WatchBritney Spears’ “Till the World Ends,” from the new Pop-Up Video. The first third of this is pretty hilarious. Then it gets less hilarious, but more informative!
Mindy Kaling:

“Ross’s kitchen cabinets are filled with rations that could last six...”
– Rick Ross Interview GQ October 2011
This was my favorite part of this story, which I enjoyed as a good sort of day-in-the-life kind of piece, but which I feel like (probably because it was written by a dude? I don’t know?) keeps trying to figure out why Ross is so good/successful but never...

Back to School Clothes: What did you wear? →
