America has had plenty of prolific families, but very few have an influence as potent and enduring as the Kardashians. Since the debut of their hit E! series Keeping Up With the Kardashians in 2007, the Kar-Jenner family—Kris, Kim, Kourtney, Khloe, Rob, Kendall, Kylie, Caitlyn—have unofficially become the faces of pop culture, social media, controversy, etc. There's a reason they say the devil works hard, but Kris Jenner works harder. Over the last 14 years of sharing their lives with the public on E!, fans have watched Kim Kardashian evolve...

It’s been more than 10 years since In the Heights first premiered on Broadway, bringing a new kind of musical to The Great White Way—a rap-filled story of a modern-day Latinx community, with characters that felt like people you’d pass on any New York City block. But the show was groundbreaking in more ways than one; it introduced the theater world to Lin-Manuel Miranda, the show’s creator, who’d go on to have even greater success with his musical juggernaut Hamilton. Now, after years of waiting, the film adaptation of In...

I remember the first time I saw a white woman in a bodega above 125th street. It happened during the summer of 2013, when I was couch-crashing at a sorority sister’s apartment. The encounter, while memorable, did not end with me reciting Maya Angelou poetry, like Run the World’s Renee (Bresha Webb) in the series premiere. Frustrated with a stranger’s disregard for her personal space while waiting for her bacon-egg-and-cheese, Renee complains to her friend, Ella (Andrea Bordeaux), that she is being “invisible woman-ed.” The phrase is a play on...

There’s no shortage of tyrannical—yet nuanced—villains in The Handmaid’s Tale, from Bradley Whitford’s Commander Joseph Lawrence to Yvonne Strahovski’s Serena Joy. But Ann Dowd’s Aunt Lydia, whose ironclad grip on power in Gilead seems to be weakening this season, is perhaps the most unsettling character to watch. She’s capable of horrific and unspeakable levels of cruelty, has devoted herself wholeheartedly to enforcing the systematic rape of hundreds of women, and has no qualms about mutilating and torturing those who cross her. But she’s also capable of genuine affection, and seems...

In February, Aaron Rodgers announced—seemingly out of nowhere—his engagement to actress Shailene Woodley. During the 10th annual CBS "NFL Honors" show on February 6, the Green Bay Packers quarterback didn't even mention his "fiancée" by name. He simply said:"2020 was definitely a crazy year, filled with lots of change, growth, some amazing memorable moments, 180 straight days of having my nose hairs scraped, playing for very little fans," Rodgers said. "I got engaged and I played some of the best football of my career."By then, fans already knew that Rodgers...
