The Unfuckables by Anna Breslaw 
gabydunn:
This is a really interesting article about Tina Fey, Liz Lemon and how women treat other women they don’t deem “good enough.” For example, is feminism “we’re better than that” or is it “all women, no matter what?”
While I respect Tina Fey and love 30 Rock, I gotta say that Rachel Dratch’s treatment has always rubbed me the wrong way. I saw Dratch perform live when we were both part of the Women in Comedy Festival a year ago and she was tremendous. So so funny — and she was always one of my favorite SNL performers. (Sheldon, Zazu, the girl with the arm coming out of her head, The Lovers, her character work is stellar.) It’s a crying shame she’s been cast aside solely because of her looks.
All the people claiming Fey as their feminist icon need to re-evaluate Fey’s actual positions on women and then bow down before Queen Dratch.
i’m a huge tina fey fan and i was apprehensive about this essay, but… damn, it’s all true.

IMDB Bio of the Day: Much to the Internets’ delight, IMDB writer Jon Hopwood profiled Kim Kardashian in a thoughtful, well-argued roast of an IMDB bio.
Choice highlights:
Kim Kardashian is emblematic of the shallowness of American culture in the first two decades of the new millennium. While some cultural critics call her the prime avatar of the “famous for being famous” faux celebrity crowd, she along with Paris Hilton is a new breed of cat whose celebrity comes from the release of a sex tape and the canny exploitation of the resulting publicity. Like her good friend Miss Hilton (their relationship predates Kim’s “celebrity”, Kardashian is possessed of photogenic good looks but is short of any other discernible talents outside of the bedroom. Both expanded their celebrity by becoming reality TV “stars”.
Porn pioneer Harry Reems has commented how surprised he is at how porn stars like Jenna Jameson are accepted now in mainstream culture. His life was ruined by his participation in porn in its “Golden Years”. As for Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian, the release (accidental or not-so-accidental) of boudoir tapes didn’t result in shame but celebration. America like ancient Rome seems to have shuffled off the moral coil of virtue of the Republic and is now enjoying its Imperial self in an orgy of ignominy. It’s always more fun on the toboggan ride down the hill than it was schlepping up it in the first place.
Thankfully, a few screen grabs were snagged before the site was alerted to Hopwood’s shenanigans and took the bio down. Well played, Hopwood.
