Two bits of good news.

This is so cute. The only thing Katy Purry has ever reacted to on the TV is Sir Richard Attenborough’s Birds of Paradise program on PBS. She was absolutely riveted.  

I was up for a temporary promotion, but they gave it to some man who 1) already had one before and 2) sucks ass at communicating cross-program, a major job duty.

I think that’s what’s so eye-rolly about the whole thing. She talks about doing things that are only really “outlandish” to time travellers from the 1950s, yet presents them as if she’s breaking down barriers and blazing trails.

If Jussie Smollett staged this whole thing - the letter and the physical attack - as a ploy to get a more lucrative contract, he has done a terrible disservice to both the black community and the LGBTQ community, which he both belongs to and used for his own game.

I am not saying she’s not queer or that being in a straight relationship erases someone’s queer identify, but it doesn’t strike me as “redefining” anything for a generation when someone who has always been publicly in straight relationships has a conventionally straight marriage.

“It’s Cosmo’s moon!”

I love her. Last year she opened for Pink Martini at the Hollywood Bowl, and damn if she isn’t still sensational. When she sits down and plays classical Spanish guitar, it’s just breathtaking. And she’s got the most endearing personality. So sad after such a successful 40 year marriage for it to have to end that way;…

Or literally ANYTHING else.

Kris Jenner really knows how to come up with a storyline. I’m still not watching KUTWK though.

It’s a woman thing. Our mainstream culture constantly reinforces the message that we have to be the sex object, or be the mother. Both of those roles are about pleasing others and not ourselves. And when we have a partner who promotes that dynamic, who exacerbates it, and sucks all of the energy in the room back into…

Mine’s a Casey too! And yes they smell empathy. My ex MIL tried to explain to me that it was *totes a good thing* for him to get remarried right away and abandon all hope of him parenting our children ever because “he needs someone, you know, and I can’t do it all” BITCH NO ONE CAN, and you enabled him to believe that…

I’d ask what they get out of it, but I know the answer: life. Vampiric narcissistic supply from draining the soul of a strong person, bit by bit, little by little, for years. It’s sad that this experience is so familiar to so many of us. I hate that we all know a person like this.

This right here. Mandy is a perfect example of not forgiving someone (or I don’t get the sense she has) but not being mired in hate and anger either. She’s very empirical about the whole thing, and I admire her for it.

It definitely sounds like Mandy Moore is accessing therapy and has such a good head on her shoulders. More power to her, forget about the ‘bad guys’ who did bad - and let’s focus on the people who are so resilient, who learn from their experiences, and seem ready to hold people accountable without dragging them…

Yes, you feel so small when you are in a relationship like that.

I am not surprised that he is a manbaby estranged from his family. Nope, not the slightest bit surprised. I am very happy Mandy Moore left him.

Not to psychoanalyze him, but he sometimes talked about his mother’s profound formative influence on him, for both good and bad. She was apparently an extraordinarily cold woman, who never kissed or hugged him as a little boy, and sent him off to boarding schools. At the same time, she imparted her perfectionism, relen…

Yeah, I loved Kunty Karl, sorrynotsorry. Doesn’t mean I agreed with everything he said, far from it, but he was a creative genius and very unique personality. And I enjoyed his bitchiness, even when I disagreed with it.

Lagerfeld was the typical “creative genius” who was also an insufferable asshole. That said, the man made some beautiful fashion for an insane amount of time. He single-handedly brought Chanel back to relevancy, and knew that irreverence would be key to making the house last. His knack for branding was unsurpassed.…
