Chris Brown Cleared in Rape Investigation
On January 22, news broke that Chris Brown was being detained in Paris, France for rape allegations. In the wake of Lifetime’s Surviving R Kelly and the #MeToo Movement, the internet did not take the allegations against R&B singer Chris Brown lightly. Press sites and social media quickly began to denounce the singer and bring up his criminal past. Brown’s 2009 domestic violence case was highly publicized, along with his other run-ins with the law and tumultuous relationships. Despite his rocky past, in recent years Chris Brown has been staying out of the media and trouble. Many believe this can be attributed to his new role as a father to his daughter Royalty Brown.

#MeToo Moves Forward but Why Do We Still Support Chris Brown?
The #MeToo movement has made some major moves in the way the world looks at sexual assault, and for the most part, things seem to be moving forward, however, the music industry has turned a blind eye to certain artists' past discrepancies, while we're all distracted with Hollywood. Since I’ve been alive, music has had a long history of objectifying women and using sexuality to sell records. Now with the #MeToo movement, it seems as if we are beginning to hold the powerful accountable for their actions, and calling people out, but that is not always the case. Male artists who have been caught and convicted of assault against women remain at the top of the charts and unscathed by a movement that has shaken the country.

An Open Letter to Roseanne Barr
Dear Roseanne, The new season of The Conners has spurred me to write to you. I've been so upset with you ever since the reboot of your self-titled show. You see, I grew up with you as a secondary mother. Your television family was a reflection of my family, and your parenting lessons echoed my mother's. You were the first feminist woman I saw blazing a path with no regard to those she upset. You were revolutionary to girls of my age.

Why Ariana Grande is Changing the Status Quo of Women and Mental Health
Ariana Grande recently released her new album, Sweetener, and just announced her US Tour dates for the Sweetener World Tour. Her career is skyrocketing right now and she deserves to be recognized beyond the mere fact that her and Pete Davidson have split.

Jean Harlow
These days, when people think of a "Bombshell," they immediately think of Marilyn Monroe, or the recent Netflix documentary about Hedy Lamarr. However, we're focusing on the blondes. And while Marilyn is equally talented and gorgeous, she had a blonde bombshell predecessor... Her name was Jean Harlow.
The Future of Willow Creek?
Most people who consider themselves part of the church community are already aware of the allegations against Willow Creek's former teaching pastor, Bill Hybels. However, the publicity of these accusations has spread far beyond the megachurch. Through media, the #MeToo movement was a major power player in reviving what the church tried to bury nearly eight years back... but what does any of this have to do with Reverend Steve Carter's sudden resignation?
Are Celebrity Deaths Presented Differently in the Media According to Gender?
My piece will investigate how the media—specifically the style of newspaper typically referred to as a ‘broadsheet’—portrays celebrities after their deaths and whether or not their gender affects the lexis used. Throughout this piece I will be analysing obituaries about four celebrities who have passed away fairly recently, two of them male and two of them female. I will then compare the lexis used between each, making reference to and providing evidence for any similarities and differences found.
