In Incredibly Mature Move, Conservatives Tell Lena Dunham They Hope She Gets Breast Cancer

Well it wouldn’t be a morning in America if people weren’t upset with Lena Dunham for some reason or another. Today cause du jour? Apparently she tweeted something disrespectful out about Memorial Day, which obviously angered people and led them to tweet at her that they hope she gets breast cancer. It all makes perfect sense, right? No, okay, let’s back up up the logic train for a hot sec and try to figure this thing out. More »

Red Carpet: Awesome People Hung Out With Other Awesome People At The TIME 100 Gala

Red Carpet: Awesome People Hung Out With Other Awesome People At The TIME 100 Gala

I’m typically not a celeb-envier; all the cameras, attention, rumors and stress sound…well, stressful. But when I see photos of awesome people geting together at the TIME 100 Gala last night and hanging out like it ain’t no thang, it’s hard not to be jealous. People like Amy Poelher and Jimmy Fallon and Gabrielle Giffords…it’s enough to make me want to invent something awesome, produce a movie starring myself and show up at events in really expensive evening wear (i.e. not Forever 21/H&M, like my usual get-up)…

Celebrities Who Say They ARE Feminists

Celebrities Who Say They ARE Feminists

Well, Beyonce is kind of a feminist. She’s a “modern day” feminist which is kind of an annoying, hedging term. But still! Kind of! She’s kind of into feminism!

And then there are these celebrities, who are proud feminists, and aren’t ashamed to say so.

I’ll say it a hundred times – feminism just means you believe in equal opportunity. If your dream was to do anything, and you wanted the same ability to pursue that dream a man would have (and to be paid the same amount for it) it’s okay to call yourself a feminist.

Please, take note, Taylor Swift. These people are great.

How Would Lena Dunham Feel If She Woke Up With A ‘Victoria’s Secret Body’?

How Would Lena Dunham Feel If She Woke Up With A 'Victoria's Secret Body'?

Most of the time, Playboy strikes me as the kind of magazine that doesn’t really care to include much about women’s issues. Sure, they’ll discuss the woman on the cover’s legs or her last relationship, but whenever I’ve picked up a copy to read on the plane, I’ve rarely been excited by the questions they ask a female. Fortunately, the Lena Dunham interview for their April issue is mostly fantastic.

Well, except one question and its answer. More »

Red Carpet Rundown: Jessica Chastain, Lena Dunham, Amy Poehler & More Attend 2013 Writers Guild Awards

The Writers Guild Awards took place in Los Angeles this weekend and the red carpet was surprisingly comely–who’d have thought a bunch of schlubby creative types would turn it out much, much better than those hopeless Grammys attendees? …Well, reasonable people, we guess.

Anyway, famous ladies in dresses stopped by. Let’s see what they wore! More »
