Remember the summer of 1995 when Clueless hit theaters and you just knew you were gonna be "rolling with the homies" forever? That's the summer I fell in love with Dionne Davenport, played masterfully by Stacey Dash (fun fact: she is the cousin of Dame Dash, aka The Guy Formerly Known As Jay Z's BFF). But then the party came to an abrupt stop during the 2012 presidential election when Dash came out in support of Republican candidate Mitt Romney. Twitter damn-near skewered her, too (a lot of which had to do with Dash being a black woman in the public sphere, but as my Uncle Rodney once told me: Haters gonna hate, son).

The Beygency has just released an official statement to the Associated Press regarding the recently leaked elevator security footage captured at the Met Gala earlier this month. In it, Jay Z and Solange "each assume their share of responsibility" for the confrontation. They also dismiss reports that Solange was "intoxicated or displaying erratic behavior throughout that evening" as "simply false." She was just being herself. :)

In April, three roommates were watching a movie in their New Paltz, NY home when they noticed several lumps in the side cushions of their new couch, which they'd purchased two months prior from a Salvation Army. Reese Werkhoven, Cally Guasti, and Lara Russo rooted through the couch's cushions and pulled out several large envelopes stuffed with $20 bills.
Streaming video services are a blessing and a curse. Trying to choose from among the documentary you swear you'll watch someday, a campy horror remake, one of Tyler Perry's 50 Tyler Perry movies starring Tyler Perry, and Cocktail is hard enough when you're alone. Throw another person into the mix, and you don't stand a chance.

When Michael Jackson died June 25, 2009, it had been almost eight years since he hit the Top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100 in the U.S. (and just barely—2001's "You Rock My World" peaked at No. 10). Billboard reports that in the nearly five years since his death, he's sold 12.8 million albums. It is an oft-made observation that death gave him the comeback he wouldn't likely have achieved again in life. By the end, he was gone–too self-absorbed, too clouded by drug addiction. Like many greats, his creative juices had an expiration date. After the earth-shattering release of Thriller, he spent the rest of his career chasing after that level of glory, achieving aftershocks at best.

Indian workers prepare sweets anticipating election victory for the Bharatiya Janata Party at its New Delhi headquarters on Thursday. Official results are expected on Friday, but exit polls by at least six TV stations show the BJP is likely to win enough seats to form a coalition government. Image via Manish Swarup/AP.

Yesterday, when Arthur Sulzberger announced to the Times staff that he'd fired editor-in-chief Jill Abramson, he reportedly told the staff something like, "When women get to top management positions, they are sometimes fired, just as men are." A lot of the women I know who have similar professional ambitions to mine are stuck on that phrase: "Just as men are."
Jameis Winston, the Heisman winner, national title champ, and Florida State football hero, can do no wrong according to his biggest boosters—at least, not without incontrovertible evidence. Well, here's some evidence that he's a dumb supermarket thief, if nothing else.
Four men vying for the Republican nomination for governor of Idaho had a debate last night, and an SNL sketch broke out. Seriously, the least weird thing about it was the incumbent governor, and his name is Butch Otter.
