I believe that pizza place was owned by Joe Giudice and this new pasta restaurant is Joe & Melissa Gorga with Teresa Giudice. I vaguely remember Teresa and Joe cleaning a rental apartment over the pizza place.

Or be the kind of flu shot truther that my boss is and ask me if I know how much mercury I’ve just injected into my body, as if that’s an actual problem! He is also a 9/11 truther and thinks that someone as “smart” as I am should really be more educated on these important conspiracy topics.

I think Chrissy is frequently dressed to stun - like the latex dress at the VMAs. You may just not like this look. Her stylist has a lot of things custom made for her.

He’s an incredibly successful character actor who has done nearly a hundred movies, tv shows or voiceover work. He was in 120 episodes of the show Numbers. His estimated net worth is $6 million. He probably didn’t make any real money from Wonderwheel - actors typically get paid well under their normal salary to be in…

oh yes, hating him is VERY much a thing around these parts. It’s because he was shitty about the Anita Hill testimony against Clarence Thomas. I’m not sure that I believe that it should disqualify all of the other good work he has done in the 25 years since but I would prefer it if he does not run in 2020 because I…

In the original article (not quoted in this post) Belichick suggested that players stay in the hotel that shares a parking lot with the stadium. I think he would prefer that players not try to drive at all. I grew up in the area with a dad who didn’t think snow was an excuse for missing ANYTHING and he made some…

Now I mostly only see bands where I know at least one of the people performing. It’s maybe $8 at the door and a $5 Tecate. If I was a teen asking my parents to pay $200 a seat for a Taylor Swift concert, they would have died laughing and they could have afforded to pay that! That kind of money was not spent on teen…

It’s not a pseudonym, it’s just her first two initials and last name. “Dr. Seuss” was a pseudonym for Theodore Giesel. E.B. White and J. D. Salinger were just their names.

Get your teens interested in less radio-friendly artists! I used to see pop-punk shows as a teen for like $10 :)

These cabins are situated super close to either NYC or Boston, so people who want a nicely designed space would probably be paying about the same and renting from people who are airbnbing their vacation home in order to pay the mortgage. I’ve rented a couple of those homes and in one, the driveway iced over after a…

For the crossover episodes NBC constantly aired a commercial with a song to the tune of La Bamba that detailed all the crazy hijinks and it pops into my head about once a month. I’ll just be working quietly and all of a sudden it’s “JAMIE’S STUCK IN A TOWEL!”

ohh I remember that day! I used to comment under a different name. And then I got sent back to the greys by Jessica Coen for criticizing an article that she wrote. I sent her an email letting her know that she was my boss when I interned for gawker in 2005 and asking her to re-instate me but she never did.

I actually like Lindy MUCH more now that she’s writing for other places. I really hated her gossip coverage although now I can’t remember why.

I think the fabric thing actually makes sense. Plus sized women have a lot more variation with their measurements than straight-sized women and fabrics with more stretch can go a long way in accommodating more variety. I am on the edge of plus size, have a huge chest and have trouble finding dresses that fit my chest…

Do you manufacture in the US? This company does custom apparel work and has an awesome mission where they train all of their garment workers to be able to move into management positions within a few years. I don’t work for them - I just love their mission! https://www.99degreescustom.com/

From what I have learned from my fashion designer friends, plus knowing a custom textile manufacturing company, it’s beyond extremely expensive to make only 25 of something and there is SO much variation in plus sized women (chest, waist, hip, and length of torso measurements) that you’d be hard pressed to get enough…

Mindy is her actual middle name. Her first name is Vera, which is just as pronounceable. Many people go by their middle names and she has done so for her entire life. I think picking on Mindy’s first name is not relevant here. I’m not sure if she has legally changed her last name, but if she hasn’t she may have…

Yes, it very may well push many of them out of office. But here’s the thing: many of these people are so wealthy that they will profit handsomely off this bill. You assume that their goal is to stay in office, but what if it’s really just to make a shit ton of money? In that case, they’d win.

Walt Disney had a real thing for Americana - it’s why the entrance to Disney World and Disneyland are themed as a recreation of 1900s era midwestern Main Streets. He definitely wanted to uh...make things great again. The early versions of the parks were less themed towards existing Disney intellectual properties and…

Eh, I think they didn’t go far enough. That robot is dressed way better than him, and it’s definitely thinner too!
