Sometimes you can surprise yourself.
Dolly the cat thought she wouldn’t like sticking her face in a plastic cup, turns out she loves it!
Dolly’s mom, public relations consultant Audrey Gelman, decided to see just how curious her new kitty is, and set up a plastic cup for her to walk into and documented the results on Instagram. Dolly took the bait!
Now, at this point most cats would freak out, and immediately back out of the situation. Dolly embraced it, or more like kissed it. Once in the cup, Dolly couldn’t stop licking the inside, even...

Gender equality continues to be an ongoing issue in Hollywood. We examine why that is and who are 26 voices you should look for.
While Green Book winning Best Picture at the 2019 Oscars was a sour surprise for many viewers, and Olivia Colman’s Best Actress win pure sweetness, the Oscars was glaringly predictable in one key area before the red carpet even unfurled. The absence of women directors (again!) in the Best Director and Best Picture category points to the sustained systematic exclusion of females from two of the most acclaimed, and coveted, prizes in Hollywood.
The Hollywood industry hasn’t cottoned much to female directors. How else do we explain that women account for 4.6 percent of directors of major studio films as of 2015? How else do we explain that it wasn’t until 2010 that a woman won an Oscar for Best Director (Kathryn Bigelow for The Hurt Locker...

The Girls creator traveled to Boston; Manchester and Portsmouth, New Hampshire; Chicago; and Iowa City and Des Moines, Iowa, with her best friend Audrey Gelman as part of the campaign. "I never imagined I would be traveling to four or more cities a day to spread the word on why I vote,...

Hillary Clinton has firmly refused to address Donald Trump's talk of her husband Bill Clinton's past infidelity. And feminist actor-writer Lena Dunham firmly believes the former secretary of state shouldn't have to.
"I think that women should not be forced to constantly answer for the rhetoric around their husband's lives," Dunham, 29, tells People in a phone interview from New Hampshire as the creator and star of HBO's Girls made her campaign trail debut Friday for Clinton.

Ironically, some of the celebrities encouraging young people to vote did not cast their ballot in the last midterm elections.
Midterm elections are tomorrow, but are the celebrities pushing young voters to turn out actually walking the walk like their Rock The Vote campaign urges?
In a PSA that began airing a month ago, Rock The Vote enlisted famous faces and changed the lyrics to Lil Jon's "Turn Down For What" to "Turn Out For What" – all part of the organization's ongoing efforts to inspire and excite young people to vote for important issues.
In the ad, Lil Jon advocates for the legalization of marijuana, Girls' Lena Dunham supports reproductive rights, Glee's Darren Criss is there for education reform, Orange Is the New Black's Natasha Lyonne shows up for better prison policies, and Rich Kids of Beverly Hills' E.J. Johnson goes for marriage equality.
But The Washington Post reports that none of those...

Lena Dunham’s popular television series Girls has already advanced the careers of its four central stars – Dunham, Allison Williams, Zosia Mamet, and Jemima Kirke – but the HBO production has also dedicated plenty of screen time to a bevy of other talented ladies, even those not necessarily known for their acting work. Dunham’s series has long appeared to be compelled to cast the coolest female talents for a variety of guest roles that often quite handily subvert their public and professional personas. Kathryn Hahn had an arc back in the show’s first season as the mother of Jessa’s young babysitting charges who attempts to juggle her career and her family, Rosanna Arquette stopped by for an episode, comedienne Jenny Slate showed up for one, and even Dunham’s artist mom (and Tiny Furniture co-star) Laurie Simmons has played a named character in an ep. Elsewhere, Dunham’s childhood pal Audrey Gelman (who supposedly inspired...

Girls is not particularly kind to any of its male characters, but no one has it harder than Charlie, Marnie's puppy-dog ex-boyfriend. His new girlfriend — a headband-loving mustard entrepeneur, played by Audrey Gelman — is as mean as his ex; his band hasn't played a gig in months; and as the latest episode proves, he's still in love with Marnie. It's rough out there for a nice guy. But Christopher Abbott, who plays the beleaguered Charlie, has hope for him yet — and if the Marnie thing doesn't work out, he has plans for a spinoff. Vulture spoke with Abbott about his revenge plots, the dinner-party debacle, and whether a Charlie–Marnie reconciliation could ever work.The last time we spoke to you, you told Vulture that you hadn't read any of the Girls press. Is that still true?Well, no. It's obviously gotten more popular, and even just the interviews that...
