A lot of porn encourages rape culture, certainly, but that really doesn't mean any recording of people having sex automatically encourages rape culture.

More cute than insane. Waiting back stage at the Kennedy Center Honors, just me and Tom Hanks. He was waiting for his cue to enter, and I was the first to places for the choir entrance. Mr. Hanks was watching the backstage monitor as the house camera panned the audience. When the camera landed on Rita Wilson, Mr.…

I met John Ritter in a bar and he asked me to hold his beer. Then he immediately yelled, "BARTENDER! THIS KID IS GETTING DRUNK OVER HERE!!", which made everyone in the bar turn and look, and me blush like crazy (I was 11). Then he bought me a water... which, errm.. was free. Because water. Also because open bar..…

Better late than never, and most definitely should've posted this story sooner but here it goes. I do promise this will make you smile.

I've always found it particularly cruel how people have really jumped on Kanye so hard for his behavior in the last few years, when it was abundantly clear that he felt a tremendous amount of guilt for his mother's death. I'm not going to say the way he coped with it was ideal, but everyone grieves differently. Plus,…

And also, as Jia points out, you can't help but feel they're actually using the implied sexual harassment of the cover graphic as some sort of titillating visual. Like, ooh, we got your attention with this - now let me tell you how the exact behavior we just encouraged is harmful for women.

I am fully ready to admit that I started watching Suits because of the glory that is Gabriel Macht's fucking face but I am still wholly invested in the ludicrous notion that is the show because of Jessica Goddamn Pearson.

I'll check with my legions of fans.

I think you just hit the nail on the head to why I liked it so much. Great chemistry with even greater issues is pretty much my M.O. Haha.

I think that may have been his father? Something about how he didn't understand why his son didn't use a stage name to avoid decedents of their ancestor's slaves coming to him for reparations?

"B-b-b-but the NAACP has 'coloured' in their name! Where's the outrage there?!"

No. I'm biracial and while I get why he needed to apologize (the term is outdated and is used by racist people) I also can get that he used a term that he thought was okay to discuss an issue that actually impacts people of color. He is nowhere close to the same as people who intentionally use racist language (or say…

Most of them probably aren't even being lead by political beliefs. They are being led by mob mentality and knee jerk holier-than-thou reflex.

Over on my FB feed is a looong thread of what a turd Benedict Cumberbatch is, and how racist this was, and how entirely unforgivable. I am not a big fan of BC, but this is so sincere and appropriate and seemingly in his own voice—how can this be an unacceptable apology? I am impressed by it and think it should count…

Now that's how you apologize for being an idiot.

Damnit.

Berger was always my favorite.

I do. I really try to. But man, don't we all like the differences in others? I do. Rashida is mad gorgeous.

I was in Indiana at the time so you're not too far off ;-)

I hide from the sun, and secretly pine for a little melanin in my skin. Because I have two colors - white, and lobster red. :(
