    Vinay Menon is the Star’s pop culture columnist based in Toronto. Reach him via email: vmenon@thestar.ca They demand to be fed. They snooze all day, wherever they want. Maybe they will hop up on your lap as you watch Netflix. Maybe they won’t. It depends on mood, which toggles between vaguely curious and utterly disinterested. I direct your attention to new feline research. This does not come from National Geographic or the Veterinary Journal. So calibrate your scientific expectations accord

    Donald Trump is imploding. We shouldn't scorn his former fans — we should welcome them (opens the original)

    Vinay Menon is the Star’s pop culture columnist based in Toronto. Reach him via email: vmenon@thestar.ca A new genre is emerging in American media: voter remorse stories. The setting is a gas pump or grocery store. The reporter finds someone who voted for Donald Trump three times and asks questions. The subject, never wearing a red hat these days, grimaces, blinks rapidly and launches into some linguistic variant of, “I regret voting for him.” Recent headlines: “Trump Voter Reveals Deep

    Trump’s kryptonite isn't a lawsuit or a First Amendment violation. It’s when TV networks turn off the cameras (opens the original)

    Vinay Menon is the Star’s pop culture columnist based in Toronto. Reach him via email: vmenon@thestar.ca The only thing Donald Trump hates more than media coverage is no coverage. His brain is a funhouse in which gremlins ride unicycles while shouting, “FAKE NEWS!” Flatter the Mad King or risk his wrath. On Sept. 18, in a surprisingly low move even by his Mariana Trench depths, Trump banned CNN, MS NOW and Politico from the White House. The next morning, when journalists from those outlets

    Why Donald Trump is in a jealous rage after the EU invited Canada to become an 'associate member' (opens the original)

    Vinay Menon is the Star’s pop culture columnist based in Toronto. Reach him via email: vmenon@thestar.ca Now he’s in a jealous rage because we are dating Europe? No wonder this dope is on his third marriage. He doesn’t understand how relationships work. If I threatened my wife’s sovereignty and slapped a 50 per cent tariff on her lasagna, she’d now be on Tinder. It was stirring to watch Mark Carney strut around Strasbourg this week with the rizz and swagger of Alain Delon in “Plein S

    Vinay Menon is the Star’s pop culture columnist based in Toronto. Reach him via email: vmenon@thestar.ca Do we know Ed Sheeran’s views on anything? Over 15 years, the English singer-songwriter has conjured a public persona that flashes the neutrality of Switzerland. His nickname is Teddy. He holds his guitar like it may vanish if he aggressively strums cowboy chords. He resembles Chuckie Finster from the Rugrats. His mic oozes with good vibes. He is as political as a garden gnome in a bed of
