Wilmer Valderrama Did Not Escape the Danny Masterson Mess

To Wilmer Valderrama’s credit, he did not write a letter requesting leniency for Danny Masterson. However, that’s a pretty freaking low bar, so I feel zero sympathy that Fez just got tossed under the microscope thanks to Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis. In particular, Valderrama’s infamous interview with Howard Stern where he brags about his sexual conquests, which included a teenaged Lindsay Lohan. At this rate, it’s probably going to be a rough week for almost everyone on That ’70s Show who isn’t Topher Grace or Laura Prepon. Although, Prepon dated a Masterson spawn while she was knee-deep in Scientology, so God knows what time bomb is waiting there. (Rolling Stone)

When ardaigle saw the cover of Bonnie Garmus’ Lessons in Chemistry, she was expecting a fun romp, but things took a dark turn (see her review for how dark it got). “But I stuck with it and found that Garmus created an amazing protagonist, a bit of a 1960s manic pixie dream chemist, that rocked my socks and I believe may rock yours.” What book have you had to adjust your expectations for?
