"Dolce & Gabbana is working towards a more sustainable future that can't contemplate the use of animal fur," said the group's communication and marketing officer, Fedele Usai, in a press release, adding: "The entire fashion system has a significant social responsibility role that must be promoted and encourage...

Joe Rogan blinked. Or he did the digital-age equivalent: he made an Instagram video. And he said his critics–most notably one aging rocker–have a point. And promised to do better. So Neil Young, excuse the expression, struck a chord.   I say that as a huge Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young fan who thinks the musician went way too far in trying to intimidate Spotify into censoring one of its most popular voices. And there is a giant lesson here for one of the world’s biggest streaming services. JOE ROGAN QUESTIONS EVERYTHING -- "Podcast" -- Pictured: (l-r) Joe Rogan, Duncan Trussell --  (Photo by: Vivian Zink/Syfy/NBCU Photo Bank/NBCUniversal via Getty Images) Now I believe what Young did in threatening to remove his songs from Spotify if the company didn’t dump Roga...

Monday Night Raw is coming at us from Cincinnati, Ohio this week. I wonder if they have anything else to cheer about this week. While I ponder on what other big thing happened to Cincy, you go read Claire’s blog. Then come back for some insights. Let’s talk Raw! LITA IS BACK No clever headline here. Becky Lynch needed an opponent for Elimination Chamber, Lita needed something to do. Sometimes in WWE, simple arithmetic still works. But before we get to that, let’s talk about how we got here. Ronda Rousey made her way to the ring to tell us all whom she will face at WrestleMania. She cut the blandest of bland promos with a scowl on her face while doing her best to hide the smile she wanted to crack as the fans chanted her name. According to Ronda, “Rebecca” is beneat...
