Melissa McCarthy is a Tractor-Sized Hippo says Critic
I never pay attention to a film critic’s review of a movie. I see a movie if it looks good based on the trailer like most people. Unfortunately, the review for Identity Thief starring Mike and Molly star Melissa McCarthy got my attention for all the wrong reasons. Rex Reed, film critic for the observer, rips the film apart calling it a way to lose brain cells. That’s not where Reed stops though, he goes on to attack McCarthy’s physical appearance and career. Reed goes on to say that the…

Former Packers cheerleader takes on Facebook cyberbullying

That’s why I’m so glad that we have strong people like Kaitlyn Collins, former Green…
Recovering Anorexic Asks Frat Bros to Stop Wearing “Please Don’t Feed the Sorority Girls” T-Shirts
TRIGGER WARNING: SOME INFORMATION AND VIEWS PORTRAYED IN THIS ARTICLE MAY BE DISTURBING FOR SOME This Jezebel article, written by Katie J.M. Baker, really disturbed me – for many reasons. Not only is it the “Don’t feed the sorority girls” completely insulting, damaging and misogynistic to women, but American University’s response (or quite frankly, lack of) is disappointing. The fact that this shirt was even creative is depressing, but its continued use is even worse. This is really infuriating and I feel horrible for Kendra Lee, a recovering anorexic, whose…
Pink was told she wasn’t Pretty Enough
In the current issue of Redbook Magazine, Pink opens up about being told she wasn’t pretty enough for the industry and what makes her feel beautiful. I really admire Pink for her openness on everything, especially things that would make some people uncomfortable to talk about. I think Pink’s attitude towards the negativity she has received is inspiring. Although, from the sound of the article it doesn’t sound like Pink thinks she is beautiful, which is just terrible. She talks about the things that make her feel beautiful and about…
