A viral TikTok video highlights an extreme version of inequality that many wives and mothers in heterosexual relationships face. However, the mom in this story hit her limit and won’t deal with it anymore.

Lynalice Bandy, who goes by @5kids5catssomedogstoo on TikTok, posted a video that showed her home looking like a disaster after she worked six 10-hour days straight while her husband did nothing to help.

Her time-lapse video shows every room in the house completely trashed, with toys, food and laundry scattered everywhere. “Shampoo on the carpets in the girls’ room, nail polish all over Nugget covers, hair, and carpet. Scissors were used to cut hair, the down comforter, the mattress cover, and two Nugget covers,” wrote the mom.

“I’ve worked six, ten-hour days in a row with only one day off being a sick day,” she captioned the video. “I’d like to pretend I’m not the only person who cleans here, but as you can see…These rooms don’t get much attention when I’m not here.”

She says her husband’s excuse was that he was focused on doing his schoolwork and couldn’t pay attention to the kids. “Now, that school is out for a break, he doesn’t have that excuse anymore,” Bandy says, noting that all of his attention has been focused on “the four vehicles in our driveway that he wants to work on continuously.”

In a follow-up video, Bandy announced that she left her husband after the debacle. The original video received over 17,000 comments, many of which were from supportive women.

“You deserve much better, and he deserves to be alone. Much love to you from someone that left that life behind almost 20 yrs ago. You’ll get here, too,” Angela LaRoche wrote.

“Ma’am, you are nothing short of amazing! Hang in there!” Japanese with Jenny wrote.

“That home is beautiful because of YOU,” Hillary added. “You put in so much work, and it is not unseen by me and so many others. But, you DO deserve better. Proud of you.”

Sounds about right…

Even though Bandy’s experience with her husband is an extreme case of a couple whose domestic duties are way out of balance, it points to a problem that plagues many households. Even though it’s 2023 and families are becoming more equal, women still do significantly more housework than men.

A study utilizing data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ American Time Use Survey found that women 15 years and older spend 5.7 hours daily doing housework and looking after kids and elders. Men in the same age group do an average of 3.6 hours of daily domestic work.

That’s a 37% difference in time spent on household responsibilities.

Further, women who work an average of 35 hours a week spend 4.9 hours a day on household chores and child care, while men who work the same amount spend an average of 3.8 hours.

The comments show that there are a lot of women out there who are frustrated with their husbands for not doing their fair share. Hopefully, this video will encourage more people to speak out about domestic inequality and for more men to step up and do their part.

Every week, Billboard unveils the top 10 songs on the latest Hot 100 chart. The most recent rankings, for the chart dated February 17, are out now, so let’s run down who had this week’s biggest hits.

10. Miley Cyrus — “Flowers”

Three songs that had big moments at the 2024 Grammys saw some noteworthy chart movement this week, with Cyrus’ former No. 1 “Flowers” re-entering the top 10 after spending last week at No. 32.

9. Doja Cat — “Agora Hills”

“Agora Hills” was at its Hot 100 high of No. 7 this week before sliding down to No. 9 this time around.

8. Luke Combs — “Fast Car”

Combs’ “Fast Car” cover had a Cyrus-like rise after he performed the song with Tracy Chapman herself, bouncing up to No. 8 from No. 20.

7. Tate McRae — “Greedy”

While “Greedy” slid down a couple spots from No. 5 last week, it did sell some more copies after McRae performed the song at the NHL All-Star Game on February 3.

6. Zach Bryan — “I Remember Everything” Feat. Kacey Musgraves

“I Remember Everything” once again leads various Billboard charts, ranking No. 1 on the Hot Rock & Alternative Songs and Hot Rock Songs charts for a 24th week and the Hot Country Songs for a 20th time.

5. SZA — “Snooze”

“Snooze” was barely hanging onto a top-10 placement last week, but after it was included in SZA’s Grammys performance medley, it gained a few spots to return to the top 5.

4. Taylor Swift — “Cruel Summer”

Swift has a new album, The Tortured Poets Department, on the way, but in the meantime, “Cruel Summer” is maintaining a strong chart presence for Swift before her new songs inevitably take over.

3. Benson Boone — “Beautiful Things”

Boone’s viral hit hit the top 10 for the first time at No. 8 last week, and now its ascent continues as it climbed all the way to a new high at No. 3.

2. Teddy Swims — “Lose Control”

Similar story for Swims: “Lose Control” was No. 4 last week and now it’s angling for the top spot after its rise to No. 2 this week.

1. Jack Harlow — “Lovin On Me”

Harlow’s hit has been jostled in and out of the No. 1 spot a handful of times now, but it’s on top once again for a fifth total week after spending last week at No. 2, behind Megan Thee Stallion’s “Hiss” (which didn’t make this week’s top 10 after its chart-topping debut).

The rollout for streaming ads on Amazon Prime Video could be going better.

The retail giant is already facing a class-action over the new ad-free tier that was introduced to Prime Video users on January 29. Historically, a subscription to Prime granted you full access to Amazon’s library with no commercial interruptions. However, Amazon made the decision to bring streaming ads into the equation but promised not to raise the price of a Prime subscription in the process. While this is technically true, users now had to pay an additional $2.99/month if they wanted to avoid the new ads.

That change came as quite the surprise to Prime users who were locked into yearly plans and now found their programs littered with ads. Cue the lawyers.

Via The Hollywood Reporter:

But when Amazon altered its terms, users who had signed up for annual subscriptions were also impacted. They allege the change is deceptive.

“Subscribers must now pay extra to get something they already paid for,” the complaint states.

In addition to being “unfair,” the suit alleges that Amazon illegally benefited by advertising Prime Video as “commercial-free” for years prior to launching its ad-supported tier, which “harms both consumers and honest competition,” according to the complaint.

The class action is reportedly seeking $5 million in damages and a “court order barring Amazon from engaging in further deceptive conduct on behalf of users who subscribed to Prime prior to Dec. 28, 2023.”

Back when Kanye West was still partnered with Gap, he made a huge fuss about wanting to price all of his Yeezy merch at $20. His stated goal at the time was to make “modern, elevated basics for men, women and kids at accessible price points,” however, one of the points of contention for him regarding the Gap Yeezy line was that all of the items were priced similarly to the red jacket he wore at his Donda listening. Kanye also wanted to change the store layouts, selling the clothes out of bundles and bags on the floor rather than on hangers (with Kanye, a truly bad idea nearly always follows the good ones).

In 2022, Kanye made a big show of trying to blow up his deal with Gap, although it’s more likely the company cut ties with him over his controversial statements about Jewish people, George Floyd, and a certain mustachioed dictator with a penchant for oration and world domination. The bright side for Kanye is that now, apparently, he can live his dream of selling Yeezy merch for just $20. Every item on the Yeezy website is currently priced at $20 — not including shipping costs — with multiple options of T-shirts and women’s tank tops, jumpsuits, and rompers, as well as his somewhat controversial sock-sneakers.

The year is 2024. Nepo babies are OUT, nepo pets are IN. And thanks to a new up-and-coming dog actor, we are starting on a great note.

Goldie Hawn revealed that her golden retriever pup Roy was the star of Budweiser’s 2024 Super Bowl commercial which aired during the big game. Why their dog? Who knows! But most likely it was because they could not afford Goldie, her husband Kurt Russell, or her daughter Kate Hudson, who is busy becoming a pop star. So they went right to Roy, who did a better job than any of them ever would. Who says you need some sort of celebrity cameo to make a good commercial? A lot of people. But dogs also work.

Hawn shared a video of the family reacting to Roy’s small screen debut, which ended with the family (Hudson included) giving Roy a little pat on the head for his mesmerizing role of “dog.” The commercial features the return of the iconic Clydesdale horses that your grandpa loved so much.

The best part about pet nepotism is that it can be celebrated simply because these animals have no idea what’s going on. Do you think Matthew Vaughn’s cat Chip knew he was in a leading role in Argylle? No, so his acting is legitimate and convincing. Meanwhile, Taylor Swift’s cat Benjamin recently became a cover model, so now is the time for Roy to start auditioning for other roles. Even those bees in The Beekeeper belonged to someone.

At his Las Vegas residency, Usher has become known for serenading high-profile female attendees, everybody from Doja Cat to Gabrielle Union to, of course, Keke Palmer. He also had a tender-looking moment with Alicia Keys at the Super Bowl LVIII Halftime Show this past weekend. Swizz Beatz, Keys’ husband, didn’t seem to mind at all, presumably because he understands that Usher is a performer whose job is to create an experience for those watching.

In fact, Usher has a relationship of his own, as he has been with Jennifer Goicoechea for years and they have two children together. It appears, actually, that the two just took things to the next level.

It was previously reported that the two got a marriage license in Clark County, Nevada on February 8. While there does not appears to be a marriage certificate filed as of yet (there are no reports indicating that, anyway), People reports today (February 12) that they “confirmed” that Usher and Goicoechea did indeed get married over the weekend.

A few days ago, Usher spoke to People about potentially marrying Goicoechea, saying, “We’ve obviously made a commitment to life for life together because of our children. It wouldn’t be odd for us to get married. We already did here. You know what I’m saying? And we’re going to be in each other’s lives until we die, obviously, because we have something to share. That’s beautiful. Our children. But not because of that. I really do feel like I have an amazing partner that I respect.”

If you caught Cardi B in a commercial for NYX Professional Makeup during Super Bowl LVIII, you haven’t seen the whole thing.

Entertainment Weekly reports that only half the ad, which shows the “Up” rapper touting the brand’s Duck Pump lip gloss, was approved for the broadcast. The rest of the commercial — the part that’s online only — was deemed too risqué for a joke involving men mishearing “Duck Plump” and administering the beauty product where it doesn’t belong. When Cardi B is informed of this unfortunate development, she asks, “They put it where?”

First, Deadpool couldn’t make a pegging joke. And now this? What’s this country coming to?

“As a female-led brand with female creators behind the work, we’re proud of our creative idea, which flips the script on male stereotypes with lighthearted humor,” NYX Professional Makeup general manager Yasmin Dastmalchi said in a statement. “As a bold brand rooted in entertainment, and as a first-time advertiser on Super Bowl Sunday, our intention was to make everyone laugh during the big game. We hope you love it as much as we do!”

Any ad that doesn’t feature a pickleball-playing talking baby is a winner to me. You can watch the full-length commercial above.

Ken Burns is back with another documentary. The celebrated filmmaker is once again re-teaming with PBS for Leonardo da Vinci, a four-hour journey into the life of the gifted Renaissance artist and inventor.

With the documentary set to arrive later this year, here’s everything we know about Burns’ latest project:

Story

In this new documentary from Ken Burns, Sarah Burns, and David McMahon, Leonardo da Vinci will take a deep dive into the life of the iconic visionary by examining his personal journals, primary accounts of his life, and interviews with modern historians and artists who have been inspired by the Renaissance figure.

Here’s the official synopsis:

This film will tell the story of Leonardo di ser Piero da Vinci, best known as Leonardo da Vinci, a fifteenth century Italian polymath of soaring imagination and profound intellect, who left behind artistic works of staggering beauty and detailed sketches of futuristic contraptions of warfare and flight that today are marveled at for their technical ingenuity and foresight.

From his birth out of wedlock to a notary and peasant woman and apprenticeship to a distinguished Florentian painter, to his days as a military architect, cartographer, sculptor and muralist for hire, the film will offer an intimate portrait of a singular visionary whose Mona Lisa, The Last Supper and The Vitruvian Man are among the most celebrated works known to man, but whose artistic endeavors sometimes seemed an afterthought to his pursuits in science and engineering.

According to The Wrap, Leonardo da Vinci will “mark a change in the team’s filmmaking style as it will include using split screens with images and video as well as sounds from different time periods.”

Cast and crew

Given that Leonardo da Vinci is a documentary, there is little news in the way of casting. However, a notable voice will most likely be used for the narrator, but for now, that information is being kept under wraps. Ken Burns is allowed to use Marvel-level secrecy, too, you guys.

Release Date

The two-part Leonardo da Vinci documentary will premiere November 18 at 8 pm ET followed by a second and final installment on November 19 at the same time. Both episodes will be two hours long.

Trailer

As of this writing, there is no official trailer for Leonardo da Vinci. We’ll keep you posted when one arrives.

Leonardo da Vinci premieres November 18 on PBS.

There have been references to pegging in TV shows and movies for years now (shout out to that one episode of Broad City). It’s not as normalized as foot fetish representation, but it’s not far behind, either. That being said, it’s still pretty shocking to hear a pegging joke in the trailer for a Disney movie.

The Deadpool & Wolverine trailer premiered during Super Bowl LVIII on Sunday — or at least a teaser for the trailer did. To watch the full-length video, people were instructed to head to YouTube where the trailer was uploaded in all its R-rated (and Easter eggs) glory. There’s swearing, butt slaps, loads of violence and blood, and the aforementioned pegging joke.

Unless you caught the alternate trailer:

Instead of Ryan Reynolds (in Deadpool’s Marvel Cinematic Universe debut) saying “pegging isn’t new for me, friendo, but it is for Disney,” the PG-13 version of the trailer has him quipping “the R rating isn’t new for me friendo, but it is for Disney” before looking at the camera.

That Deadpool, ain’t he a stinker?

Deadpool & Wolverine, which is directed by Shawn Levy and also stars Emma Corrin, Morena Baccarin, Rob Delaney, Leslie Uggams, Karan Soni, and Matthew Macfadyen (Tom from Succession!), opens on July 26.
