I’m so, so sorry for your loss. There aren’t any words.

I chalked it up to proximity (at home) or lack thereof (Oz) to a Spanish-speaking country &/or sizeable immigrant population. Whatever the reason, it made for a great Stupid Party Trick!

How this wasn’t the end of Lena Dunham is beyond my comprehension. It is the epitome of punching down - someone with less fame & power than you reveals a past sexual assault, and instead of a) expressing horror that it happened, or b) shutting the fuck up because you know nothing about it, you toss around statistics &

I was drunk at a bar in Australia & decided it would be hilarious to only speak Spanish for the rest of the night, because unlike back home in LA nobody could understand me. I got lots of annoyed glances as the night wore on, and probably didn’t speak very good Spanish under the circumstances.

My mom got diagnosed a month ago with a brain tumor. She’s had surgery, and now that she’s recovering we are dealing with a brain injury, albeit one done by a surgeon. Reading this gave me ... something. Not hope, exactly, because she’s 72 and I don’t know if the tumor is going to allow her to “get [her] life back”.

Nope, just a milkshake. Sadly.

“Tablescapes.”

I met him at a kid’s charity book reading when he was married to Jane Kaczmarek. They were both completely delightful, and Jane & I bonded over their daughter’s sparkly red shoes - from Target! Bradley read “Too Many Daves” by Dr. Seuss. Brilliantly.

At least they’ll be dead soon?

I’m totally stealing “gynocracy.” That’s ... something.

NEVER ENOUGH STARS

I can’t explain why, but this is making me laugh so hard I’m crying.

Also, this country isn’t some cheesy nightclub where he can sit by himself & grab strangers by the pussy. “At capacity” isn’t a thing that happens to countries.

Anyone else think the ending was really ... weird? Hasselbeck basically crawled into Walters’ lap for their “everything’s fine” moment, even as Barbara continues to say one of the things that upset her in the first place.

That sounds just ghaaaahstly!

Came here to say this. I loved that house, too. Way to subvert the stereotype, Mean Rich People of Hillsborough.

Utterly random non-brag (because let’s be honest here: yikes): I dated one of the white rastas just before this movie came out. God, this town ....

It sounds to me like she’s “doing a voice” without doing actual vocal exercises to achieve a lower register. Felicity Huffman talked about this being a part of how she prepared for Transamerica (and yes, I know how problematic this reference is on several levels, and I’m sorry I don’t have a better one). Which isn’t

I was just Debra Messing’s legs on Will & Grace! You & I could have a fabulous Weird Personal Trivia Night.

This is true! (I was Cameron Diaz on the Charlie’s Angels 2 poster.) It’s mostly because the celebrities don’t want to stand around & do the boring photoshoot crap that involves getting the exact shot the studio wants for the poster.
