Someone Made Some Bold Edits to Green Book’s Wikipedia Page After Its Oscar Win

ICYMI, a LOT of people were upset about Green Book’s Best Picture win at last night’s Oscars, including Spike Lee, who tried to leave the theatre when the win was announced. The reasons for this are multifold: the historical inaccuracies of the film and the failure to involve Dr Don Shirley’s family in the process, the white saviour complex at the heart of the film’s narrative, the overly simplistic way of looking at race relations in America, and the fact that the film’s director, Peter Farrelly, has sexually harassed people in the past (as a “joke”), while its writer Nick Vallelonga is very clearly Islamophobic, attempting to corroborate, in a fairly recent tweet, Donald Trump’s completely false claim that Muslims were rejoicing on 9/11.

Someone evidently rather dismayed at the film’s win quickly took to Wikipedia as an outlet for their rage, changing the film’s title on the page to Lying White Guilt Trash while its writing credits were updated to read: Serial Liar and Islamophobe Nick Vallelonga and Sexual Harasser Peter Farrelly.

Elsewhere, on the Oscars 2019 Wikipedia page, the film’s title was changed to Wack Ass Oscar Bait.

Of course, Wikipedia editors quickly undid these changes, but screenshots live forever.

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...
