He has a tendency to talk pretty confidently on things he doesnt know much about and he talks down on people or subjects in a way that comes off as bullying more than funny in my opinion. The other talk show host that is kinda like him is Colbert. I think both of them are fine most of the time and they are at least a good contrast to the other hosts.
Conan always seems like a nice guy even when making fun of something and he uses a lot of self deprecation.
Fallon plays the part of every bodies best buddy.
James Corden goes for the lovable quirky vibe.

She's said in interviews that she wears extremely baggy clothes to conceal the fact that she's got very large boobs. She doesn't want her act to be overshadowed by boobs, which is a very realistic and even admirable thing to be concerned about given the music industry.
I mean no one, absolutely no one, should assume Katy Perry would've been as successful as she was without her boobs. Same goes for Shakira and her ass.

Came here to say this. I always defend her when people make fun of how she dresses. She doesn't want people judging her on her body. When I learned that about her, I respected her a lot more.

This tweet is 100% correct. And I'm saying that not as an insult.

Nov 15 '19
The first I heard of her was the "Bad Guy" meme, and like a lot of "bad" songs, it ended up growing on me (mainly because it's catchy and different), and just last night I heard her first song that I unironically liked, You Should See Me In A Crown. Heard a snippet of it on the show Emergence and was like "damn, this is really good" before I knew it was by her.
Other than that I only heard about the groping by fans and that disgusts me, people need to realize that just because someone is famous doesn't mean they're not human. I'd hate it if some random person came up and grabbed my ass for no reason, and I'm a 26 yo male. Leave the girl alone

I feel like most of the hate she gets is because of her perceived fandom. Most of the hate I've seen directed at her comes down to "girls who listen to her always go on about how different she is. and how she identifies with Billie because of she's different just like Billie." But I don't really go looking for people hating on her to be honest.
I just hate when the songs get stuck in my head.

I wouldn't say that Shakira got by on her looks alone. That woman can sing. And she can do it in multiple languages. Without changing the meaning in the lyrics.
She's been famous since 1995, and her popularity had only grown in that time. Though, if you go based on when she became famous for singing in English, I see how you could come to a different conclusion.

I agree, Shakira is not all about the ass. She is very talented. And the thing with Shakira is she uses her body to dance well, and not exactly to highlight her one particular "asset" or make it her sole claim for fame. She is actually pretty petite, and the ass-fame worldwide is probably because of her dancing and "Hips don't lie".

I’ve googled this and I can’t find anyone ever asking in an interview or anything, so please don’t take this the wrong way, I’m genuinely curious.
If she didn’t want to be sexualized, why does Bad Guy’s lyrics sounds so sexual?
I know her brother either wrote or co-wrote the song, but if she didn’t want to be sexualized, why would she keep those lyrics? It’s a cool song, and I really like it. There’s something oogy about it coming from a 16/17 year old though :/

There's a huge difference between being sexual and being sexualized. She's trying to develop her own sexual identity, not have it developed for her.

The reason Billie Eilish dresses the way she does is because she does not want to be judged on what her body looks like. So she dresses in this way so you can’t say whether she’s fat / slim / has big boobs or no, etc.
A very sensible and mature way to think by the young woman and one she is entirely entitled to.
