Came across this Vine on Twitter — of Jenny Beavan making her way to the podium after winning Best Costume Design for Mad Max: Fury Road — and I must have watched it 10X over. No one was clapping, presumably because of the “horror” of a woman clearly not interested in glamming herself up. It’s infuriating but here’s…

Thank-you for saying this, and same goes for others in this thread who’ve added their 2 cents. I’d been sitting here muttering: Kanye, of all the apostles to praise and single out for respect, you had to go and choose..... St. Paul?!?

True, but he’s lived in Canada for 15 years, is married to a Montrealer — Régine Chassagne, with whom he co-founded Arcade Fire — and has all intentions of attaining Canadian citizenship. Despite getting cut-off by ESPN, he managed to get in a mention of his hope that the federal government fast-tracks his citizenship…

Actually, you’re the correct one. Here’s the explanation I sent to Doofenschmirtz, containing a link from Maclean’s that — among other things — explains the rationale behind conducting two separate trials. It makes sense, too.

Not true. The second trial is set for some time in June of this year. It’s being held separately because it will focus on an alleged case of sexual assault in the CBC workplace. The current trial, on the other hand, is dealing with women who had social relationships with Ghomeshi. With the CBC workplace-related trial,…

By all accounts, Natasha Richardson was the love of Liam Neeson’s life and he the love of hers. Somehow I cared about them as a couple, so it’s instinctive to want him to find contentment and fulfillment in all aspects of his life as a widower and father.

And here I thought Teresa’s maggots-in-the-rice prison-grub story was enough to put me off my lunch. Ayoye, your suggestion’s more, erm, “enduring”.

Thanks so much, Madeleine, for giving serious coverage to what is not exclusively a women’s health issue. Male breast cancer can be a horrific disease, particularly when it’s not properly diagnosed.

Unfortunately, it does matter, primarily because the e-mails were not revealed or even mentioned to either the police or the Crown prosecution team. I’m firmly on the side of Jian Ghomeshi’s accusers but it’s the withholding of information that’s given the lead defence attorney something to seize on and appears to…

This is great (the Brown Twitter reaction, that is). I follow Scaachi, so her threads have been interesting, to say the least.

I realize it’s the complete opposite deal come summertime but I immediately thought of the limited daylight hours this time of year in Yukon and the Alaska border area. It’s not hard to imagine how your Vitamin D levels can suffer as a result.

Indeed.

Well, that and shortage of sunlight/daylight a good part of the year.

For what it’s worth, I did too. It’s a logical segue, to my mind, when you see Yukon and “D” in the same headline but, hey, that’s just me. And you, thank Christ. ;=)

But did it? I’m a Canadian, active on social media, and the first I’m hearing of this is on an American website?

I take it you’re another person who remembers Richard Lawson from his days writing for Gawker?

Aw, I do too! I was wondering if anyone would make the connection — it seemed rather convoluted to explain — so I’m glad you did. No surprise, it turns out he’s a first-rate tweeter.

Julie Delpy’s words are remarkably tone-deaf but I’m more disappointed in Charlotte Rampling — and “disappointed” is me using polite language — because I’ve actually appreciated the chances she’s taken as a film actress over the years.

I know it’s Céline but I don’t think any family would turn down the offer of a national funeral — one step down from a state funeral — from the Québec provincial government. It’s quite reminiscent of when Jean Béliveau died, except Béliveau’s public viewing was held at the Bell Centre as opposed to the church where…
