"Wait, why did she just 'look out for Smaug', that doesn't make any sense."

All of the real Belles- there are so many amazing people with stories worth telling, and we never get them! I want more stories than just "pale girl does pale-girl things!"

What I love about this is that the actress, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, played a character in Lost in Austen who wouldn't visit Regency-period England because she was black. So this feels like a nice little bit of vindication.

I know everyone raves about Mean Girls but, I'll take this any day.

"AM I a gay fish???"

Oh man, I still love this soundtrack!

The only thing I remember about that movie was how TERRIFYING it was.

He disparages and insults women, including the mother of his two young children; he is racist and homophobic; he is an admitted illegal drug user,…

You know I have read some pretty shady things about Josh Groban. I think the bland wholesome thing is for the soccer moms and there $$$. I think he's actually a big freak.

Because of your post, I just want to take a moment to ask everyone to appreciate Sebastian Bach's beautiful hair.

Grant Imahara!

Yes! Ken Watanabe too.. all brooding and such most of the time, but such a killer smile when it comes out

My former gynecologist was Dr. Feintuch (pronounced "fine touch").

There is a Gyno in my area named Dr. Box. We also have a Dr. Rash who is a dermatologist.
