Emma Thompson has mentioned the hurt in several interviews. She spoke of mining that pain for the famous scene in Love Actually when she cries in the bedroom...with Joni Mitchell playing in the background. She also spoke go making up with Helena at some point.

Same here. Did not know any of this. Most of all that you need ghost writers for Instagram. I sat up last to read all these exposes and was sleepy this morning! What a waste of time, but I really was part fascinated and part aghast by young people. I do not understand these life choices. Most of all, these people who…

I was thinking the exact same thing! I have never given the side eye to self deprecative humor, but now I see something desperate there. Also, how is Scar jo still around after all that she has said? She just seems superbly reckless and careless...

this is golden. I have never seen this video...it never showed up on Indian MTV as that is what I had to depend on growing up. Thank you. Made my day. Haha. Rick James’ expression is golden.

I watched it with a lot of gaps. I cried a lot. I questioned why I would be putting myself through this, and you really said it beautifully.

That is so articulate. Thank you for writing this. As an Indian and Asian who has been living in the United States for a while now, I never know how to feel and respond to competitive events such as the Spelling Bee. I seek intensity with everything I do because I was raised like that. Summers in my childhood were…

She did not disparage those that work hard to get into USC or say it is worthless, she stated what is obviously true about USC....it is not renowned for its academic achievements in any way. 

Or its part of the matriarch’s script for them? I doubt any of them feel any real emotion when money and ratings are concerned. Now their fans will tune in to see this..the pregnancy angle is done, lets start a cheating scandal.  

You made me cry. Only because it hit home. 

Yes, I agree wholeheartedly. The first few episodes were ok, but then it was kind of funny. It is a light show and I do not know why it would get an award...but I liked seeing old people on TV. I am in my forties and it was relaxing for me to see the wrinkles on Michael Douglas’ face. I watched the whole show while…

It was Parvati who was always “depicted” as Shiva’s consort. Granted, Kali and Parvati were incarnations of Durga, but Kali was never about silent benevolent consorting with Shiva. I say “depicted” as for a child, its depictions that matter, not the intricacies of incarnation. 

That was a lovely read. I am so sorry about your brother.

I did acknowledge Grande has a dreamy voice. But she does not enunciate. What is she saying?? I thought both voice and enunciation were important to be considered good....no? We have good pretty recent examples of that: Adele, Amy Winehouse, and others. I did not say Alanis has a better voice than Grande if you look…

I have never heard Grande’s music or actually heard Miley singing live. I know I am old and I think I am going to be unpopular for saying this out loud. They were both underwhelming. One cannot pronounce and the other is just too raspy. Atleast Grande has a dreamy quality to her voice, thats it. What is she saying???…

I grew up in India. Being a young woman in India is like being in a zoo. Through school, university and work, all my friends and I did was be on the lookout for assholes..in trains, buses, theaters, classrooms, restrooms. I have been groped at railway stations, buses, theaters and my parent’s apartment building. Even…

I agree. I do not like her or her family. I get extra zealous with my criticism of them. Her sex tape is really not my concern. I should have clarified that. I have a problem with that family’s greed and irresponsibility. 

Can I ask a frivolous question. Why does McConnell’s skin gleam so much. It always looks like he just had a chemical peel. He has few wrinkles as well. I dont know much about white skin, but I really don’t see other white people age like that. It pisses me off for some reason. More than his fucking turtle neck.

yes, this. She is not a feminist or a a woman who knows what she is talking about. She grew up in Beverly Hills. She had all the privilege in the world. Yet she spends her time hawking hunger suppressing lollipops and waist trainers. Also, lets not forget her caustic family who will do anything to keep their vacuous…

anytime!

I saw my first bedbug infestation in Boston...and rats carrying pizza slices in New York City. India actually has better airports than shitty, aging carpeted US airports. I know Air India is not a very good airline but American airlines and British Airways are awful in attitude and service. You know it. Airlines suck…
