I wonder if it’s a chicken/egg scenario about her storyline on Grey’s. Did the writers hate Heigl so they took it out on her character? Bottom line is when Shonda Rhimes herself labels you as “difficult”, it’s gonna take a miracle to recover.

For me, I think it’s less that Aiden is boring than Aiden as portrayed by John Corbett is SUPER boring. I think a different, better actor would’ve made me care more about Aiden because on paper he had everything in his favor. He was an incredibly good guy treated horribly by the incredible asshole Carrie Bradshaw.

Sorry, but Meg Ryan should be the cautionary tale for any actress who feels pressured to go under the knife to recapture youth. Whoopi and Molly Shannon both look wonderful and normal sitting next to her and they’re roughly the same age as Meg.

Ridiculously, I’ve taken my fantasies one step further than you (and this woman). I’ve known for a long time you need to set up a trust. With a winning ticket, I’d walk to my nearby bank, pay for a safe deposit box, and put the ticket in there. Then I’d call my stock broker friend who has tons of financial/legal…

My mind went to Barbra Streisand in the Mirror Has Two Faces era, but Mariah and Liz “White Diamond” Taylor are excellent references. I feel like I have cataracts looking at that photo!

Completely agree. And I’ll add one thing. Almost every book dissecting her ‘08 and ‘16 campaigns have a common through line. She hires these people who create their own camps within her campaign. But when tension and conflict arises from the egos, she never wanted to deal with it. It was a pretty dysfunctional way to…

The appropriate comparison is to the Catholic Church. Do you blame church officials who shuffled priests from one parish to another when they abused children? The Church officials didn’t abuse the kids but when they found out about it, they just moved the priests somewhere else. In this case, her senior staff even…

The professions that come close are big budget movie directors and CEOs of major corporations. I think the (faulty) thought process is that things like huge movie productions, huge companies, NFL/NCAA teams are difficult to run as organizations. So they want someone who has run them before. As long as they’re…

That’s a fair point. He’s a big draw for the kind of movies he does (heroic American archetype) but it probably wouldn’t make a difference for a film like this, or could even be a deterrent. But I gotta say I live right along the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and his is the only star I consistently see people taking photos…

I’m more curious how much each one got paid for the movie itself. I’m sure Wahlberg undeservedly got more because he’s considered the bigger draw. I wonder if Spacey did too.

There’s a few guys I give a pass to for not directly addressing #metoo and Time’s Up. The first and biggest is the Lady Bird producer. He was smart enough to just give the microphone to Greta Gerwig without saying anything. Technically he won the award as the producer, but who wants to hear from him when Gerwig is on…

My concern is that there’s no television anywhere in sight. It looks like it’s designed to have guests over and you actually have to talk to them. I’m kidding...kind of. :)

The only modern day celebrity I can think of who could pull that awful dress off and have fun with it is Rihanna.

The funny thing is it’s not white people who are driving this. It’s Asia. Japan and South Korea together do a majority of the trading, followed by the US. And whenever China makes any move regarding cryptocurrency, it sends the market into a spiral. But, now that this is moving into next level, institutional…

I’ve said the same thing! I’m not a huge PTA or DDL fan, but this movie stayed with me and I’ve recommended it to friends who don’t like DDL. It’s really Vicki Krieps movie from her point of view. And she’s really magnificent. And of course, Manville is wonderful as well.

I had great seats too! It was sooooo worth it! And her stories in between the songs only added to the experience. It was a real show.

Confirmed. Britney’s show was pretty much the worst I’ve ever been to. My friends all loved it, but I just couldn’t get on board. She was barely even dancing so there’s no justification for lip syncing. Meanwhile, I saw Cher the night before and she was incredible. Twice as old as Britney and actually singing, and…

Off topic, but I can’t be the only who thinks of this when they see the name Funkhouser.

I think this is the result of the Trump family being wealthy celebrities. I bet we’d all be appalled if we knew how bad most major celebrities are at voting. People like this lead very insulated lives and forget how to do “normal” things like voting.

I was just coming to write this! Bullets Over Broadway would’ve been RUINED if Allen played the Cusack role because who would believe Allen is married to Mary Louise Parker? Of course Allen probably didn’t want the role because he wouldn’t want people to think he’d be interested in someone as “old” as Dianne Weist.
