Kendall Jenner Shuts Down Comments About Her Acne at the Golden Globes


Plenty of us get breakouts. Adult acne is actually on the rise in women ages 20 to 40. But few of us, god forbid, have to stand on a red carpet with it like Kendall Jenner did at last night’s Golden Globes—where, even despite the evening’s central theme around women’s empowerment, people didn’t hold back from picking apart the model’s appearance. (Check out Twitter and you’ll see people sharing thoughts on everything from her acne to her lips to her attendance at large.)

Jenner, for her part, usually stays above petty comments on social media. But she actually had a pretty great response to a fan who tweeted her in solidarity about her acne. The fan wrote, “Ok but @KendallJenner showing up and strutting her acne while looking like a gorgeous star is what every girl needs to understand.” Kendall’s reply? “Never let that shit stop you! ?✨” Yeah, people were here for it.

Back in January 2017, the last time fans criticized her for getting “facial reconstruction” when really she’d done her makeup differently, Kendall called it “exhausting,” and said it ultimately made her think the world was rooting against her. “I feel like people just want me to lose,” she said. “People forget that they’re talking about real people who have real feelings and actually live their everyday lives (for the most part) just like everyone else.”

What we should be talking about instead? Time’s Up.

Dolce & Gabbana Designer Makes Some Questionable Comments About Sexual Harassment


In light of sexual assault allegations made against powerful figures in Hollywood, major players in the fashion industry have come out to express support for survivors and, in some cases, share their own experiences of harassment and abuse while at work. Across the board, the industry has condemned this behavior—except, it seems, for Stefano Gabbana, one half of the creative team behind Dolce & Gabbana. In an interview with Vogue UK, the Italian designer characterized sexual harassment as “not violence”—and that was only the beginning.

When the conversation veered towards the recent wave of accusations made against people in positions of power (in this particular case, the topic was brought up in light of allegations about U.K. politician Mark Garnier), Gabbana said: “It’s not new! Luchino Visconti [the Italian director] asked Helmut Berger [the Austrian actor] and Alain Delon [the French actor] to go in the bed… But listen, you decide. It’s true. Everybody knows. After twenty years you say, ‘Ah! He touched my ass!’ It’s not violence, this.”

He continued: “Who doesn’t do sex? Who doesn’t? It’s a trend. Now the trend is sex. But sex is an old story. We are Italian. We came from the Roman Empire. We know very well.”

Gabbana went on to describe political correctness as “fake, because you don’t have the power to explain what you really think. With respect to everyone, I am not Mussolini. I am not God. It’s just my opinion. But I love when people say exactly what they think. If you don’t agree with another person, you still have the freedom to say what you think.” Early on in the conversation with Vogue UK, he described himself as “not politically correct” and Dolce as “more than me.”

The designer has never been one to hold his tongue. These comments are but the latest entry in a long list of inflammatory statements that have caused controversy. In 2015, the design duo suggested that marriage should only be for heterosexual couples, and that gay couples shouldn’t have “synthetic” children, referring to babies born from IVF; they apologized months after. More recently, Gabbana body-shamed, then apologized for body-shaming Lady Gaga during her 2017 Super Bowl performance. The brand has attracted criticism, too, for agreeing to dress First Lady Melania Trump—and responded to the backlash by staging a tongue-in-cheek “boycott” of Dolce & Gabbana.

Glamour has reached out to Dolce & Gabbana for comment, and will update this story when we receive a response.

Some Genius Put a Plaque Where Trump Made Those 'Access Hollywood' Comments


It’s been just over a year since the infamous Access Hollywood tape leaked—the very one in which then reality star and now president Donald Trump bragged about “grabbing women by the p–sy”—and TV producers at a Burbank, California, film studio recently marked the occasion with a dishonorary plaque.

A photo of the tablet was shared on Facebook by visual effects artist Seth Gottlieb (who works on the CW show Legends of Tomorrow), who explained, “In dishonor of our President, the producers of my show have created a plaque commemorating his comments to Billy Bush, which happened on our lot.”

The plaque not only referenced the Access Hollywood tape but what Trump managed to accomplished after it was made public, reading: “On this spot in September 2005, Donald J. Trump bragged about committing sexual assault. In November 2016, he was elected president of the United States.”

According to Legends producer Phil Klemmer, the marker remained posted for just 15 minutes, but “the truth remains.”

For those who might have blocked out the entirety of the 2016 campaign (and who could blame you?), the tape captured Trump gloating about kissing and groping women without their consent (“When you’re a star they let you do it. You can do anything,” he said).

Following the release of the tape, numerous women came forward with allegations of sexual harassment and misconduct against Trump. The President has continued to deny the accusations, and on Friday, White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders confirmed that the administration supports Trump’s assertion that all of the women are lying.

Khloé Kardashian Has Some Strong Words About Those 'Baby Bump' Comments


It’s not long ago that a holy trinity of alleged Kardashian-Jenner baby news descended upon us: Kim Kardashian was rumored to be expecting a third child via surrogate; Kylie Jenner was apparently pregnant, which almost broke the Internet; and Khloé Kardashian also had her turn at bat with pregnancy gossip. Although Kylie’s kept mum (as is her every right), Kim since confirmed that she’s expecting via surrogate. As of Friday, Khloé has now also weighed in on the bun-in-the-oven rumors, thanks to a little kerfuffle whipped up by an Instagram pic she posted Thursday. The image in question, which is promoting her Good American line, has her resting an arm over her waistline (you can see where this is going, no?) and wearing a short, tight faux-leather miniskirt.

It was pretty much off to the races with the commenters, who were eking out a “baby bump” (their words, not ours) from the image and commenting on what is apparently strategic arm placement versus something not-awkward to do with your hand during a photoshoot. (Hands! What to do with them?)

Here’s the image:

Khloé, who’d also posted the pic on Twitter, getting much the same response, took the commenters to task with a lil’ lesson about something called ~ fashun ~. Twitter user @Khlomoney98 screen-grabbed it for posterity: “this is a peplum shirt,” Khloé wrote. “It flairs [sic] out at the bottom. It’s just the way the shirt is designed. In some of the next pictures coming up from the SAME shoot, I’m in a crop top. Showing a lot of skin…”

Of course, we don’t know when the shoot happened—it could have been months ago!—but we also don’t know if Khloé is pregnant. Or if she’s not. And that’s OK. Because she will tell us if and when she wants to, or not tell us because there’s nothing to tell. In the meantime, we’ll just be doing our best to keep up with the rest of the family. And that, frankly, is a lot.

James Cameron Just Doubled Down on His Troubling Comments About 'Wonder Woman'


Last month director James Cameron received some (justified) criticism when he called the titular character in Patty Jenkins’ Wonder Woman film an “objectified icon.”

“All of the self-congratulatory back-patting Hollywood’s been doing over Wonder Woman has been so misguided,” he said. “She’s an objectified icon, and it’s just male Hollywood doing the same old thing! I’m not saying I didn’t like the movie but, to me, it’s a step backward.”

Jenkins herself responded to Cameron’s comments on Twitter, writing,”[His] inability to understand what Wonder Woman is, or stands for, to women all over the world is unsurprising as, though he is a great filmmaker, he is not a woman…. If women have to always be hard, tough, and troubled to be strong, and we aren’t free to be multidimensional or celebrate an icon of women everywhere because she is attractive and loving, then we haven’t come very far, have we?”

Of course, Jenkins hit the nose on the head with her response. Wonder Woman was directed by a woman, removing the male gaze that is often present with female characters in action films. Yes, Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot) is physically beautiful, but her attractiveness isn’t commodified in a gratuitous, tongue-wagging way.

Unfortunately Cameron still doesn’t view it this way. In a new interview with The Hollywood Reporter, he doubled down on his comments, essentially saying Gadot’s conventional beauty prevents Wonder Woman from being progressive.

“Yes, I’ll stand by that,” he said. “I mean, [Gadot] was Miss Israel, and she was wearing a kind of bustier costume that was very form-fitting. She’s absolutely drop-dead gorgeous. To me, that’s not breaking ground.”

Cameron says his original comments were in the context of talking about a female lead in one of his own popular franchises, The Terminator: Sarah Connor, played by Linda Hamilton. He says Hamilton’s portrayal of Sarah in 1991 was a breakthrough because there wasn’t “anything sexual about her character.”

“[She] was about angst, it was about will, it was about determination,” he said. “She was crazy, she was complicated…. She wasn’t there to be liked or ogled, but she was central, and the audience loved her by the end of the film.”

Here’s the thing, though: Gadot’s Wonder Woman is complicated, too. The fact that she’s wearing a tight uniform—which was just the Wonder Woman costume—doesn’t negate the nuanced character development we witnessed on screen.

It’s troubling that Cameron still contends Gadot’s Wonder Woman was treated like a sex object because many critiques of the film point to the contrary. Yes, Hamilton’s performance in The Terminator was groundbreaking, but so is the fact that we finally saw a female superhero on film not manipulated by the male gaze. She wasn’t an object, plain and simple. Jenkins made sure of that. It’s extremely possible for female characters to be “hot” and angsty and complicated all at once.
