Totally agree with you in principle, though this is based on the Laurel Hester case, and she was a lot older than her partner, I think. (though she may have just looked older than she actually was when she died, since cancer pretty much ravages you.)

Probably when this sort of arrangement is working, it just sort of chugs along without any kind of public announcement. It's when it fails that everyone becomes aware of it.

If Harvey Weinstein treats his lunch in the company cafeteria as "personal time," then I'll eat his necktie. Yes, what she did sounds rude and tone-deaf, but it's possible to be rude without being a damn sociopath.

Weirder still that he refers to those things as if they weren't parts of his job. When you're paid to star in a movie or TV show, publicity IS part of the work you're being paid to do. Stuff like Letterman is part of the gig.

It's almost as if he went up to the one black woman in his yoga class and asked her to articulate her experience.

Absolutely. Which was a real disservice to him, as well, because ultimately one stopped thinking about all the cool things he actually did, and just thought of him as some kind of mythical stand-in for all black people.

I came on here to see if anyone else had that experience. My 98% white school COULD NOT GET ENOUGH George Washington Carver when it came to black history. When I say how disproportionate this was, it is not meant to denigrate Carver's very real (and super-interesting) accomplishments, but it was almost as if there was…

Aw, I remember when I was about that age and my OCD first showed up. Memories!

Yeah, I don't get what we're supposed to conclude from this post—maybe her sister was selling JR out to the tabloids. It wouldn't be the first time something like that has happened in the world. And maybe she really just didn't get along with her—some people are hard to get along with. Not getting along with her…

Sexy Rainy sounds like a dirty Cabbage Patch Kid.

Precisely! Though she seems pretty tied to Ranea. What do we think the chances are that that's pronounced like "Renée"?

It's "kinda" like her personality?? Because if I were going to go through the trouble of a first-name change, I would pick something that I felt a little more solidly tied-to. Not something that only occasionally applies, like "Asleep" or "Cranky" or "Feels Like Salmon for Dinner, Maybe"

I think there's a law that this biopic can't be mentioned without bringing up the coolest bit of related trivia: that Patsy Kensit played Daisy Buchanan (Mia Farrow's) little daughter in the 1974 GREAT GATSBY movie. WEIRD!

Also, that bag is not small. Is the baby meant to be carried IN the bag? Does he shove it in some kind of baby hope chest and wait until he's old enough for a murse? Or—God help us—is that a diaper bag??

God, amazing. Just the BRISKNESS. "Yep, yep, yep, yep, all right, here we goooo....THERE, now we're all squared away."

Are there people who actually listen to Meme Roth? I thought she was basically a sideshow act.

"Tinkle: don't worry, it only sounds like a package of pee!"

Actually, no. Being honest, I would not expect that a female celeb would shave her face. But there's always something new to hate about our appearances, I guess!

Huh. You know, I certainly was not saying that the qualities of softness, paleness, or sweetness are somehow inherently uncute, which I feel compelled to explain because I hate the thought of insulting someone. But at the same time I resent this feeling of needing to explain because I can't imagine why it would seem…
