Hilary Duff’s “Haters” isn’t just pop fluff—it’s a case study in how teen melodrama borrows the language of genocide and geopolitics to make borrowed clothes sound like a broken treaty.

Victoria Beckham vs. Rupert Holmes: A Soft-Rock Love Story in Duplicate

I was going to write that Victoria Beckham’s “That Kind of Girl” is just like Rupert Holmes’s “Escape (The Piña Colada Song)”—only with champagne instead of piña colada—but then, listening back to …
