Someone pointed out last week how ridiculous it was for Petra to be calling Helen in the evening, since it would be three hours later for Petra, but maybe that’s because the story was about to post online? But that led me to a lack of understanding that this “major story” everyone was so excited about wasn’t for

That little shit was standing in front of Nathan Phillips purely so he could look like a big shot to his friends. End of story. And fuck NBC for giving him a microphone to lie about it. I stopped watching Today long before Matt Lauer was exposed for the creepy dick he is, but it’s now a cold day in hell before I watch

I kicked in a few bucks. Happy to do so. 

I like her so much, this makes me hopeful and happy. Just don’t read any of the comments on Twitter, because the deplorables are already out in force.

I was really bothered this morning because M Live, the site for a group of regional newspapers in Michigan, ran a story about the state’s abortion statistics. I just thought, Why? I mean, it’s numbers, it doesn’t ID anyone or violate any privacy, but it just seems like a story meant to stoke flames. Do other papers in

In other news I really loved that trench Penny wore this week. That stupid see-through-her-shirt joke was indeed stupid, also because her wardrobe has gotten better and more polished as her character has succeeded in the pharm job.

HBO has been running a-season-a-day of The Sopranos since the weekend, so that’s where you’ll find me. Because I prefer my mob bosses to be fictional, not installed in the Oval. 

I’d never want anyone to go without their paycheck, especially at Christmas. On the other hand, I want Drumpf to own this until he chokes on it. 

You know he doesn’t even remotely mean it re RBG. He tweeted that and then said something awful to whomever was standing nearby. I’d bet my life on it.

I write about fashion and tweet a lot about red-carpet stuff, and anytime I tweet info about Priyanka Chopra and what she’s wearing, people go nuts literally all over the world. The response from her fans is insane and easily rivals Taylor Swift or Lady Gaga. All of which is to say: Priyanka doesn’t need a Jonas to be

Meh, I’m going to stay #TeamKim on this one. The Mr.-Big-Kicks theory was everywhere, and I can see SJP & Co. building an entire film around Carrie facing that and the journey through. They wanted Kim for comic relief alone — that storyline about Brady sending her dick pics, yuck — so who could blame her for saying

You just know Tiffany & Co. paid to have her host her shower there. So, so thirsty all around. 

She showed up 45 minutes late for one of the fashion shows last season — whatever designer it was who thought it was somehow newsworthy to have Tiffany freaking Trump on their front row — and man, people were pissed. I’m happy to say I didn’t go to this show, because if you’re holding a show for 45 minutes to await

If not for any of this, damn I hope New York comes after her for her “work” in the foundation, or someone finds a way to resurface the charges against her that Cy Vance quashed (that guy, UGH). I would LOVE to see Ivanka have to be taken into account for something, especially all the lies she told about sales in Trump

Nope, no pity. He’s an asshole and a scumbag. Never feel even a tiny bit of pity for this awful human being. And here’s why: Because if the situation were reversed, he would never feel any pity for you; he would laugh or scoff and call you weak. He might be stupid and in over his head, but he also doesn’t possess a

You guys, my mom keeps Fox News on three TVs (no joke) throughout the house all damn day long. Please count yourselves lucky. I would trade places with you in a heartbeat. 

Omigod I’m dying I want this so bad. 

Depends on where you live, but it doesn’t have to be a cutesy tea house - a lot of very nice hotels do afternoon tea. I did one with a friend at the Peninsula recently, and it was very nice. And a lot of afternoon teas also include a glass of Champagne for an additional charge — and then trust me, it’s a lot easier to

Cohen literally dominated MSNBC coverage until maybe about a half-hour ago. They’re finally starting to talk about Deutsche Bank, but still nothing about Burke.

I went on one of the Cunard cruise ships several years ago, and because they are VERY British, they did a traditional tea every afternoon, and I totally fell in love with the concept. This was years before Downton Abbey, which I think burrowed into Americans’ minds the idea that tea was a civilized thing “one just
