Mid-90s in NYC, I happened to be on a dinner date with Bob Weinstein (pleasant and funny, but also a little awkward and nerdy), when Steven Seagal came over to our table to say hello to him...wearing a silk kimono, bowing, hands in prayer position, acting as if he was the Dali Lama. It was bizarre. I tried not to…

Speaking as a woman, I’ve never before felt or been aware that ‘female’ was belittling and ‘woman’ wasn’t. Huh. After reading these comments, I am genuinely thinking it over. So far, I can’t say I can recall ever being offended by ‘female’ used instead of ‘woman’, except in the case that either one would be equally…

Just as a trival side note, Beth Stern is Howard Stern’s wife. Less trivial, she is very involved in animal rescue causes. Yay, Beth!

Silly little aside...seeing her name in print always makes me think of whether I need to make an appointment for a Pap smear. Though it seems like, given her age, her parents were kind of front runners of the trend of naming your child a completely normal name but messing up the spelling. Dooming the child not to a…

I would normally agree, but right now I’m watching Leah Remini’s Scientology show, and I have been marveling at her work. I usually don’t care for the heavy duty fillers and Botox and whatever, that cause faces to be so immovable, but in her case, I am strangely mesmerized and in awe of her. She looks like a…

So, Bob asked out a colleague to a dinner date (clearly a DATE, as she knew beforehand he had asked if she was single, meaning he didn’t want to ask a woman out on a date if she was already in a relationship). Then when she gives him a ride to the hotel he is staying at, he asks her if she would like to come in and,…

My mom actually made disparaging comments to me that I was ‘making a scene’ and making the doctors and nurses uncomfortable by copiously crying when my dad was suddenly on life support and we were being told he was brain dead (from a chiropractic neck adjustment that tore blood vessels and caused a massive stroke).…

Harvey didn’t take over Project Runway. He created it.

I think we both know I meant ‘poor’ in the sense of pitiable, not lacking money.

YES! Absolutely!

I just mentioned this in another comment, but saw yours and thought I’d say it again...Georgina was an aspiring actress, NOT an aspiring designer, when she hooked up with Harvey! He didn’t want her going to off to sets “and being around hot leading men” (I do know this first hand), AND at the same time, Harvey had…

I found it interesting that the NYT article did not mention Georgina or Eve (his first wife) at all. Eve started out as Harvey’s assistant and Georgina was a young starlet “friend” of Harvey’s who was sporting a big engagement ring before his divorce from Eve was even over...AND was suddenly a fashion designer instead…

Sounds like an exact copy of the wanker idea Small World, but trying to target millennials instead of Eurotrash

Is it just me, or does she now speak with more of a “baby voice” than she did back in 1998?

Very, very sorry for the loss of your nephew.

Shortly after the election, my 11 year old daughter said, “If having a TV show is now what qualifies you to be president, then Steve Harvey should run in four years. He has 2 shows, so that would make him even more qualified than Trump.”

Yep! I’m with you. The level of sensory scrutiny can drive me totally NUTS.

My sister and I loved the Donny and Marie show when we were little. We shared a room and every night before we stopped talking/goofing around for good (after our mom had yelled at us to cut it out 5 or 6 times), we would sing their closing song together, and at the end would say (in perfect seriousness), “Goodnight…

Been there, and still do it. And I feel involuntary love pouring out of my heart into your typed letters as I read them.

So very sorry to hear of all your important loses. How awful... My dad died unexpectedly in 2014 and I still can’t quite process it and find myself bursting into tears (or struggling not to) on a regular basis. Losing that many fathers/father figures so hard upon each other must be incredibly difficult! My one dad…
