The whole of Vogue's 123-year history has been leading up to this, a behind-the-scenes video feature on the "backstage beauty" of the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show. If I had my druthers, absolutely everything produced by Vogue would be just like this. Same tone, analogous subject matter, similar number of dogs…
On Monday, Jimmy Fallon sat down at his Tonight Show desk and delivered a breathless recap of Sunday's SNL 40 festivities. You've never heard so many names dropped in a single nine-minute interval, but it's entertaining nonetheless. Sample line: "Dave Chappelle goes, 'Come here for a second.' And he goes: 'Dude,…

A little news about menopause: A new study suggests symptoms like hot flashes could last as long as 14 years. At this moment, considering the brutally cold weather seeping through my window panes, that almost sounds like something to look forward to. Almost, but not quite.
The plus-size business is taking off—brands are launching, models are breaking out, and people are finally paying attention. This is part of a series of interviews with players in the industry; let us know if there's anybody you want to hear from!

It's the United Kingdom's first Children's Mental Health Week, and so Kate Middleton sat down and recorded this video encouraging adults to seek help on behalf of kids in their lives and specifically touting the offerings of Place2Be, a charity she and Will support. Is it just me, or is it weird seeing Kate…

Fifty Shades of Grey made a godalmighty fortune this weekend, hoovering up $81.7 million at the box office. That makes it the biggest President's Day weekend opener ever, beating 2010's Valentine's Day.

Watch this video and witness a child acquire a lifelong love of meteorology—or set on a course towards a future as a hype woman. One or the other.
The Breakfast Club turns 30 this year. (Pause for obligatory "I'M OLD" grousing.) Variety reports that to mark the anniversary, several theaters around the country will host screenings of a restored version for two days in late March. Be prepared to battle surly teens whom surely nobody understands for seats.
Hell yes: The trailer for Guillermo del Toro's gothic horror Crimson Peak is here. Shower me in creepy vibes and stifling neckwear and roiling Victorian sexual tension!!!!

For decades, romance was a tried-and-true avenue for talented, creative women to bring in some extra money. (Or, in some cases, a fucking fortune.) But the business has changed, with the proliferation of digital publishers and self-publishing options. How's one author handling it?
I hope they claim they named her after the masterful prose of the King James Bible and the world implodes into a black hole

Back in September, the 260-year-old Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews decided it would finally admit women.
