Paramore is a BAND!
Share: Paramore kicked off the international leg as openers for the Eras Tour and they absolutely rock.

Met Gal-Blah 2024: Rich people dress like shit
Share: The Met Gala was this Monday, and celebrities reminded us yet again that even though they have all the money and power in the world, they still don’t know how to follow a theme. The theme for this year’s Met Gala was “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion,” with the dress code being “The Garden of Time” inspired by JG Ballard’s 1962 short story. Evidently, many celebrities took the garden part a bit too literally, simply throwing in a floral pattern and calling it a day. …
‘Baby Reindeer’ is not christmas themed and definitely not for babies
Share: “Baby Reindeer” is an emotionally challenging watch but is indubitably one of the best pieces of media to come out this year. It follows the tragic story of an aspiring comedian who is being stalked by a woman he met while working at a bar.

The limited series has entered the race to …

Influencers such as Nara Smith, and Hannah Neeleman have been accused of spreading tradwife as well …

A scandal also took publications Reuters, The Associated Press, and others by storm when they had to retract what Kensington Palace claimed to be the first photo of the princess in months.
