Drake’s made quite a few tampon-y ballads for the various women he’s played Easy Bake Oven with over the course of his career. One of the earliest was Bria Myles.

It seems like the hoopla over Mark Zuckerberg’s social network becoming a publicly-traded company has been going on for months.

Justin Bieber is a subject that 99% of TSS’ audience will gloss over (the other assumed 1% probably like him ironically). A recent GQ profile on the Canadian teeny-bopper star will probably get the side-eye treatment from that same demographic, but don’t roll those eyes so quickly.
