Bernstein offers example after example of how others have pulled it together in spite of terrible circumstances. A divorcing single mom lit a fire at Christmas time and has decided to get more into the season; a single woman sleeps late on Christmas morning and buys herself a lot of stuff.

I desperately need this. I went to a Christmas party last night in a charming clean home (despite the fact a 3 year old lives there), full of elegant successful charming people, good food that didn't come from a Mac and cheese box, and what did my toddler do? Grabbed the host's hairbrush and used it to aggressively…

"I'm all for enjoying what you've earned, except for this case, when you can't enjoy what you've earned."

I'm all for enjoying what you earned. But something I get sickened by the excess of the rich. Just... ugh fuck em.

I am the poor version of Jennifer Aniston. I don't have kids, not going to have kids, and while she spends her time in Cabo and at yoga, I spend my time doing WHATEVER THE FUCK WE PEASANTS DO TO PASS THE TIME. Also: whatever I want.

I hope Mara fares better than the majority of his other wives did...

did you know it's a violation of the geneva convention to broadcast pictures of delicious cookies to people who currently do not have, and cannot at present go get, delicious cookies? i'll see you at the hague.

The best part was that when my mom came to get me after I got fired (I was 16 — I couldn't drive myself yet!) she wanted to stop by the mall on the way home. There was a fancy new store that sold tapes and CDs (! — hey, this was 1986!) opening up, and they were setting up the store. In a fit of bravado I asked if they…

This is highly insulting, considering how critical Cosby has been of black people in general. Now he wants black people in the media to give him a black pass? He can go drug himself and fuck himself!

Hey Cosby: the media (black and white) ARE biased, towards you. If 19 women (that's the latest number, right?) came forward and said Joe Schmo raped them, it wouldn't be getting as much coverage. But no one* would publish editorials in Joe's defense. No one* would scream about "innocent until proven guilty" as if…

"Let me say this. I only expect the black media to uphold the standards of excellence in journalism and when you do that you have to go in with a neutral mind," Cosby said.

Yes! I'm so much more comfortable with hideous animosity dressed up in a little polite passive-aggression. It's so depressing that Pascal/Rudin don't even care enough to PRETEND that they're more professional than this. The world's changed, Frannie. Assholes don't even disguise it any more. No manners at all.

Good for you for taking her to a lawyer. Good for you for being a strong support for her.

Lately, I've noticed in the media, that when people of higher standing, or "look or sound more respectable" have come out about their experiences, the media treats them VERY differently, and with much more respect (not that there was that much respect in the first place when it comes to these things) Why is it that we…

It gives me the heaving willies whenever I think about how it's likely that other actors we love and admire are hiding something hideous. They're out there. They have to be. People we like and think fondly of.

this is very moving to me - my cousin just came to my office during lunch day before nd confessed that she was raped by her boss 4 months before - but he threatened to sue her and threatened to have her and her 3 kids deported & we went together to the lawyer to talk it out that very evening. she said that this whole…

Business is often about the most ruthless, cunning and manipulative. It often has little to do with actual intelligence or communication skills.

What's funny is that ANY ONE OF THOSE SONY EXECS would shit fire if someone asked them to use their precious contacts and clout to do something for free.
