When I lived in LA my standard “Hollywood thing to do with visiting tourists from home” was take them to a taping of Jay Leno, and that started around noon. Jimmy Kimmel shoots later (is he live?) - I only remember that because a friend helped me hang backstage with the Smashing Pumpkins (15-year-old self, your dreams…

Boring gossip: When Lauren Holly was written out of NCIS (you know, the number one drama on TV, except if you live on the coasts or are under 65 you’ve never heard of it) they didn’t even let her act her own death. They chose pettiness and spent much more than her episode salary on a perfect replica dummy for her…

Thank you! I am 100% pro-choice. When friends have come to me with unexpected pregnancies (I guess I’m that person - it’s happened rather often!) I try to talk them through their options honestly and accurately (a few friends haven’t known you can terminate an early pregnancy with just pills, not surgery, for example…

All I know is that when I was 19 I briefly dated a 27-year-old who was obsessed with barely legal porn, always wanted me to dress in my old school uniform during sex, and after I dumped him, called me to tell me (very proudly) that he’d just fucked a 14-year-old, so I wasn’t special now!

Hemsworth, Plummer, Christoph Waltz > Evans. It’s simple math because I put the > in there. You can’t argue with simple math.

I knew Weinstein was a monster and it was hardly a secret, but you’re right... at least a hundred women, a lot of them high-profile, seemingly “powerful” women? The money? The frickin’ Mossad? I would not have believed the rabbit hole went that far. Now...

Poodletime says many awesome things, I wouldn’t doubt it.

I do media consultancy work for some high-profile people and know a few others who do the same. We all insist our clients tell us anything that could become a crisis so we can be ahead of the story if it happens; they almost never do. So we do oppo research on our own clients, because that’s how we can best help them.…

It’s true that CK has certainly cultivated a more “enlightened” (‘public,’ at least) image than Stanhope, and I’m no fan of his either, but if I remember correctly the original blind was about “a critically cherished sitcom auteur”... that just does not describe Doug Stanhope. I saw that blind - how many years ago was…

This is why I’m not saying “see?” and “where’s my apology?” like a few people on here to everyone who attacked me for relaying two stories I had heard directly from victims years ago (neither in the NYT five, either... I was literally crying once I realized that, how many others are there?) I can only imagine that it…

One of the stories I know (not reported in the NYT) happened in a venue bathroom. But he lured TWO young women comics in there, one got the hell out as soon as things started seeming off (he’d promised “career advice” to get them in) while the other... well guess what happened to her. At first when I saw that I…

There are more. I was literally crying reading the story when I realized the two women who separately told me their stories years ago were not among the NYT five. And since the 90s? I feel sick wondering how many more they are.

I added my “own alleged insight” multiple times when people said “it’s not CK, leave him alone, this is bullshit.” The two women who told me this happened to them (years ago, separately, before Jez or Gawker said a word) are not among the five in the NYT story. But if this behavior truly goes back to the 90s, how can…

I’m crying so hard I’m shaking. I have been here for a long time saying “It is CK, two female comedians told me (years apart, before Jez or Gawker ever said a thing) that he’d done this to them on separate occasions, and I believe them especially since one was so deeply traumatized.” I wasn’t going to out them and I…

My son started preschool at 3, and pretty soon he was telling me about his current “girlfriend” or “boyfriend” practically every week. It was basically just his favorite friend at the time, and I never challenged it - he was 3 and nothing sexual or related to sexuality was ever implied in these “relationships,” there…

I lived in “Hollywood” (place and concept) for a decade - I moved home to Australia last year - and not everyone is gay. Maybe only 90% of male actors are gay or bi, not ALL of them!

I worked briefly for a chiropractic/alternative medicine clinic running their weight loss program, and the chiropractor didn’t seem to do much chiropracting. He did, however, find me at every.single.break and tell me that since I was so relatable and all the weight loss clients loved me I could make a fortune selling…

I remember him doing a really great rap about Puerto Rico’s debt problems on Last Week Tonight with John Oliver over a year ago... the main clearly really cares about PR.

I’m with you, but I think the misuse is so common these days it is now just use. Language adapts, and I’d argue “begging the question” has lost its original meaning (or at least now has two meanings) in common parlance.

An incredibly talented fundraiser... the Obamas are never going to be able to retire.
