Uncuffed: 9 Anti-Cuffing SZN Songs To Blast This Cuffing Cycle

Source: Alexei Cruglicov / Getty The weather is changing. The coats are getting heavier. The sun goes down earlier. And the desire to be cuddled up, spending time with the one you like is at an all time high.   In millennial lingo, we summarize all those feels with one term: Cuffing Season. It feels like we were just flipping burgers on the grill for Labor Day — now folks are scanning their recent dating rosters to see who’s good enough to spend the majority of their time with for the next eight months or so. One Twitter user joked , “It’s cuffing season baby. time to lose ur sense of self and merge identities w another person bc it’s cold outside.” While some folks are scrambling to decide between their top three eligible candidates — some of us are just fine staying aboard the “single and lovin’ it” train. Bustle recently did an article on why Cuffing Season is an awesome time to be single, and it brought up many valid points. Heather Ebert , a dating and relationship expert at WhatsYourPrice.com, told the site, “Cuffing season is, in part, a result of societal pressure dating. A lot of it has to do with singles not wanting to show up alone when they go home for the holidays. Some people want to be showered with gifts … others just want to cuddle up next to someone to stay warm.” She added, “It’s easy to get caught up in the hype of cuffing season and rush to settle down for the winter.  But those romances are unlikely to outlast the cold because they’re rushed and usually not met with intentions of lasting any longer. Instead of focusing on settling down for the last part of the year, spend some time on yourself and with your family.”   It’s not just the experts who say Cuffing Season is nothing but hype. Shy_Charles recently tweeted, “Not being funny but cuffing season isn’t really a thing, is it? Like yeah the nights draw in and it’s Christmas and that but you’ve got Valentine’s straight after and then summer romances after that! Every season is cuffing season, let’s just be serious.”  Let’s do something a little different this go round, and celebrate the uncoupled and uncuffed this year with seriously Anti-Cuffing Season songs. If you’re super single, feel free to add your own to the list. via GIPHY

Jada Pinkett Smith Hints at Open Marriage with Will

So much for talk of a Will Smith divorce due to infidelity. In an interview with The Huffington Post this week, Jada Pinkett Smith implied that it would be impossible for one side of her relationship to cheat on the other… because they have an open marriage! Sort of! “I think that people get that idea because Will and I are very relaxed with one another,” the actress said of the open marriage rumor. “But I’ve always told Will: You can do whatever you want as long as you can look at yourself in the mirror and be okay.” Jada, of course, was the one accused of cheating with Marc Anthony not long after the latter singer split from Jennifer Lopez. But Smith made it sound like her marriage is strong, referring to Will as her “best friend” and emphasizing the freedom each allows the other to enjoy: “At the end of the day, Will is his own man. I’m here as his partner, but he is his own man. He has to decide who he wants to be and that’s not for me to do for him. Or vice versa.” Jada Pinkett Smith also made her voice heard a couple weeks ago, sticking up for Justin Bieber and Taylor Swift in the face of those young stars facing a lot of criticism.

Roger Ebert Dies; Film Critic Succumbs to Cancer at 70

Roger Ebert, a movie critic whose sharp wit and depth of knowledge delighted millions of readers and viewers, has died of cancer at the age of 70. Ebert, who reviewed films for the Chicago Sun-Times for 46 years and on TV for 31 years, was America’s most prominent and influential critic. He had been in poor health for years, battling cancers of the thyroid and salivary gland. He lost part of his lower jaw in 2006, and with it the ability to speak or eat. That calamity that would have driven other men from the public eye, but Ebert refused to hide, instead forging what became a new chapter in his career. His chronicle of his devastating illness won him a new generation of admirers, and his positive attitude never waned or became tinged with bitterness. Always tech-savvy – he was an early investor in Google – Ebert let the Internet be his voice, and his website, rogerebert (dot) com, had millions of fans. His Twitter feeds had 827,000 followers, a remarkable achievement for a man whose peer group, on the whole, doesn’t even use the social network. Even more remarkable? Ebert was both widely popular and professionally respected. He had a Pulitzer Prize and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. He was the first critic to achieve either, and the same year Ebert won the Pulitzer, 1975, he also launched his television program with Gene Siskel. As a tandem, Siskel and Ebert reviewed as many as 285 films a year and their program became nearly as influential as the movies themselves. Two thumbs up.
