I think the Monster is T-Pain. It sounds like him, and most people only know him from the auto-tuned stuff. He’s actually got a really nice singing voice. And he’s also 5'8". I was sure the Peacock was Wayne Newton until I heard him sing, and then after some internet sleuthing, I am 100% sure it’s Donny Osmond. 

But seriously, what is the point of having the judges? It’s not to vote, because the audience is voting, too (and I’m also pretty sure it’s fixed, because no one picked the Unicorn over the Monster). All they do is blurt out ridiculous bullshit guesses as if they could ever be true in any reality.

My husband and I are 100% certain about two of them: Donny Osmond - Peacock & Rumer Willis - Lion. All of the clues, including their singing voices and height, fall in line. I feel pretty confident that the Monster is T-Pain. It sounds like him, and I think CeeLo is still too much of a controversial figure. The…

Seriously. I told my Grandmother straight up at Christmas this year that I wouldn’t pose for photos taken by her because she immediately posts them on FB. I was treated like an asshole saying that, but I don’t care. 

When my high school friend’s baby started eating solid foods, she started posting pics of him eating EVER SINGLE MEAL SHE FED HIM on her IG story. I get the inclination. I have hundreds of photos of my cats on my phone. But I might post 2 or 3 of the best of them per year, max. Maybe if I had kids, I might post a…

I wish I could tolerate Monique, because she can be funny when she’s not beating her catchphrase to death, but her drag is still SO sloppy. She seemed to think the problem was that in S10, she didn’t have access to the same funds as the other queens. However, that doesn’t really excuse how sloppy her makeup still is,…

The age of the victim isn’t really what’s material here. Kevin Spacey sexually assaulted him. He groped him without consent. 

I’ve read countless writers and listened to many podcast hosts go on and on about how Hereditary was such an amazing movie, but I have yet to meet anyone in real life who didn’t think it was a let down. I think I’d have enjoyed it a lot more had it not been riding full-steam on the hype train, but even if I had gone…

Totally agree. Nobody, Trump included, ever thought he’d actually win. The worst thing that ever happened to Trump was becoming president. Even if he makes it out of the office without being impeached, and even if he manages to never be indicted for any of the Russia stuff, his businesses and personal finances are…

Actually, the plan is even better than that: XFL games.

Even better? He’s playing Mike Hanlon as an adult in IT Chapter 2.

I’m glad I’m not the only one who noticed that.

Miley has a lovely voice, but much like Ariana Grande, she’s often unintelligible. Full-on, marbles in her mouth, garbled. It was so bad in her first performance that I fast-forwarded through the second (SNL’s eternal sound problems didn’t help, either).

My favorite live show this year was John Paul White (formerly of The Civil Wars) at a modest little listening room down the road from my house. I’ve never been to a show with a better crowd....everyone sat/stood and just listened to the music, which was fantastic. I got to see that David Byrne show, as well....even…

I think he’ll step down. See, he never thought he’d win the first time. In fact, he didn’t want to win.....he wanted to lose so that he could launch a right-wing Trump TV network to rival Fox News, and then spend the rest of his life on TV and Twitter and at his bullshit rallies talking about how Hillary stole the…

The exact date in April for the premiere hasn’t been announced yet, but it will certainly not be the 9th, since that’s a Tuesday. Based on the schedule of the other big Sunday night shows, I would guess that the premiere will be the last Sunday of April.

I definitely agree that it was the Catholic contingent that were the main force propping up Mary’s claim. And at least for a while, she also had the support of the leadership in Scotland, both Protestant and Catholic. I mostly just meant actual familial claim, because at every point of the Tudor dynasty from its…

Didn’t she have the best claim if one considered Henry VIII’s marriage to Anne Boleyn invalid and Elizabeth I’s birth illegitimate? It’s part of the logic they used to put Lady Jane Grey on the throne, and she had even less of a claim than Mary. If you don’t count Elizabeth in the succession, with Henry VIII’s line…

FWIW: I’ve read a lot of complaints that the trial size container of DE’s C-Firma does not protect it against oxidation. 

My mother was the same way. Her father abandoned her and her sister when they were infants and was never a part of their lives. My father left when I was 6 years old, but my mom went out of her way to try to facilitate a relationship between he and I, even though he was a raging alcoholic drug addict that frequently…
