So, How Was Your 2020? is a series in which our favorite entertainers answer our questionnaire about the music, culture and memorable moments that shaped their year. We’ll be rolling these pieces out throughout December.
2020 started off on a good note for Eric Burton of Black Pumas, as the Austin, Texas duo were nominated for Best New Artist at the 2020 Grammys. Then the Covid-19 pandemic happened, but that didn’t stop the band’s momentum: They’ve since been nominated for the 2021 Grammys’ Record of the Year for “Colors” off their 2019 self-titled debut,...

I am a game show zealot. I believe in the umber glow of Chuck Woolery and the sneering capabilities of Paul Lynde. I'm also a rabid fan of trivia; I was on "Jeopardy!" a couple weeks ago and Gsn's "The Chase" before that. Every time network TV rolls out a new primetime trivia-based game show, I'm listening and hopeful and there -- and I have three spring-loaded requests: 1) Please, Jesus, anything but more "Who Wants to be a Millionaire?"-type lighting; 2) Good lord, no more multiple choice questions; 3) Make me love you, new show. I want to love you. Embrace me, you child. Last year we got the Ryan Seacrest-hosted "Million Second Quiz," a multiple-choice bonanza with "Millionaire" lighting that was tedious and unchallenging (read: not lovable). You can understand my devastation there. "500 Questions" is this year's new primetime trivia attempt. Hosted by CNN journalist Richard Quest, "500 Questions" airs...

New York, May 5: Straight men look at penises while watching porn, an author has claimed.
'A Billion Wicked Thoughts: What the Internet Tells Us About Sexual Relationships' co-author Ogi Ogas made a somewhat startling claim about straight men's use of the Internet during an appearance on HuffPost Live.
"We know from the numbers there's an overwhelming interest among heterosexual men to look at penises-the numbers are just enormous," the neuroscientist and scribe noted.
Ogas' book, co-written with fellow neuroscientist Sai Gaddam, aims to reveal the mechanics of sexual relationships, including the differences between male and female sexuality and the "teeming diversity" of human desire. (Ani)...

Anthony Weiner may insist his marriage to Huma Abedin will survive, but why did he risk it all for affairs with women he never met? Jessica Bennett offers nine scientific theories for why men cheat online.
The flirtations began three years ago-long before Anthony Weiner's marriage. But they continued after his wedding, making their way onto Twitter, Facebook, and presumably, elsewhere. There was the woman in Seattle who alleged she'd never met the man; a Jewish gal who reportedly told Weiner she gave a mean, ahem, oral service; and, allegedly, a Vegas blackjack dealer. Late Monday, we learned of a fourth source of Weiner's wandering joystick: a 26-year-old Texas single mom who says her relationship with the congressman began in April, culminating with "hundreds of messages," photos, and an interview with ABC News. "I asked him to take a picture and write 'me' on it so I would know [it was him]," the woman said.

People really are the same! Well, at least when it comes to men and porn.
Two neuroscientists, Ogi Ogas and Sai Gaddam, recently completed a systematic investigation of exactly what kind of “adult” material people search for when they’re online. And in their new book, A Billion Wicked Thoughts, they compile their results.
One thing that may surprise a lot of people? The interests of gay men and straight men were a lot alike – at least from a certain point of view.
Ogas recently discussed these findings in an interview with Salon.com:
The other interesting thing was how similar gay men and straight men are. We only found two significant differences between gay male sexuality and straight male sexuality. One, of course, is that gay men like men. The other is that gay men are more likely to enjoy the sexually submissive role than straight men. But other than that,...

Remember our friends from a couple of weeks ago, Ogi Ogas and Sai Gaddam? The ones who tried to argue that feminism ruined sex because it makes women less willing to be sexually submissive? Well, you can expect to hear a lot more about them over the next few weeks, as they have a book out: A Billion Wicked Thoughts: What the World's Largest Experiment Reveals about Human Desire. I can't tell if the experiment they're referring to in that subtitle is their own work or the existence of the internet, but given the general attitudes of the authors, I'm guessing it's the egomaniacal one. The book describes analysis of a billion internet searches about sex from around the world, and is being reported on as a scientific study. Which it ain't. Nobody in this day and age publishes scientific studies as books. They publish them as articles in peer-reviewed journals.
