Actually, Stephen Colbert had quite a few acting credits before he developed his Colbert Report persona.

Your dad is amazing.

High five. Fellow taxpayer, THRILLED they chose to do this on work time. If they waited for lunch break or whatever it wouldn't disrupt anything and wouldn't get the attention it deserves.

Yeah, I think Snow White & the Huntsman was just such a chaotically thrown-together movie that she could have been GREAT and I still would've just been confused about the whole thing. A few of these others that you mentioned, though, I haven't seen yet, and should probably check out.

Mostly I just wish she had never…

Y'know, I'm liking Kristen Stewart a lot lately. I haven't checked out her recent projects yet, but it sounds like she is getting to know herself as an actress and learning to choose roles closer to her wheelhouse. It's okay to play characters who seem very like yourself, as long as you are capable of exploring the…

In my head, Ms. Grande's bodyguard is played by Terry Crews.

Thanks, I will do that if it ever becomes an issue.

Yikes, poor geckos! Glad you were able to rescue them before they met a ghastly end. Do these pesticide companies have any better alternatives? I've never had to use one, but I know diatomaceous earth works for at least roaches, bedbugs, and fleas, and is safe around cats and dogs (and presumably rats and mice,…

Oh, glue traps are nasty. Just unnecessarily cruel. Fortunately the mice around here seem to be too sensible to hang around multiple cats, so we haven't seen any in a very long time, but I did find a tutorial for making a humane, no-kill mouse trap out of a soda bottle a while back.

My bff's wedding cake was basically what you describe. Simple white cake filled and topped with not-too-sweet whipped cream and macerated berries. She gave me the recipe and now it's my go-to cake for all occasions. Easy, tasty, and otherwise I'd just be making some pretty basic chocolate thing every time.

Er, that should have read "PETA," not "PET," I hope that was clear.

Yeah, I don't spare insects either. If it's invading my home and wanting to gnaw on my food (or worse, me — kill all the bedbugs!) it's dead. Setting mousetraps always icked me out, but now that I have a cat we don't seem to get mice. (If we had them and kitty were killing them I assume I'd find their tiny corpses.)

I'm actually not saying that. I fall more in line with explanation b: since 100% avoiding any product that might have animal products or have harmed animals during production is impossible, worrying about being a perfect vegan or vegetarian or whatever is pointless. If you want to be vegan (or vegetarian, or just use…

Two possible answers here, depending on who you ask.

Kathy Griffin would be fun, but why not go with Jane Lynch? She's already played the role on Broadway, and I don't know anyone who doesn't love her.

YES. I was arguing with someone in the comments a while back who was confused about what people "wanted" from Cosby at this point. I said what we wanted was for him to suffer some actual consequences. That what I really want is evidence that the culture is changing and Cosby can no longer get away with his reputation…

Being able to "hear" how a thought sounds in your head and decide not to be That Person is a good skill, though.

Yep. Part of it may be that there are so few good roles out there for black actors. People like Cosby and Perry have money and power, they can get shit on the air/in theaters. That makes jobs for people. So even someone who is not thrilled with the "smug old black man" persona Hannibal Buress describes Cosby as…

Right? Janice Dickinson may be a mess but I've always thought she comes across as sincere. She had also already been through a lot of awful things by the time she met Cosby, and it is common for rape and abuse survivors to be revictimized. Some people seem able to smell trauma on another person and are all too willing…

The thing about not "allowing" your partner to have opposite-sex friends, it hurts my head for so many reasons.

1) I do not "allow" or "disallow" my boyfriend to do anything, excepting things involving my body, my property, or things we have to make mutual decisions on (the apartment, the cat, etc.)

2) Is this a…
