Today in Men Make Excuses, the head of E! Entertainment, Frances Berwick, cited everything from “misinformation” to the role of “expertise” as reasons for the controversy over female host Catt Sadler getting paid nearly half as much as her male counterpart, Jason Kennedy.
Sadler left her long-standing position at E! late last month after becoming aware of the enormous pay gap and decided to take a stand as the industry’s culture of misogyny faces a seismic shift.

Debra Messing definitively proved that the women of Hollywood are absolutely done being silent.
The Will and Grace star wasn’t afraid to let things get necessarily awkward when she kicked off her E! Golden Globes red carpet interview by calling out the network for its own hypocrisy with gender equality.
It began when host Giuliana Rancic asked her about the hottest topic of the night and past several months in: the industry — and world’s — reckoning with sexual harassment and assault. The two quickly got into the Time’s Up movement — a legal defense fund and group that hundreds of stars joined. Read more…
