You forget that the best part is the voting. Because there are so many contestants now they have streamlined the process but before, every country would call in and announce the votes of their jury, the highest being 12 points, (or, because it’s so much more fun to say: douze points!) in a painstakingly slow manner

Bobby needs his gay card revoked for not mentioning the wins of Dana International (98 Israel, first and only out trans contestant) and Conchita Wurst (14 Austria, the bearded drag queen)

I loved Eurovision when I was a kid. Especially in the 90s when Ireland went on a winning streak and putting on the show every year nearly bankrupted us. Ever since, we’ve sent Jedward, Dustin the Turkey, and a selection of beige singer songwriter types that have morphed into one image in my brain. Plus the strategic

Look at Bianca Lawson, silently laughing at us all because she still looks like a teenager.

Since the Hollywood Walk of Fame is more of a promotional thing than it is a real honor (the “honoree” has to pay $40k to get one or have that money paid on their behalf), getting a star often happens as a part of an awards campaign. I assume that’s what’s happening now.

I’m guessing that he’s off the hook for marrying someone restricted since George and Charlotte were born, especially as there’s another one on the way (I think? Or was that grocery store checkout lies?).

I think the queen has been around long enough to accept that the heart wants what it wants. From her uncle who abdicated toher sister to her own son (not to mention various minor royals), trying to stop marriages like this *doesnt* work and throws the monarchy in chaos. Windsors are concerned with staying the

I also like that she’s older. Only a couple years, it’s really not a big deal, but I think there’s still a bit of stigma around the woman being older in a relationship, especially when you know as soon as they’re married the next Q from everyone will be “BAAAAABIIEEEEES??????”

Lord Frederick of Windsor married an actress of Jewish descent a few years ago

Until recently the Queen had to give permission to any royal wanting to get married, but the law was amended a few years back to only include the first six royals in the line of succession. Harry currently sits at #5 and once the new baby arrives he’ll be #6. Not to be too cynical, but I imagine the fact that he’s

I think the Queen has learned a lot from the way that the first marriages of her three eldest children failed.

I know a lot of people are hyper critical of the royals and being an American I’m not even going to jump in that fray, but regardless it seems that Harry is one of the good ones. I think Diana would be overjoyed that he got to marry whomever he wanted. That alone is worth celebrating.

Congrats to Meghan and Harry. When Harry released that unprecedented statement last year, it was clear that he felt she was the one. It looks like he did a decent job with the ring based on the pictures I saw earlier. The side stones were from Diana’s collection. There is some debate about how much jewelry actually

No mention of the Prince Harry and Megan Markle engagement? That must be getting a separate post. Surely the sixth in line to the throne marrying a biracial divorcee deserves a mention? I’m actually excited about this and I think the royals are useless.

The boots across the street from me has a full high-end make up section - Chanel, Urban Decay, etc (I can’t remember any more makeup brands!). But it’s very swanky.

I want to give the person who screamed “open concept sucks” at the property brothers a medal. I have already told my spouse, when it comes time to house buying, I hate open concept with a fiery passion. I want a huge kitchen. Massive. The size of my fucking apartment right now. And I want doors and walls around it so

I was hoping there would be a small blurb about Mariah leaving her crazy, fame hungry manager.

He totally missed the opportunity to go minimalist with the catchphrase: “Hello.”
