I can only guess that perhaps they had not, in fact, reached the Chinese restaurant, but rather a gleeful prankster one digit off?

Miss Moore’s personal representative, who asked only to be identified as Max, said that the star was “on location, shooting her epic new film Salome.”

My mother’s generation may have associated jewelry with having a newborn around (and had the bracelets, brooches, and rings to prove it), but there was no way in hell they were going to take the responsibility for making the damn stuff.

Following a health crisis last February, I’ve had the chance to completely overhaul my diet and start an exercise plan. Starting with the first snap - taken while I was in the emergency room after my (minor, thanks be) heart atack, through the quad bypass, and ever since, I’ve found it singularly comforting and useful…

And after you’ve soaked in all that richness, for a change of pace, check out the Punchy Players and their fun video-collage takes on Judy and her pals. Here she goes to the Piggly Wiggly and meets an unexpected cashier...

I had always assumed there’d be a stream of “new” Harper Lee novels at some point, but I’d hoped people would have the grace to wait ‘til she passed. I’m still surprised there haven’t been more Salinger “discoveries.”

Actually, he’s a female former Olympian and reality TV star.

The sheer amount of garbage content like this is just astonishing - amorphous, stupid articles that seem to have mostly been written by machine, tagged with UpWorthy-worthy headlines and featured on strange, featureless sites - the stuff clogs up aggregators like Site, but I can’t imagine they can generate much money.…

Not quite as dramatic, but my best friend and I were driving north from Florida (like bats out of hell, actually) when we saw a tiny sign by the side of the highway announcing, at the next exit, the Ava Gardner Museum. We’re good enough friends that we didn’t even glance at each other, but I sure as hell pulled off.…

Link! Link!!! (Pretty please.)

You’re welcome! This guy’s stuff is weird and brilliant and sometimes more than a little disturbing; it always amuses me when one or another of his strange creations turns up uncredited elsewhere as the real thing. It seems to happen most with his hilarious “vintage” porn-mag covers.

The costumes in this picture (by the fabulous Travilla) are almost without exception sensational. Back when they were doing weekly rundowns of great musicals, the inimitable Tom & Lorenzo wrote up pretty much the definitive take on the film’s look - read it and laugh.

You have to be careful with this one. I’ve been spending a lot of time in my current assignment with people who are just joining the field I work in - they’re basically where I and my peers were a couple of decades ago. I was hoping that doing this work would in fact help me rediscover the motivation that made me…

This is such good advice for so many things, and it’s frustrating that one can’t better intuit that thing A goes well in part because all the loose ends are tidied up, so the same might help prevent the formation, let alone the continued and apparently indestructible existence, of that paper mountain on the dining…

Only tangentially related, but I’m deeply addicted to LiarTown’s brilliant Apple Cabin ad series:

TOO COOL! I love tatting, and I love RBG - so win/win for a Friday! Congratulations.

Jesus. If refusing to see your father makes you part of the Charles Manson cult, just call me Squeaky Fromme. I haven’t seen the man in 10 years. Best damn decade of my life.

At least comparatively speaking, they could hardly be anything but.

DisLoCait?

The only thing I believe is the prospect of a Kylie Jenner sex tape (probably within 10 days of her 18th).
