Thank you. There was a whole episode about a competition among all the DM offices regarding which location could lose the most weight. There were “you better lose weight” comments flying all around that episode not aimed at Kelley. 

Following up on yesterday’s dirtbag - Mike Richards is out as host at Jeopardy! He should be out as EP as well for overseeing this PR disaster.

Kelly’s weight did become part of the story though so she must’ve gotten over it enough to be able to write about it in other ways. Angela was obsessed with being tiny so maybe it was her, or maybe the joke would’ve been if Kevin or Phyllis mentioned it. I’m sure it sucked and still sucks. I could never be an actor or…

Between The Founder, Spotlight and this, Michael Keaton has become the go-to for “How did this country get so fucked up?” recent history dramas.

I hope Patrick Radden Keefe’s excellent book on the Sacklers—called Empire of Pain—gets made into a miniseries. You have never read about a family so evil. They make the Roys from Succession look like a family in a Disney film.

“so no one will ever call out this marriage for what it really is.”

The one detail about NXIVM that endlessly fascinates me is that one of the remaining diehard believers is Mack’s now former spouse Nicki Clyne, who you may remember as that really annoying deckhand on the show Battlestar Galactica.

which is fair, but we’ve seen a lot of crook doctors destroy celebrities over the year, and Britney probably doesn’t have access to choosing any of her mental health help. The fact that they inserted an IUD in her without needing her consent speaks volumes about the forced sterilization of people with mental health…

she sounds very grounded and capable in the audio recording of the court hearing. Maybe she’ll need some help adjusting, but reducing her autonomy to this degree definitely isn’t in place to help her heal or develop her own independent skills.

I think you eventually get into Die Hard “c’mon, this is happening AGAIN?” territory. That’s why I like the Fargo approach. Reboot every season, but retain the tone and maybe even some of the actors, buy playing different characters. There’s a place for long running shows featuring the same characters, like L&O, and…

There is a major difference there, and this group of websites should be ashamed of themselves for this trash “journalism”.

I agree with almost everything that you said about this being a gigantic nothing, that she certainly didn’t need to apologize.

This makes me sad and angry. My stepdaughter was the recipient of a Make-A-Wish trip when she was a kid. The people we dealt with were so kind and empathetic and really created an experience for her that put some much needed light back into her life at the time. I fervently hope this person’s actions don’t cause…

How dare you malign that poor dog!

Instrumental. The theme runs about four and half minutes and evokes images of myself wandering rainy urban streets in a trenchcoat chainsmoking Camels and taking the occasional pull from a hip flask. Makes the whole scrub-the-toilet thing very noirish.

This whole “main character of your own life” is just fine until you expect the unsuspecting public to be unpaid extras. Boldly public declarations of love come to mind. Remember the triumphant scene in “Love, Actually” where Colin Firth stumbles into a busy restaurant to confess his love in halting Portuguese? The…

Wow. The dope is ME!!!!! My reading comprehension skills were laid to waste by the glory that is his love. 

The super gross social media trend that I was reminded of this weekend?  The “candid” pics of people crying over loved one’s graves.

I like Minka Kelly & Trevor Noah together, but relationships in the pressure cooker of the COVID-19 pandemic can be tough to maintain.

Gwen is terrified to grow up. Literally wearing the same clothes and same look and sound from 25 years ago and simpering next to her “aw shucks, trucks” fiancé. Critically appraising her past choices is impossible as it’s threatening to her frozen sense of self. I don’t know what scared this woman who had everything…
