You couldn’t pay me enough to hang out with most of these douchebags.

Sometimes I see things like this and I can’t help but feel jealous that all these people are richer, younger and hotter than me, without a care in the world. It really feels it’s 18th century France with the queen and the courtesans.

Will Carole Radziwell be in it?!?!!

I’m glad somebody is doing this reporting, but man Lauren do you do a lot of it. If I were you I’d need a breather every once in a while. You’re doing amazing work!

Barry Levinson just texted Micheal McKean and asked him to keep his calendar free.

Bill Maher is trash.

This former editor agrees with you. Do it guys, it would make an excellent college application essay.

So let me get this straight:

I think I’d like to help out as a clinic escort. Can you tell me more about it? Who can volunteer to be one? Do you need certain qualifications?

Bless you for helping these women. I’m sorry you have to run the gauntlet of these fanatics, but you are doing something incredibly brave and good. My own belief is that many of these people have thrown themselves into the cult of the unborn in order to cling to some trace of humanity within themselves: as Carl Jung…
