“The “wives” being threatened have reacted in ways akin to Carrie Underwood’s “Before He Cheats,” threatening pretty remorseless violence against these women”

I’m not a country fan, but, in defense of that song, other than making fun of her cocktail choices, Carrie Underwood leaves the other woman out of it and directs…

Thank you for this article. I’m a middle-aged Gen-Xer and was today years old when I learned the name of the character is Durand Durand, not Duran Duran.

From the timing, it doesn’t sound to me like he planned to murder her; it sounds like they had an altercation; he killed her and then panicked and googled how to cover it up. Not saying he’s not dumber than a bucket of hair also, but I don’t think it was planned.

God, those 3 little kids.  I feel awful for them.  I…

I don’t know how much he really internalized that it wasn’t okay for him to touch women non-consensually, though. I read that terrible Jane Mayer article about him and the thrust of it seemed to be, “He didn’t know! He’s just a bumbling guy, come on, he doesn’t even know how to make snacks!” and “It was all Kirsten…

I don’t think there was a way around doing time skips. The part of Fire & Blood that HOT D (I too, am a child inside) is telling is smack in the middle of the book, so the show is picking up in the middle of the story and trying to get us all caught up.

She voted with Trump 93% of the time. As far as Congress is concerned, where it’s about the vote, her replacement will be a lateral move.

She’s a carpetbagger, who moved into Wyoming to win a Congressional seat. Not that I have anything against carpetbaggers; Hillary Clinton was one, too. But Clinton put in the f*cking…

It seems to me the better thing to wish for, if one actually cares about the nation, is for the Democrats to gain a few seats so that Manchin and Sinema would become equally irrelevant, and yet then the country wouldn’t burn in the process.

You’re right about Nena; “99 Luftballons” went to #2 in the USA. I heard both versions a lot, too, although the German version was the one that charted. I think it was the last top ten not to be in English until “La Bamba” (another banger from the 80s, albeit a cover of a 50s song).

Edit: I just googled, and I’m wrong; …

“99 Luftballons” peaked at #2 on the Billboard Hot 100, right behind Van Halen’s “Jump.” The English language version didn’t chart in the US, but the German language one did just fine.

Years ago I found a great gossipy behind-the-scenes web page on 90210 that I wish I’d screen-saved. I remember one of the posts being from someone who worked on the show (tech) who said Doherty, having been a child actress since forever, was one of those who could stay out late partying and still come in with her…

Not when you’re dealing with a huge number of people. I have first-hand experience of being on a set where someone in tech had a rapid test come back positive (thankfully it turned out to be false, as 2 subsequent PCR tests showed), and filming had started for the day by the time production got the news. Everything…

Talent arrives really early for a morning show. I think it’s better they risk an occasional awkward hour of TV than tell the hosts to regularly show up even earlier, because that means the crew has to show up even earlier than that. IATSE is considering a strike in part because of the brutal hours crew are expected to…

I’m so sorry; what a horrible day you had to go through. But you did the right thing. It’s a great tragedy for us that their lives are so much shorter than ours, but it’s a great blessing for them; you have taken on the responsibility of grieving, and your good girl never had to know a moment without you.

I had an…

Oh yeah, science is never going to say something absolutely CANNOT happen, but the overwhelming evidence so far is that vaccination not only prevents severe illness for the vast majority of recipients, but also transmission. I agree with you about masking indoors; I still mask up, even though I both had Covid last…

Breakthrough infections aren’t unexpected; as said, she is asymptomatic. Plenty of people who get vaccinated will still catch Covid, the key is, since they are vaccinated they will A) only get mildly ill, if they even get ill at all, and B) not ever be contagious enough to pass it along to anyone.  She’s doing the…

The countdown to Stewart becoming a regular contributor to FOX News has begun.

I mean, it probably shouldn’t be surprising; TDS show under him always had a mean streak, but it wasn’t so apparent (at least to me) until John Oliver took over hosting it for a spell. Seeing a white guy be political and funny without…

Not gonna lie, I’d never heard of this show, and, upon reading the name here, initially thought HGTV had a reality show about two people running a Chicago addiction center.

Yeah; that’s the big thing- don’t put your pet in situations where they can fail. Mine is the kindest and most submissive dog you could imagine around people, but she’s terrified of other dogs, and like a lot of animals (and people, for that matter) she tries to deal with her fear by showing how tough she is.  So, I…

I don’t disagree with you; these idiot influencers clearly didn’t properly supervise their kid and dog. I’m a dog owner now (got a pit bull mix when my son was 3) and while she has never been anything other than utterly kind and patient with him in the almost 8 years we’ve had her, I made sure I was always nearby the…

As a kid, I was bitten by our mini schnauzer more times than I can remember. Never once, did I not deserve it. I can’t imagine my family having euthanized her because I teased her to the point where she told me “STOP IT” the only way she knew how.
