Shania Twain Is Still The One

Since the “That Don’t Impress Me Much” singer recovered from open-throat surgery in 2019, Twain says her voice has been feeling “way stronger” even if she’s accepted that it’s undergone some changes.

Hailey Bieber Cleared Up The Fuzzy Timeline Of Her And Justin’s Relationship

Remember when Justin and Hailey walked the Met Gala red carpet to the tunes of “fans” chanting “Selena”?

(Half of them probably also have skin care lines, IDK.) But, as we learned from Deuxmoi’s iconic ranking of celebrity wines from last year, a pretty bottle and slick marketing does not a good beverage make. Here are the celeb liquors that go down easy… and the ones that more closely resemble bathtub gin (sorry, Kate). Read More

What Is A “Hot Girl Book” & Why Is Everyone Talking About Them?

These days, everything from having IBS to eating a pierogi qualifies as “hot girl sh*t,” but the OG hot girl activity? Reading. And the OG hot girl? Marilyn Monroe. There are several iconic (and hot) photos of her engrossed in a book — perhaps most famously, James Joyce’s Ulysses. OK, so we have this time-honored tradition of reading being sexy, but still, what is it that makes a book hot or not? Read More
