By David T. Valentin Image taken from Instagram Although quarantine has led to so many divorces over the recent months, we weren’t expecting some people to give their relationships a second chance like Jason Momoa and Lisa Bonet. Just last month on January 13th the couple announced their divorce in a joint statement, making it very clear their marriage was at an end. “We have all felt the squeeze and changes of these transformational times... A revolution is unfolding – and o

By Lori Perkins Image Taken From Instagram @Richlit To show support for Ukrainian independence in the war currently being raged by Russian troops, monuments throughout the world were lit up with the colors of the Ukrainian flag from Paris to New York. Last night the Empire State Building in New York City was crowned with blue and gold, as was New York City’s Kosciuszko and Mid-Hudson bridges, and as well other structures throughout State.

By Lori Perkins As we wake each morning to war news from Eastern Europe, Twitter has been abuzz with the “controversy” of whether or not romance novels, and books in general, are well-served emblazed with the images of shirtless men. I think we can all state that we are grateful for thus distraction. The memes and Tweets were delightful, but my favorite was the one of Jonathan Franzen’s literary novel The Corrections with it’s new cover of a shirtless torso. Much improved!

Valentin Image Taken from Millie Bobby Brown's Instagram While we were all excited for Millie Bobby Brown’s 18th birthday and what comes next for the actress with her career, we can’t ignore the creepiness lurking on the internet and the long history of child actor’s being taken advantage of and objectified. Just a week or so before the Stranger Things actresses’ birthday, redditors found an NSFW (Not Safe for Work) subreddit counting down until Millie Bobby Brown

By Elizabeth K. Mahon In December, HBOMax gave Sex and the City fans an early Christmas present, a reboot of Sex and the City. And just like that, the show was part of the national conversation again as fans chatted online about Samantha’s absence and whether the reboot lived up to the original's reputation. Since the show ended its original run, new fans have discovered the series on DVD and through repeats on E! Network. The Carrie Diaries, a prequel based on the YA novels

By Lori Perkins In just four days of bidding, Romaneclandia raised over $200,000 in an auction whose proceeds will be donated to Stacey Abrams' organization, Fair Fight, and “to support the right of every person for safe and easy access to fair voting.” Last year, some of the biggest names in romance came together to create a fundraiser to help Stacey Abrams (a romance writer herself) get the vote out for the Georgia run-off, raising $500,000 in Romancing the Run-off.

By Lori Perkins George Washington married the wealthy widow Martha Custis on January 6, 1759, which was Twelfth Night that year, a holiday that was still celebrated by many at that time. The wedding was held at White House, the Kent, Virginia property that Martha’s husband had owned. Martha was only 25 when her much older husband died, but she was already the mother of two, and the owner of 300 slaves and 17,500 acres of land. Because her first husband had died without a will

By David T. Valentin It’s been a week since Wordle has passed into the hands of The New York Times and let’s just say... people are not happy. Last month, Josh Wardle sold Wordle for $1 million to the New York Time, the perfect time to sell the game given the big hype over the mobile game. When Josh wordle sold to The New York Times he wrote a statement saying, “I’ve long admired the NYT’s approach to their games and the respect with which they treat their players. Their valu

Valentin Look out, world, The Simpsons’ character, Waylon Smithers makes history by appearing on the cover of Attitude magazine, where he and his boyfriend share a photo al la Lady and The Tramp style, a spaghetti caught between their mouths joining them together. The fictional character came out back in November of last year (specifically season 33, episode 8). In the episode, “Portrait of a Lackey on Fire.” Waylon gets his shot of love with Michael De Graaf, a f

By David T. Valentin Kanye West has made the headlines these past few days after erratic, jealous behavior towards ex-wife Kim Kardashian and her new boyfriend, comedian Pete Davidson. The rapper and R&B hip hop artist has taken strange actions in trying to not only maintain a relationship with his children, but to try and win Kim back even after she filed for divorce last year in January. Not only did he buy a $4.5 million dollar home across from Kim’s, he’s made comments ab

By Lori Perkins I love a good (and sometimes even a bad) romcom, but there’s something not right for me about watching romcoms on Valentine’s Day, so I saved up viewing Marry Me!, I Want You Back and Love and Leashes (yes, this IS a romcom), until the days after. I think I enjoyed them more than if I had seen them before or on Valentine’s Day because it’s sort of like and after-Valentine’s-Day sale. The one that made me teary was Marry Me!, the Jennifer Lopez/Owen Wilson veh

By Lori Perkins (Image credit: Getty) Just in time for Valentine’s Day, it was announced that the golden couple of New Jersey Senator Cory Booker and actress Rosario Dawson had ended their more than two-year relationship. I had been hoping for a big post-pandemic Hollywood/New Jersey wedding, but some dreams remain dreams. The couple met at a political fundraiser and shared their story of Booker reading to Dawson (which I loved!!!!) and coupling up during lockdown. Dawson so

By Lori Perkins Look, I love getting flowers, candy and jewelry from my beloved, but truth be told, over the years some of my various partners’ taste has left a little to be desired. I mean, who really wants a Whitman’s sampler in a heart shaped box? I also LOVE a deal, so as soon as the stores in my neighborhood open, you can find me (often with my own bouquet of coupons) sorting through the 50% off section (sometimes even 75% off). Nothing says I love myself like heart-sh

By David T. Valentin With reproductive rights under threat in many states across the United States, Vermont moves forward to secure reproductive rights to ensure women have the right to abort if need be. The Reproductive Liberty Amendment, also known as Proposition 5, seeks to pass preserving the right to abortion into law, thus codifying the right to abortion in Vermont’s Constitution.
