Oh, for goodness sake. In the most recent KUWTK episode, Kendall Jenner said she felt ‘really bad’ for the fuss that was kicked up around the infamous Pepsi ad.

Given the state of Puerto Rico and other presidential duties, it makes sense for the POTUS to want to get away from it all for a bit. For the 17th time since he was inducted into office. Trump was criticised by Puerto Rican authorities when he visited his New Jersey Golf course this weekend. He […]

Whether he says the words or not, Bill Gates now uses an Android-powered phone, basically admitting the Windows phone probably isn’t very good. Microsoft’s Windows-powered phones had a rather minimal impact on the smartphone market, given its weird interface, lack of apps and awful camera. The current smartphone market is basically dominated by Google’s Android […]

Some may find the images in this article uncomfortable, for this we apologise. A gunman has killed 50 people in Las Vegas, during an open-air music festival.

Yet another case of someone who really didn’t get it. James Cameron recently compared Gal Gadot’s performance of Wonder Woman to an ‘objectified icon’, stating that she wasn’t complicated. Patty Jenkins stated that: pic.twitter.com/8zkJXHLCJW — Patty Jenkins (@PattyJenks) August 25, 2017 She would be right in her opinions too. Not every woman has to be […]

You ever get the sense that ratings for a show aren’t doing so well? But then something magical happens that could potentially boost your viewership by 10000%.

Anyone here remember turkey Twizzlers? Those weirdly amazingly tasting, yet horribly unhealthy processed meat swirls? I miss those.

That’s a long time to spend around so many attractive women. Many people have differing opinions about the man, who founded the Playboy Mansion and the magazine. His last tweets were about Hurricane Irma and the effect it’s had on the country. My thoughts are with everyone affected by Hurricanes Harvey & Irma, both the […]

We haven’t touched on this simply due to the chaos behind the original story but we’ll keep it brief. Basically Warner Bros. Interactive are the worst.

Okay, this is a mood though. NASCAR owners have said that anyone caught kneeling during the national anthem will be fired. Surprising literally no one.

Twitter users were obviously […]

A therapist from Bath Spa University is ‘astonished’ by a university’s decision to stop his research into why people choose to reverse gender reassignment operations.

With the newest iPhone being unveiled people are already asking whether to get it or not. Well, I’m here to say no.

The fact that two world leaders are mere insults away from ‘yo momma’ jokes is unsurprising, to say the least. We aren’t sure if this is a bad thing or a good thing. In case you didn’t watch Trump’s speech at the UN the other, we’d suggest reading this article by yours truly, to really […]

Yes, John Bernthal’s The Punisher meets Metallica in the first trailer for the upcoming Netflix series. It features some (almost) musical gun sounds and a heck load of shooting.

After what seems like weeks of attacks all around Europe, it makes sense that the UK’s police force would double down on counter-terrorism.
