Well, I’m happy for you, but your own life experience doesn’t necessarily translate to everyone else’s. Which, being smart enough, I thought would have been obvious to you.

Despite her genuine talent and considerable charm, Rita is pretty much only a thing in England. If this were done there, maybe you’d have a point, but it wasn’t.

Good point. If Rita wanted that cover, and I’m sure she did, she wasn’t likely to get it by saying, “No, I won’t work with Terry Richardson.” They probably would just shoot another singer/model topless, and label her “difficult” in France.

John Travolta has five planes. I really think Mariah, at double his net worth or more, can afford one, plus a pilot’s salary.

If it’s what Caitlyn Jenner OR Charlie Sheen did, by definition it’s the wrong way to do it.

Ha I know. My best guess: My closet, circa 1974...

These are full dentures, I’m sure of it. Or a plate attached to implants, which is basically the same thing.

Well, a cane and a monocle would be in keeping with these cartoony dentures, so sure, I believe that.

Holy crap these things have a glow-in-the-dark life of their own

You know, on reflection - thanks you’re right. I would edit but I don’t want to be that false douchebag. That’s a matter of my personal place at the moment, apologies. If I can be permitted to extrapolate...

Well it’s not exactly new. I think this is something that people worldwide may commonly say when referring to black Americans.

With regard to Delpy’s quote only, yes, she’s talking about Americans and the American movie business. That’s pretty much the only thing here that I wouldn’t call her out on, unless I had some tremendous urge to split hairs for its own sake (which has been known to happen, but I’m not feeling it at the moment).
