Will producers now go back and pay Viola Davis the same as Emma Stone for “The Help”? Jamie Foxx the same as Tom Cruise for “Collateral”? The divide between male and female is all too clear to challenge, but disparity of pay between races is shrugged off. I done accepts the “box office draw” excuse for actors of color…

Forget the deplorables. We’ll never convince that POC and LGBQT deserve equal rights and fair treatment under the law. Bending over backwards to appeal to them just makes black and brown folks even more distrustful of the Democratic Party.

Um, Bernie wasn’t even a Democrat until he decided to run for President. So spare me “the party establishment” mess: he was late to the party.

Um, she co-writes most of her stuff with hitmasters Max Martin (Britney Spears, Adele, Pink) and Jack Antonoff (Lorde, Pink, Grimes). So it was even more shady for Katy to give Taylor props for her songwriting - when Taylor’s calling on hitmakers to help her out these days.

Here’s the catch: he was only on the job two months. So I bet you he was probably still on probation.

Markle’s accent should be solid, though.

Taylor Swift: “beautiful gowns...”

Right. The Republicans have been playing dirty a long time, starting with the Southern Strategy...then doing everything to delegitimize Carter and Clinton (the latter of whom the most they could get was a stained dress), suppressing votes to get Dubya elected, then blocking Obama’s every move to the point of stealing…

Boo, I’m from the 313 m’self. Renaissance all the way, baby. And I now live in New York. So Detroit has more violence overall (one reason I left). But when you have Jerry Falwell’s son filling a stadium telling people to go out and kill Muslims, you can bet your ass that they’re virulently anti-LBGQT as well. They…

Here we go again with the idea that POC communities are any more anti-LGBQT than white people. You do realize that POC weren’t holding back marriage quality, right? Because POC don’t have power on the federal level to do any damned thing that white people don’t want to do.

Democracy is factions looking out for their own best interests: look at the hypocritical evangelicals backing Trump.

Her choice of Trump meant she was willing to turn on me and mine to get hers - which is why many POC view white feminists and LGBQT with distrust. And her turnabout is purely out of self-interest: she hasn’t reached out to immigrant or racial minority groups to support them and help build a coalition.

Trump said he had investigators in Hawaii who’d found dirt on Obama’s birth certificate that would be very shocking. I believe that was in 2011.

But your trans friend was cool with Trump shitting on black and brown people when she voted for Trump, so excuse me if I cut her no fucking slack.

Again, playing a “number of fans” game means nothing when it comes to artistry: yes, the number of Bruno Mars fans dwarfs that of Meshell fans. But the number of Bieber fans also dwarfs Meshell fans. And the number of Taylor Swift fans dwarfs them all - and she uses hitmakers for hire Jack Antonoff and Max Martin. So…

Meshell tours often enough and still releases music...so just because she’s off your radar doesn’t mean she has no value. Hell, Bieber sells a lot, but that says nothing of his musical value.

I’m sorry, but where did he ask was she raped?

Condescension. I think you mean condescension. Or is it condescending to point that out?

Baby Driver was, if anything, an Ansel Elgort vehicle. Academy Award winners Kevin Spacey and Jamie Foxx were also in it - so it wasn’t a (pardon the pub) Jon Hamm vehicle. Mad Men was. You can’t really say Jon Hamm is known for Baby Driver. So Mad Men remains the biggest success on his résumé.

Rich wasn’t interviewing Hendricks on the red carpet, boo. And if Hamm was teaming up with Weiner again, a longer interview would have definitely included a question about it. It’s called a hook.
