I have some news, which is so exciting and also incredibly bittersweet for obvious reasons. I sold my second book to Hachette Books/Running Press in December!! It’s on DAWSON’S CREEK in honor of its forthcoming 30th anniversary, which I began working on last summer ✨✨

i reviewed the new bruno mars album pitchfork.com/reviews/albu...

it's not crazy. i'd love to see an artist who is vocal about doing things their own way and fightin the man and streaming then go grant the big interview to a newsletter. like i wanna see the next Chappell interview on @ohheybrittany.bsky.social newsletter ok!!

don’t kill the messenger!

It is in fact Brittany Spanos day on the site

Back in December, I wondered when the good vibes around Heated Rivalry would buckle under intense fan scrutiny. From "pedo" allegations to racism, that moment has arrived, but some stan accounts are now self-regulating. @ohheybrittany.bsky.social gets into it: www.wired.com/story/the-he...

two articles i wrote for @wired.com (and the culture section’s queen @manishakrishnan.bsky.social) just pubbed today! on ai dating: www.wired.com/story/inside... on heated rivalry’s fandom wars: www.wired.com/story/the-he...

the Heated Rivalry fandom has done a really remarkable speedrun from a celebration of a fluffy, sexy gay show to calling cast members pedophiles & journalists "klan members" (yes, really) — v excited about @wired.com's blow-by-blow feat interviews w fans on the front lines

loving this Jill Scott feature on @wxpnfm.bsky.social morning show today, getting me in the friday mood. excited to dive into this new @ohheybrittany.bsky.social feature on Jilly From Philly www.elle.com/culture/musi... cc @kristenkurtis.bsky.social

Just want to compliment @ohheybrittany.bsky.social on her commitment to the lower case name. Seen and respected! (I mostly gave up years ago.)

interviewed jill scott for ELLE! in feb print issue 🌟 www.elle.com/culture/musi...

we made the society pages (emily sundberg's substack lol)

3 yrs ago I started writing a book that is in stores TODAY. It's narrative nonfiction, anti-fascist spy thriller set in Trump era. It's timely as hell & I'm proud of it. A thread of what people are saying abt it & why I hope you'll help make it a bestseller www.simonandschuster.com/books/To-Cat...

so sick. thank you all for subscribing ❤️ brittanyspanos.substack.com

this is a fucking insane decision in a string of fresh-hell high-profile layoffs this week. Spanos gone from RS. Adam B Vary gone from Variety. Loads more earlier this year. Non-fawning entertainment journalism is just not going to be a thing any more I guess???

Monumental loss for RS, but you should subscribe immediately to @ohheybrittany.bsky.social newsletter, because there’s really no one in the biz doing it like her open.substack.com/pub/brittany...

fasted subscribin' I ever did subscribe!

Brittany is a legend, I mean she did THREE cover stories this year alone. She has impeccable taste and talent and I am genuinely so confused by what RS is if they’re letting her go. But I do know she will thrive without them. subscribe to her substack! brittanyspanos.substack.com/p/youre-on-y...

Friendly reminder that laying people off right before Christmas is among the shittiest things a company can do.

some personal news: after 11 years i was laid off from rolling stone! kind of surreal feeling to start over but excited to see what's next 🫶

This is just a beautiful story by @ohheybrittany.bsky.social, with three great lessons: Let kids be creative, take them seriously, and listen to @wfmu.bsky.social. www.rollingstone.com/music/music-...

I read about it in this excellent article by @ohheybrittany.bsky.social www.rollingstone.com/music/music-...

I’m listening to this now and it’s… strange!

I am very proud of my step daughters ( Janet and Mary ), and their two childhood friends Ayden and Jessica. Their cult teen band from 2000 has gained some notoriety for the re-release of their group's album "X-Cetra" and subsequent article in Rolling Stone. www.rollingstone.com/music/music-...

This album is delightful.

25 years ago, four childhood best friends wanted to be like the Spice Girls and form a girl group. With the help of a mom in the home taping scene, they made something they weren't expecting. This is the story of X-Cetra, unexpected outsider music stars: www.rollingstone.com/music/music-...

Four Best Friends Made an Album as Kids. 25 Years Later, It’s a Cult Classic In 2000, X-Cetra recorded a homemade album called Stardust. After being posted online, it took on a life of its own.

Butt-Rock Is Back, Baby 🎸 Bands like Creed, Nickelback, and Hinder used to get made fun of, but a 2000s revival has made them more beloved than ever.

i'm super-honored to be quoted in brittany's delightful celebration of Creed + Nickelback revivalism and dramatic + sexless masculinity

i had a lot to say about butt rock www.rollingstone.com/music/music-...

Want to recommend to you all this exceptional Rolling Stone cover profile of Lorde by my exceptional colleague @ohheybrittany.bsky.social

John Mulaney did a bit where he interviews Twista about his puppets. @ohheybrittany.bsky.social did it for real for @rollingstone.com www.rollingstone.com/music/music-...

Read @ohheybrittany.bsky.social fantastic Lorde cover story! www.rollingstone.com/music/music-...

On the opening track of Lorde's new album 'Virgin,' she sings: "Some days I’m a woman/Some days I’m a man." "There’s a part of me that is really resistant to boxing it up," Lorde tells Rolling Stone. Interview: www.rollingstone.com/music/music-...

Praise the Lorde. The New Zealand superstar is back with L4 this June and is Rolling Stone's new cover star. From a breakup to an eating disorder to an expanding gender identity and a triumphant new album, Lorde talks about all of it. Story: www.rollingstone.com/music/music-...

june cover! i interviewed LORDE 😭🧬 www.rollingstone.com/music/music-...

Chris is one of the best extremism reporters in the country. He’s got that rare combination of excellent, urgent reporting and beautiful writing and storytelling that’s every editor’s dream. You should have him write for you immediately!

After over a decade at @HuffPost, I’ve decided to take a buyout in the latest round of layoffs. It's tough to leave a place I love & I’m so grateful for all the people here, & all the faith they’ve put in me through the years.
