@Lord_Tubbington:disqus I think that may be giving the editors too much credit.  We also didn't get to see Jerell's whole look in the workroom—or at all, really.

Jesus Christ, people.  If someone punches you in the face and head repeatedly and almost chokes you into unconsciousness, YOU DON'T INVITE THEM TO YOUR BIRTHDAY PARTY.  I don't expect stars to be role models for other people, but come on, Rihanna.  Show some respect for yourself.

There's been some weird stuff going on lately.  I somehow linked to a Newswire post that NEVER GOT POSTED.  So there are about five comments on it after a day.  It's bizarre.  Here it is, by the way:

I bet it became a GOOP-covered one, if nothing else.

Did this actually show up on the main page under Newswire?  Because I don't see it there, and that would explain the lack of comments after so many hours.

betterforsome: Doesn't it always?

Apparently she was popular enough to be an Oprah guest in the relatively recent past.  Even though I never watched Oprah, I had more respect for her until I realized that she hosted McCarthy and that woman who wrote "The Secret."  Way to go, Oprah!  Maybe you should win a belated Emmy for Best Promotion of Mumbo-Jumbo…

I don't watch it, but I'm actually curious.  If you don't mind explaining, how is it a trainwreck?

I used to just not care about Jenny McCarthy at all.  And then the whole vaccine brouhaha happened, and now I just realized that I loathe her.  She is facilitating the spread of long-dormant, potentially deadly diseases in communities of children.  What she is advocating will kill—nay, IS killing—the children of…

The way she keeps circling it makes me feel uncomfortable and kinda icky.  But then again, I'm a straight woman, so more power to you for finding it sexy.

I think that thread has finally died, Otto. No one has commented there in months (I just checked, as I do every few months). As I can no longer fight its influence in that article about songs with factual or logical mistakes, I can only beg the heavens: May the scourge of the Piña Colada song no longer threaten…

Otto: I am absurdly touched that you included me. I'm still around—and still female!—but don't comment as much as I did before we adopted our daughter. I lurk, though, and comment on the less-frequented articles, where it feels less fruitless to post something.

"Wait Until Dark" is one of the few movies that has ever made me shriek in shocked terror.  Lord, that is one hell of a scare.  I also saw it in a theater with a friend, and we were in the first row of the balcony.  I knew what was coming, but he didn't.  He almost vaulted over the rail.

Yeah, I don't think she's realized—or is willing to admit—that she can't fit into sample sizes or her old size anymore.  She would actually look much, much better (and skinnier, if that's what she'd like) if she'd wear her actual size in clothing.  Clothing that's either too big or too small only makes you look…

I'm guessing that Paul Rudd's character will get a real shark of a campaign manager who will pull all the strings.  Wasn't Kathryn Hahn supposed to come in for that kind of role?  She would be fantastic.

I too just loved this episode.  When Chris stared intently at Jerry with that music in the background, I almost cried laughing.  And so many other great moments!  Leslie having to dance alone to "Single Ladies" at a wedding…"Not as beautiful as my sister…but you know the law"…"Don't worry.  I rolled down a window"…etc.

If I'm not mistaken, the framed photo Leslie gets for "Galentine's Day" is of Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony.  LOVE THIS SHOW.

Tom basically said that because of the editing, it wasn't clear why Grayson, rather than Ed, went home.  He said there was a lot more explained in the judging session that was edited out.  The most important factor sending her home, according to him, was that most of the judges thought her dish was their least…

A lot of American leaders, too, but they chose not to publicize it.

I was thinking the whole time about what sort of lawsuit would be filed when one of the chefs veered into oncoming traffic while trying to make sure her egg-yolk-filled chicken breasts didn't get jostled.  I can barely keep myself upright on the bike without having to worry about puncturing yolks!
