I never really understood why tapdancing was considered some horrible racially charged thing.  Some of the best tap dancers who ever lived were black.  I can even think of one current young black actor/celeb off the top of my head who has done it as a hobby and competitively for years — Dule' Hill.  I'd love to see…

Gotta admit, I was extremely skeptical of Clay in general, but man, there are certain roles he would be perfect for that don't involve a "From Justin to Kelly" kind of scenario. 

Ehh, she has her share of paparazzi shots.  I'd link some of the better ones, but they may or may not be safe for work.  Let's just say she likes to ride her thongs very high in public.

A thought I had last night, I'm sure its not very original, but I haven't seen it on here yet:  For your consideration, why did they have Uma Thurman play Rebecca Duvall instead of playing…….Uma Thurman?

"Who wants respect from a 10 year old kid!" is classic.  That role is so wonderfully scene chewing if its well done, but incidentally I saw it for the umpteenth time last year at a community theater and…the guy who played him was gay as well.  They must have taken a cue from the movie or something.  It was awful. …

Agreed, Evan.

In those situations the child will want to find a "safe" place.  But that usually is not a foreign living situation in which you depend on everyone to lie for you.  That's something an addict or a failure who can't face the reality of their own failures and their consequences does.

Yeah its interesting how as you become an adult your parents (perhaps nudged by booze on occasion) will often level with you and go "yeah, all those times we said we were vacuuming upstairs, we were fucking" and "yeah, those books smutty got me through my teenage years" and "oh btw, i nearly failed college even though…

There's also the glaring fact that we're meant to believe that the mother of the boy harboring him would outright lie to the faces of horrifically distraught parents who are fearing their son is pulling a Jodie Foster from Taxi Driver.

To a certain extent I wonder how much of the social backstage sniping during the filming of Smash itself resembles some of what takes places on the show itself.  Hilty probably loves the opportunity to be on tv like this, but also probably feels she really deserves it more than an American Idol lovechild because she…

The bollywood thing was definitely shock inducing but as it kept going there was something endearing about it, and really, it was the highlight of the episode, because really everything else was either poorly acted or contrived. It was FUN. Smash is so rarely fun.

I swear Smash: The Novel is written the exact same way as those horribly smutty Carter Brown books from the 60s and 70s that belong to your dad that you find gathering dust in the basement when you're nearly a teenager and are utterly captivated by.

The "Another" thing was absolutely on purpose, especially when you consider the involvement of renowned cinephile Bill Hader.

The best part of the finale is that they made Tim and Rachel come on set in the Trooper Tom aftermath scene just to look concerned and have Tim do a Derek Zoolander face, neither of them really have any lines (Rachel might say 2 words), and you never see them
again.  It was almost self-parody. 'twas grand

Adam Carolla already got Mark McGrath'ed, so we'll have to see if it happens again.

Just watched that bit again on a completely legal and reputable website hosted in the united states and in compliance with all copyright law, ahem, and its hard to tell, but I still lean toward saying its Paul

Surprised no one has mentioned it yet, but how about after Trump announced who lost and Theresa's team was walking out the door of the Boardroom and Aubrey threw her arms around Paul's neck and said "Great job this week, Daddy!" (in reference to the roles in the ad) and Paul playfully responded "You better stop that…

I don't know.  The rationale of essentially "she should be grateful that we gave her the chance to do 2/3 of our shit for us really well so we could win" seems pretty busted.

Yeah the well is pretty much poisoned when it comes to Dayana now, and Lisa who once seemed like a finals contender, seems on her way out.

There's something about all 3 Trump Spawn's physical appearances that is reminiscent of 16th century inbred European aristocracy.  Might be how none of them seem able to fit their teeth into their mouths.
