“A little song. A little dance. A little seltzer down your pants”. You’d be amazed how often I still say that line. She really was special. I also remember that she had a daughter around my age but the daughter wasn’t with her. I almost think that maybe she was having family problems because there was no husband…

One of the best things about Amy Poehler’s Yes Please (Oh my god the audiobook version is so good. She has Patrick Stewart read haikus about boob jobs. Go buy it immediately) is the gleefully quick info drop that everyone was fucking everyone on the set of Wet Hot American Summer. She just tosses that treat into the…

I’ve thought about it but always felt a little silly. But I think I’m going to try because it really did mean a lot to me. I mean it was 40 years ago and I can still remember the patterns on the caftan and I think of her whenever I see someone eat an artichoke. (yuck. didn’t take to ‘em)

That’s such a amazing story that it’d be no less moving if your neighbor wasn’t someone famous. Choosing to be a part of a child’s life is such a powerful and lovely thing to do. Even for kids with stable homes and good relationships with their family, an adult’s interest can have such a transformational influence in…

This story is beautiful and spectacular and it also made me weep a bit.

That is a beautiful story. I’m so glad she was there for you when you needed someone.

That is an absolutely fantastic story (not the family drama part, obviously). Now I want to swan around in jewels and a caftan, eating artichokes and watching “The Mary Tyler Moore Show”.

This is dating myself but... when I was 10 years old my mother moved us from Philly to Westwood Ca. (a whole ‘nother story but it was actually a case of custodial interference.) Our neighbor in in the Melrose place looking complex was Barbara Barry. She played Gavin Mcleod’s wife on “The Mary Tyler Moore Show”. She…

I met John Goodman one night in New Orleans. I was outside waiting to get into a concert. He walked by with his date, and I just said Hi to him. He was really cool, and said hey are you going to this show? He told security I was with him. We walked into this VIP area, he said have a good night and disappeared. I had…

I’m early for an early flight out of Atlanta. I ask the baggage handler at the curb to tell me something I wouldn’t know about his job. He’s not busy, no one else there, two of us having a smoke.

That Kanye story. I’m literally crying with laughter.

I agree that male domestic violence victims don’t get the support they deserve, but Nick Loeb doesn’t deserve your sympathy. If you look at their past, he’s the abusive/controlling one and these accusations, as well as the lawsuit, are just ways to intrude in her life and prevent her from moving on.

Because even though it’s nobody’s business, it’s her right to clarify. She doesn’t have to explain herself to anyone.

He was a controlling boyfriend before, and he’s a controlling ex now. He doesn’t want to stop having a big role in her life, so he’s creating problems to ruin her happiness and keep himself at the center of her life like he did before because he can’t have her anymore. This is the real abuse here. Mental and emotional…

It’s true that the residential usage of water is a minority of the problem. But the counter argument is that the water spent on agriculture is useful. People eat that food (or in some cases animals eat that food and then people eat the animals). Which isn’t to say that there’s not a lot that could be done to reduce…

I’m so sorry to hear that. What a beautiful cat. That is an impressive age, though - I bet he had a great 16 years with you.

So sad to hear that!

I’m so sorry. Fresca was lucky to have been loved so much.

Can we talk about the costumes?
