DN: If The Reid Boys Went To Libraries More Often Instead Of Living In The Carb-Cult Of NFL Royalty, Maybe They Wouldn’t Be Mormon Pill-Popping [...]

You know, we rag a lot on The Youngs on Philebrity — for their wild senses of entitlement, for their strange belief that all knowledge can be instantly gotten (and forgotten) on the Internet, for their bizarrely overprogrammed anti-childhoods that left them with no time whatsoever to just be kids, and so on — but [...]

Hi boys and girls! Did you know that when you give money to your favorite candidates, it’s not like voting, which is secret (mostly)? We can totally find out who you gave it too. Opensecrets.org is our favorite resource, as they have a good search function. And if you want to find out who in [...]

So the sign out front says L&I put the kibosh on much-loved gay dive The Westbury for some fire and electrical incompetencies, but here’s the dish: The Hotel Parker is our last bastion of Old School High-Rise Brothel and totally has hourly rates. It also happens to be next door to AARP Gay Haunt, The [...]

We have, of course, pretty much gotten to the end of the reality TV rainbow. Since The Real World ushered in the age back in the early 1990s, we’ve seen pretty much every combination and situation explored in the reality television setting, which has not only grown less and less real, but also left us [...]

Race traitor/inventor of “The Sixth Borough” Jessica Pressler and, unfortunately, Jamie from Summer Heights High. For the record, we did not come up with this on our own. A reader helped. But we’ll take the blame.
