Finer Feed: Bueller is back, MacLaine goes ‘Downton’, Farmiga as Mac’s McVie

Madonna gives us a taste of her ‘M.D.N.A.’
Do you smell that? It’s the smell of dead hydrangeas, homemade macrobiotic meals, vintage lace and an unopened copy of the book Sex. It’s Madonna. And her onslaught is nigh. Madge is prepping to steal the show at the Super Bowl XLVI half-time show, her film W.E. is elbowing its way to a theater near...
Workout Song of the Week: ‘Ray Charles’ by Chiddy Bang
This song makes me so happy. And the video makes me even happier (bonus points if you know his classic video homages). Plus, the name Chiddy Bang is so cool. If more rap songs like “Ray Charles” existed, everyone would be wearing their halos at a jaunty tilt and soul-struttin’ on sunshine.
Workout Song of the Week: ‘Sleazy Remix 2.0: Get Sleazier’ by Ke$ha
I can always rely on Ke$ha to give me glam-skanky music that reeks of stale beer, dime store body glitter, and rancid club sweat. Her track, “Sleazy Remix 2.0: Get Sleazier” features a roster of hip-hop stars that include Lil Wayne, Wiz Khalifa, T.I., and the dandy Andre 3000. The industrial tribal drums and stomp...
Workout Song of the Week: ‘Ain’t Nobody’ by Chaka Khan
“Ain’t Nobody” by Chaka Khan (and Rufus!) is one of those keytar songs that was diva growlin’ long before Beyonce was puttin’ a ring on it. Filled with sumptuous synths, the song wears a leather Michael Jackson “Thriller” jacket and a jheri curl held together by an rad head band — which is why I...
Downton Abbeyoncé: The Best Tumblr Created in 2012 (So Far)
What do you get when you take the most talked about sudsy high-brow, class-driven show with the most talked about “Bootylicious” baby mama of the moment?

It’s that time of the week again — it’s time to check out news that I have skillfully plucked from my Facebook and Twitter feed. Enjoy. Mad Men. March 25. I’ll be there like a pocket square. [Vulture] Beyonce gives birth to Blue Ivy, the rest of the world rejoices while B ruins the lives...
Workout Song of the Week: ‘Since You Been Gahan (Kelly Clarkson x Depeche Mode)’ by DJ Earworm
I am continuing my obsession with DJ Earworm by adding some more (if not all) of his mashups on to my iPod shuffle for my daily workout repertoire. Last week it was his uber-mix of “boomin’” 2011 pop hits. This week it is the ’90s club savvy mashup of the good ol’ pop rockin’ “Since...

Kirsten Dunst and Jim Sturgess go ‘Upside Down’
Based on the trailer for Upside Down, Melancholia darling Kirsten Dunst is filling her dramatic sci-fi genre punchcard, while Jum Sturgess seems to love characters who get involved in complicated relationships (remember him in that gag-worthy romantic drama where he fell in love with Anne Hathaway and her English accent?). Fusing together the cinematic trend...
Workout Song of the Week: ‘United States of Pop 2011 (World Go Boom)’ by DJ Earworm
Last week, I mentioned this cut-and-paste track by DJ Earworm, but it definitely deserves a second mention because it has found a new home on my iPod. Listening to the five minute megamix that features 2011′s pop-laden songs makes me relive last year over and over again…and it makes me come to the realization that...
