Lena Dunham Agrees That Shitty Sushi Is “Cultural Appropriation”
Lena Dunham is driving the OUTRAGE train like no this week. First, when Girls producers Tami Sagher posted on Instagram about how New Yorkers should rip the guns from the Jason Bourne posters in the subway, Lena shared that post and added, “Good idea… Let’s go!” And now Lena (seen above appropriating the female dog culture by wearing a “bitches” sweatshirt) has let everyone know that she too thinks that crap sushi is highly offensive to the Japanese culture. Lena Dunham just has to rant about how “dressing like animals for Halloween is offensive and belittling to animals” and she’d officially become a Portlandia sketch in human form.
Wilmer Valderrama And Demi Lovato Might Be Back Together
A little over a month ago, 23-year-old semi-professional social media shit-starter Demi Lovato and 36-year-old Wilmer Valderrama took their six-year relationship out back and tossed it into the dumpster. It looks like they might have had second thoughts about not being together. Just like the time I realized I really really wanted to eat that Snickers bar after all and dug it out of the trash (it was still pretty much wrapped, okay?), Wilmer and Demi apparently had regrets about that whole breaking-up thing. At least according to Hollywood Life they did.
A source tells Hollywood Life, which Justin Bieber will be heartbroken to learn is still up and running, that Demi and Wilmer are giving each other a second chance. The source adds that they did actually break up last month, but they’re back together and “dating again.” The source also goes on to describe it as another “Jelena situation.” As in, like the many times Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez got back together.
Neither Demi nor Wilmer have said anything about getting back together. As of last week, Wilmer was claiming he was “very good” after splitting with Demi. Yesterday, Demi said in a radio interview that she felt “free.” So this source could be full of crap. Personally, I’m skeptical that they’re back together. Confirmation for me will be when I wake up one morning and read the news that Demi swung by her second home (Twitter) and tweeted a late-night rant about soulmates and second chances and “the haters.” Then, and only then, will I believe they’re back together.
Here’s a maybe-single/maybe not Demi leaving Z100 in New York City earlier today. If only pictures had smell-o-vision, we might be able to tell if she’s doing Wilmer again. Sadly, my nose isn’t picking up any traces of sleazeball or Old Spice.

Gretchen Carlson Is Talking About Those Allegations Against Roger Ailes
When Gretchen Carlson filed a sexual harassment lawsuit against Fox News chairman Roger Ailes one week ago, she didn’t have much to say about it. Her lawyer, Nancy Erika Smith, did most of the talking. Not that she had to, of course; there was enough grossness in that lawsuit to get all the attention it needed on its own.
Since then, lots of people have had things to say about Gretchen’s lawsuit. Several women have come forward with their own accusations against Roger Ailes. Some people at Fox News have come to Roger’s defense, the most recent being talking blonde headache Elisabeth Hasselbeck, and Geraldo Rivera, who described Roger as “about as flirty as the grizzly in The Revenant.” And then there’s Roger Ailes himself, who denies it all. Well, one week later, Gretchen is finally talking publicly about her lawsuit against the lumpy sack of inappropriate horniness.
Natalie Morales Denies That She’s Running Off To L.A. Because Of Matt Lauer’s Peen
Because there’s a part of me that’s a retired grandma named Nana Jean who still subscribes to Reader’s Digest and drinks her morning Sanka with a nip of Bailey’s, I watch every hour of Today every single weekday. Natalie Morales has been my favorite for a while and she’s one of the few on there who doesn’t either make me fall asleep or roll my eyes out of their sockets. So I was not amused when I learned that Natalie and Alfred E. Neuman’s insufferable brother Billy Bush are switching gigs. Natalie has moved to California to takeover Access Hollywood and Billy Bush has moved to NYC to join Today. After I did the wall slide of sadness over the news, I did wonder if the rumors about Matt Lauer and Natalie had something to do with it. Apparently, people at NBC wondered the same thing.
This DRAMA Is What You Came For
And I don’t mean “came” like that. Or maybe I do. I don’t know what kind of weird kink you’re into.
“This Is What You Came For” peaked at #4 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the US and reached the top 10 in many, many other countries. It’s become one of Calvin Harris’ biggest hits, if not his biggest. That song has approximately 3 lyrics total (including all those OooooOooooohs) and those lyrics were written by evil cornhusk doll Taylor Swift. TMZ first burped up the news this morning, and Taylor’s rep later told People that it’s 100% true. TMZ’s source (hi, Olivia Benson!) said that the song is ultimately what broke up the giraffe love between Taylor and Calvin. And Calvin had a lot to say about that and even dragged Taylor’s forever nemesis Katy Perry into it. I love it when us losers and loners get to gather around the green circle table in the corner of the junior high school cafeteria and watch as the popular kids publicly tear each other apart. It’s better than square pizza Fridays.
One Of The Tenors Is In Trouble After He Changed The Lyrics To The Canadian National Anthem
Many people mess up the words to national anthems all the time. Usually the mess ups are the result of the singer forgetting the lyrics, or not being able to hit that high note on “freeeee” at the end of “The Star-Spangled Banner.” But yesterday, a member of the Canadian group The Tenors messed up the Canadian national anthem on purpose, and not surprisingly, its gotten him in maple-scented trouble.
According to UsWeekly, it happened at the MLB All-Star Game in San Diego yesterday. The Tenors – aka the group I’m sure some of you have caught your mom listening to in the dark with a glass of wine – were chosen to sing the Canadian national anthem, “O Canada.” Rather than sing it as it was written, Tenor Remigio Pereira decided to add his own personal spin by singing some re-written lyrics with an #AllLivesMatter message. He really thought that would be a good idea.
