You know you made a good point when Meryl Streep gives you a “Hell Yeah” from the audience at the Oscars. Patricia Arquette used her very short stage time to address wage equality for women everywhere, which adds to a larger #askhermore movement that encourages reporters to ask women more challenging questions on the red carpet. While I love fluffy fashion questions, it would also be nice to dive deeper into the actual movies these actors are there to promote. Watch Patricia’s speech below.
Lady Gaga Wins the #OSCARS: Watch Now
Lady Gaga graced the stage of the 2015 Oscars, and she stole the show. With an unforgettable tribute to the Sound of Music, Gaga showed her vocal prowess in a way the audience has never seen. Though her talent has never been questioned, her avant-garde antics have made it difficult to hold her in high esteem. Last night’s performance changed everything. And the internet agrees. Watch below as she performs a medley of iconic tunes from The Sound of Music.
Jack White Releases “That Black Bat Licorice” Video — HOLY SH*T!
When I first watched the new Jack White video I thought it was a visual masterpiece. I then realized that by hitting button B or 3 on my keyboard, I would get the privilege of entirely different content, thereby almost editing it myself. This forced me to listen multiple more times, which I can only assume is what his team of wizards intended. The man is an unequivocal genius. Watch “That Black Bat Licorice” below, and hit button B or 3 at your leisure.
Alison Williams Addresses Brian Williams Scandal: “He’s an Honest Man”
Alison Williams is astoundingly classy, and she confirmed her poise under pressure when Seth Meyers asked her about her dad’s scandal. The ‘Girls’ star told the 92Y audience about how Brian Williams is coping, and she was quick to explain her faith in her father, saying, He’s a really good man. He’s an honest man. He’s a truthful man. He has so much integrity. He cares so much about journalism. And yes, he’s a really good dad. I know you can trust him because, as any good daughter does, I’ve tested him on that.” Watch below.
Norm Macdonald Happy Eddie Murphy Nixed Bill Cosby Sketch
Saturday Night Live’s 40th Anniversary generated some very positive buzz, but the one standout fail was Eddie Murphy’s appearance, which was more about lauding than laughter. For a man that once commanded the room, it’s unfortunate that he’s now seemingly against all things funny. Norm Macdonald has now shed some light on his stale appearance, explaining that the original intention was a Bill Cosby sketch, and that Murphy made the last minute decision to nix it because, “he doesn’t want to kick a man while he’s down.” While it’s not fair to let MacDonald speak for Murphy, one things for certain. Bill Cosby might have raped a bunch of women, so maybe he deserves a few kicks. That being said, perhaps rape isn’t funny enough to grace the SNL stage. Watch Murphy’s sub-par, brief appearance on the anniversary stage.

Selena Gomez Poses Topless for V Magazine — Looks Underage
Does anyone find pictures of underage children disturbing? If so, turn a blind eye to Selena Gomez’s new V Magazine cover, since it’s obvious intent is to make her look like a child — which is gross. With bubble-gum colors, a bow in her hair, and cutesy curls, the purpose is clear. And let’s not mention that Woody Allen quote, “The Heart Wants What it Wants,” which was said in reference to his controversial relationship Soon Yi Previn.
Cindy Crawford’s Unretouched Photo Hits the Internet: World Reacts
An unretouched photo of supermodel Cindy Crawford from a 2013 Marie Claire shoot is circling the internet, and while many are applauding the imperfect image, I’m outraged. First, Crawford didn’t sign off on its release. Second, the emphatic ploy for celebrities to produce “real” images is ridiculous, especially because everyday civilians don’t subscribe to the same philosophy. Would you post an unflattering photo on facebook that exposes your flaws? Or do you take as many as pictures possible until achieving the perfect, skinniest angle? Last, if I were to pose for a worldwide magazine, I’d expect the best photo to be featured. To allow the leak of a less than flattering photo is to breach trust, and as a supermodel, I expect Cindy Crawford isn’t pleased.
