On Tuesday, we reached another significant milestone in the the infuriating, soul-crushing, “is this shit really happening in 2016?” hellscape that is the current presidential election: Hillary Rodham Clinton is now the official Democratic nominee.
It is the first time in our nation's 240-year history a woman has been the official nominee of a major party in a presidential election. Some are celebrating. Others are burning pants suit effigies. The rest are rapt with an overwhelming sense of meh. While HRC is nowhere near the dumpster fire-levels of suckage that is Donald Trump’s platform of racism, sexism, homophobia, and general sliminess, she’s lightyears away from a dream presidential candidate, especially if you reveled in the "Yes We Can" optimism of President Obama's previous elections. At this point, I’d sooner vote for Francis J. Underwood. But these are the cards we’ve been dealt, and the least crappy hand has to be played. So how do outraged Americans cope? By venting on social media, of course! Twitter user Mad Black Thot capitalized on her democratic depression by creating the hashtag #GirlIGuessImWithHer, and Black Twitter took it from there. The inventive hashtag quickly exploded into a hilarious and bleak catharsis on our collective political purgatory and being forced to back the less diabolical candidate. Here are the best #GirlIGuessImWithHer tweets:

A landmark event just shocked the world—something rarer than a lunar eclipse, a volcanic eruption or Michael Bay producing a decent movie.
Music icon and The Voice judge Christina Aguilera has ditched her trademark platinum blonde for a sultry red! Always one to make an entrance, Xtina debuted her fiery locks at "Hillary Clinton: She’s With Us Fundraiser Concert" on Monday, where she performed, and on Instagram. The fabulous new shade still capitalizes on her beloved old Hollywood aesthetic, and the result is Jessica Rabbit 1940s Pin-Up Slayage with a modern edge. Aguilera was taking insane risks with fashion when Lady Gaga and Nick Minaj were still in grade school, but she hasn't made a such drastic hair change since dyeing it black in 2003. Hopefully, like Xtina, this shade is here to stay! Check out some of Xtina's fiercest hair moments below! What do you think of her new 'do?
Leave it to Justin Timberlake to find entertainment in the everyday. As promised, JT released the official video for his shiny new single "Can't Stop The Feeling" on Monday night.
The video finds JT groovin' his way through breakfast, grocery shopping and an impromptu dance-off with a giant inflatable man! The whimsical video, which also features regular people dancing like nobody is watching, captures the party in the plain and the funky vibrance of his first new song in three years. Of course, the nine-time Grammy winner has plenty of reasons to celebrate. "Can't Stop The Feeling" is his fifth solo No. 1 Single on Billboard's Hot 100, and will be featured in upcoming animated movie, Trolls, also starring Anna Kendrick. Watch the video below, crank it up and get your dance dance dance on (even if you’re at work)!
It's rare that May blooms without the hint of an official summer song. How are we supposed to get our summer jam on without a fresh banger?
Like a musical superhero, nine-time Grammy winner Justin Timberlake swooped out of his hiatus to debut his a new single, "Can't Stop The Feeling,” late Thursday night. Just like that summer is saved! Over the past few days, DJs and producers across the country have been tweeting their love for the new Timberlake joint that will be featured in the upcoming animated movie, Trolls, starring Anna Kendrick, James Corden and Timberlake himself. Music curator and producer Scott Vener described it as "dance MJ meets BILL WITHERS disco," in a tweet. And he’s not wrong. Not unlike the Oscar-nominated “Happy” from Despicable Me 2, “Can’t Stop The Feeling” is charged with an effervescent, adorable fun, powered by child-friendly lyrics, an infectious, funky edge, and Timberlake’s soulful voice. The addictive song ensures that it’ll be played endlessly at summer cook-outs, graduation parties and roadtrips. EOnline.com reports that Timberlake’s new album—his first since 2013’s The 20/20 Experience—will be released later this year. What do you think of “Can’t Stop The Feeling”? Listen below or buy on iTunes, and sound off below.
The first Monday is May may be ho-hum for us working-stiffs but if you’re among the celebrity elite, it is the Superbowl of fashion events. The annual Met Gala—an event hosted by Vogue Magazine, that celebrates the opening of the fashion exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art—is held in New York City, and it boasts one of the most extreme red carpets of the season.
This year’s theme is “Manus x Machina: Fashion in an Age Of Technology.” Like contestants on Project Runway, stylists bolted for the nearest metallic dresses and bedazzlers. This Small Screen Girl, who would happily live in sweatpants if I didn’t have to go to said day job, dies for the sublime moments of wearable art and cringe-worthy moments of horrendous fails. The only edit I have for next year is that there should be actual Anna Wintour-trained fashion police to escort people off the red carpet who dare to show up in regular clothes. Fittingly, technology only makes the Met Gala coverage better. Thanks to social media, fashionistas across the planet can react to the red carpet chaos in real time, and they wasted no time providing hilarious and merciless commentary on the over-the-top ensembles. Here are by favorite and most lethal reactions to Met Gala fashion...
Trend alert: Kindness is the new sexy.
Don’t believe me? This Monday's Man Crush will prove it in spades. When he’s not executive producing and starring in his own TV show, Ballers, filming or promoting his latest summer blockbusters like the Baywatch re-boot or Central Intelligence with Kevin Hart, or kicking ass in the WWE ring, Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson still manages to be totally crushable.
The music gods may have just answered our Timber-prayers. Justin Timberlake might be making music again!
On Thursday, the nine-time Grammy winner incited a social media frenzy by sharing a black and white snap of him in the studio with The Voice judge, uber-producer and friend, Pharrell Williams along with the mysterious caption: “Currently…” The picture received a blazing 250,000 Likes in a matter of hours as fans gushed over the prospect of a fourth JT LP.
Last week, a new and fantastic trailer for Captain America: The Winter Soldier just about obliterated the internet. Between Captain America’s angsty voiceover, T’Challa/Black Panther in all of his big cat glory, and Bucky Barnes’ remorseless attempt to shoot Tony Stark in the face (!!!), I’ve all but memorized every frame. The trailer draws battlelines between Team Cap and Team Iron Man. Which side am I on? The hottest one, of course!
Golden Globe winner Gina Rodriguez might play a kind-hearted, Type A single mother on her scrumptious telenovela, Jane The Virgin, but a new Instagram video proves of her boxing she’s slightly different from her character, Jane. The actor, newly minted red carpet staple and recent recipient of the Young Humanitarian Award at Variety’s unite:4humanity benefit proves she’s also a badass in an Instagram video showcasing her mad boxing skills.
“This is because I love you guys so much. I’m actually doing this. I don’t know what’s going to happen,” Gina squeals to the camera before displaying impressive footwork and speed as she boxes, bobs and weaves with a trainer. Her boxing prowess would make Rocky and Adonis Creed proud. I'm betting that Rodriguez will showcase those skills on the big screen or her television show very soon! Check out the epic video below. If you think an expanding baby bump dooms you to two trimesters of chaste, tent-esque maternity clothes, then you haven’t seen model and TV personality and mom-to-be Chrissy Teigen on a red carpet.
Teigen, who is expecting a daughter with husband John Legend, is redefining pregnancy chic by clinging to fashion staples—leather, heels and denim shorts—and embracing her growing bump. Check out Chrissy’s dynamic pregnancy style! |
