Thanks in part to Rolling Stone's rape reporting disaster, fraternities will resume partying at the University of Virginia on January 9. After protests from Greek groups including the North American Intrafraternity Conference, UVa President Teresa Sullivan has decided to end the frat suspension that was meant to "give…
Rolling Stone's blockbuster story about an alleged gang rape at UVa's Phi Psi house has all but fallen apart after questions about the reporting process and a bullshit, blanket denial from Phi Psi forced the magazine to disavow its source's account of gang rape. The source and alleged victim, Jackie, is sticking by…
Rolling Stone's managing editor Will Dana issued a note today saying that the magazine would be re-examing its blockbuster story of rape and its aftermath at the University of Virginia. The magazine announced it has found "discrepancies" in the central anecdote of Sabrina Rubin Ederly's article, an account of a…
When a young woman says she's been raped at college, some people—her peers, administrators, and otherwise-disconnected conservative pundits—will go to great lengths not to believe her for various, usually bad reasons. So it's unfortunate that Rolling Stone's investigation of rape and its aftermath at the University of…
EDM producer Skrillex gets a lot of shit because 1) his hair is dumb, 2) his music sounds like two mollyed-up bros getting into a fight while simultaneously weeping, and 3) his name is Skrillex.
Drake has issued a statement regarding his Rolling Stone Twitter tantrum. Basically, he supports Rolling Stone's decision to replace him on the cover, but he "was not able to salvage my story or my photos and that was devastating." Also, his lack of choice in the matter made him feel "violated." Oh yeah, and he's…
Pouty singer/rapper/SNL phenom Drake generally comes off as affable (he is Canadian) despite his brand somewhat being defined by his perpetual case of the moods. But not this time. Drake is pissed. Drake is disgusted. The press is evil.
Perhaps you heard the news that Charles Manson is maybe, possibly engaged to a 25-year-old? Or at least that's what Manson's paramour, Star (left, with her bb on the right), told Rolling Stone's Erik Hedegaard during the arduous process of assembling a lengthy profile on the very famous convicted murderer.…
Michael J. Fox, a diminutive man with tremendous likability, is returning to primetime television in an eponymous sitcom, The Michael J. Fox Show, tonight on NBC. Even though the Emmy-winning actor has been around, in one capacity or another, since he publicly announced Parkinson's diagnosis, his appearances tend to…
On Tuesday, Rolling Stone published its first Miley Cyrus cover story online.
On the Longform Podcast, Janet Reitman talks about her Dzhokhar Tsarnaev Rolling Stone cover story for the first time.
Looks like the boycotts didn't work: the Rolling Stone issue featuring Dzhokhar Tsarnaev on its cover was a hit. The “Boston Bomber” issue sold 13,332 copies in retail stores, more than double the magazine's average sales from last year.
Last week, Rolling Stone's decision to feature Dzhokhar Tsarnaev on its August 1, 2013 cover caused such a major brouhaha that Mayor of Boston denounced the magazine in a statement and a string of retailers declined to stock the issue. But the Marathon Bombing suspect wasn't the editors' first choice for the cover.…
The City of Boston is very unhappy with Rolling Stone's decision to feature Marathon Bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev on its August 1 cover, so unhappy that a long list of New England-tied retailers have refused to stock the issue. As of today, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev's former college, the University of Massachusetts…
Rolling Stone has just published the Janet Reitman story accompanying its controversial Dzhokhar Tsarnaev cover online.
Last night, Rolling Stone announced that its August 1, 2013 issue will feature a cover story about Marathon Bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev by contributing editor Janet Reitman, an excellent investigative reporter who's spent the last two months working on the piece.
Good news for #FreeJahar supporters: Boston bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev will be on the cover of the August issue of Rolling Stone.
After three years on the job, Rolling Stone publisher Matt Mastrangelo has been fired by his boss, Jann Wenner. No word yet on whether he'll be replaced by one of Wenner's children.
The most recent issue of Rolling Stone — the one with the This Is The End guys on the cover and the accompanying story all about how James Franco farts a lot, and how Jonah Hill won't discuss farts, and how Danny McBride's underwear becomes unwearably dirty after just a day — has a special "The New Stoned Age" section…
Rolling Stone boss Jann Wenner says he picked his 22 year-old son Gus to run the magazine's website because he "impressed me more than anyone."
