Jackson was one I thought might be okay. He definitely did not know what kind of behavior was appropriate for an adult around children, but that seemed understandable considering the abusive home he grew up in and how he was surrounded by sycophants who wouldn’t have a talk with him but he was so clearly suffering…

Eh, for some of us porn is hot and a good gogoboy is hot but it’s even hotter if a guy can move like a professional dancer, has stage presence and good choreography. Broadway Bares is still pretty popular even when people have other choices.

Wasn’t there a time she tried to leak a story about how upset she was with her husband’s tweeting but she was talking to a reporter who didn’t promise to keep her anonymous and reported on the call, including the part where she tells the reporter to refer to Conway as “a source close to the couple” or something like…

That’s what infuriates me about things like the #HimToo hastag, which would have been great if it were about supporting male survivors of sexual assault. Instead it was about trying to undermine #MeToo.

Ugh. I’m not sure what is worse, that or thinking Viacom execs let Schnieder keep working with children because his shows were hits.

There’s a culture that protects abusers. Noah Galvin joked (insensitively, IMO) about what was just common wisdom about Singer and he was quickly made to apologize, that part of the interview was deleted from the website and there were immediate rumors that his show might be cancelled because of the interview (it was…

Sending people from a group genuinely-named “No More Deaths” to prison for their work is peak AreWeTheBaddies.gif

Maybe it can be in a flashback like how Leslie Grossman played Kristen Bell’s mom on The Good Place despite being only nine years older than Bell.

That happened to me twice at Thai restaurants. The first time, I was stupid and didn’t realize they add fresh chiles to your soup just before they serve it to you, so that it will be as hot as you order. I thought it was a cooked chile and would only be a little hotter than the soup.

We’ve had to push back multiple times on arguments that we should support terrible women like Ivanka Trump and Sheryl Sanberg on the idea that it’s feminist for women to obtain power, no matter what they do with it.

You reminded me of a column I read a few years ago, I wish I could find it again to reread but my luck hasn’t been good. The host of a book-focused talk show decided he should strive to have 50% of his guests be female writers. However, he wrote, he quickly realized it wasn’t as simple as looking at being aware of the…

As I recall, one of Stewart’s initial defenses of Weiner (until it became that was him) was that he would have remembered if the guy had a bulge like that.

All candidates are going to have to deal with dirty tricks to some degree (and I put sexist trolls in that general category) so in evaluating the candidates I ask how I think they’ll hand’e the difficult parts of the campaign. Every female candidate is going to face misogynistic attacks, I’m pretty sure Sherrod Brown…

Ack forgot the link:

From my understanding, that was CK and his manager Dave Becky. Pamela Adlon fired Becky for his part in that but he still has a long list of clients, which is very disappointing.

What was striking to me about the Hulu doc is how he managed to get money from other shady people who, apparently, don’t know how to spot a shady investment opportunity.

Ehhhh, I lived in California during the recall election. There was sadly a lot of people who didn’t care to learn about Schwarzenegger’s positions (or even cared about his sexual harassment allegations when they came out) they were just into the idea of voting for a movie star whose movies they liked. “Isn’t it neat…

And I just recently learned that while Pamela Adlon fired her manager, Dave Becky, for his part in suppresing the stories of CK’s abuse. Others have kept him including Amy Poehler. (And Aziz Ansari and Kevin Hart but it’s not like this will disappoint any of their remaining fanbases.)

Small nitpick, it wasn’t an Emmy, she won a Golden Globe where frequently an award is about how well you can kiss the HFPA’s ass.

I grew up in Hawaii where there are plenty of mixed raced people of Asian ancestry. Some of us may not look a way that most people would see as Asian but there’s a “hapa” look that doesn’t mean “just cast any white person”.
