I saw a few people going “She needs to fire her agent!” She and Mark Wahlberg have the same agent...

Never thought I’d defend Elon Musk, but I have been the person who didn’t realise a sex party was going on, and I have also knowingly been to sex parties. Some people vaguely in my social circle had this big house and they’d have parties there. I went a couple of times and found it really boring. Was on a date with a…

It was a member of staff hosting - a ‘senior academic’ as well. Probably they just have an automated room booking service, and no one’s going to look at what is actually going on in those rooms.

As someone from the UK, but not London, it’s funny to hear someone say that London is cheap for food and drink. I absolutely don’t doubt that it is compared to New York, but one of the main complaints the rest of us have about London is how expensive it is - especially booze. Like, it’s a cliche to complain that it’s…

This is not meant to express any sympathy for Kevin Spacey in any way, but I suspect he has less of a shot at redemption thanks to homophobia. Like, people already think being gay is wrong or weird or creepy, and to those people, his actions are a result of or otherwise linked to him being gay - whereas for straight…

I love their Miss Universe coverage! When I saw it was FIVE PARTS this year I just about squeaked with glee at my desk.

I was looking at an old Tom and Lorenzo post earlier which described Armie Hammer as ‘yogurt parfait’. Granted this was because he was wearing a pastel suit, but I think it’s the perfect characterisation of him in general.

There was an NY Times article about this where a former member said the recruiter made it sound like a ‘bad-ass bitch boot camp’. It also works a bit like Scientology in that there are a few levels of general self-help crap until you get to the upper ‘hardcore’ levels.

No, when I say school I mean high school, not college, and this was known among the other parents and got passed down to my friend that way.

Makes sense. On a different tangent, a friend of mine went to school with his daughter, and reportedly he and his wife had an open marriage and both slept with a wide variety of people. To which I say - good for them!

Exactly, by that logic Alan Rickman would have turned into some kind of moustache-twirling villain given his casting over the years, and he very distinctly didn’t. You only become that kind of person if you were always that kind of person, deep down.

My I take this moment to link to the finest possible exegesis of Tom Hiddleston + dogs http://tomandlorenzo.com/2016/09/tom-hiddleston-for-gucci-cruise-2017-tailoring-ad-campaign/

I get what you’re saying with this as a hiring method, but as someone who can come across as cold on first meeting (and I’ve actually been told by a hiring manager that I came across as cold) I’m not too fond of it. I try to be friendly and everything in interviews, and I’m popular with my actual colleagues, but I’m…

I don’t doubt that and I’m not dismissing the impact of that trauma, just the way it’s been used by his PR team as a form of damage limitation.

I mean this sort of thing happens all the time: http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater-manchester-news/suburbia-brawl-stabbed-video-dead-13697466 That’s the most recent one I could find from my wonderful home city of Manchester, but trust, ‘aggressively British’ is a thing.

There was a really great BBC documentary about modelling agencies who recruit from Siberia and then ship the kids off to Asia for months in dodgy circumstances - it’s the third episode of Reggie Yates’ Extreme Russia, ‘Teen Model Factory’.

Exactly, none of the stuff in that article sounded at all charming to me, especially him being so handsy with every woman he comes across, apparently. Seems a little tone-deaf of GQ to publish an article where a huge chunk of it is “He just goes up to women and touches them! It’s so charming!”

Yep. Add to that the fact his estranged brother has been dredged up out of nowhere to tell the press about the horrible childhood they had. Another thing being rather distastefully used as part of his PR team’s efforts to push this ‘He’s a damaged person, he can’t help himself’ line.

When I used to get sleep paralysis in my late teens and early twenties, I would often see a huge spider crawling up my sheets and then when it got to my chest, it would jump at my face. I’m scared of spiders. It would always make me leap out of bed, so it was definitely a trick my brain played on me to shake me out of…

I’m sure there are plenty of factors contributing to the decline of hedgehogs, but one of them has to be the sheer number of cats people have now. I know that cats have had an impact on bird populations, and the only time I’ve ever seen a wild hedgehog, it was on its last legs having been attacked by one of the…
