Pajiba

Cleopatra was a bore-and-snore-fest to the max. It was awful. She has that shaky, adenoidal Jan Brady voice to begin with, but in this movie it takes on a new stridency. Ugh. I never thought Liz was ll that, except for a few shining moments (Virginia Wolf's "And Daddy said to Georgie..." drunken diatribe included). That this 2-bit skeevy has-been is playing an actress who was, for a very long time, a blowsy, shrieking, public-display-of-personal-issues drunk is PERFECT.

Isn't Common gay? Surely he is the most high-profile hip-hop/R&B artist to come out.

Am I the only one disappointed with the blurb on Frank Ocean? He didn't "come out of the closet" he revealed an evolving and open sexuality. Between him and Cynthia Nixon there's a new conversation about sexuality and our expectations wrt sexuality. It's pajiba love so I wasn't expecting a think piece but I saw better summaries on just about every other site.

Umm, why the hate for Lohan and the Liz movie? I think she's doing a damn good impersonation looks wise.

Please to be explaining the hate, 'cause I just don't get it. And no, you can't drag her past into this, that's a lame ass crutch only used by losers and hipster shitheaps.

True story: when I was 13 at a sleepover, and QVC was just hitting its stride, I called in to prank order jewelry using a Texan accent and your handle as my name. (the operator somehow caught on. I can still hear her saying, "Oh, grow up")

Should I feel proud?

Should I feel repulsed?

Should I feel proudly repulsed?

Is Liz and Dick actually a comedy, because every time I see LiLo dressed as LaLiz I get the giggling snorts.

The filmmakers of the Hendrix film could cover his first hit "Hey Joe", since he didn't write that one. And they could do "All Along the Watchtower", and "The Star-Spangled Banner".

I know that when you really like a show the period between seasons feels like a lifetime, but honestly it's been FOREVER since season 1 of Homeland ended. And it's not coming back until the end of September?? What kind of fu*&%ry is this?

This needs to be on The Love tomorrow

"OREOS FOR EVERYONE."

*backs away from the thread uncomfortably, awaits the Pookie reaction*

Sorry, Geico Opossum. You've been replaced by a litter of panda babies.

e) I love that there are awards as specific as "Library Interior Design" (everyone loves an award!)
f) I watched the NY fireworks from a friend's rooftop in south Chelsea. Obstructed views, but still a good time. That said, the 30 minutes of heat lightning that followed the fireworks was even more amazing.
g) While the history of philosophy graph made my brain hurt a little, I did learn about some wonderful resources on the web in his description of how he created it.
h) The Norah Jones song is a great addition to the pantheon of best friend songs like "You're the Top," "Friendship" and "You Gotta a Friend in Me". Also - does she not look Weisz-like in that pic?

That Brave poster just made my life.

Panda pileup! I almost never watch the video of the day, but that was so worth it.

a) * Yes, you did it right.
b) Pandas have some fucked up tails.
c) The costume department on that Liz/Burton pic must seriously, seriously hate LiLo. Because that was a time of awesome bras, and she has giant boobs, and they are making them look terrible, terrible, terrible. (also, the wig and eye makeup suck. You can't do a budget pic about La Liz. It's just not right.)
d) I think Courtney and TK should review it TOGETHER, like the Fug Girls.

That poor girl's face is so puffy.

It's like you're in my brain re: Lilo s Liz -- it's all cheap wigs and boobs everywhere (not in a good way) and she looks like the trashy Halloween store version of Liz Lifetime would have done better just to drag around Liz's wax figure from Madame Tussaud's and call it a day.

I don't think that image is spoilery. I haven't seen the movie yet, and it doesn't ruin anything for me. The only implication from it is something I'm pretty sure I figured out ages ago.

Also, those pandas just made me giggle like a child in the middle of my office. Thankfully, the construction noises cover that, so I could enjoy it and let my horrible day be less horrible through the use of adorable pandas.

Listening to Norah Jones makes me feel like Bridget Jones, until I remember that scene in Love, Actually and Rodrigo Santoro and Laura Linney. And then I feel funny, like when I used to climb the ropes in gym class, or how Bridget Jones might feel if she were to read 50 Shades of Grey on the tube.

So I guess what I'm saying is, yes, I am a Pinot Grigio and Kleenex kind of girl.

Sure...look at them laughing and carrying on. She laughs, but hey lady, I have news. There are fucking BEARS chasing you. The cutest slaughter in the world in 3, 2...
But hey...you can't have a slaughter without laughter.

Somehow Lohan looks like Roseanne Barr in that photo.

I was thinking the same thing.
Then it reminded me of the Stay Puft Marshmallow from Ghostbusters.

And then I realized I was looking at a panda.

Somebody fix the pandas' swing, please.

I am so having a Liz and Dick viewing party in which I will get utterly wasted and probably end up screaming at the television and throwing my copy of "Furious Love" at it. Then I'll screw a married man and get condemned by the pope. THAT is how you do an Elizabeth Taylor tribute.

Best viewing party EVER!

What happened to that awesome Scientology article?

Speaking of Scientology, I have been very ceremoniously blocked from Danny Masterson's twitter page for ragging on one of his CCHR anti-psychiatry rants ( for the 2nd time).
How proud am I?
He said Dr. Drew was a scumbag for promoting Welbutrin and taking money from Glaxo
I said that he was paid by Co$ to promote their anti-psychiatry agenda, and probably blackmailed too.
He said I had a minus zero IQ, I was a conservative sheep bigot, and I was a little baby who follows the leader.
Conservative? Bigot? Did I say he was a black, gay, illegal alien, scum sucking liberal trying to free criminals from prison and taxing his hard earned dollars? I'm thinking that those with minus zero IQ's who follow the leader are the folks that join cults disguised as churches.
It's not that I'm particularly pro-psychiatry, and I don't question his right to believe in Xenu, but I resent his continuous rages about anti-depressants since they actually saved my life. Every time he flaps his jaws about how these meds should be illegal, I feel he belittles my existence.
I still love Hyde though and I feel that he would take my side.

What article do you mean?

It's up now. The Cruise and Xenu one.

They're so fuzzy I'm going to die!

They're so FLUFFYYYYYY!!!!!

Yeah, I blew that one. I also forgot that there's an edit button until just now. Now if you'll excuse me, I think I hear some kids on my lawn.

Only 1 'finally' today? I feel cheated. no second breakfast?

Elevensies only.

OMG, Pandas! The very last frame is sooooo disgustingly cute.

Is that a wooden slide? Someone's gonna get an OWie.

i know i just was oozing with adorabilitiy
