When I was little my maternal grandparents lived in an old house by the side of County Road 1 in a rural Appalachian town in Southern Ohio. The house had been previously owned by a doctor - Dr. Ninnie - and he used it as his home/doctor’s office from the 1940's-1970's.

I was totally thinking this. It’s bad enough to abuse your power and coerce women into unwanted sexual acts. It’s even worse that there is an open secret of pedophilia among the Hollywood elite that still remains uncracked in mainstream journalism.

How can I be not grey?

So I work in the industry and a friend of mine said the real reason for her departure is that Kevin James is apparently a huge Trump supporter and that Erin was vocally opposed (nuh doy) and they fired her and like half the writing staff that was also vocally opposed to Trump.

Yeah, I gotta disagree with this hot take. Cynicism gets us nowhere. We actually DO need to get back to bipartisan functionality. While comments sections are, more often than not, a total dumpster fire, I once read an analogy from a commenter (I believe on this site) that was so perfect, it’s continued to stick with…

Wouldn’t the life insurance policy be void anyway if he killed himself? Why would he cite that as a reason to take his life?

Honestly, I’m with you on this. I wanted to love it, not only as a feminist/female writer in the industry who thinks the idea of lady ghostbusters is rad, but as a fan of Paul Feig and everyone in this movie. Was so, so disappointed. The fact that these characters were so hollow, that the message was weirdly about…

honestly read that and thought it meant they just put no effort into their “mexican” costumes. But now reading your comment I get it. Smh. People suck.

This is actually the most interesting comment I’ve seen, and I was moved to google it. Adjusted for inflation, it would be $714.04 in today’s dollars.

Throwing out: John Travolta? The Radar piece said that the A-lister that abused Corey happened when Corey was in his mid-teens. In 1985 (when he would have been 14?) He was in Secret Admirer w/ Kelly Preston. The whole “hasn’t come out as gay” makes me think there have been rumors following the actor about his…

Radiolab did an amazing episode about Henry Heimlich, who was a very complicated man. After inventing the Heimlich maneuver, he went kind of crazy and started giving medical advice regarding the maneuver that was at best not very well researched and at worst patently false - ie, before giving a drowning victim CPR,…

this is neither here nor there in terms of FUCKING RUDE of the club owners to do what they did, but those are implants right? like, if that woman got giant naturally perky boobs like that, I quit at life.

I’m with you. No interest whatsoever in seeing The Reekquel: Rickon Stark Edition.

I thought this sounded familiar - this was a radio lab episode! It focused more on the lady - Penny whatsit - and her whole experience of KNOWING that it was him that raped her when really it wasn’t. She sat down with him after to apologize for her mistake and said she still felt goosebumps, she was so certain it was…

Was this at Lake Hollywood park? I take my dog here all the time!

damn. fifty shades of gray over here. Someone help a sister out.

Romans 13

The “You Must Remember This” podcast is devoting this whole season to Manson’s Hollywood and it. Is. Fascinating.

Confused about the religious quote from his book, as it was David who slew Goliath. Not Joshua.

HOLY SMOKES!!! I am the writers’ PA on this show! I can say for a fact that CKA is a HUGE supporter of women on this side of the industry as well, not just in terms of delivering great female characters but of hiring and supporting great female writers. She doesn’t just talk the talk, she walks the walk. Our writing…
