This past January, three intrepid Gawker employees traveled to around the corner from their office to try out New York's bougie new fitness craze: SoulCycle. What the experience lacked in comfort, it made up for in terror and also seeing Chelsea Clinton. Emboldened, last night two of them (the third is on a cruise eating hot dogs from a buffet), accepted an invitation to tackle a new fitness fad, this one favored by women of a certain age: Zumba.

The latest Vampire Weekend track has quite the cameo list: Joe Jonas, RZA, and Lil Jon. "Giving Up the Gun" is so catchy that it will surely infect pop music for the next year. Don't say we didn't warn you.
