If I hear one more (generally male) person say "Innocent until proven guilty! There's no evidence!" I am going to SCREAM. Maybe I've spent too much time on reddit trying to fight the good fight, but I cannot believe the lengths some people will go to deny that Cosby has sexually assaulted a mind-boggling number of

Unlike Michael Jackson and Roman Polanski, where I can watch the art they created in a vacuum, that's REALLY hard for Bill Cosby, on the Cosby show, playing the lead character, who is supposed to be a likeable guy. It's MUCH harder to really forget about the horrible allegations while watching his show when he's the

Both, as far as I'm aware. He got more than $150 million when the first syndication deals were negotiated as a producer, and I would be shocked if he didn't also get residuals as an actor on the show.

I have a not so secret desire to name my daughter Claire after Clair Huxtable. She is the BEST

They have no right to sue. There's no guarantee for any length of time for syndication, so Bill Cosby isn't interfering with any contractual right they would have.

Give me a break. They're not doing the same work. They're working for two different companies. One of which makes millions in profit a year and one of which isn't profitable. I am a lawyer. I make more money than a person doing the same "work" for other law firms, even though we do the same drafting bullshit.

Not to be too capitalistic about it, but if you institute a salary cap on the players, then the money is just going to go into OTHER rich people's hands. If you institute a profit cap across the board, you just aren't going to give teams any incentive to make more revenues than 500 million or whatever, or a movie to

OK, so I'm 99.9% sure this is the way it went down -she didn't submit her name for consideration (or submitted, and then withdrew), then someone asked her about it in an interview because they didn't see her name among the list of potential nominees and she explained it was because of the crappy writing. I don't

The actor submits their name for consideration. I'm pretty sure she was asked about it (rather than a public announcement, etc.) because people didn't see her on the nomination list the year after she won the Emmy, which is when she said the thing about the writing. I don't think it was so much a stunt than it was

DON'T YOU REMEMBER THE GHOST SEX!?!??!

Eh, I'm not going to spend too much time defending millionaire sports stars, but I really don't think it's feasible to force the NBA to give away most of their money.

Wasn't the year Heigl withdrew her nomination the year her character was having ghost sex? Yeah, sorry Shonda, that was some crazy shitty plot development.

Yes, big-budget blockbusters can be massive risks, no doubt about it. But it doesn't change the fact that some studios think that they're the key to making a profit and build in the bombs into the profit calculation. They only need one runaway success to finance three or four bombs.

When the NBA is taking in upwards of $5 billion dollars a year, why shouldn't the players take a substantial cut of that?

Even assuming a $200-300 million dollar budget, these big blockbusters make upwards of a billion dollars worldwide. That's a tidy profit.

I'm a card-carrying feminist 'til the cows come home, but even I'm not crazy enough to claim that WBNA players should get paid as much as players in the NBA....

It's all super complicated and I don't even think it's so much about pay than it is about roles available to women. There was a study of the top grossing movies of 2013: only 15% of protagonists, 29% of major characters and 30% of speaking characters were female. There just aren't as many roles for women out there.

I have a ton of hair and use dry shampoo so I don't have to blow my hair out as often. I usually go about 4-5 days on one blow out (using dry shampoo the last 2 days). I just started using Drybar's Detox - it smells SO good and I don't have any white chalkiness that can happen with my Oscar Blandi (although that

I watch everything with subtitles - not only because I feel like I can't understand half of what these whippersnappers say on the TV, but also because my husband (maddeningly) likes to GAB GAB GAB through all my stories and instead of getting annoyed with him all the time, I can just "read" the TV show while

I'm sorry, it's not reasonable to expect (or demand) that every pet owner is required to spend TENS OF THOUSANDS of dollars on their pets' medical care. That's insane and unrealistic. My amazing dog growing up lived with us for 7 years and had lymphoma which quickly spread. We COULD have paid thousands of dollars
