They used to use Fred Armisen for any and all Asian roles - he is one quarter Korean - if I’m honest, I don’t think that’s enough to get away with offensive accents but they always made damn sure to place that info front and centre as cover against (reasonable) backlash.

Although sympathetic I can’t help noticing that Blasey Ford and others have told their stories to fight the status who and K Conway tells hers to pugnaciously prop it up. She threw herself under the bus cuz $$$ that’s how she gets paid. 

Hey there, who could argue with a season opener of Adam Driver promoting absolutely nothing.

I will just keep reposting it

Definitely low and kinda pathetic considering how many Asian actors have risen to prominence in recent years. Off the top of my head, Randall Park, Constance Wu, Kal Penn, John Cho (Yum) Dev Patel, Padma Lakshmi, Riz Ahmed (double Yum), Brenda Song, the Asian guy from Kimmy Scmidt, Priyanka Chopra, Ali Wong, Scarlet…

SNL has never had an Asian-American male on its cast but has used the same Asian crew member — production designer Akira Yoshimura — playing Sulu in various Star Trek sketches since 1976 and basically making a joke about how they don’t have a man of East Asian descent to play Sulu. That’s sums up how bad the situation…

I met my husband at a birthday party for his best friend who happened to be my upstairs neighbor. I had been drinking lemon drops all night (please don’t judge, I had just turned 21 and didn’t know any better) and was feeling fairly confident in my abilities to pick up the hottest guy at the party. He was so gorgeous, …

BUT HOW DID THEY MEET AGAIN??

Truth. I and the women in my life routinely use “it’s fine” as a phrase that means “it’s absolutely not fine, but it’s not worth the drama that the truth will bring up.”

Admittedly, I did not listen to Dr Ford’s part of the hearing, I was at work and I knew it would just upset me. I did listen to part of Kavanaugh’s because I was curious about how he would defend himself against her detailed (and entirely believable) accusations. I expected a professional to come out and sit down and…

I think Chris Evans has just bumped himself up in the Best Chris rankings with this one.  He is the most politically minded Chris... he may have taken over for Pine in my eyes today.  

Celebs: Stop dating your coworkers!

FKA Twigs...

The Dodgers know which gate she came in and who scanned her ticket. They have cameras all over the place. They’re a multi-billion-dollar operation in an extremely liberal market. I assure you that the aforementioned public relations office will not let that be the last the old dudes hear of it.

Miley’s a pretty good singer. But was there much talent to inherit in the first place?

The issue wasn’t “famous singer”, it was “LOOK, LOOK, LOOK WHO WE HAVE ON THE SHOW, IT’S THE GINGER GUY YOU LIKE, LOOK AT HIM SHOWING HOW MUCH OF A SHITTY ACTOR HE IS”.

I don’t mind that a famous person had a cameo, it bothered me that his face was in the foreground for so long. It was such a weird “HEY LOOK A FAMOUS PERSON” shot that it kind of hurt the scene.

Jared and Ivanka were on entertainment mogul and Democratic donor David Geffen’s $300 million yacht—one of the largest in the world—off the coast of Croatia, on vacation with Wendi Deng, a businesswoman and former wife of Rubert Murdoch.”
