You just let me know the next time you're in LA and we'll do that.

Here’s a rarely seen bit of 24 karat Goldie that should put a smile on anyone’s face.

That’s not about the Jewish vote- it’s to lure in the Fundamentalist Christian crowd. (The Jewish vote is a baked-in 80- 90% lock for Democrats)

He's not selling his soul. It's a goddamn tv show, and it's his job to make money off such projects. I sincerely doubt anyone at Jezebel wouldn't jump at the chance if CBS (or even some third tier cable channel) offered them a deal based on the snarky Jez videos.

“Bigotry and hateful rhetoric—in any form—have no place in the Republican Party...” Oh, Kevin McCarthy made a funny.

This is disgraceful. Seberg’s story is compelling enough without fictionalizing it. Hard pass.

I was just offering a few highly paid, high profile major media examples (some of whom may be quite good, but they wouldn’t be where they are without the boost of their names). But by all means, let’s list them all!

I stand corrected. Mossimo is no longer sold at Target, but is still held by Iconix, the specialty brand investment company, who will, no doubt, resurrect it in due time. After all, the infamous Hugo Boss* name was resurrected, so anything’s possible.

Thirteen years later this column resurfaces, but I’ll add a memorable one: 50 years before Schitt’s Creek,  ABC gave us the rich-folks-go-broke story of THE PRUITTS OF SOUTHAMPTON (retitled THE PHYLLIS DILLER SHOW for season 2). The witty opening gives the whole setup, with the inimitable Ms Diller singing the story.

Giannulli is the one with the really big bucks, and while perhaps some people might resist buying Mossimo labelled clothes at Target, most won’t care (or not make the connection), and he’ll still be reaping millions in licensing fees (he sold the company to them for $200m about ten years ago, but is still entitled to

Yes! He was very funny and willing to laugh at his own persona. It was not the sort of thing most up and coming 22 year olds would have the self-awareness and security to play with, but he appeared to be having a blast in that role, and was a great part of that show (which had to be even tougher what with replacing

The condom shortage is mainly because most condoms are made in Malaysia, and cross-Pacific shipping ground to a halt at the end of February. 

That previous lowest birth rate 35 years ago, came amid a similar zeitgeist. Reagan was president (and slashing social safety nets and healthcare left and right), the cold war was at a peak with universal fear of the irrational buildup of nuclear weapon stockpiles, interest rates were in double digits, and the job

Anyone who’s followed the details of Hunter Biden’s employment by Burisma can plainly see there’s no malfeasance there beyond the intenational nepotism (“let’s hire the American with the globally famous name”) that initially secured him the job. Of course, of all the corporate ethics lawyers in the world he got the

I pointed out earlier today that legal scholar Glenn Kirschner said that this is ‘negligent genocide’ (a mix of extant laws against negligent homicide and genocide - which heretofore hadn’t been conjoined). But I said that because they are fully aware of what they’re doing, it’s just premeditated mass murder - nothing

They didn’t have to do anything. The tracker found the cluster of signals at the statehouses, then tracked how they moved after the “protests” broke up. Many of them, it turns out, were from out of state.

Legal expert Glenn Kirschner has been calling the GOP handling of the pandemic (both federal and state) NEGLIGENT GENOCIDE, but I think at this point it’s just straight-up MASS MURDER, because they're quite specifically cognizant of what they're doing to engineer all the inevitable death.

She can leave the husband and kids, but she can't get the butterflies off her back.

About 23 years ago, I awoke one day to find that during the night, I had had what was subsequently diagnosed as a retinal aneurysm (a tiny capillary burst in the back of my eye). As a result, there was a microscopic blood drop on the optic nerve behind the retina. For three years, what I saw from that one eye was like

He’s already more corrupt than Harding - and Harding had long been the low bar for presidential corruption, so perhaps he’ll use the same prosecution-avoidance route.
