Because you already covered Idris Elba and Tom Hiddleston, I'll go ahead and take care of Richard Armitage for you as well. He has a little movie called The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug coming out shortly, he can sing too and did musical theatre for years, and as opposed to the douchey quotes of Adam Levine, he…

I hope so. Given the lack of investigation at the beginning, with the prosecutor's office initially declining to press charges pending further investigation had been done, I wasn't hopeful. Because I wasn't born yesterday, I'm still not.

George Zimmerman killed someone and went home that same night. There is no indication the police ever intended to run a toxicology report on Zimmerman, or they could have easily done so. http://www.hlntv.com/article/2012/0…

Just like they did one on Trayvon Martin, but not George Zimmerman. Kym Worthy has to be politic in her comments, but the parallels have been drawn for a reason.

This is greatness. I held his performance as Claudio in Branagh's otherwise superlative Much Ado About Nothing against him (he was insufferable) for so long, I just couldn't enjoy him until House. His ability to be self-deprecating and see himself with a sense of humor makes him even more likable.

Other people have already said it. While I admire the sentiment, this post sounds as if it were written by someone who never realized that the very use of the title Terminator 2 implies there was a Terminator first. And the Sarah Connor in the original film is nothing like what she evolved to be, and there turned…

Damn. You all are just too young for me. Because obvs...

I can't believe the only one who thinks this whole thing is some ridiculous attempt at a joke, or some incredibly dedicated performance art. Its just too obvious and OTT and predictably rote to be real. Femi-nazis? Who actually says that besides some Ditto-head who never made it out of 1997? "I support Alex Jones…

I was just about to say that this whole discussion is making me feel decrepit, because I distinctly remember my anguish at discovering he would do something so douchetastic. Of course, all I have to do is remember clips I've seen of him performing on Broadway in Jekyll and Hyde and Jesus Christ Superstar, trying…

That's Senor Babywipes to you, as the faux zoot suit would indicate. Get it right.

I am renowned for my excellent "Hee, hee!" It is something of which I am quite proud.

I think the distinction is meaningful, because practitioners of Hoodoo don't generally claim it as a religion but as folk magic, largely focused on the accumulation and directing of personal power to gain a sense of control and autonomy and to achieve desired outcomes. Cultivating, harnessing and directing power is…

Haitian Vodun and Louisiana Voodoo, while deeply interrelated, are not synonymous. This window display is a vulgar riff on Louisiana Voodoo, and merely its iconography and symbolism at that. Hoodoo has its roots in Vodun/Voodoo, but in other traditions as well. And New Orleans Voodoo is also syncretic, with…

It was when they were at Cambridge, in the Footlights. She introduced him to Stephen Fry! Kenneth Branagh used that school connection and the Footlights as inspiration for Peter's Friends.

You do realize the versions shown on Boomerang are seriously edited; at least they have been for the last 15 years or so. The revisions are often ridiculous: replacing Mammy Two Shoes (yes, that's what fans have named her) with a white woman but not changing her voice, having the voice re-done by an African American…

I like the cut of your jib, Nurse-O-Rama.

My friends and I thought we were so awesome back in the day, quoting Blackadder at each other when no one else knew what we were talking about. Hugh has been deep in the heart of me for many years.

Lots of athletes are "famous". But not many dominate their sport at an age when many of their peers have already or are seriously contemplating retirement. After taking time off from the sport to dabble in fashion, nail technology and acting. After facing a life-threatening injury from what first appeared to be a…

Celine who? Hugh Laurie is everything, all the time. I saw him and his band at Town Hall here in NYC last Friday, and they were AMAZING. I've loved him since A Bit of Fry and Laurie, and he hasn't lost a step in charm, quick wit or musical talent since that long interlude of playing Sherlock Holmes in a hospital.

I had no trouble reading the article either. The writer made a stylistic choice that perhaps isn't a good fit for Jezebel, which, as comment threads always make abundantly clear, has an overwhelmingly white, middle to upper middle class readership. Those who have actually read more than one or two authors of color…
