Live: Ingrid Michaelson Gets Playful With Food At... →
aka, how I got to talk about cucumbers and Ingrid Michaelson for The Village Voice. Her new album is great.
Watchvh1:
You StarKids have been exceedingly patient and it’s finally time for your reward! Team StarKid stopped by our NYC offices to talk about their recent S.P.A.C.E. tour, drop some hints for future travels (can you say West Coast and UK?!) and show off some EXCLUSIVE footage from their final weekend of performances last Fall.
You’ve seen our GIFs, so now we want to see your best ones of the...

r0bertbrowniejr:
Yesterday my mom posted a picture on Facebook of my 5 year old brother Sam wearing a pair of shoes he picked out for his first day of preschool.
She explained to him in the store that they were really made for girls. Sam then told her that he didn’t care and that…
Click and read, click and read. Although perhaps the part where he was most excited they were...

IF THE SHOE FITS… WEAR IT TO THE CITY CIRCLE!
It’s that time of year again, citizens! As all of Panem gears up for the Opening Ceremonies, we’ve been doing some serious shoe-stalking around town. It seems like everyone who’s anyone is traipsing about the City Circle in the latest and the greatest kicks. Check out some of the highlights from our trés fashionable...
Got into the office
drinkyourjuice:
and the first thing I did was Google image search “je suis la jeune fille” in an attempt to find that chick from the Muzzy commercials, but ended up with a big screenful of French teens masturbating. Looked over my shoulder and at least three people bore witness to the event.
JUST GETTING STRAIGHT TO WORK, Y’ALL. HOW WAS EVERYONE’S WEEKEND?
I wish you’d found the chick...

jpierreponts:
How I learned the difference between love and respect at my first Broadway show.
We arrived to the theater about 30 minutes before the show was scheduled to start, so I began talking to the girls seated in front of us. They seemed very lovely, and smart. They laughed at…
An extremely well put piece on how fans interact with their objects of affection, through the lens of...

I’m in a hotel room which is a novelty for me cause I also live in this city, and there’s sports on the TV, so ask me things if you want!

anyone in need of a Drake, Justin Bieber, Kesha, Nicki Minaj or Eminem VMA poster?
(they’re actually beautiful B&W shots, and there a bunch of each)
signal boost! If anyone on my list wants I can coordinate.
Drinks with Iceland update
growltiger:
So … Iceland got back to us! And, in crazy news, Iceland might not be in Iceland when we are going to Iceland!
I suspect Iceland is going to Miami. EVEN ICELAND LEAVES ICELAND IN EARLY FEBRUARY!
Our trip to Iceland is starting to feel like an episode of Lost. DOES THE ISLAND EVEN EXIST?

How I Write
luckypaperstars:
Professionally:
1. Put the thoughts in my head on paper.
2. Go back and take out half of the non-simile, non-approving “likes”
3. Take out the rest of the non-simile, non-approving “likes”
Personally:
1. Put like, the thoughts in my head on like, paper.
2. Go back and take out like, half of the non-simile, non-approving “likes”
3. Go back and like, add back in like, half...

From Stephen King to The Last Seduction:... →
lettersfromtitan:
isn’t it sort of absurd that in writing about pop-culture, which is something structured through the lens of commercialized teen desire even when it is not marketed to or about teens, that one of the biggest insults and risks to the women who write about these sorts of topics with any ambition is that of being dismissed as a girl-child of that particular age?

One of the most influential teachers in my life.
I’ve been writing my “how did I get here” piece for you all about what I did in college and how I work in entertainment today, and was just blindsided by the loss of one of the people who set me on to this path.
Heading into college I knew I wanted to be a journalist. I only applied places with journalism degrees, and i was lucky to have one of the best schools possible...
big life, small space: make your own myths →
lettersfromtitan:
I feel like the one giant, screaming lesson of this fandom should really be: make your own myths.
Because, with Glee, and the stories of the actors in Glee, that’s what we’re responding to, people self-assigning narrative.
Whether that’s on the side of the fourth wall where Darren Criss spins…
This is all that RM and I tend to talk about. And also because some days...
Should Vanity Fair Be a Spelling Vigilante?
vanityfair:
Just as New York Times public editor Arthur S. Brisbane is concerned whether his newspaper should print lies or the truth, we here at V.F. looking for reader input on whether and when Vanity Fair should spell “words” correctly in the stories we publish.
One example: the word “maintenance” seems like it should only have one “a” in it. It should be “maintenence,” right? But it’s not....
Critics' Choice Movie Awards! Live! Tonight! On...
growltiger:
Okay, I know you’re all going to be watching 30 Rock at 8, but if you could ALSO tune in to VH1, or at least DVR the Critics’ Choice Movie Awards that would be the best. Because Paul Scheer and Rob Huebel are hosting. And it will be fabulous. And if it rates really well, I will be a happy girl in showbiz. DO IT FOR ME? Please?
And do it for me too. And tune into this little...
