All this tells me is that Margaret Cho is probably, for reasons best known to her, broke. That or mysteriously in thrall to her mangager/agent.

Based on the photo above, Lindsay has gone from looking like 26-going-on-40 to being about six weeks this side of full-blown Jackie Stallone. Think about her career, and then think about how you’d feel knowing that it’s far more than likely that you’ll never be anything more than her less-successful baby sister.…

She’s a huge star, and good on her for it - but every time I hear her, all I can think is what all that shouting is going to do to her throat.

The trailer, as others in this thread have noted more eloquently than I, was a train wreck, making the movie look ugly, depressing, full of loud, fake effects, but most of all overwrought to the point of hysteria. I sat there being pummeled by it wondering how it came to be that smart people could spend so much money…

So do you suppose Danner - an accomplished and serious actress and apparently a pretty terrific person - is embarrassed by GOOP, or does she buy in to all the nonsense? I’ve long wondered what it would be like to have to be so publicly supportive while all the while being secretly, profoundly mortified.

The Moranbong gals aren’t bad, but I can’t forgive them for displacing in the big guy’s favor the previous in-group, the fabulous Pochonbo Electronic Ensemble (some or all of whom, it’s rumored, may have been executed). If you’ve never heard their amazing “Reunification Rainbow,” well... once you have, you’ll have it…

Following cardiac bypass surgery, I’ve had to radically overhaul my eating, and I’ve found that one major challenge is that so many of the resources available online for healthy recipes are also such rabbit-holes of craziness. No, I don’t want to go ultra-paleo-raw-whatever; I just want good reliable low-carb,…

NPR correspondents always have such great names for radio.

Stunning picture, but not so much Hepburn as Natalie Wood (whom Ryder could totally play, or whose roles she could pick up should they ever want to remake, say, Penelope...).

Reporting in from the men’s department that it’s no better over on our side. I recently got thin (yay!) and have been having to replace both my work and casual clothes. “Oh, goodie,” thought I, “I can go to the mall and for the first time in years get some stuff at J. Crew [among other fine retailers]!”

Sadly, Tallulah Bankhead’s version, A Royal Scandal, is almost unwatchably dull.

But can he still be referred to exclusively as “Governor Sammiches” (although now I’m leaning more toward “Governor Nachos-Tower”)?

ok then...like CHER!

If there really is one or more rooms, this is the closest thing I can imagine to a win-win-win situation. Even if it’s just more of King Tut’s stuff, that’s fantastic. If it’s something else unexpected, even more so. If it really is the tomb of Nefertiti, though, and especially if it was never robbed - if you’re into…

I’m ridiculously excited by this. I will never, ever go back to Egypt (hardest country I ever traveled in, and this was 14 years ago - the level of harassment still makes me upset)...

And then there’s the end of Sense and Sensibility. She’s a master weeper, and manages to never make it seem exploitative...

I’m with you. I truly believe that Thompson’s scene in the bedroom is among the great pieces of acting ever put on film. Total heartbreak, immediate and devastating, survived.

What’s the alternative...Cruz, Carson? They all terrify me now.

This stream of genius - increasingly rarer by the day here in Kinja-land - is the sort of thing that keeps me coming back to poor godforsaken ol’ Gawker. Bravo, Brava, Bravi. I’m going to spend the rest of the day imagining a stage show - Vegas, natch - featuring Chewdy Garland.

I can count on one hand the number of birthday parties I had during my entire childhood, birth to 18.
