I prefer Work It which was way down the list. I was about to have a conniption when Britney didn't show up til #7, and I'm surprised that Beyonce's entire discography wasn't included in the list

LMAOOOOO

A bunch of comedians tried to make up for their participation in the Riyadh comedy festival by donating their pay to Human Rights Watch and Human rights Watch was like “nah bitch we don’t want your dirty blood money” 😂😂 I’m dying

Human Rights Watch Doesn’t Want Any Riyadh Comedy Festival Money

Taking money from those who took money from Saudi Arabia would impact perception of the org’s independence.

"The parallels between the pilot episode of Grey’s are clear: 'That’s definitely the vibe—I love those similarities,' Jackson says. 'That’s definitely the way we’re trying to go with it. Once you find out that I’m an intern the stakes are raised.'" www.essence.com/entertainmen...

I covered pro wrestling online from 2017 to 2020. I was frankly a loud voice in that field against WWE going to Saudi Arabia.

I’m sorry to now inform the comedy community that in 5 years big comedians almost certainly will still be going and fans will have given up on caring.

It sucks, I agree.

" #TheSmashingMachine has Oscar buzz for Johnson. Blunt also deserves recognition and will likely be circling the Best Supporting Actress category. But for once I’d like to see her slough off the supporting parts and contend for Best Actress in a leading role." www.thedailybeast.com/obsessed/emi...

Emily Blunt Deserves Better Than the New ‘The Rock’ Movie

She’s far too good of an actress to be relegated to yet another beleaguered wife and role in “The Smashing Machine.”
