James Corden may be the ‘male Ellen’ but that means his career will likely be fine | Arwa Mahdawi

Women are consistently held to higher ethical standards than men, so the allegations about Corden's nasty behavior likely won't destroy him

It's not been a terribly good week to be British, has it? It's been pandemonium in the country itself and one of Britain's more famous exports has been making a disgrace of himself. I speak of James Corden, of course. The comedian, an English immigrant in LA, has been making headlines for some egg-ceptionally mean-spirited behaviour. He turned up to eat at Balthazar, a fancy New York restaurant, and was nasty to the waitstaff, according to Balthazar's owner, Keith McNally. In one incident he was extremely mean after he found a hair in his meal. In another he became apocalyptic because the staff got his wife's order of an egg yolk omelet wrong. There was a little bit of egg white in it apparently and we can't be having that can we?
