For a show that features extraordinarily handsome cis gay men who do elaborate makeovers, Queer Eye has generated a shockingly low level of controversy. 

Still, exceptions exist. Some critics took issue with this show’s handling of its first ever trans client, Skyler Jay. In a new interview with them., Jay defended the Fab Five and explained why the episode took the direction it did.

Specifically, Jay defended his interactions with Tan France, who admitted he hadn’t really interacted with an trans person before. 

Jay explained to France that he may not have interacted with an openly trans person before — but they were so many of them out there. Read more…

Welcome to Chris-mas in July, a week-long celebration of our four favorite Hollywood Chrises. We’ll be analyzing old movies, digging deep into past roles, and exploring everything there is to know about Evans, Hemsworth, Pine and Pratt. We hope this totally made up holiday makes you smile.

Obviously she can’t actually stop climate change, bring back your favorite World Cup team, or right all of the wrongs on Capitol Hill — but this video of her might distract you enough to actually bring a smile to your face. Read more…

Oprah is so humble it took her until 2018 to Google herself.

For comparison, I first “Googled” myself with WebCrawler in 1997.

Either way, it’s disarming. Oprah revealed the results of her very first Google in an interview with British Vogue this week.

“I am so impressed with myself,” Oprah told Vogue editor Edward Enninful.

“This is what I didn’t know: that I was the first African-American self-made billionaire. Did not know that!” Oprah revealed. 

The mogul also disclosed that she didn’t know that she “donated more to charity in the 20th century than any other African-American.” Read more…
