Then Robert Pattinson wrote and starred in a short film about how he really, really just need to get a hot dog at that very moment. Now Angelina Jolie is on the hot dog trend. According to the gossips, Jolie was spotted with her two daughters Shiloh and Vivienne at an L.A.-area Target apparently to grab a hot dog from the store’s cafe. Though, apparently Jolie has not been in a Target café since they were rebranded with “artisanal”-style food in 2015 and no longer carry hot dogs. “The kids were disappointed, so they all left,” reported Page Six. If this wasn’t enough, The Real Housewives of Dallas which, yes, exists featured a fight this week between cast members while one was dressed in a hot dog costume. “I know she’s dressed like a weiner, but she’s acting like a dick,” says one talking head about ostensible star LeeAnne Locken. This a lot of sausage news, and, to quote Legally Blonde, “make me want a hot dog real bad.” And it’s not even the Fourth of July. | | | | | | | | | Founded in the ‘50s by Norman Mailer and other writers, the Village Voice was an icon of alternative journalism and the template for all other alt-weeklies across the country. Now, after six decades of publishing every week, the paper is going online-only. What exactly that means remains to be seen, but as the Poynter Institute puts it, it’s a “symbolic blow” for local journalism. In addition to comprehensive cultural coverage and providing a launching point for numerous influential writers and journalists, the Voice also excelled in covering the types of important stories other wouldn’t or were too complacent to notice. While Twitter is full of calls to subscribe to The New York Times and Washington Post in the Trump era, increasingly the real journalism crisis is the crumbling state of local media. What’s the solution? Who knows. Mic.com, the millennial news website which “pivoted to video,” last week didn’t have it. Laid off writers dished to The Outline, and said management had already turned the site into little more than an outrage-manipulating clickbait factory anyway all the while not holding on to the types of social justice values the site purported to hold. Oh, all of this on the one year anniversary of Gawker’s final post. All in all, a very weird, sad day in media news. | | | | | | | | | While it’s October that is the designated month of spook, it’s September that promises to bring us two of the most anticipated horror events of the year (beyond the daily horrors from the Trump administration, that is.) Yet, both remain shrouded in mystery even if they’re only weeks from premiering. The Jennifer Lawrence-starring mother! already has a trailer (which you can watch here), but no one really knows what, exactly, it is about (despite our best guesses). Director Darren Aronofsky wants it that way. In fact, it might be too horrifying to properly market any other way. “Most people, after they see the film, they don’t even wanna look at me,” he said in a recent Vulture interview. Apparently even Lawrence started hyperventilating when filming the climactic scene. Meanwhile, American Horror Story: Cult has its first trailer. Sarah Paulson plays a Hillary Clinton-loving mother who loses it on election night. Evan Parker plays an Alt-Right type who is ecstatic about Trump’s win, and soon starts tormenting Paulson and her family with the help of clowns. Our best guess? The entire season is an allegory for online trolling. mother! hits theaters on September 15th while AHS starts on September 5th. You’ve been warned. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | One of the most exciting new additions to the American Horror Story franchise this season will undoubtedly be Billie Lourd, daughter of the late Carrie Fisher. She was already a standout on producer Ryan Murphy’s Scream Queens, so it’ll be interesting to see what she can do on cable. | | | | | | | | | | Lil Yachty, 20 (Boat Captain Who Can Not Drink)
