Taylor Swift has only taken her ‘Reputation’ tour to five cities so far, and yet she’s already raked in more money than any of us can even imagine. Which is funny because the last time I visited five cities, my bank account got very mad at me. Please make sure you are sitting down and have a glass of your fave alcohol nearby, because the money that Taylor Swift has earned in May alone (just from touring, mind you) is going to make you question all your life choices. Ready for it? Here we go: the…

No time to read in the A.M.? We gotchu.

Piers Morgan is at it again. On Monday, he decided it was high time to criticize Ellen for her #InternationalMensDay video montage. Piers, one of the preeminent scholars of modern-day feminism, had a bone to pick with the talk-show host. Soon after, he decided to come for Little Mix, suggesting that the group had copied the Dixie Chicks (hasn’t he ever heard of inspiration?) for the new promo art for their album LM5. And apparently he was offended—once again—by female nudity. Thankfully, Ariana…

Jordyn Woods sat down for an interview with her aunt Jada Pinkett Smith on the Facebook Watch show Red Table Talk.She categorically denied hooking up with Tristan Thompson but did admit they kissed.Happy Red Table Talk day! Jordyn Woods just sat down for her first interview after the Tristan Thompson cheating scandal with Jada Pinkett Smith. The interview only lasted 30 minutes, but A. LOT. HAPPENED. Here are the most shocking revelations from the interview: Jordyn Flat-Out Denied Hooking Up wit…

Through my dad’s work as a union organizer for hotel and restaurant employees across the country, he’s met—and I’ve met through him—many hardworking immigrants who have come to America with the goal of establishing a better life for themselves and their families. Carmen Castillo’s story stands out for a particular, inspiring reason. She’s the first immigrant hotel-room attendant to be elected to the city council in a major American city. While President Trump would have you believe that immigran…

Meghan Markle gave birth to a baby boy on Monday! Hooray. I, for one, was quite excited. Meghan and her hubby Prince Harry are known for breaking royal protocol left and right, starting with their engagement, throughout their wedding, and all the way up to this week, when they decided not to pose for the usually requisite post-birth photos outside Lindo Wing. They’re a refreshingly modern couple against a backdrop of one of the most uptight (sorry, Queen E) and legendary institutions in history.…

Bradley Cooper and Irina Shayk have broken up, according to a People report.Bradley and Irina began dating in 2015, and they have one daughter together.Ugh, you guys. The moment is officially here. We thought it might be coming, but that doesn’t make it sting any less. According to People, Bradley Cooper and Irina Shayk are officially done-zo.Speculation that the two were on the rocks began a few months ago when Bradley and his A Star Is Born costar Lady Gaga began demonstrating major amounts of…

Let me subject you to a boring personal story real quick. (I promise it’s relevant.) My boyfriend and I attended a wedding in Sonoma, California, over Memorial Day Weekend, which we wanted to use as a launchpad for a mini vacation. Hawaii was a tad too far and a tad too expensive for our time constraints, and Seattle sounded too...rainy. Which is how we came to fly into Palm Springs and jaunt over to Joshua Tree for a few days. Until this trip, my primary impression of Palm Springs was “the air…

I am really not a car person. I can’t tell any of the models apart and I couldn’t care less about...wait, I don’t even know what car people care about. The engine? The navigation system? The comfy interior? I drove my family’s minivan in high school, and nowadays, as a New York City resident, I’m hardly ever behind the wheel. But a couple of times a year, often in the summer, I am forced to rent a car to get out of this godforsaken city that I love so much. Public transpo will only get you so f…

Hi, I’m Rosa Heyman, and I live with a mustache now. The man behind the mustache used to be my fiancé, but now all I can see is the caterpillar above his upper lip. With just two weeks of social isolation under his belt, Josh, as he was formerly known, triumphantly walked out of the bathroom to show off his new ’stache. I was uncomfortable but not surprised—I had already started experimenting with retinol, dabbled at an embroidery kit, and been aggressively lighting candles. Josh’s ’stache? It w…

I don’t need God to bless me. I need you to approve a COVID-19 relief bill.

Update: Y’all were right! Friend of the garbage Raccoon took off his mask in episode 3 and turned out to be actor, activist, and restauranteur Danny Trejo! Good sleuthing, kiddos. “If they would have judged me on cuteness, I woulda won,” he joked in his unmasked interview—watch the video below.Just when you thought your Wednesday evenings were safe and you were free to do with them what the lord intended (look in the fridge, contemplate cooking something healthy, and order pizza instead), FOX de…

Ahem, right here.

When Mercedes-Benz asks if you’d like to fly down to Atlanta, Georgia, for the Beyoncé Renaissance World Tour, you say yes. It doesn’t matter what else you have going on that weekend. You cancel your plans and you get on the plane. It’s Beyoncé! In Atlanta!Atlanta’s music roots run deep, and the history of the storied city is way too rich and complex to do it justice in this piece. Suffice it to say I knew that a Beyoncé concert in what is often said to be the center of the hip-hop universe woul…

You know when you’re on your 87th wedding of the year, and you’re running out of vacation days, and your credit card is about to snap in two, but your friends will simply not stop getting married? Yeah, that’s been my life for the past five years. Which is why I decided to make a new personal rule: If I’m flying to some far-flung destination to celebrate your nuptials, I’m staying at a cool hotel. Nope, sorry, you will not see me in the room block you reserved at the B*st W*stern, I demand top-n…

No knock against France or Spain, but Portugal is the unsung hero of Europe. Okay, maybe “unsung” isn’t really fair, especially since it seems like everyone and their mother has visited Portugal in the last couple of years. But I still feel like the Eiffel Tower and Barcelona get all the glory. Let’s change that, starting right now. I was lucky enough to visit Lisbon, the capital city, last summer and stay at the Verride Palácio de Santa Catarina. And reader? Let me tell you, hotels have unfortu…

The Azores, an archipelago of nine tiny Portuguese islands in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, feels like a secret. When you meet someone who has also been lucky enough to hike along the ridge of the Sete Cidades crater lake or whale-watch eight miles off the coast in a little dinghy, you instantly bond. The uninitiated simply can’t understand. I visited the Azores in August, when the region gets the least rain, and stayed exclusively on São Miguel, the biggest and most populous island. (Also i…
