Girls in Hoodies Podcast: Breaking Down the Bracket, Plus the Taylor Swift Report and Lindsay Lohan vs. Oprah
Today on Girls in Hoodies we kick things off by attempting to explain/pick apart Grantland’s not-at-all-controversial Best Songs of the Millennium bracket. (We would appreciate any and all votes for our theme song, “Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites,” currently languishing against “Call Me Maybe.”) Molly and Emily recap their Taylor Swift adventure at Staples Center, […]

Diving Into the Red Sea at Taylor Swift's Sold-Out Staples Center Concert
Taylor Swift is in the middle of a sold-out four-night engagement at Staples Center in Los Angeles, and Grantland writers Molly Lambert and Emily Yoshida could not resist the pull of Swiftmania. Last night, they surrendered themselves to the beckoning calls of 15,000 screaming fans, and from their stage-left nosebleed seats they witnessed an evening […]

UPDATE: J.J. Abrams's Mysterious Trailer, Demystified
Yesterday we alerted you to an upcoming J.J. Abrams project via a highly mysterious (mysterious!? That guy!?) trailer tweeted by Bad Robot. We made a few educated guesses, refreshed the clip until our eyes bled, and played it backward slowed down until we were sure we could hear the bassline to “Yub Nub” in the […]

Lady Gaga, Beef Hunter
The Little Monsters have had no shortage of work to do in the week since Lady Gaga’s “Applause” was released on iTunes, and this weekend they industriously applied themselves to a new cause: Burn Perez Hilton to the ground. Perez, Gaga’s former bestie before some as-yet-undefined major falling-out, has been subtly-to-overtly shading Gaga on his […]

'Shipping Newsroom Season 2, Episode 6: 'One Step Too Many'
NEW: Mac & Don (MacKeefer) “Oh, Don. Don Don. Don. Are you happy with that name? Don?” – MacKenzie McHale So finally we get a straight answer from Don about why he hasn’t gone after Sloan, and it is a pretty inarguable one: Sometimes, when she fills in for Eli, Don is her boss. Bless […]

Trailers of the Week: Don Jon, C.O.G., Fading Gigolo, and More
A.C.O.D. (TBD) Silver: What’s not to like about this? Really? I honestly can’t find a thing. The cast is amazing. The tone is reminiscent of early Apatow, when his films danced down the razor-thin line between comedy and drama, and then (sorta) knew when to end. A.C.O.D. looks to contain as much heart as it contains laughs. […]

Girls in Hoodies Podcast: Breaking Bad, Kendrick Lamar, Gaga, and Miley
It’s all about Internet beef today on the Hoodies pod, or at least beef with the Internet. From the overmemefication of Breaking Bad (or overevangelizing, for those of us still not hooked on the Blue) to the near-psychotic stan wars surrounding Lady Gaga and Katy Perry’s upcoming album releases, to fallout (?) from Kendrick Lamar’s […]

Grading Prince's First 24 Hours on Twitter
If you were online last night and started to see an unusual number of tweets directed to “@3rdeyegirl,” I’m happy to report that the talk of the Twitter last night was not, in fact, a Stephan Jenkins stan gone viral, but the happy news that the Internet has finally been legitimized and can commence its […]

NEW: Maggie & Sluts (Sluggie) “The country is divided into people who like sex and people who are utterly creeped out by it. I’m one of the sex people.” —Maggie Jordan I can’t even begin to imagine how much Alison Pill’s nude Twitpic scandal turned Aaron Sorkin’s world upside down, especially in the wake of […]
