A brief revisit of the most ludicrous thing the E! channel has ever released, Pretty Wild, a reality show starring the “superficial, materialistic, and amoral” (according to Emma Watson) criminal Alexis Neiers.

A more rant-based finale for this four-part series of torture covering the most exhausting source of online discourse in recent history. Rants featured: dumb things people have said to me personally about Amber Heard and Johnny Depp, myths and misconceptions that surround the trials (f**k you, Morgan Tremaine), and the shit way social media talks about domestic abuse.

Instead of discussing how Amber Heard and Johnny Depp's war against one another is making me sad, how about we discuss how a bunch of YouTuber's petty drama is makes me want to, as the kids say, un-alive myself. Featuring Def Noodles, Keemstar, Adam McIntyre, Papa Gut, Nick DeOrio, journalist Kat Tenbarge, and some random primary candidate for US Senator (that totally lost the election).

Now that Britney Spears is out of her conservatorship, after years of the #FreeBritney movement fighting to publicize the abuse she endured at the hands of her father, I'm re-watching the 2017 Lifetime film, Britney Ever After. It didn't age well.

In a sad two-parter, I’m finally discussing *that* trial. Instead of just weighing in on the verdict for the trial, though, I’m breaking down the entirety of Johnny Depp’s and Amber Heard’s relationship, starting with their lives prior to meeting one another. Do they display patterns of abusive behavior outside of their relationship with each other? Were they both psychologically damaged prior to their union? Are there more victims of abuse in the actors’ romantic rosters that have yet to...

The final 30 songs on my irrefutable ranking of every Britney Spears song, featuring long rants about self-referential pop, the genius of Blackout, and why I'll never forgive Justin Timberlake.

Continuing my ranking of Britney Spears tracks from “best to worst” (though in a much more obnoxiously complicated and pretentious way than that), starting at number 100 and ending at 31. Meaning next week is the top 30!
