...and also from working for Putin and his merry mob all these years. They like to watch.

Hydroxychloroquine may give him angina, but not “feeling that others are watching you or controlling your behavior; feeling that others can hear your thoughts; feeling, seeing, or hearing things that are not there" - those he's already got from snorting Adderall for twenty years.

I’m sorry that you had to endure this, I’m very glad you’ve recovered from it, and I hope that you’ll avoid any long-term residual damage.

Anyone who watched Feud:Bette & Joan knows that sometimes you have to shoot (or reshoot) the beach scene inside...

The Barbra Streisand - Pierre Trudeau affair was brief but real; they remained friends for the rest of his life (and she’s been a vocal supporter of Justin). Here’s a great read on that one:

It was taken when he came to visit her rehearsing on a stage at Columbia Studios in Hollywood 1973 (probably working on “Funny Lady").

The Azoffs also own the iconic Beverly Hills deli Nate ‘n Al’s, which was slated to close last month, but has been saved. So good for Irving and Shelli Azoff; these places are beloved West LA institutions (both were endangered by ever-escalating Westside rent) and they’ve managed to keep these old favorites going.

And these two - did they ever have an affair? (There have been rumors for years, which neither has ever quashed)

“...some restaurant in Los Angeles called the Apple Pan.” FYI, The Apple Pan is a gem; a landmark West LA burger joint. Unchanged since 1947, it’s the kind of place you’d expect to find a femme fatale straight out of a James M. Cain film noir, like Joan Crawford as Mildred Pierce or Lana Turner in The Postman Always…

Did you say Divine justice?

Yet another sad day for yet another American cultural landmark: for the first time in nearly a century, the HOLLYWOOD BOWL has cancelled the entire summer season (June-Oct) for the Bowl and the smaller John Anson Ford Amphitheater across the street. I suppose they were holding out for a truncated (perhaps Sept - Oct)…

It feels like there are a lot of missing pieces of the stories in both the Sarkozy and Praeger divorces; it is hard to know what’s really going on with either of them. Both reports seem based on whichever party’s divorce lawyer’s publicist got their message out to friendly media first. Rich people and acrimonious…

I absolutely love it. I wish every restaurant would fill alternating tables with stylish yet silent mannequins. They look better than the ubiquitous slobs dining out at fancy restaurants nowadays.

Angina with teeth.

Looks like the heart of Dixie has angina.

“Hero doesn’t feel an apt enough description for Aimee Stephens...” Perhaps ‘heroine’ would be more apt, and acknowledge her womanhood.

Must mention the Anita Bryant pie in the face...

If scarcity increases the value of these shirts, imagine what John Oliver’s shirt drawer is worth now.

These swingy bench things were ubiquitous in suburban backyards back then, and many fingers were damaged by them.  But the question here is: would anyone today do them the reverence of wearing (as in fig 1) 5 strands of pearls while lounging or, even stranger, (fig 2) wearing culottes with panty hose (how cozy)?
