Same. I used to be annoyed by the ubiquity of JLP back then, but I really do think it hold up well, strong songwriting.

I just remember hearing he LOVES doing tons and tons of cocaine. ALLEGEDLY.

Ha, I get your point, that wasn’t the right word. The whole interview was pretty irritating.  I was trying to at least give her props about being open about her money-lust, but I shouldn’t have, and I’d like to walk that back. Screw her! 

I still can’t get over how Trump’s fans, the most suspicious conspiracy-minded goobers who believe the world is secretly controlled by shadowy figures and sinister foreigners, can look at that “orb” picture and just shrug. Even I think it’s weird and disquieting.

Exactly. And the whole gist of this article, that it’s all Schumer’s bumbleheaded fault just because Joe Manchin wants to be an asshole.. it’s pretty flimsy. 

Jerry babe, as far as I know, Christina is a way-right sort, at least of the Reagan era kind. That’s why in Mommie Dearest, Christina portrayed Joan’s friendship with gay men like Billy Haines and his boyfriend- saying to Christina, that the two men “had the best marriage in Hollywood”- well , Christina put this in…

I was trying to be helpful. You questioned the veracity of whether Barbra Streisand said what she said, or is it just pundits paraphrasing?, because you could not read the article. I could and did and was merely saying that the quotes attributed to her in quotation marks do indeed appear in the Times UK article that…

Really, a goddess. Christina can go to hell. She’s a rightwing Christianist, so she knows that’s a possibility. Joan soars above it all, she really was a Star. 

Yeah, it was Code Red Emergency! Michael’s accused of touching boys again, must rush to his rescue! Ugh. Sorry to say it, but those sorts of Old Hollywood sorts seem to have seen every disgusting thing and are inured against modern sensibilities.

Yeah, it’s a fame game. For people who care about good writing and good books, it sort of sucks. I know that sounds naive, these people are laughing all the way to the bank. But seriously, how long will they last,, when their books are shit? Will anyone be reading them ten, twenty years from now? No. Even now their…

Hate to say it, she’d definitely defend MJ as well.  She was a fiercely loyal person, he could do no wrong as far as she was concerned.  In fact, she did defend MJ in life, I forget what she said, but when there was some dramatic legal eruption of accusations against him, she dramatically took a private plane to rush…

That’s what I was curious about- is the book any good? Because what I hear, it’s a derivative piece of shit. So of course he gets an award nomination, and a $1.5 million advance, a movie advance, and dozens of fawning mag profiles before the New Yorker’s (epic and awesomely satisfying) takedown. He was in…

Her direct quotes are accurate from the Times article, yes. 

“His sexual needs were his sexual needs, coming from whatever childhood he has or whatever DNA he has”

Yeah,  but remember, some furniture was moved or changed in the 3 day filming of the documentary, which completely exonerates MJ of the decades of charges from multiple people.  Furniture doesn’t lie. 

Actually she was Barbara until 18 or so and changed it to Barbra when starting her nightclub singing career. (Wiki says she had always hated her name..why not get a really new one? Dunno.) Apparently in 2019 she changed it again to Buh-bye. #cancelled

He also once let it be known that he took Brooke Shields’ virginity when they were at Princeton. What a gentleman!

That basement mall is SO creepy. She must give her psychiatrist(s) tons to work with.

It was actually surgical-grade anaesthetic, propofol, that killed him. Not pain killers or sleeping pills or anti-anxiety meds. Serious, heavy duty stuff that really does not belong out of a hospital or used without an anaesthesiologist closely monitoring. Apparently he had developed such a tolerance for…
