Oh well. Few pop earworms ever start out the way you hear them in the end, and the Chainsmokers’ “Closer” is no exception. Months ago, a leaked demo of “Closer” featuring Camila Cabello and not Halsey made the rounds on the internet, prompting many fans to envision what could’ve been. The Chainsmokers confirmed in since-deleted tweets that Cabello was their biggest hit’s original featured singer, but why Halsey replaced her remained a mystery.

It turns out there is a way to judge how much you love a TV show, to calculate how much you really know about said show over other equally-obsessed fans. And no, I’m not talking about Scene-It. I’m referring to Classic Simpsons Trivia Night, held recently at Brooklyn’s Berry Park bar.
Around 15 teams competed in this particular trivia night, with some made up of a single member and others a half-dozen, evenly split between males and females.

When Carey Mulligan first heard of the movie Suffragette, she dismissed it. Speaking with Deadline, she said, “I naïvely had this idea it was tea-drinking ladies chatting, but by page three I was so invested and shocked by all the things that these women did.” She went on to star in the film, which has incited conversations on labels and what “feminism” means in 2015: “I’ve been between America and London [promoting the movie] and I don’t think the definition of feminism is different between the two locations.

Alan Cumming and Bojana Novakovic. Is Alan Cumming’s Dylan Reinhart on Instinct the first openly gay lead character in a CBS crime show? CBS claims he is, and I can’t think of any other counterexamples on that broadcast network, or on ABC or NBC or Fox, venues that reach more U.S. viewers than any cable network or streaming service. The detail jumps out because it’s the hero’s most intriguing characteristic by far.

“You’re not hard-core unless you live hard-core” is a mantra that, in my experience, is most fun to invoke in a situation that’s not particularly hard-core at all.

Everything I’ve ever heard about Channel Zero, I’ve heard from other people on the internet. Perhaps that’s the way it should be. This rich, gorgeous, and astonishingly frightening horror anthology series takes the story lines for each of its four seasons so far from creepypasta — scary short stories in the form of faked message-board posts and comment threads. They’re the online era’s equivalent of urban legends, passed around from one terrified reader to the next.

At this year’s Las Culturistas Culture Awards, a glitzy cross-pop-cultural ceremony hosted by and voted on exclusively by comedians Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang, the Album of the Year competition was stiff: Beyoncé, Taylor, Katy Perry, the Into the Woods 2022 original Broadway recording (we stan) were all up for the top prize. But in a huge upset, the trophy went to — and this was the official wording — “Chappell Roan’s when it comes out.

If there is one good thing to come out of Charlie Sheen’s machete-wielding, rooftop-and-Internet existential crisis, Gary Herring believes it is this: More people will come to know the sublimely refreshing summer pleasure that is Tiger’s Blood. While it may be anathema to much of the country, the American South has actually been slurping Tiger’s Blood, and its delivery device, shave-ice, for decades. Herring knows, because he owns HawaiianShavedIce.com, a North Carolina–based online retailer that sells about a hundred thousand gallons of shave-ice syrup in 85 flavors every year.
