I have to say, I don’t believe she does this out of friendship. I think Diane Keaton is still actually really still in love with Woody Allen, which is precisely what she said in her memoir. She calls it friendship because I think anything stronger would be truly unpalatable for her fans, but I don’t think she’s ever…

I have been a secret consumer of Lambrusco for years and I will tell you why—SANGRIA. Get a bottle of that into the mix instead of standard red table wine and watch your friends bow down.

I hope that child has someone in her corner planning a civil suit to get a piece of that $7.5 million for a good therapist and a decent education before he throws it all away.

I don’t think punishing her is unethical at all. That’s literally what I said. It’s important that she be punished so that the term “assault” continues to have legal and social meaning. If you read the other comments here, a lot of people are applauding her, and I think that’s the reason why. “Standing up to assholes…

This is a perfect example of one of those situations where we as a people are reminded that laws are mainly there to protect property and money, not to uphold or even mirror morality or ethics. This woman should be a folk heroes throughout all the strip clubs in the land; she should be a cautionary tale for every dumb…

I have a pet theory that The Help is the nexus of the entire culture shift Hollywood is currently experiencing. That cast is like the Skull & Bones of excellent actresses who are trying to make a difference and as you follow the degrees of separation outward their influence is spreading.

I don’t think that’s accurate, unfortunately. She says in the article:

Yes, that’s my point exactly. Both of them bear responsibility for reading the others’ non-verbal signals. Since we clearly agree that that’s difficult in the moment and we can’t always trust that other people are reading us fully or accurately, it’s better to use your words. How nice to agree!

Here is where I’ll probably get flamed, but there were so many aspects of her story that sounded unrealistically entitled and just, frankly, willfully unaware. Grace describes going BACK to this man who had just gone down to her, and FULLY NAKED, “...sat down on the floor next to Ansari, who sat on the couch, she…

I have an authentic retro-pink tiled bathroom in my apartment and let me tell you, unless you have a lighting director in there with you or an unusually thoughtful landlord who sprung for an actual light fixture instead of an equally aged fluorescent bug-trap, everything just looks like flesh-toned death and you will…

Also, to add to everyone else who has helped contextualize this data, I will add that RBG is not just a white American woman, she is a white American *Ashkenazic Jewish* woman. My ladies live forever, and they stay sharp until the end. Not to mention, Ginsburg has about most mentally stimulating life imaginable; just…

I don’t know if your parents are terrible or not, post-grad, but assuming that they’re not—they KNOW your sister. They’ve known her her whole life. They’ve watched her make a series of decisions that have limited the scope of her life and her choices and given her every reason to think that your life is easier than…

I do an ottoman with a tray in my apartment and it works great, but I just forcibly insisted that my boyfriend buy a coffee table for his apartment, because his single tiny side table was serving as remote control storage, repository for multiple bodega drinks, dining table for 2, AND the cat’s favorite thing to jump…

I haven’t thought about this in literally 20 years, but my 7th grade science teacher was named Guido Garbarino, and THAT is the most Italian name on the planet. Also he was totally nice and even the most hysterically overwrought teenage girls never imagined he might be a contract killer in his spare time.

I haven’t heard anything about it before. But also, while I would LOVE to believe that someone at Gawker has cracked a business model that will allow them to succeed without ads or paywalls, I’m pretty sure we would have heard about it because that would have been the industry success story of the year. I suppose if…

What a useless, anachronistic piece of male posturing. I understand saying, maybe, don’t cry in front of your bullies because getting emotional (including hitting them!) encourages them. But why on earth can’t a kid cry to his mother? That’s literally what mothers are there to do—make you feel better when you’re sad.…

I don’t even have children, I’m just capable of forethought. Idiot.

That’s an excellent point. I could totally just drive to see my family in London...from New York. Not to mention that it’s super convenient to see our relatives in California and Arizona that way; it’s not like I have a job or anything that would prevent me from taking three days off on either end to drive places.…

Aww I love that Stacey married a guy who reads Jezebel!

It’s a toss-up between this, Drew Magary’s review of the Williams-Sonoma catalog, and the actual calendar as to how I know the holiday season has truly begun.
