See, this is what is killing me. So many thousands of folks in this country, many of them part of the working poor and struggling middle class, who have to submit to intrusive background checks, credit checks, etc., in order to obtain work, and neither the City of Spokane or the NAACP bothers to even Google this…

I agree that Hewitt is a fame whore and a cad, but he’s always publicly vehemently denied that he was in a relationship with Diana at the time of Harry’s conception.

Yeah, except Griner actually does have along history (especially for someone as young as she is) of brawling/fighting/beating the crap out of other people.

I don't see Joni Mitchell or Michael J Fox here! What gives?

Yeah, at least Brittney Griner had the class to quote Hemingway in her post-arrest, marriage -announcement tweet.

Not only that, but he’s just about the most narcicisstic asshole ever. Sort of a civilian version of his Ironman character. This recent Vanity Fair article is good for a hate read, if only because the writer slobbers all over Downey for the entire profile. My favorite part: when they walk past Downey’s front lawn,…

Never thought I'd feel thankful to In Touch.

What I read yesterday, either in the NYT or WP, was that the judge who ordered the records destroyed was appointed by Mike Huckabee. I don’t know if it’s a coincidence that he’s been publicly in their corner as well, mourning Josh Duggar’s “youthful indiscretions” and “temporarily poor decision making” and defending…

I hear Rep Alan Grayson will be available soon.

That will be in the dream sequence.

First mistake he made was trying to fly to Germany. If he had just stuck with the original Scotland plan, he could be hanging out with his boyfriend in matching kilts right now.

I will never not love anything that Prince does.

In New Orleans, on the way to a traditional funeral, the band plays some sort of dirge (can’t remember what; forgive me for not googling it); but on the way back, they play “When the Saints Go Marching In” as sort of a cheerful, upbeat goodbye song.

In total agreement with you—Not to mention over on Gawker about six months ago, when I fled screaming into the night after reading several hundred men dissecting every fucking plane of Anna Kendrick’s face and deciding that she wasn’t hot enough to bang. Name me one woman on any attractiveness level that doesn’t have…

My husband burst out in such a loud bark of laughter at that line that our daughter opened her bedroom door and wanted to know what was going on.

When this Bud Light advertising slogan went viral last week, I saw a couple posts on my feminist Facebook groups mentioning the phrase and the controversy. So I posted a couple sentences in the comments being critical of the phrase and saying it sounded really creepy. In the one group I had two guys tell me it was all…

But please keep Gail Collins!

Your initial description of him is too kind. I could go on an endless profane rant about Brooks, but the only thing I will say about him here is that he’s very skilled at making a case that a specific person’s life is not worth 2 cents. And lots of people believe him, sadly.

Yeah, I agree that he’s calmed down a bit, but in his mind I don’t think that dating or relationships have any intersectionality with anonymous sex hook ups.

I guess I partially agree with you. I don’t think the name calling or threats online were okay, but I don’t have a problem with her getting fired, single mom or no single mom. If she hates kids, find a job that doesn’t work with kids. Seriously. She absolutely shouldn’t be working with them. If I had been stupid…
