Writing credits
I've got a problem about writing credits on the site. People like Billy Joel or David Bowie usually write their own songs and are credited as such but acts like The Spice Girls are credited as writers as a group instead of individually. I think it would be better if they were credited on the site as

Add biography of the production designers and directors of photography
When you click on a director, actor or actress, you'll find everything about them. Where they've studied, where they graduated, when did their acting career began, etc. But when you want to know the story of an art director, a production designer or a director of photography, you just find a descrip

Unrelated news headlines
Any way you can stop having People or other news agencies' headlines that aren't related to entertainment from appearing in the news feed? The provided example is minor in comparison, but for over a year (at least), when I get to the Celebs section of the newsfeed, there have been numerous instances
