@mchll: OMG, OMG, OMG. I finally saw Lagerfeld Confidential a couple of weeks ago on the teevee, and I've been ranting about it/him to anyone/everyone who will listen ever since. The things he says about his mother are the kind of thing you would never expect to hear outside of an exclusive! behind bars! he tells…

@morninggloria: A few years ago my female friend/colleague and I were in my office talking about work and our male boss walked in and, trying to be friendly, said, "oh, a little girl talk, huh?" I said, "yeah. lip gloss, kittens, the gynecologist. You know." He just nodded and walked out. I consider it one of my…

@Misiula: Desk Set!! One of my all-time favorites. That computer that spits out multi-colored index cards is my favorite machine ever depicted in a movie. (Well, that and the copier from 9 to 5.) I make the noise it makes whenever anything goes wrong with a computer. Embarassing but true, as many past unamused…

In discussing the fakey look of magazine ad glasses models, we must not forget that line from a seinfeld ep: "Those ladies would be really good looking if they weren't wearing glasses."

@starke: That was my reaction, too. It's a really grim fact to think of ending up there. Really grim. Hopefully all the little hopeful child actors that live up there will imprint this lesson on their little brains.

@raphaela: I did too! And it was at my Starbucks this morning while I was looking at the front page of the nytimes while waiting for my drink. A couple people whipped their heads around to see what I was gasping at, and I told them. And then somebody else in line was all, "I know! It's the best thing ever!" Mad…

So, about the "forego doing what's popular in order to do what's right" quote from Mo'Nique — what's that about? It sounds good and all, but what's it referring to? Was it somehow an unpopular thing for her to take that role? Is she alluding to their open marriage? Not to be a doubting downer, but it struck me as…

@bethinwonderland: S Tuc is super sexy. For a real treat, find yourself the Fresh Air podcast from a few months ago where he was interviewed, talking about Lovely Bones and Julie& Julia. He talks about the pretty recent death of his wife and it's a little heartbreaking. He also tells a story about playing charades…

Does anybody remember when he was on that reality show about young struggling actors in LA? I think during the course of filming the show, he got cast in Dahmer, so he was the big success story. I loved that show, and him on it, and I have not laid eyes on him in anything he's ever done since. But the way he was on…

@hortense: I cancelled my subscription to Women's Health this morning for exactly this reason.

I've been thinking about this NYT article all day, since I read it this morning, and not just about kids. I know this particular study was about kids, but it seems to me that everybody is eating all the time. I work on jobs that are sometimes up to 50 people in one big room, and almost everybody has some kind of…

Aren't you conflating two things here? It seems to me there's a difference between (1) a guy who gets involved with a stripper or prostitute as a client and then gets jealous of her other clients (the Tiger sitch); and (2) a guy who finds out the girl he's dating is a sex worker, and is grossed out by that because he…

@ExpressedDisapproval: My cousin is an OB/GYN at Northwestern here in Chicago. He's been delivering babies there for almost a decade now, and one of his go-to moves during the delivery when the father is there is to ask the couple to tell the story of how they met. That very scientific method has taught him that, at…

@sharkie792: If someone can find the Seventeen mag back to school issue in 1987 or 1988, I believe it is a dead ringer. This pic of Jessica Biel might have been like the prettiest candid of the prettiest senior girl in my freshman yearbook.

This racket is a fart!

My dad (who just turned 81 last week, so he was in his early 30s in Mad Men time, a pretty close Don Draper contemporary) would also like me to spread the word that men weren't that different then from now, either. He just told me a couple of days ago that he thinks the depiction of the men on the show is off. He…

@missing_piece: My initial reaction was kind of the opposite. I have no idea if I'm right about this, but my guess is that ESPN magazine doesn't have women on the cover very often. But when it's naked time, bring on the naken woman's body!

Is Kristen Wiig working on this imression already? It seems tailor-made for her — I thought that was her in the screen grab.

You know, I finally saw the September Issue last week, and I have a newfound lack of icy feeling toward A-Dubs.

@DexterHaven: Yeah, that sounds right. An artful contrast.
