Julia Roberts is America’s Sweetheart. But did you also know that she’s an obstacle course? Billy Eichner, host of “Billy on the Street,” somehow convinced “Saturday Night Live” alum Rachel Dratch to take on the course, which involved creative recreations of all of Julia’s most-loved movies.

30 Years of Music: 1990
Like many years that begin a decade, 1990 straddles what we typically associate with ’80s and ’90s music. We’ve still got big hair and basic performance videos, but there are hints at what is to come. Put on your black turtleneck, fluff that hair, and let’s get to it. Here’s Where the Story Ends — The Sundays Reading, Writing and...
How to Determine If You’re a Downton Abbey Junkie
When people need a break from partisan politics, economic woes, traffic, overflowing email boxes, and the other challenges of modern life, many turn to the usual methods of escape — football playoffs, the 2-for-1 happy hour martini special, or catching up on Say Yes To The Dress. But for many of us these days, the ultimate escape is Downton Abbey, the...
This Is Thin Privilege: Why Melissa McCarthy Makes “This Is 40? Worth Watching
Those of you who read my posts often know that I’m kind of a comedy nerd. Even though I often find Apatow movies somewhat sexist, I still watch them to see some of my favorite comedic actors doing their thing. And also, I’ve had a thing for Paul Rudd since Clueless, as my pinterest boards can attest. I had also...
This Week In Style: Is The Kate Middleton Effect Waning?
Apparently, the “Kate Effect” that has consumers scrambling to purchase clothes spotted on Kate Middleton isn’t all it’s cracked up to be: the Duchess’s penchant for wearing past-season items means most of them have already sold out by the time she’s photographed in them. Designer Roland Mouret even went so far as to say his [...]
AKA… That Time I Met Noel Gallagher
Yes, I met Noel Gallagher. It was surprisingly easy, not entirely premeditated, and out of all the questions I have ever wanted to ask him, what happened? I asked a silly one that’s been stuck in my brain since 2007. After locating my friend’s house where I was staying and going to lunch with said friend, I made my way...

Paging Winona: There’s a dreadlocked lothario almost-killer roaming your fair city of Portland. It seems that this dreadlocked dude attempted to strangle his girlfriend to death using one of his dreadlocks. (Please insert terrible, “talk about organic” joke here.) I guess sometimes you work with what you have — and in the case of 32-year-old [...]
James Franco Dons A Justin Bieber Wig, Spoofs “Boyfriend” With Ashley Benson
Another James Franco “art” project! Here he is with a Justin Bieber wig and cap spoofing the song “Boyfriend” with his “Spring Breakers” costar Ashley Benson … and some other comeley lass. Rrrow! It gets a little NSFW towards the end. I don’t remember quite so much butt in the real “Boyfriend” video. What other [...]
30 Years of Music: 1989
This project has reminded me that there are never really “bad” years in music, only years where one should really pay more attention and not let cool-kid-opinion color what you like. 1989, at a glance, might not seem like all that special of a year, but I still had to think about how I would narrow down my picks to...
Will Ferrell, Drew Barrymore — And “Billy On The Street”
Comedian Billy Eichner is super funny. In this clip from his new show “Billy On The Street,” Billy interviews the great Will Ferrell … about Drew Barrymore. After all, aren’t we always worried about what D-Barrs is up to, really? [YouTube]
Ex Porn Star Says Anal Sex Gives Birth To The Devil
I almost feel bad for ex-gay porn star Joseph Sciambra. After all, it’s pretty clear he’s mega-traumatized — both physically and emotionally — by his time in the sex industry. Sciambra claims his life in porno led to him having major anal problems, which resulted in getting his “sphincter almost stitched shut.” Ouch. But! (Okay, [...]

Hitched: What I Miss About Being Single — And What I Don’t
People just love to get engaged at Christmastime. I imagine this is a result of a combination of factors, from feeling more family-oriented than usual (although the holidays have the opposite effect on many of us) to the celebratory atmosphere at large and increased presence of shiny objects generally. I spent Christmas Eve “liking” a [...]
The Soapbox: On Proving Masculinity
Hello from out here in Man Card America, where proving your masculinity to the dude-friends who are vigilantly looking to revoke your “Man Card” if you get caught engaging in unmanly activities like being scared, doing what your girlfriend wants to do sometimes, enjoying a song by a woman, or drinking the wrong kind of [...]

Obviously, it’s not going to (even NASA says so!), but, you know, just in case it does, we’ve compiled a guide to the actions and whereabouts of each zodiac sign in an apocalyptic event.

Hitched: On Prenups
When I first read what folks are calling Amelia Earhart’s “prenup,” I was sure it was too good to be true: here is, in 1931 or thereabouts, a woman telling her fiancé in no uncertain terms that she doesn’t necessarily intend to be faithful to him, that her career comes first and that she intends [...]
