But that’s the point. Sacha Baron Cohen wanted to make a Freddie Mercury biopic, Brian May wanted to make a Queen biopic. Those are distinctly different projects. Thematically, SBC and judging from the comments quite a few other people think focusing on Freddie Mercury makes for a more compelling movie. I appreciate…

Part of me thinks this ‘health matter’ could just be a cover for Singer laying low ahead of even more damning harassment/assault allegations.

If you are the type of person who considers Taylor Swift a bad bitch, then I guess you also think sour cream is spicy.

Oh I will very much be going to the party, haha...

This is great reading.
These million dollar bogus fig leaves the NFL buys, really go to what a rotten organisation it is.
Diana is tenacious AF. Willing to go down rabbit holes that ESPN or whoever either can’t or won’t. And with the NFL we need it.
Great stuff, thanks.

P.S. We need to nationalise the NFL.

But Pine is in the Wet Hot American Summer sequels and he is delightful in them. Delightful!

This sketch made Pine #2 Chris behind Evans.

Pine’s the best actor of all the Chrises and it’s not particularly close.

The Department of State is being horrendously hollowed out by Trump and Tillerson, as an oped in today’s Washington Post by former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright points out. Neither Trump nor Tillerson believes in diplomacy, and Tillerson recently made the ludicrous argument that cutting the department budget…

Poor Armie Hammer. I can’t imagine the pain and turmoil he’s going through by being called white and privileged. How dare anyone not mistake his utter mediocrity for genius?

I heard he spent yesterday driving to his 16 year old son’s prep school to be with him when the story broke and my immediate read of this line was that he was apologizing not to his actual victims, but to his son for embarrassing and hurting him.

She’s not rejoicing, I’ve been driven out of jobs I loved (by non-sexual harassment) and of course the scum were fired after I left, and it made me so angry no one gave a flying fuck while I was the one being shit on.

The stuff about Johnny Iuzzini does not suprise me In. The. Slightest.

the 2 door wrangler actually still looks good. the 4 door looks like one of those medical shows on TLC where someone has uncontrollable tumors growing throughout their body

“Herring, raw, pickled or brined, is a delicacy across Northern Europe and everyone takes it very seriously”

Agreed. Lauer has always been utterly terrible and abysmal at his job. There have long been rumors over the years about what an asshole he was like to work with and how abusive he was to his co-workers, especially his female co-workers. Katie Couric hated him (she said years ago that he sexually harassed her), he got…

Yes he did. Has long been speculated that Lauer is a philandering masogonist with a huge ego. Rumors flew last year that Natalie Morales was “reassigned” to the West Coast because of her refusal to work closely with Lauer. NBC has known about these types of allegations for years. #flushemout

No idea. But I do know that she would get “I’m-a-serious-journalist-now face” when talking about anything Clinton. Chuck Todd used to do the same fucking thing when talking about Obama’s re-election campaign.

I’m guessing the Variety story must be really awful, and I hope it moves ahead anyway. NBC needs to look like it took action so I guess this is it?

Matt Lauer’s firing was about as expected as Donald Trump’s incompetence. Figuring out who sexually harasses women isn’t very difficult to predict. Lauer consistently gave Trump and O’Reilly a pass on their shitty behavior while grilling HRC about emails and telling her to keep her answers brief.
