The Backlash to Jay-Z's NFL Deal Is Just Beginning
 
As soon as we heard that Jay-Z's entertainment company, Roc Nation, was teaming up with the NFL, we knew that we didn't hear the whole story. And certainly hadn't heard the backlash yet. The news hit last week, in the middle of the NFL's preseason, where the top headline was whether or not Antonio Brown froze his foot off.

He was only convicted of one murder because he called a journalist and confessed to it.' Read More

A New Documentary Claims Secret Photos Were Taken of Marilyn Monroe After Her Death
 
Marilyn Monroe is a true fixture in American popular imagination—funny, beautiful, and dead before she could be mocked for succumbing to the vicissitudes of time, or for fighting the clock with needle, thread and skilled doctors. Her glamorous life and lonely death have inspired decades of fevered and sometimes grim fascination, and now a new documentary suggests that the star, ogled and erroneously dismissed as a dumb blonde in life, may have suffered more indignities in death. In the doc, the son of a famous American photographer says that his father snuck into the morgue to take pictures of her corpse. Read More
