Everything That Upset the Internet This Week

What is the web-o-sphere angry about this week? A lip sync fail, a puppy arrest, and another misogynistic Piers Morgan tweet. Here’s everything you need to know.

Rita Ora lip syncs her televised parade performance

THE STORY: British pop star Rita Ora sang her new song “Let You Love Me” at the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in NYC. Those watching the televised performance from their couch were quick to notice that her lips didn’t exactly line up with the song.

THE REACTION:

RIGHTEOUSNESS OF THE RAGE: John Legend, who also performed in the parade, jumped to Ora’s defence on Twitter.

So we’re suppose to believe Ora is so good at singing live that she doesn’t even know how to lip sync? I’ll take it — it’s a better excuse than “acid reflux.” Sorry Ashley Simpson, we’ll never forget.

A puppy was seized by police for biting an officer

THE STORY: Bungle, a 16-week-old Chow-Chow puppy, bit an officer in Northamptonshire, England after escaping from his home and hiding under a vehicle. The pup was detained under the Dangerous Dogs Act, and faced being held for up to nine months in a secret kennel.

THE REACTION:

RIGHTEOUSNESS OF THE RAGE: I’m no expect, but locking up a puppy in a kennel-like setting through its formative months seems like it would create an even more nervous, aggressive dog. The good news is, Bungle has now been released back into the care of his human family. The viral reaction to this new story has, however, launched an interesting conversation about the kinds of dogs that receive special public attention. If Bungle had been a pitbull, rather than a fluffy bear-like pooch, this story could have ended very differently. Speaking with the BBC, dog-welfare expert Sam Gaines said, “It is incredibly sad that Bungle has been seized, but there are lots of other dogs that sadly get seized on a regular basis and whose welfare is compromised.”

Piers Morgan goes after Little Mix… & Ariana Grande gets involved

THE STORY: Girl group Little Mix posed naked in a recent photo shoot, showing their bodies covered with insults they’d received. British TV host (and infamous Twitter troll) Piers Morgan criticized the image, saying they “stole the idea” from a 2003 Entertainment Weekly cover of country trio Dixie Chicks. In another tweet, he said that Little Mix member Jesy Nelson “looks ridiculous … she should put some clothes on.” Ariana Grande’s mother, Joan, had something to say about this.

Morgan replied: “Hi Joan, my mother taught me to speak my mind & never be afraid to express honestly held opinion. Ellen’s a hypocrite – and as for Little Mix, I’d just prefer they use their talent to sell records rather than their nudity. As your own daughter does…!”

THE REACTION:

RIGHTEOUSNESS OF THE RAGE: Ugh, can we all just agree than this dude is the worst and stop giving him a platform to make outrageous statements? I hate giving him the attention he so desperately seeks. Ariana Grande claimed the final word: “also @piersmorgan, i look forward to the day you realize there are other ways to go about making yourself relevant than to criticize young, beautiful, successful women for everything they do. i think that’ll be a beautiful thing for you and your career or what’s left of it.”

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
