The Help hit theaters on Wednesday and I thought it’d be fun to feature a film for For Your Consideration that was about the civil rights movie and was told from a black woman’s perspective. A nice counterpoint to a film that’s proving quite controversial (imagine a film about the suffragette movement told entirely from [...]

PRIME GOSSIP: FemPop’s three picks for the day’s top gossip, contributing in our own little way to the decline and fall of the empire. THANK US LATER, ESPECIALLY YOU, CHRIS BROWN FAN MACHINE! 1.) There is a RIDICULOUS video of Lindsay Lohan “buying drugs” on the internet today. I venture so far as to say it is also [...]

  So ABC and TMZ are reporting that Rebecca Black, she whose oft mocked but secretly adored video and song “Friday” went madly viral, is being pulled out of school for near constant bullying. I read this and I was all, “Dawwww, that’s not cool. She was very level-headed about the whole phenomenon and a [...]

This item makes me wanna vomit and then slap a ham (not in a sexy way, but in a this-object-is-like-human-fat-but-dead-already-so-no-harm-caused-and-also-delicious-way.) so forewarned – this is not unbiased reporting. Kenneth Moreno, one of two New York Police Department officers tried and aquitted for raping a woman in Manhattan, has been sentenced to one year in jail [...]

  In 1979 at the age of 29 marathon swimmer Diana Nyad set the record for longest cage-free swim (from the Bahamas to Florida that’s almost 105 miles for anyone doing the math. Cage-free, you may ask, is she is a chicken? Are there eggs involved? No and no. Though the tale of a marathon [...]

Bravo to Newsweek for taking a stand against Photoshop. They’re bound and determined to show ever little nook and cranny on a person’s face and to light them like an elementary school yearbook photo. I applaud them for their dedication to…oooh yikes. Having read Tina Fey’s book and watched a lot of Ugly Betty and [...]

For whatever reason I’ve never really paid attention to how Christopher Nolan handles women in his films. Maybe it’s because I find most of his films so sterile and devoid of emotion that I forget them not long after I watch them. The guy always shoots gorgeous movies and he has one of the deftest [...]

I cannot wait for Gaga’s new video:  You and I.  Why? Because it may possibly feature Jo Calderone. Take a good, hard look at the photo for the new single’s cover.  Notice anything strange?  Asking yourself, “Why does Gaga have this creepy-looking dude on the cover of her new single?” Because IT IS GAGA, B*TCHES.

Prime Gossip: What You Missed This Weekend Edition!  * America is Poor Now! In case you didn’t hear – our country is no longer risk-free credit-wise. Yeah. It’s not awesome. If you’d like, you are free to blame my current involvment in the stock market. I know my parents have been. Buh huh huh huh [...]

Nicki Minaj was on Good Morning America which, LOL, ammiright? Anywhere, unable to be contained, her left boob burst forth frightening the children of German Tourists and also squirrels. People were outraged because of how breasts are obscene, and now ABC has apologized for the nippage that graced the airwaves on the East Coast. I [...]
