Is This Really Leaked Avengers 4 Promotional Art?

Thanos in Invinity War
Despite set pics that have fueled internet speculation for months, we still know very little about Avengers 4, but a movie event of that size will inevitably come with a similarly massive marketing push, and that's likely to provide some fodder for our overactive imaginations. In fact, it may have done so already, if art making the rounds on the internet is, indeed, the real deal.

Better Limber Up for More Bending and Snapping, Because Legally Blonde 3 Is Officially in the Works!

Reese Witherspoon as Elle Woods in 'Legally Blonde'
I'll be honest. After seeing and loving the first Legally Blonde film back in the day, I never saw Legally Blonde 2: Red, White, and Blonde. Mostly because Holy Craptastic Title, Batman! However, I would definitely love to revisit the life of my favorite exuberant fictional lawyer. Well, Reese Witherspoon is currently in talks to reprise the role in Legally Blonde 3! OMG, you guys!

Things We Saw Today: The Disney Princesses Are Ready to Rumble in the Wreck-It Ralph 2 Trailer

wreck-it ralph 2
The first official trailer for Ralph Breaks the Internet: Wreck-It Ralph 2 dropped today, and it already looks like a good time. The film takes Ralph and Vanellope to the big busy world of the internet, where they get chased by Stormtroopers, pestered by a nerdy search engine, and meet Eeyore. The standout moment by far though, is when Vanellope sneaks into the Disney princess dressing room.

Gays of Our Lives: South of Nowhere Taught Me What Women Kissing Can Look Like

spashley-spencer-and-ashley
Along with Rent, the teen show, South of Nowhere was among the first times, in my early life I saw a lesbian couple being treated with real humanity. From 2005 to 2008, the show told the story of the Carlin family, Paula, Arthur, Glen, Clay, and Spencer, as they settle into their new home in Los Angeles, California. The most important part of the story was the iconic relationship between Spencer Carlin and Ashely Davies.

Serena Williams is the Greatest Athlete Ever, so Stop Bothering Her With Stupid Questions, Okay?

Serena Williams
Full Disclosure: I don't know anything about sports. I don't watch them, I don't follow athletes, and unless they're dating Jennifer Lopez, chances are I'll have no idea who they are. I'm what you might call an "indoor girl". Let's just say there's a reason I'm writing for The Mary Sue and not Deadspin. But while I never lettered in school, I am at the varsity level for feminist rage, so let's do this.

Harvard Law Student and Single Mom Briana Williams Gets Law Degree After Taking Final Exam While in Labor

Happy smiling baby
If one were to adhere to commonly accepted narratives about women, education, career, and motherhood, one would believe that getting pregnant and having a baby as a single mother is a surefire way to "ruin one's life." Briana Williams thought that was nonsense, and she wasn't about to let a tiny thing like "going into labor" keep her from taking her final exam at Harvard Law School.

What Are the Weird, Never-Before-Seen Pokémon the Internet Is in Love With?

who's that Pokémon screen
Video game news is working itself up to fever pitch right now as E3 2018 approaches, with pre-show game announcements accompanied by the usual surge of leaks, leaving everyone to wonder just what we have left to see during the actual show. (Still probably a lot.) For the second year in a row, we got some pre-E3 Pokémon news out of Nintendo, including several new game announcements, but fans' imaginations have been captured instead by the series' past—a part of it that never happened.
