“As a tribute to the Queen of Soul, I would like to blame her for my being here today.”

This doesn’t surprise me. Cycles of abuse are self-perpetuating. I’m surprised more people aren’t pointing out how distressingly similar the details of this assault are to her allegation against Weinstein: the grooming and isolating of the victim, providing alcohol before attacking etc. It’s infuriating to think…

My assumption is that this was a few people burning the last little bit of their MoviePass. Like, I didn’t *need* to see Black Panther four times in theaters, but when someone else is footing the bill? Why not?

As for guitarists, I don’t really have an absolute all-time favourite. He’s definitely top class though. I tend to think there’s a level of excellence where I find it hard to judge who’s really the best.

I think it is his family that is behind this.  He was so anti streaming.  But that is what happens when you don’t leave a will. 

Yeah, odd that they had to read this quote:

Yeah, he actually said exactly the right thing in that case. They aren’t paying her more because they don’t want to, not because they CAN’T, and that has nothing to do with him.

Yeah I really don’t think he said anything wrong. They should be able to pay her more. I’m sure she’d prefer to make as much money as West rather than for them to both make what she does but you can’t really say that, god forbid. They can afford both of them and I think his statement is supportive.

Yep. Labor (actors, in this case) shouldn’t have to take cuts so management (studios) don’t have to treat pay more.

Yeah, I was confused by what was being side-eyed in that comment.

Not long after that interview, Dominic West publicly supported Wilson’s comments and said he’d take a pay cut for a woman co-star on an indie project “as long as resources are limited.” West told Variety, “But in a long-running TV show money is not a problem and there’s no excuse for it.” Hmm, okay.

So another white celebrity is squawking about how they just sit by and listen while a more racist white person throws around slurs? And how they sat on this information all this time and said nothing while Orange ran for president?

Wow... I did not know that the total cost for that abortive rally was $2.6 MILLION....

That doesn’t seem like enough. If you kid is a Nazi, you HAVE to disown and disinherit them completely.

I don’t think that making sure your once beloved drunk ass ex and the father of your children is okay before the cord is cut qualifies as “insanely controlling”. It’s not my intent to argue, which is pointless because neither of us (I assume) knows these people from Adam. It just seems that she is concerned, and…

A positive part of his kid’s lives, not the who’s-taking-Dad-for-the-holidays, yes-he’s-going-to-bring-up-donating-a-portion-of-your-liver-to-him kind.

I dunno. When I was in rehab a LOT of people went through divorces while still drinking because their spouse was sick of their shit. I think giving him the chance to be fully present for the matter is a favor. I’m sure she’d like to move on earlier rather than later, plus as someone else pointed out he’ll get MORE…

I don’t think the writer was expressing arrogance as much as an eagerness to make a mark and have a unique voice. Developing your voice takes time. This reads like the work of a newer writer, who hasn’t developed the confidence to work the “voice” stuff in sparingly. It’s the same problem with chefs...when they’re…

I actually think this is the best album Nicki has put out, possibly ever. Don’t get me wrong: her mixtapes were unmatched (to this day), but her actual albums have always fallen short for me because of much of what you describe here.

Azealia’s compulsion to drag anyone and everyone for no reason has done nothing for her career, but has made my Dirt Bag reading time infinitely more enjoyable. Her one-sided beefs are hilarious.
