.....pretty sure this rock god would consider Swift & Perry some new fish ‘n chip sauce.

I wouldn’t fret: Margaret Atwood’s writing is not for everyone, especially genre-wise. In fact, I was aiming to focus equally on how wonderful a presence she is on Twitter. She comes across as a remarkably vital 75-year-old: enthusiastic and engaged; clever and witty, yet never snarky or condescending. (Except,…

Heck, I’ll even read her restaurant reviews, if/when I come across them, because they’re so entertaining. (That says a lot about her writing talent because I’m on the other side of “the pond”).

Now that you mention it..... oh yeah, that dark under-eye liner is a rather hard look and, in both their cases, completely unnecessary. There’ve been a few times where I’ve wondered if that eye-liner can be tattoed-on.

I’ll back you up on that. By pure coincidence, the one and only time I got a slap on the wrist for body-shaming (more like face-shaming, when you really get down to it) happened just after the Royal Wedding when I made a flyaway comment suggesting that Princess Beatrice and Jerry Seinfeld might have been…

Gulp. That last sentence made me do a double-take. Poor you! Especially since you probably had to “save up” to buy the album.

Yeah, I would not have recognized that detail on my own but enough commenters brought up that one point that it eventually did register with me.

I’d starting paying attention if/when The Thin White Duke weighed in and had a little word with Princess Bubblegum about songs titled “1984”. I’m sure he’s above this brand of pettiness/silliness/PR shenanigans but a David Bowie-versus-Katy Perry feud? Now that would be something to behold.

That point was raised quite a few times on NVC’s article. Over the weekend, though, I noticed a number of remarks to the effect that the time stamps had since been blurred out. I didn’t bother to check, so I can’t confirm whether that was/is the case or not.

Frankly, I’m more distracted by the (seriously unflattering) lead — or perhaps it’s “lede” — photo.

Grace Dent is seldom not in fine form, with this KatedoeseasyJet-gate wrap-up being no exception. Thanks for sharing this!

Why not send an e-mail with a detailed link to tips@jezebel.com or contact one of the writers directly? That’d surely be your best bet since your comment is bound to get buried in this gossip column. Good luck!

It’s crazy, right?

I’m neither Irish or British but, FWIW, I’ve always regarded Graham Norton as Irish. That’s it, that’s all.

Good point and an important one, too. I’d known about the literary time capsule project — it was first announced sometime last year — but it became newsworthy again within the past two weeks when Margaret Atwood visited Norway to deliver her manuscript to the Future Library vault.

I’m with you on the (excellent) Sha-Na-Na reject observation even though my own gut reaction was more along the lines of:

Yes, I was aware of that, which is what I was getting at when I remarked that I (also) found it “derivative”.

I’m guessing if Ms. Sulkowicz had titled the video This Is Not A Rape — which is what Ceci N’Est Pas Un Viol means in English — the preamble to this piece of performance art would have lost some of its indefinability, its je ne sais quoi. It certainly made me a lot less curious and even more inclined (than I already…

Although I know that Rosemary Clooney was his aunt and I realize that his father would have been pretty well-known, locally and even regionally, as a journalist, T.V. anchorman and talk show host, I’ve never gotten the impression that George Clooney came from wealth or that his parents were celebrities.

Yeah, I’d actually picked up on the fact that you weren’t going on about her weight, so I was careful to aim for as matter-of-fact a response as possible. With that said, it’s definitely fair to say that cancer treatment can take its toll on how one looks.
