Last night, the U.K.'s BBC Three aired a new show called Festivals, Sex and Suspicious Parents. It's a spin-off of the three-year-old Sun, Sex and Suspicious Parents, in which parents spied on the idiotic behavior of their kids (in their late teens and early twenties) on holiday, as the Brits put it. MTV had a show like this called Parental Control, in which parents watched their kids go on dates, but ...Sex and Suspicious Parents is better because it's British and raunchier.

An artisanal cannibalism startup says it wants to sell meat grown from the tissue of celebrities like Kanye West and James Franco.

Worrying about global warming can be exhausting. What should we do? Recycle? Plant a garden? It's confusing. So it's good to hear a respected scientist say: Relax. We're already completely fucked no matter what.

During The O'Reilly Factor last night, Bill O'Reilly posed an interesting question to his two guests, Kristen Powers and Kate Obenshain: "There has got to be some downside to having a woman president, right?"

House Speaker John Boner made a Boehner joke on Wednesday after a reporter confused him with Rep. Dave Camp.

An ill widower outside Orlando died after he was taken off life support at the behest of his stepbrother. Only the "stepbrother" turned out to be a mere acquaintance who cleared out the dead man's house and took $106,000 from his bank account, according to a new investigation.

Last week, we learned that former British prime minister Tony Blair emailed called disgraced News Corp. executive Rebekah Brooks in 2011 to offer his "unofficial" consulting services as she faced arrest over the company's metastasizing phone hacking scandal. And last year, we learned that Blair had also been allegedly fucking Murdoch's then-wife Wendi Deng in a bizarre love triangle. Today, we learned that, according to tax documents Gawker has obtained, Murdoch's News Corp. was paying Blair's private foundation while all this incestuous, wheels-within-wheels melodrama was going on.

Late night host and reason-we-can't-have-nice-things Jimmy Kimmel has made a schtick out of destroying your ability to trust a viral video ever again, but the tears he cried for a 7-year-old boy with cancer were no hoax.

A new poll finds that large majorities of Americans do not believe in common superstitions like "knocking on wood prevents bad luck." But 78% of Americans believe all that shit about Jesus. Huh.

Liam Neeson's Daily Show interview last night ostensibly served to promote his latest movie Non-Stop, but over half of it was taken up by his passionate advocacy to keep horse-drawn carriages in New York. True to his action-hero persona, Liam Neeson cares a lot and is not afraid of anything—not even the wrath of PETA. What a weird fucking platform, though.

U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder was taken to a D.C. hospital this morning after experiencing chest pains and shortness of breath. He was discharged this afternoon, and is now resting at home.

First a parrot rats out its owner for a DUI and now this: Last week, a talking parrot helped police solve the mysterious murder of its owner.

A spectre is haunting fashion: the spectre of normcore. New York magazine's Fiona Duncan explains:

If you want some broccoli, you'll have to get it elsewhere, because Ginnan the cat isn't sharing.

Embattled and disgraced butter shill Paula Deen is the gift that keeps on giving, if you consider an uncannily chipper older woman whose face is always an interesting color and who can't quite manage to stop saying shitty things about minorities despite a career-upending scandal tied to her racism a gift. (You do. That's why you're here.)

Last year, hedge fund founder George Soros made $4 billion. Five other hedge fund men made more than $1 billion. This, while hedge funds on the whole did much, much worse than a simple stock fund. Which brings us to the topic of socialism.

Ronan Farrow’s new daytime MSNBC show, Ronan Farrow Daily, promises to deliver “Farrow’s fresh, engaging take on the stories and issues of the day.” Conveniently, it also reminds viewers of Farrow’s numerous accomplishments (not including becoming the host of Ronan Farrow Daily).
