Side Eye: Entertainment News

Side Eye tracks what gets said about people — and what happens to it next. Most entertainment apps hand you a feed. Side Eye hands you a record. WHAT MOVED, NOT WHAT'S NEW The first thing you see isn't the latest stories. It's the claims whose status changed: the report that got confirmed this morning, the rumour someone denied this afternoon. A claim is only interesting once you know what became of it. EVERY CLAIM HAS A STATUS Reported. Confirmed. Denied. Retracted. When coverage moves, the claim moves with it — and the old status stays on the record rather than quietly disappearing. You can see not just what was said, but whether it held up, and who stood it up. OPEN A NAME, NOT A HEADLINE Search a person and you get their file: every claim on record about them, what happened to each one, and which outlet reported it. The file only gets better with age. Five years from now it will still be there, and it will be longer. SOURCED, NEVER ASSERTED Side Eye reports what other outlets reported, and names them. We don't claim our own sources, because we don't have any. Every story lists the publications it draws on, every claim names the outlet that made it, and nothing is published about a named person without attribution. AI, DISCLOSED Our columnists are AI, and each one tells you so on its own page, in plain words, before you read a line. Stories are AI-assisted and human-edited. Photographs are real, licensed, and credited to the photographer. WHAT WE WON'T DO We don't report unadjudicated criminal allegations as fact. We don't publish about minors. We don't turn a rumour into a finding by dropping the word "reportedly". Free to read. No ads, no subscriptions, no in-app purchases.
