I wish there were a way to loosen the death-grip that Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard have on my heart, because I do not appreciate being helpless to the whims of complete strangers, just because they happen to be outwardly adorable. But I cannot help it. THEY JUST LIKE EACH OTHER SO MUCH. And, anyway, apparently they…

Apparently rich people only like living in economically diverse areas just for kicks — that is, until they start having kids. A recent analysis of census data indicates that the wealthy are twice as likely to relocate to more affluent neighborhoods than they were in the 70s, largely owing to their budding silver…
This fake PSA campaign by Aussie film company Spaceboy Productions asks the viewer to consider the consequences of abstaining from unprotected sex. Because having responsible childless intercourse or refraining from it completely is basically murdering children that don't exist, but could. It's murdering the future. …
Last night, the CW premiered Reign, which — originally titled Gossip Girl: Old Timey France — follows a teenage Mary Queen of Scots as she is moved from a quiet convent in the country and thrown into the sexy and devious world of 16th century French court.

TGIF! Congrats on making it through yet another week.

That couple who got more than a little frisky

Bet you didn't have this marked on your calendar: today is World Vasectomy Day, a holiday celebrated not with parades or fireworks, but with the delicate snip of two tiny tubes. But is such a largely permanent step really our only male birth control option? Where's the male version of the pill?
Carrie is a movie that already exists, starring John Travolta, a pig, tampons, and Sissy Spacek's rolling horse eyes. Based on Stephen King's 1974 novel, it's quite good—smartly reframing the horrible, bloody confusion of womanhood and the hell of high school as the villain and backdrop of a literal horror movie. For $ome my$teriou$ rea$$$on$, MGM has decided to remake Carrie, adding a few tres modern details like, "Film it with your phone, for bullying purposes!" and casting regulation hottie Chloe Grace Moretz in the title role instead of actual feral prairie ghost Sissy Spacek.
If there's one thing we've learned from this whole #StarbucksDrakeHands
"Master of the contemporary short story" and now Nobel laureate Alice Munro will not be traveling to Stockholm to collect her literature prize due to unspecified poor health. It has yet to be announced who will collect the 82 year-old author's prize on her behalf, but we're hoping Munro is on her feet sooner rather…
Rapping. The woman who wrote "Jolene," "I Will Always Love You," several dead-baby jams in the early part of her career, and the rhythm of "9 to 5" on her nails, is turning a new musical corner and rapping. In a white afro. On the talk show of a woman who was once among the greatest rappers of her time.
For a lot of us, the weather is changing and those go-to summer outfits just don't cut it anymore. Ritual autumnal back-to-school shopping still has a mighty pull, even if you're no longer a student.
A recent study in the journal Social Psychological and Personality Science examines the motivations that women have for buying into paternalistic garbage stereotypes about women. Specifically, researchers at the University of Auckland have elucidated a connection between a feeling of entitlement in women and…
As you may have heard, in just 4 days we'll be publishing our first book, a 300-page, hardcover, illustrated encyclopedia called The Book of Jezebel.

There will always be people out there picking weird names for their kids
In the persisting mystery of why we sleep, scientists at the University of Rochester have a new theory — we sleep to give our brains time to clean out our literal brain garbage.

Pakistani 16-year-old Malala Yousafzai presented Queen Elizabeth with her book today.
Years ago, I went out with this guy who only knew how to make baked chicken breasts and macaroni and cheese. He didn't know how to do his own laundry and once offered to pay me $15 to sew a button back on his peacoat. Whenever anything broke in his apartment, he threw it away and bought a new thing. He couldn't change his oil, or a tire, or iron his shirts. He couldn't do much of anything without involving the service industry, and if society had ended when we were dating, he'd have been a terrible post-apocalyptic ally, among the first to be eaten by a roving tribe of early adopting cannibals. He was a kidult, a sadly typical state of prairie skill dearth currently occupied by twenty and thirtysomethings who were never taught basic Existing Self Sufficiently stuff. And it's high time for the Age of the Kidult to end.
Whether it's the Affordable Care Act
Former Alaska governor and current ??? Sarah Palin, who has a rare condition that renders her incapable of improvement, appeared on Megyn Kelly's show on Fox News yesterday. And it was... even more of a shitshow than most Sarah Palin appearances. Even Megyn Kelly — tough, no-nonsense host Megyn Kelly — had trouble…
