Welcome back to Barf Bag. One week ago, we learned that South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem (R) wrote in her own book that she shot and killed a 14-month-old puppy meant to be a hunting dog because it was "untrainable" and tried to bite her. I regret to inform you that there's more Noem Nonsense to report, including potential fabrications in said book about other lawmakers. But first: #PuppyGate Updates. (Yes, another #PuppyGate.) Noem has been doubling and tripling down on why she had to drag the young... Читать дальше...
Since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, a rash of abortion bans across the country has both devastated the health care system and become a tool for abusive partners. In the two years since Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health, there have been several cases of men attempting to wield abortion laws to take legal action against ex-partners who had or allegedly had abortions. “This is all the inevitable outcome of Roe being overturned—IVF threats, wrongful death suits, women being punished, all of it,” Molly Duane...

Two days ago, Gypsy Rose Blanchard hopped off the plane at LAX with a dream and a brand-new nose. Just kidding. She's just taking a holiday in Hollywood (she does have a new nose though). So far, she's been to the beach and strolled down the Walk of Fame. I know all of this because I can't seem to look away from the goings-on of her life—from her divorce to her latest boyfriend. Now, just when I thought my girl Gyp Gyp had done it all in Tinseltown, she upped the ante. How so, you might wonder? Well, she went to SUR. Читать дальше...
Beverly Hills City Hall. Photo: Wikimedia In June 2022, after Roe v. Wade was overturned, Beverly Hills lit its city hall pink. California Governor Gavin Newsom (D) has long spoken of his desire to make California a safe-haven for abortion seekers and has signed bills to protect the legal rights of both patients and providers. In April, when the Arizona Supreme Court upheld an 1864 abortion ban, Newsom said he supported legislation to allow Arizona abortion providers to treat their patients in the Golden State.

Actress Robinne Lee spent two decades doing what every actress does…auditioning and existing at the mercy of producers and directors. Lee got a lot of roles, meaning she was mostly a working actress instead of the more common category of unemployed actress, and her acting career encompasses everything from Deliver Us from Eva (2003) to a standout recurring character in the series Being Mary Jane (2014), and arguably one of the only sane characters in the 50 Shades of Grey movie sequels. But, like many actresses aging towards 40... Читать дальше...
Is cancer funny? Veteran comedy fans will recognize this question, most likely from Tig Notaro’s 2012 set Live, where she walks onstage and introduces herself with: “Hello. Good evening, hello. I have cancer.” She’d been diagnosed with breast cancer four days prior, after a year of additional health struggles and personal tragedies. She had no plans to release that set as a special, but the owner of the Largo happened to record it. The Guardian called it “jaw-dropping,” Slate called it “instantly... Читать дальше...
Well, it's looking like Bravo's most beloved couple (for a time, at least) really might be no longer. On Thursday, Real Housewife of Beverly Hills, Kyle Richards finally removed her married name from her Instagram bio nearly one year after she announced her separation from her husband of 27 years, Mauricio Umansky. It's true. What once read "Kyle Richards Umansky" is now just..."Kyle Richards." Frankly, the deletion feels like a long time coming given the reality star couple has made content of their...
