  • Quite Possibly the Worst Tonys Recap Ever

    Miss the Tony Awards? The people of the greater Atlanta area know how you feel — their local CBS station cruelly cut off the awards show before they could see host Neil Patrick Harris shower the audience with candy or dismantle the entire PRISM program or whatever you guys were freaking out about on Twitter […]

  • Sad Daft Punk

    So Now Everyone Knows What Daft Punk Looks Like. Are You Happy, Internet?

    Thanks to Tumblr, Twitter, TMZ, Kim Kardashian, Lena Dunham, the reverse camera button on Instagram, and innumerable other factors, we live in the age of the overshare. This is not news by any means, and by now we’ve mostly accepted that any effort to reverse this cultural drift is futile. (Though both sexes can be […]

    It’s a Slow Star Wars News Week, So Thank the Maker for Those Florence Rumors

    This is ForceWatch, your as-needed check-in with the upcoming Star Wars reboot, including but not limited to Star Wars Episode VII. Full disclosure: Disney owns Grantland, and the rest of the universe. These days, much to the dismay of my Google Alerts, the automatic interview question to ask every actor is, “Hey, wouldn’t it be […]

  • Mistresses

    Bang With Friends: Mistresses Form Like Voltron

    What kind of sex problem would you have if you were on Mistresses (the “provocative and thrilling” new summer drama that premiered on ABC last night)? Right now there’s a lawyer with a hot Aussie chef husband who’s having trouble conceiving, a widowed shabby-chic shop owner mom whose dead husband’s ghost (OR IS IT) is trying […]

  • Red Wedding Tears

    Still Grieving Over Last Night’s Game of Thrones? There’s a Twitter Account for That

    SPOILER ALERT: Last night’s episode of Game of Thrones was rather eventful.

  • Take a Look Inside Heath Ledger’s Creepy Dark Knight Diary

    Good news, America! You do not have a monopoly on morbid, celebrity-obsessed reality television! There’s apparently a show called Too Young to Die in Germany, and it did an episode on Heath Ledger, because sometimes you just need to watch something that makes you feel creepy and sad. Here’s some footage of the diary Ledger […]

  • The ‘Ashtrays and Heartbreaks’ Music Video: Here Comes Miley Cyrus’s Dark Period

    When Miley Cyrus and Snoop Lion’s “Ashtrays and Heartbreaks” dropped a couple months ago, you were probably like Hey, what a nice, summery, mindless little chill sesh, right? It’s just melancholy enough to spur theories about Miley’s rumored confirmed crumbling personal life, but has a nice, positive “life-goes-on-as-long-as-you-don’t-get-lung-cancer” vibe. It’s nice that Cyrus doesn’t have […]

  • Anamanaguchi’s Space Pizza Video Was Nearly Foiled by the Bomb Squad

    Anamanaguchi, the self-described “hacker boy band” whom you may know from their soundtrack to the Scott Pilgrim vs. the World video game, recently completed are nearing the end of a massively successful Kickstarter to help promote their self-released album Endless Fantasy. (They have so far raised over $211,105 of an initial goal of $50,000 to […]

  • Benedict Cumberbatch and Alice Eve

    The Deleted Benedict Cumberbatch Star Trek Shower Scene and the Nonexistent Nudity Exchange

    Last night, Conan O’Brien had J.J. Abrams on his show to talk about Star Trek Into Darkness, among other things of course, and at one point the conversation turned to Alice Eve and her brief, yet exceedingly stupid and gratuitous, underwear shot in the film. (Conan’s stance: “I didn’t personally see what the fuss was […]

  • Girls in Hoodies Podcast: Mad Men, Kitchen Nightmares, and Frances Ha

    The Girls in Hoodies go bicoastal this week, with Emily phoning in from New York (apologies in advance for the sound quality) while Molly and Tess hold down the fort in L.A. We would be remiss if we didn’t talk about That Mad Men Episode for a bit, and the pros and cons of abstract Mad […]
