The screenplay, written by Dan Wiedenhaupt, is based on the true story of the Whittington brothers, three renowned racecar drivers, two of whom were implicated in the 1980s IMSA scandal in which several drivers funded their racing careers through drug smuggling, money laundering, and tax evasion.

Just saw this in the theatre. All 3.5 hours of it (with intermission!)

Starts out interestingly enough (with a scene of a whore jerking off Adrian Brody’s erect cock…). There are also so many homoerotic moments throughout.

But then gets ponderous and self-important. The climax just comes across as stupid.

The acting is great. I can totally see this getting nominated for all sorts of awards but audiences will think What the Fuck was the point?

I wrote this piece awhile back about his passing and while most of his movies were junk, my favorite Elvis Presley movie is 1957's "Loving You." Elvis was 22 and this was a take-off on his rise to fame, when he was still rockabilly, with Lizabeth Scott, Wendell Corey, and Dolores Hart. Presley looks and dresses great, filled with energy. And the title song is one of my faves! My look here:

This is the golden thread that never ends.

I was recently banned from a FB group for my suburban town. It was nice to get info about weather, new restaurants opening up, street repairs, etc. But now I have to go elsewhere for all that.

I tried to submit a post asking other members if they had an Obamacare policy and did it seem worthwhile for them. This post got banned and the moderator said, "well, if you had referred to it as the Affordable Care Act, I would have approved it".

Then more recently she posted something about paying deductibles, and I responded with "I thought we weren't supposed to post anything political". She said "oh it's just a meme and it's meant in fun". Now she has banned me from the group. When I search for groups with the same name, the search results don't even list this group.

I've really had it with FB and am thinking of leaving it.

Chase Chrisley: Alleged Suspect In Bar Assault

According to a police report, obtained by TMZ, officers responded to a 911 call at Twin Peaks Sports Bar around 7:30 PM on Monday. When officers arrived, Chrisley had already left but the alleged victim, the bar’s general manager, claims he was assaulted by the reality TV star during a heated encounter inside the restaurant.

The manager told cops Chrisley became "really drunk" and began acting "disrespectful and belligerent" while inside. The manager claims he asked CC multiple times to leave the property, but Chrisley allegedly refused and his behavior escalated. Minutes later, Chrisley allegedly slapped the manager in the face twice.

The manager told police he had no injuries and refused medical attention, however, he did file a police report which names Chrisley as the suspect for "simple assault." In fact, the report states the manager told cops, "one of his employees told him that Mr. Crisley is a well known celebrity."

The incident marks the latest controversy for the Chrisley family. Chase's parents, Todd and Julie, are currently serving time in federal prison for tax evasion and fraud convictions.

We've reached out to Chase's rep for comment ... so far, no word back.

Cheesecake, lava cake, ice cream, something fruity, maybe tiramisu. It’s the same predictable lineup everywhere you go. Where’s the ingenuity? Where’s the creativity? Dessert is the final act of a meal, the last impression the customer takes with them. It’s the culinary equivalent of the closing argument, and yet it feels like most restaurants don’t care to make it memorable. Why not embrace seasonality and innovation?

I refuse to spend $12 on what is essentially a Costco brownie mix brownie with a scoop of vanilla slapped on top.

For me, it really boils down to two - Barbara Stanwyck and Lauren Bacall.

Stanwyck had the terrifying brass, Bacall had (briefly) the iceberg beauty.

Both aged well.

I would argue Stanwyck never had the chance Bacall got with Murder on the Orient Express.

Lol I knew this would happen. No I don't have link. I saw it on the news. Congestion pricing is a whole hot mess, and cameras aren't even locations that practically make sense. The pricing should apply to any entry in Manhattan, plain and simple. And low income people should get waivers if they live in Manhattan, though they likely don't even have cars.

Courtney Ford is cutting the cord on her marriage ... filing for divorce from her actor husband famous for playing Clark Kent.

The "Dexter" star beelined it to court Wednesday and filed to divorce "Superman Returns" star Brandon Routh after over 17 years of marriage.

In the docs, obtained by TMZ, Courtney is going with the boilerplate "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for the split ... and she does not give a date of separation.

Courtney and Brandon have one minor child together, 12-year-old son Leo ... and she's seeking joint legal and physical custody.

Courtney's seeking spousal support and she checked the box to terminate the court's ability to award Brandon spousal support.

The estranged Hollywood couple got hitched way back in 2007 at El Capitan Ranch in Santa Barbara ... they dated for three years before he popped the question in 2006, so they were together for well over 2 decades.

Former Florida congressman Matt Gaetz debuted his eponymous show Thursday night on One America News Network—but much of the attention wasn’t on what the MAGA figure had to say.

Instead, many viewers reacted by asking some variation of, “What happened to his face?”

Some placed blame on the network.

“Y’all need to fire your makeup artist immediately,” wrote Turning Point USA’s Savanah Hernandez.

“Fire that makeup artist!” another X user echoed. “They can do better or are they purposefully making you look like a villain? The lighting and makeup make such a huge impact, this isn’t the best that can be done.”

Nick Fuentes, a far-right white supremacist podcast host who was charged with battery last month, commented simply, “Yeesh.”

Others mentioned how Botox may have factored in. Gaetz hasn’t said whether he has ever used it.

At the Republican National Convention last July, the then-congressman’s appearance spurred similar reactions, and experts on the cosmetic surgery were asked to weigh in.

Board-certified dermatologist Corey Hartman told Esquire then that Gaetz’s look was due in part to an “overly heavy hand and poor placement” of neuromodulators.

“It’s too heavy in the forehead and not lateral enough to prevent Spock Eye,” Hartman told the outlet.

“Plus,” he added, “the glabellar injections [the vertical lines between the eyebrows] use an older technique that pushes the brow down and makes him look more menacing than usual.”

All the speculation over Gaetz’ appearance aside, a bit of political news did manage to be made during Gaetz’s show, which largely focused on a crucial congressional vote Friday that will determine whether House Speaker Mike Johnson will get to keep the gavel.

Kentucky Rep. Thomas Massie told Gaetz that he would not cast his ballot for Johnson, even if his colleagues physically tortured him.

“You can pull all my fingernails out,” Massie said. “You can shove bamboo up in them. You can start cutting off my fingers. I am not voting Mike Johnson tomorrow. And you can take that to the bank.”

Massie added that there could be up to five others who might buck President-elect Donald Trump, who endorsed Johnson for the position last month.

Indiana Rep. Victoria Spartz also told Gaetz Thursday that she was undecided.

Johnson can only afford to lose one vote in the closely divided House.

Colorado Rep. Lauren Boebert joined Gaetz to make her case for Texas Rep. Chip Roy to chair the House Rules Committee, saying if Johnson agrees to appoint him to that post, that would secure enough votes for his reelection.

The move would almost certainly spur a rebellion in the opposite direction from more moderate members of the House Republican caucus.

Therefore I shall now go into the kitchen and drink a large glass of water. Water has always been my favorite beverage to quench my thirst even when I was 8 or 9 years old. I am grateful now that my mother never brought soda into the house. She would serve it only on rare occasions when company was over. Many adults are quite addicted to soda.

Who would have thought his guy would ever be president.

There I said it. I have had a great deal of sex in my life. But I have been barely moved to have a feeling about it outside of the fact that good lover or not I am bored. I can stay hard but it’s all an act. I don’t like blow jobs, hate fucking- it’s like riding a bull. I like all romantic parts: hard holding, kissing forever, cuddling. That stuff turns me on. And the strange thing is I can watch porn and enjoy it, but usually I am only turned on by the beginning of it. I wish I could point to some example in my past that might explain it. But I had a very comfortable upper-middle class life. Good family. And all the post-war bullshit I could take. But even as a child I wasn’t turned on by sexual things on television or in the movies.

Peter Yarrow died today, and even as a child i found "Puff the Magic Dragon" really depressing despite how twee it is.

What are other songs that just depress you? "Eleanor Rigby," of course.

Does anyone else love Stephen Sondheim's Company as much as I do? Through honest and witty songs, Sondheim captures the struggles of marriage, singleness, living in New York City, and facing inner demons perfectly.

I thought it would be fun to have a little introspective, after all, Company turns 55 this year!

I've heard talks of her running for governor of California. That would be nice. I actually would love to see her in an NBC sitcom playing a parody of herself. I think she would be hilarious and the camera loves her. Hell she actually could do both in today's age. I don't want her to disappear from public life.

Man Dies After Using Industrial Adhesive as Contraceptive

From the NY Post: A sleeping subway rider burned to death on an F train in Coney Island Sunday morning after a madman threw a lit match onto her causing her to burst into flames police sources said.

NYPD officers responded to reports of a fire just before 7:30 a.m. at the Coney Island-Stillwell Avenue subway station and found the woman engulfed in fire while sitting on an idling F train, police told The Post.

She was found with liquor bottles surrounding her, though it was not immediately clear if they played any part in the fire, sources said.

Investigators believe that the woman was sleeping when a man sitting across from her got up, walked by her and threw a match on her, engulfing her in fire, sources said.

But Venables, damn, he just keeps reoffending and reoffending. Both given new identities, but many have showed pics of them. I cant find any.

I can think of about 10,000 people more annoying and less talented than Lauren Bacall.

But any post or thread here that mentions her always draws at least a dozen posters who must have been set on fire by her at some point in their lives.

She was a glamorous actress with a limited range who shined in half a dozen great movies and looked fabulous while doing so.

She was evidently an unpleasant person in real life. That's not great, but neither was Bette Davis or Joan Crawford or (put Golden Age actor/actress here)

Politically she was on the side of the angels (and evidently suffered for it career-wise).

What gives?

For years, Anderson has been boxed into the blonde bombshell archetype after getting her start as a Playboy Playmate and then appearing in the TV series, “Baywatch.” Her marriage to Motley Crue drummer Tommy Lee made headlines when a sex tape leaked.

Anderson took a brief break from the spotlight to focus on raising her two sons, but she soon returned, starring as Roxie Hart in “Chicago” on Broadway. And last year, she took control of her narrative by publishing her memoir “Love, Pamela” and appeared in the Netflix documentary “Pamela, a Love Story,” which Brandon Lee produced.

Lee’s pride is felt over the computer screen. His emotions are high as he recalls how Anderson always told him that “she was going to have to always going to have to prove herself to people, and we would always have to do that.”

But the tide is turning. Has Anderson finally proved herself and her acting abilities? With the critical acclaim for her performance as Shelly, Lee has seen a shift not just from audiences and fans, but also from Hollywood and what roles she’s getting offered. But it didn’t happen overnight, and it took “The Last Showgirl” to get there. Lee says, “When you really think about it and where we’ve come from over the last decade, it’s remarkable.” He goes on to say, “What Pamela is doing and the opportunities she’s getting right now are just fantastic. It lets you know you’re doing the right things.”

Below, Lee talks about why he has made it his personal mission to help shift the narrative toward Anderson, whom he calls “Pamela” during the conversation, and how Hollywood has responded to her.

[bold]There’s a story of the script being turned down by Pamela’s former agent before even showing it to her, and you happened to come across it. Can you talk about meeting with Gia and that gut instinct that this was right for Pamela?[/bold]

When I first laid eyes on it, I wasn’t really used to looking at projects like that for Pamela. It was such a breath of fresh air, and it was so impactful, and it was something I knew she could deliver on. And it was so timely, and it just seemed like the stars were aligning a bit on it and how it was playing into this arc of where she was in her career. I knew there were so many real-life inspirations she could take into this.

So, I met with Gia and producer Robert Schwartzman and was figuring out if they were going to be the people we trusted with this — her comeback performance.

It is very much a family business with them as well, and everything’s kind of entangled like that, and that’s kind of how we operate. I knew we could trust them, and I think it was about just putting the right pieces in place. Once the cast started to come together for that, and who was going to be helping Pamela carry this film, it just became such a no-brainer and such a fantastic opportunity. And I knew from day one it was going to be a special product.

[bold]What about getting the script to Pamela, what was her reaction when you gave her this story?[/bold]

My mom’s so funny. She will tell you it’s the first time she’s ever read a real script. I think that’s probably mostly true.

The conversation was very quick. She read it and said, “I want to do it.” There was no deliberation around it. She was instantly enamored with Shelly, and it spoke to her.

This film was made for just over a million bucks in 18 days. So the fact that it has the impact that it has is incredible. It just shows that everyone involved with the project had to come together. It’s incredible what can happen when people can put ego and stardom to the side and really make it an art project and come together for the sake of filmmaking, great writing, great directing and great cinematography.

When I was 15 yrs old….

A boy followed me into the restroom one morning. I thought nothing of it. He cornered me and then he pulled out a knife and stuck it at my chest. He said.” I want that jacket and I want it now. I said, get that fucking knife away from me before I turn it around and put it in your eyeball. He was stunned. He said who the fuck are you? Said who the fuck are you right back at him. Then I shoved him back. Hard. He flew about 6 feet and landed on his ass with the knife still in his hand. He got up, called me a fucking bitch and ran out of the bathroom. I just stood there in the mirror, wondering what was happening looking back I don’t blame him. He was desperate and he just wanted my coat. And mine was the coolest jacket in the school.

Would you post a picture of it here?

Glad to see openly gay actors getting some love

Justin Baldoni is accusing Blake Lively of a concerted effort to remove him from the filmmaking process for their 2024 drama It Ends With Us.

In addition to alleging that Lively tried to pry creative direction from him, Baldoni, who also directed the film, claims that Lively, 37, tried to ban him from the film’s premiere.

Baldoni’s accusation came in a lawsuit he filed on Tuesday, December 31, against The New York Times. He is seeking $250 million in damages for four complaints, including libel and false light invasion of privacy.

The lawsuit, obtained by Us Weekly, alleges that Lively “systematically sidelined [him] from the marketing of his own Film.”

“Further undermining Baldoni’s role, Lively initially refused to permit his attendance at the Film’s premiere,” the lawsuit states. “Only after significant pressure did she reluctantly agree to allow Baldoni and the Wayfarer team to attend, but under humiliating conditions. The Wayfarer team and their families, including Baldoni and [producer Jamey] Heath, were segregated from the main cast, barred from the exclusive after-party, and forced to organize their own event at additional cost.”

The suit further describes Lively’s alleged effort to ostracize Baldoni and his family at the film’s premiere.

“Baldoni’s participation on the red carpet was cut short, and his family and friends were confined to a makeshift holding area in the basement before being escorted into a separate theater after Lively’s departure,” the suit continues. “Not only had Lively stolen the Film, but she also robbed Baldoni and his team of any genuine opportunity to celebrate their hard work.”

Baldoni, 40, further accuses Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, of using bullying tactics to “exile” him from his own film. In addition to her alleged effort to ban Baldoni from the premiere, the suit says that Reynolds, 48, tried to wield his influence to convince Baldoni’s agent to drop him as a client.

“Baldoni and Wayfarer Studios grew increasingly fearful of what Lively and Reynolds were capable of, as their actions seemed aimed at destroying Baldoni’s career and personal life,” the suit says.

The nominations announcement for the upcoming Oscars will be postponed from 17 January to 19 January, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has said.

The voting period, which opened on 8 January, will also be extended by two more days to close on 14 January.

"We want to offer our deepest condolences to those who have been impacted by the devastating fires across southern California," the academy told its members in the letter.

"So many of our members and industry colleagues live and work in the Los Angeles area, and we are thinking of you."

Anyone else excited for this? Could get Demi Moore her first Oscar nomination. She seems really grounded and normal in this interview with the guardian. I’m rooting for her!

My heart bleeds for him, is there anything worse in the whole world than an actor caught in a dry spell? Remember all those WHET threads on DL over the years? Well now he's back, for better or worse.

He does look good, though. Subtly refreshed.

Justin Baldoni’s lawyer says that the actor’s impending lawsuit against Blake Lively will not only bring forth the “truth” — but also expose “those who believe themselves untouchable.”

"This is not a response or countersuit — it’s a deliberate pursuit of truth,” attorney Bryan Freedman exclusively tells PEOPLE of Baldoni's forthcoming lawsuit, which follows Lively’s explosive complaint accusing Baldoni, 40, of sexual harassment on the set of It Ends with Us and a subsequent retaliatory smear campaign.

Freedman, a veteran Hollywood lawyer, also says that Baldoni’s filing will “expose” falsities in Lively’s complaint — specifically a series of private text messages that allegedly show Baldoni texting and emailing with PR executive Jennifer Abel and crisis management expert Melissa Nathan as they planned what Lively, 37, alleges was a smear campaign orchestrated to "destroy" her reputation.

“This lawsuit will uncover and expose the false and destructive narrative that was intentionally engineered by a trusted media publication who relied upon nefarious sources and neglected a thorough fact checking process to confirm the validity of these texts,” Freedman tells PEOPLE.

“There is an insurmountable collection of authentic evidence, including timelines and communications, which have not been doctored or spliced without context, unlike the altered [New York Times] story that ran on Saturday, December 21st 2024,” he continues in the written statement.

The article Freedman is referring to — titled “ ‘We Can Bury Anyone’: Inside a Hollywood Smear Machine” — broke the news of Lively’s complaint the day after she filed it in California.

“In over three decades of legal practice, I’ve never witnessed such unethical behavior, fueled by those who abuse their power and manipulate the truth,” Freedman adds. “This isn’t an isolated case; it’s a recurring pattern in Hollywood and the mainstream media where careers and reputations are destroyed to maintain control.”

“Legacy media has long weaponized their platforms to distort the truth, exploit vulnerabilities, and destroy lives without accountability,” the attorney continues. “These lawsuits will confront this system head-on, ensuring that no individual or entity, no matter how influential, can continue perpetuating this cycle of fear and destruction."

"The truth will not only come to light — it will dismantle the illusions propped up by those who believe themselves untouchable,” Freedman concludes.

A representative for Lively did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment on Sunday, Dec. 29.

The attorney's latest statement comes shortly after the Daily Mail's Dec. 27 report that as soon as the courts reopen in the new year, Baldoni plans to file a countersuit against Lively. Freedman told the British outlet that the forthcoming filling will “shock everyone.”

The Daily Mail also reported that Baldoni’s impending filing will contain specific claims about Lively’s PR team, led by her publicist Leslie Sloane, including the allegation that Sloane planted stories to paint the actor-director in a bad light and led a smear campaign against him — not the other way around, as Lively’s complaint alleges.

Whenever could they have discussed?

Washington Post editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit after a satirical cartoon, which poked fun at the paper’s owner Jeff Bezos and other media and tech giants bending the knee to President-elect Donald Trump, was killed.

The Pulitzer Prize winner shared her decision in a Substack post Friday.

“I have had editorial feedback and productive conversations—and some differences—about cartoons I have submitted for publication, but in all that time I’ve never had a cartoon killed because of who or what I chose to aim my pen at. Until now,” she said.

Telnaes had worked at the Washington Post since 2008. She described the political cartoon that did not get published, saying it “criticizes the billionaire tech and media chief executives who have been doing their best to curry favor with incoming President-elect Trump.”

The Washington Post did not immediately respond to TheWrap’s request for comment.

The cartoon included Facebook and Meta founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, Los Angeles Times publisher Patrick Soon-Shiong, the “Walt Disney Company/ABC News” depicted as Mickey Mouse and Washington Post owner Bezos. A rough draft of the scrapped cartoon can be seen below.

Telnaes criticized Bezos for his handling of the Washington Post in the months leading up to Trump’s election and those to follow. The paper did not endorse a presidential candidate in 2024 for the first time in decades, leading to three editorial board member resignations and widespread canceled subscriptions.

“Owners of such press organizations are responsible for safeguarding that free press— and trying to get in the good graces of an autocrat-in-waiting will only result in undermining that free press,” the cartoonist said of her former boss.

“As an editorial cartoonist, my job is to hold powerful people and institutions accountable. For the first time, my editor prevented me from doing that critical job. So I have decided to leave the Post,” she said. “I doubt my decision will cause much of a stir and that it will be dismissed because I’m just a cartoonist. But I will not stop holding truth to power through my cartooning, because as they say, ‘Democracy dies in darkness.’”

Fuck joy.

To be fair, I never saw the stage production and never had a desire to. A friend of mine is a huge fan of the play, so I let him talk me into seeing the movie.

It was all very odd. Ariana Grande seemed to be playing a fantasyland version of Elle Woods, complete with the pink wardrobe, and was a very unappealing character for about the first half of the movie. Was Glinda (pardon me - Galinda) supposed to be a narcissistic pain in the ass?

The movie seemed not to not have much of a focus until about the last 30 minutes, and just as the plot started to get going, the movie was over. I'm surprised "Wicked" is such an acclaimed musical, because I didn't find any of the musical numbers memorable, except maybe for "Dancing Through Life," and that was mainly because I was enjoying watching Jonathan Bailey thrusting his hips in his tight purple pants the whole time. Other than that, there wasn't a single hummable tune in the film, and I found myself dozing off during a couple of the slow songs.

Cynthia Erivo was fine in it, and she managed to elicit some sympathy for her character, but I wouldn't say she or Ariana deserve any award nominations. But since they both got Golden Globe nominations, I'm mystified as to why Ariana was nominated in the Best Supporting Actress category when she has just as much screen time as Cynthia, who got a Best Actress nod.

Then there's Bowen Yang, who simply brings his lame SNL queen schtick to the big screen. A useless character that does nothing to propel the story along. Whose dick did he suck to get that part?

Overall, I left the theater feeling very "meh" about the whole thing. But of course, now I'm going to have to see Part 2 to find out what happens after Cynthia Erivo goes flying away on her broom.

What did other DLers think of "Wicked?"

From the 1920s to today?? Maybe you've seen some of these forgotten shows. I'm old enough to remember some of 'em.

I'm thinking they should give her a special tony award.

The woman gave a multitude of iconic performances in the theater and hasn't never been fully appreciated. She is one of the greats, and it's nice to have seen just how much respect and esteem the Broadway community had for her.

Mexicans responded to the idea that it represented their country with ridicule. One account quipped that Gascón must be “the first winner of a Golden Globe to have blocked half of Mexico.”

Activists have also questioned the film’s trans representation, noting its use of trans identity as an “inherently redemptive” tool for its criminal protagonist.

Glaad, an LGBTQ+ advocacy organisation, described the film as a “profoundly retrograde portrayal of a trans woman” and a “step backward for trans representation”.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is preparing to announce his resignation as Liberal Party Leader as soon as Monday, according to a new report in The Globe and Mail.

Following a steep downfall in public opinion polls and an unhappy caucus calling on him to quit, three sources told the Canadian newspaper that while they don’t know exactly when Trudeau would announce his resignation, it is likely to happen before a key national caucus meeting on Wednesday.

The newspaper added that it would not be identifying the sources as they “were not authorized to discuss internal party matters.”

One of the sources, who claimed to have spoken recently to Trudeau, said that the prime minister acknowledges that he has to make the announcement before he meets the Liberal caucus so that it doesn’t look like he was edged out by his own party members.

Pandemic movie, in case you wanted to relieve that shit. Based on the 2012 novel by Peter Heller.

[quote]Set in a near future where an unnamed pandemic has decimated American society, The Dog Stars will have Elordi playing Hig, a civilian pilot living a lonely life on an abandoned Colorado airbase with his dog and a tough ex-marine. The two men couldn’t be more mismatched but depend on each other to fend off roaming invaders. When a random transmission beams through the radio of his 1956 Cessna, the voice ignites a hope deep inside the pilot that a better life exists outside their tightly controlled perimeter. Risking everything, he flies past his point of no return and follows its static-broken trail.

A tragic discovery was made on a flight from Chicago to Maui on Christmas Eve.

A spokesperson for United Airlines confirmed to Fox News Digital that upon arrival at Kahului Airport in Maui on Tuesday, a body was found in the wheel well of one of the main landing gears on a United aircraft.

Flight 202 departed O’Hare Airport at 9:30 a.m. on Dec 24 and landed at Maui’s Kahului Airport at 2:12 p.m. local time, according to United Airlines' website.

The airline spokesperson said that the wheel well was only accessible from outside the aircraft.

"At this time, it is not clear how or when the person accessed the wheel well," the spokesperson said.

United said it's working with investigators to figure out how the person ended up in the wheel well.

The person that was found dead has not yet been identified.

Was it realistic that Elio’s intellectual parents were so accepting of his homosexuality and just generally how they behaved in the film. At certain times they almost played matchmaker lol. Timothy’s tears at the end deserved an Oscar. I’ve been there before.

Bette Davis Eyes was a huge smash. Why didn't she catch on?

The car is firmly entrenched as the default, and often only, mode of transport for the vast majority of Americans, with more than nine in 10 households having at least one vehicle and 87% of people using their cars daily. Last year, a record 290m vehicles were operated on US streets and highways.

However, this extreme car dependence is affecting Americans’ quality of life, with a new study finding there is a tipping point at which more driving leads to deeper unhappiness. It found that while having a car is better than not for overall life satisfaction, having to drive for more than 50% of the time for out-of-home activities is linked to a decrease in life satisfaction.

A place where we ponder everything about The Young & the Restless (Y&R) and wonder why we're still watching America's No. 1 daytime soap opera!

So which reason is it? - Hoping to see Conner Floyd in his underwear? - Imagining JaBottom's unseen Grindr hookups? - Praying for gay Fen to show up for the holidays?

Or maybe you tune in for the Sharon Case Daily Face Update? - Or just enjoy hate-watching The Stafford and her tiresome shtick? - Or simply love seeing the always-perturbed Aunt Jack just being Aunt Jack?

And of course, everyone is surely tuning-in for the greatly-anticipated Traci & Alan sex scene, as well as hoping to see seventy-somethings Aunt Jordan & Ian Ward fuck like rabbits as well. And let's not forget the always-lovable Messa!

[quote]Armie Hammer says his career is picking up after three years in industry exile following sexual assault allegations.

[quote]The worm is turning, it takes time,” he told Christina Pazsitzy and Tom Segura on the most recent episode of their podcast “Your Mom’s House.” “It’s slow, but generally now the conversation when my name comes up with people in the industry is, ‘Man, that guy got fucked.’ And that feels really good. It’s really encouraging.” In fact, so busy is Hammer he’s “turning jobs down,” he said. “My dance card’s getting pretty full. That first job that I turned down after four years of this shit, I mean, it was the best feeling I’ve ever had.”

Anyone else here who can't wrap their heads around the fact that people get cut in half, decapitated, limbs torn off in plane crashes?

I know it's true because I've seen pictures and read autopsy reports, but it seems so surreal to me that a person could be alive one second, and cut in half the next. It's so unnatural. I'm not in denial or afraid of death, like if somebody dies falling off a ladder or of a brain bleed, I don't think twice about it. But when somebody has been damaged beyond recognition I just can't accept it as reality. I'm repulsed by the concept of dismemberment, especially bisection.

For example, I've been listening to Polish singer Anna Jantar a lot recently. She died over 40 years ago in a plane crash. According to reports, most of the people on board were cut in half by their seatbelts, and it took 8 days to find her body, so she must have been in bad condition. There's also a rumor her head was ripped off and her husband could only identify her by the rings on her fingers. Anyway, she was so pretty and charming when she sang, it's hard for me to watch her videos without thinking, "this girl got cut in half," it's just.......it doesn't sink in that this beautiful singing, smiling, dancing young woman was sliced in half. You know what I mean?

Media entrepreneur/ legal analyst/ TV host Dan Abrams recently announced he will end his NewsNation show Dan Abrams Live in early February. He says the amount of time he spends on the nightly cable-TV show is not practical with continuing and growing his other media businesses. This includes being chief legal analyst for ABC News, hosting a daily SiriusXM show, producing and hosting On Patrol Live on REELZ channel on the weekends. He also owns and runs such media companies as Mediaite, Law & Crime Network and Bottle Raiders. Dan says he will remain with NewsNation only in a different role. He will make more announcements on this on his show in early February.

I just read this essay on a flight and enjoyed it:

[quote]The extent to which the art world has taken up these concerns raises another question: When the world’s most influential, best-funded exhibitions are dedicated to amplifying marginalized voices, are those voices still marginalized? They speak for the cultural mainstream, backed by institutional authority. The project of centering the previously excluded has been completed; it no longer needs to be museums’ main priority and has by now been hollowed out into a trope. These voices have lost their own unique qualities. In a world with Foreigners Everywhere, differences have flattened and all forms of oppression have blended into one universal grief. We are bombarded with identities until they become meaningless. When everyone’s tossed together into the big salad of marginalization, otherness is made banal and abstract.

Then Coleman Domingo & Cynthia Erivo will be awarded best actor and actress in 2025. What better ‘fuck you’ to MAGA and call for inclusiveness than to award two black queer actors (and only the second black actress to win, a dark skinned black actress at that)?

Also, when Arianna inevitably (and deservedly) wins for best supporting actress it won’t be a good look for Cynthia to lose as it falls into the ‘having to work twice as hard for half as much’ camp that black women face.

If the Academy want to remain relevant in setting the tone then this should absolutely happen.

He fucked everything up by waiting three years to appoint a special counsel to investigate Trump's crimes.

The least he can do before he exits office in shame is to release Smith's report and let the American public see for themselves just how criminally corrupt and detestable the douche bag who's about to squat in the White House again really is.

I live close to my third cousin, who is gay and in an open relationship. I was cruising Grindr this morning and he was on it. We know each other pretty well. I know his dad very well, he is my dad’s best friend and first cousin.

I’ve known my third cousin our whole life, however he hasn’t been at family parties and we only see each other once a year at best.

I messaged him on Grindr, said “what’s up Cuz!” As a joke.

He asked if I was a top or bottom and what I was doing tonight. When I said I was a top he liked it and said “hot” and told me he was vers. He’s going to his dads cottage for the weekend but said he wanted to grab a drink soon.

He’s attractive , I’ve never thought of doing anything with him. But now I’m curious.

And like Persephone, we descend into Hades as winter approaches.

He looked so fucking handsome last night, I loved his interviews where he was so classy and grateful, and loved that he was able to bring the whole family and his man with him. His family is so attractive! Both his brothers, his mom and his dad are all hot.

He was robbed. He should have won for episode 5 alone but I knew Farrell was gonna win. I wanted him to win as a huge fuck you to Nick who has been awful to Cooper lately and thinks he’s above everyone. He was coked out of his mind the entire night. It’s insane

Sutton Foster has filed for divorce from her husband, screenwriter Ted Griffin, after nearly 10 years of marriage.

The “Younger” actress, 49, filed for uncontested divorce in New York County Supreme Court on Tuesday, according to court documents obtained by The Post.

The split comes as Page Six reported Foster is moving on with “X-Men” star Hugh Jackman, who she met when they starred together in “The Music Man” on Broadway from 2021 to 2023.

“They are 100 percent together and are in love and want to spend the rest of their lives together,” a source told the outlet.

Foster and Griffin, 53, were married in October 2014.

Foster shares an adopted daughter, Emily, 7, with Griffin.

The Post has reached out to Foster and Griffin’s reps for comment.

Several sources also claimed Foster and Jackman, 56, are still keeping their relationship a secret.

“They go out of their way to hide it, but it’s common knowledge,” the insider said.

The Post has reached out to Jackman’s rep for comment.

Man savagely beats a 17 year old boy in the head with a metal baseball bat, just for stepping on to his property.

The boy sustains severe brain damage, and needs 24 hour care.

10 years later, the man is still not in jail, and even though the family of the boy won a civil suit against him, the man escaped having to pay because he "sold" his largest asset (a home) to his parents for $1, thereby getting out of having to pay the victim's family.

With the both he and Sutton Foster divorcing their respective spouses so they can be together, is Jackman really straight??

Well goddamn.

Honestly, I thought they were long gone for some reason. I'm watching a rerun of the '75 version of "Stepford Wives" and Paula just underwent the "conversion." Katharine Ross stabs her to see if she'll bleed -- she doesn't. "I thought we were friends." After all this time Paula's around and still married to Dick Benjamin (so good in "Westworld" around the same time). They've been married for 63 years. Also Katharine Ross, still kicking and married to Sam Elliott for 40 years. True Hollywood success stories, even if they don't act anymore.

I would say it was best it remained unaired. She was completely unknown until she appeared on Too Close For Comfort in 1980 a show that was itself mediocre.

List of supposedly the best whores according to Zach

Ludicrous, barely there arcs for the characters. Pacing was way off. The movie seemed to have no knowledge of Mexican culture. Selena Gomez was terrible. Absolutely no one would this huge tranny to be an actual woman. The only plus was Zoe Saldana…surprise…is able to sing and dance with great charisma. I would replace Zoe with Mike Faist, because her role was completely non sexual and Mike would tear up the stage during the VIP banquet wearing Zoe’s red suit, shaking his ass off aka that wedding video on Twitter where Mike is tearing up the dance floor back in Ohio.

Is the movie based a true story? A straight violent criminal who looks like a linebacker and is ugly as sin, wants to escape responsibility, fakes his death and self dead names, has a pussy installed, brings his kids and ex wife back to Mexico by lying to them about who he really is, manipulates his wife with money, starts an affair with another women, and does dramatically and then memorializes himself as a saint with an icon that looks 100 x better than him.

Am I missing something?

I think there will be a massive cherry-picked declassification of J6 information. If it hurts the government, it’ll be released. If it hurts Trump and the rioters, it’ll be destroyed.

That same principle will apply to covid origins too. If it hurts opponents, release it. If it hurts Trumpsters, destroy it.

'The feature directorial debut of veteran music video director Grant Singer, the film is set in motion by the brutal murder of a young real estate agent, following a hardened detective (Del Toro) as he attempts to uncover the truth in a case where nothing is as it seems. In doing so, he finds himself dismantling the illusions in his own life.'

Looks like good watching on an Autumn night. I'm sensing major curveball outcome but have no idea. Like, where the priest did it or something left field like that. They seem to be trying to make it look dark and intense but not sure I'm picking up that vibe. Just a straight, hopefully well-acted murder mystery. What do you guys think judging from this? P.S. - I LOVE Alicia Silverstone! Hope she makes a major comeback.

This is the latest I see about Joseph Anderson (formerly Joseph Price), Victor Zaborsky, and Dylan Thomas (formerly Dylan Ward).

"According to reports, Joseph Price and Victor Zaborsky own a home in the Miami enclave of Miami Shores. The Miami Shores residence is also where the three men are said to have stayed or frequented on several occasions since 2008.

Price and Ward both changed their names to Joseph Anderson and Dylan Thomas, respectively.

The Miami-based immigrant rights organization, Americans for Immigrant Justice, declared in a website post from winter 2013 that it had just recruited Joseph Anderson as its new Director of Litigation.

However, according to a 2016 report, Miami-based consulting and communications company Gapingvoid confirmed that Joseph Anderson was working as an attorney for the firm.

Dylan Thomas, formerly known as Dylan Ward, reportedly had his name and picture listed as a "massage practitioner" and "Pilates instructor" on the website of the Seattle Athletic Club in Seattle, Washington. Eventually, Thomas's picture and a brief biography appeared on the website of the Pilates Miami Health Club in Miami.

No name change has been made to Zaborsky's profile on the website of the Milk Processor Education Program, or MilkPEP, a trade association for the dairy and milk industries located in Washington, D.C."

LOL.

Donald Trump Jr. has trashed his father’s annual New Year’s Eve bash at Mar-a-Lago on his “Triggered with Don Jr.” podcast, calling it “amateur night” and saying guests have often treated him like a “freaking imbecile.”

Footage of this year’s celebrations captured Donald and Melania Trump, running mate J.D. Vance (and his wife Usha) and partying MAGA supporters clapping and singing along to Village People’s “YMCA.”

First buddy Elon Musk had his son, X, on his shoulders; Lara Trump, wife of Don Jr.’s brother Eric and former co-chair of the Republican National Committee, took to the mic with her rendition of Tom Petty’s classic "I Won’t Back Down."

Don Jr. could even be seen hamming it up with his new girlfriend, socialite model Bettina Anderson.

But the president-elect’s eldest son revealed before the big night that ringing in 2025 would be “a little rough.”

“I get to be around a thousand drunk people giving me their political opinions that I don’t necessarily want to hear,” he told his podcast guest Peter Schweizer. (Trump Jr. has reportedly been sober for over two decades.)

“By about midnight when everyone’s like, you know, 12 beers deep or whatever it is they’re drinking... it’s not for me,” he continued. “This’ll be like year, like nine of, ‘Hey, you know, have you ever thought to maybe have your dad not tweet that?’” he said. “I’m like, no, I’ve never thought that ‘cause I’m a freaking imbecile.”

Trump Jr. did note the political tips hadn’t so bad in recent years but insisted: “You wouldn’t know it but I’m basically a recluse… I’m okay with a mic when I have a big crowd, but I don’t like being around a lot of people if I can avoid it. I like fishing, hunting and, like, two people."

The party was also attended by the president-elect’s children Eric and Tiffany Trump, and his ex-wife Maria Maples.

Trump clearly didn’t share his son’s misgivings about the Mar-a-Lago bash, posting on his Truth Social account that he looked forward to seeing Musk at the party.

“Where are you? When are you coming to the ‘Center of the Universe, ‘Mar-a-Lago.’ We miss you and x! New Year’s Eve is going to be AMAZING!!!’

Suicide.

A tongue-in-cheek parody of DL’s favorite film! I’ve taken the liberty of summarizing the film’s general premise, but I need you to help me expand it!

**Title:** *Valet of the Dolls* **Genre:** Comedy/Parody

**Summary:**

In the glittering chaos of 1960s Hollywood, Eddie Russo, an unassuming valet at the prestigious Starlight Plaza Hotel, becomes an unwitting witness to the outrageous lives of Tinseltown’s most eccentric stars. Armed with his sharp wit, a knack for staying invisible, and an endless supply of parking tickets, Eddie finds himself navigating a bizarre web of scandal, melodrama, and absurdity.

The film kicks off with Eddie parking the pink Cadillac of fading screen goddess Claudia LaRue, who still insists she’s only 29 (despite starring in silent films). From there, he encounters a revolving door of outrageous personalities, including:

- **Roxie Blaze**, a volatile pop star with an addiction to "vitamins" (read: pills) and a penchant for launching diva tantrums in the valet line.

- **Chad Sterling**, a closeted matinee idol who uses Eddie to sneak his secret dates past the paparazzi.

- **Gloria Steele**, a fiercely ambitious Broadway star-turned-Hollywood hopeful who uses Eddie’s position as her personal intelligence network to spy on her rivals.

The special elections for state House and Senate seats offered early tests of the political environment after the 2024 campaign and ahead of this year's governor's race.

Democrats won a pair of special legislative elections in Northern Virginia on Tuesday, according to The Associated Press, allowing the party to maintain its narrow majorities in both chambers.

The special elections, both in districts in suburban Loudoun County, were the first since President-elect Donald Trump won a second term in November. While Democrats were favored, the results offered an early test of the political environment in Virginia, which is hosting a major governor’s race this year and where Republicans have made inroads in recent years.

After Srinivasan and Cifers take office, Democrats will hold a 21-19 majority in the state Senate. If Democrats had lost the special election for the Loudoun County seat, control of the chamber would have gone to the Republicans, because GOP Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears holds tiebreaking authority.

After Singh is sworn in, Democrats will maintain their 51-49 majority in the House of Delegates. A win by the Republican candidate would have resulted in a 50-50 tie.

He would search for victims at gay bars in Indianapolis

Why hasn't "Kelly Dodd" been in my life before today? I wish I could take her out to the local gay bar here and introduce her to every man there.

Since our former "Heartstopper" stans have thankfully departed, I'm hoping I can get an actual answer to this question. It was VERY obvious that Connor had a massive crush on Bash when he was still dating Joe Locke, and I guess they met via some sort of "gay Netflix actor group chat" or something – all before "Heartstopper" even premiered. I stopped following all of them for a while, but then I went back on IG and started noticing Connor showing up repeatedly on Bash's stories, and vice-versa. Connor's still in Toronto, but has flown to London at LEAST three times this year to "hang" with Bash.

Am I missing something here? Who on EARTH flies to the UK three times in a single year just to "hang out with a friend," particularly if they're not wealthy? (And Connor hasn't had a paying job since "Locke & Key" ended several years ago.) Are they fucking on the DL like Bash & Joe were?

Connor's now a geriatric gay (he turned 30 this year), but seems to hang out exclusively with twinks under 22. I'm not sure what's sadder: him flying 3,000 miles just to get some ass, despite living in one of the most gay-friendly cities in the world, or him obsessing like a teenage girl on his "crush."

This goober is hilarious.

Murder—

Andrei Kotov ran a travel agency that reportedly catered to gay men.

Andrei Kotov, 48, was found dead around 4 a.m. on Sunday at the Vodnik pretrial detention center, where he was awaiting trial on charges of supporting an international LGBT extremist terrorist movement. Leisan Mannapova, Kotov’s lawyer, confirmed her client died by suicide. His body was discovered in his cell covered in blood, and “cuts were found” on his body, an internal source told RIA Novosti.

Kotov ran Men Travel, a travel agency reportedly catering to gay men. He had recently concluded a cruise along the Volga River and was planning a trip to Egypt to ring in the New Year at the time of his arrest.

Had my annual physical and while the doc was doing it I asked if he was seeing a lot of flu patients this year.

He stopped and sighed. After a second he said, "SO much flu. I don't get it. We try to give good information and free flu shots and it's like no one is interested any more. And it feeds on itself. The more people get it, the more people get it from them and on and on."

I don't feel sorry for MAGA and RFK loons who get sick, but I really do feel for the doctors and nurses doing their best who still have to treat these yutzes.

Have you known a lot more people with flu this year?

I know his music was influential (if before my time) but I don’t get what makes Bon Dylan worthy of multiple movies… “Complete Unknown,” “I’m Not There,” etc.

What makes his life more dramatic than Joan Baez’s, for instance? Or Janis Joplin’s? No one’s made dramas about them…

This may not seem like a logical question because we are in the middle of winter, but I just thought of something. And now, I am curious. Back in November last year I saw an older gentleman walking with another guy in Hudson Square in a Black shirt and shorts. Possibly gym attire?

I wonder how common it is for natives to wear shorts like that in public? Usually, people dress to impress in some form. Thoughts?

Took five hours to create, apparently. I think it's a bit much, personally.

Sunny's not having a good season on The View, is she?

The View co-host Sunny Hostin's husband Emmanuel "Manny" Hostin has been named in a recent lawsuit.

Emmanuel, an orthopedic surgeon in New York, is among over 200 defendants who were named in a lawsuit filed last month, which reportedly accuses The View host's husband of federal insurance fraud.

According to a report from the Daily Mail, Emmanuel is alleged to have received "kickbacks" by "performing surgery and fraudulently billing" the insurance company American Transit, which insures taxi companies and Uber and Lyft drivers.

The lawsuit, filed on Dec. 17, is reported to be one of the largest Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) cases ever filed in New York. Emmanuel, along with many others, is accused of having "knowingly provided fraudulent medical and other healthcare services including arthroscopic surgeries."

American Transit claims to have been billed "in exchange for kickbacks and/or other compensation which were disguised as dividends or other cash distributions."

Emmanuel has been married to Sunny since 1998 and shares two children with the talk show host, a lawyer and former federal prosecutor.

According to a statement provided to the Daily Mail, Emmanuel's lawyer, Daniel Thwaites, said that his client "denies each and every allegation" and believes the lawsuit to be a "blanket, scattershot, meritless lawsuit by a near-bankrupt insurance carrier."

Parade also reached out to Emmanuel's lawyer but did not immediately hear back.

Trump Supporter Singing MAGA Tune Crashes Car While Speeding in Snow

Check it out ... three Trump supporters were speeding down a snowy highway while blasting "M-A-G-A," a pro-Trump take on 45 (soon-to-be 47)'s favorite song, the Village People's "Y.M.C.A."

The Trumper and his 2 women passengers couldn't help but sing along and dance to the song as they live-streamed their journey.

It's unclear on what day the incident occurred, but in an X post of the incident yesterday, the driver addresses the camera -- "Me, personally, I'm already at the Capitol, I'm already yelling on my bullhorn, I've got my flag up in the air" -- before he starts singing.

As they continue singing -- "Shout it out loud!" -- the vehicle begins to swerve on the snowy roadway. Though the driver tried to gain control of the car, it spun out and crashed into the highway median.

The trio never once turned off the "M-A-G-A" anthem, however ... inadvertently featuring the song as the soundtrack to their accident.

No one appeared to be injured in the collision, with the driver and passengers assuring those tuning into their live stream that they were alright after the highway hiccup.

He then says ... "Look at these roads, man, look at these roads -- God has cleared a path for us today."

This is probably one of the worst werewolf transformations I’ve ever seen. He just looks like a mutant zombie.

I used to be a news junkie and watched Aljazeera English, France 24, etc. With streaming in the past 10 years you no longer have to pay expensive cable packages. Which international news channel do you like??

I find Aljazeera English is better overall, especially for more in-depth reports and stories that are non western. France 24 is good for brief news stories but is Europe centric and shallow. BBC doesn't do live streaming outside of major events, but it is boring and British/European centric.

Sad.

Senate Majority Leader John Thune has privately told President-elect Donald Trump that he believes Pete Hegseth will have the votes to be confirmed as Secretary of Defense, according to three sources.

When asked for comment, a spokesman for Thune would only tell CBS News, “Two things we don’t discuss publicly: Whip counts and private conversations with the president.” Hegseth’s confirmation hearing is scheduled for Jan. 14, according to Senate Armed Services Chairman Roger Wicker.

Trump named Hegseth his pick for Defense Secretary on Nov. 12, a week after the election. Days later, Hegseth came under fire amid accusations of past sexual misconduct. An unidentified woman accused Hegseth of sexual assault in a Moneterey, California, hotel room in 2017.

Actor Steve Tracy, best known as Nellie Oleson's milquetoast-ish husband Percy in the early 1980s, made his film debut in 1977 in the gay porn movie "Heavy Equipment," starring legend Jack Wrangler.

Tracy is the main character in the movie, playing, as usual, a nerd who comes across a magic spell that transforms him into a hot gay stud who has lots of sex with other guys.

The movie is surprisingly heavy on dialogue and plot and features decent acting, back when X-rated movies were actually "movies." In fact, it's a good 20-25 minutes before the movie's first sex scene.

It's interesting that Tracy managed to transition to the mainstream after this one. Poor guy was one of AIDS' early casualties, though, passing away in 1986 at just 34 years of age.

Two teenage brothers have been missing for over a week in California after one of their kayaks flipped during a duck hunting trip.

Wesley and Andruw Cornett, 17 and 19 respectively, were last heard from on December 14 during their trip to Thermalito Afterbay in Butte County. On Monday, authorities announced that they were scaling back searches.

According to the Butte County Sheriff’s Office, 911 dispatch received a call from Andruw around 8:30 a.m. on the day of the incident, saying that his brother’s kayak had overturned.

He told officers he was going to jump in to save his brother after being advised “multiple times” not to get in the water. Neither boy was wearing a life jacket.

Thermalito Afterbay is a 4,300-acre lake with weeds up to 10 feet tall and temperatures that threaten hypothermia, according to the Sheriff’s Office.

First responders arrived within 15 minutes of the initial call and located the kayak but not the teenagers. About 20 minutes later, a kayak, paddles and waders were found, but the boys were nowhere to be seen.

In a statement on Monday — the 10th day of the search — BCSO said it was shifting the focus to a “continuous limited search.” Over the course of the search divers located Andruw’s pants, Wesley’s wallet and jacket with his phone inside.

“At this point in the recovery, we have exhausted efforts with divers and sonar technology and will shift the focus to a continuous limited search,” the statement said. “This involves surface search methods, which includes aircrafts, drones, boats, on-shore vehicles, and K9s.”

Around 280 team members from 21 different agencies had previously been involved in the search.

“Thousands of acres have been searched by boat, by ground and by raft,” said Trevor Skaggs, with the Sheriff Office’s search and rescue team, in a video shared by the Sheriff’s Office.

In a post on GoFundMe, April Clark, the boys’ mother, said Andrew was a “hero in my eyes” for trying to save his brother.

“The Sheriff is saying this is now a search and recovery so I will have to also plan to lay my two boys to rest,” she wrote. “This is a freak accident that my family and I are trying to wrap our heads around and we also have 4 girls at home who we still need to care for.”

“This is hard for me to write as I’m beyond broken into so many pieces.”

I watched Car Wash on TCM the other day and Melanie Mayron played the receptionist in the movie. The movie came out on 1976 and by the time Thirtysomething came out in 1987 she had her face completely rebuilt. It’s great work and doesn’t look weird but geez it’s shocking to see how much work she’s had done.

Natalie Wood was miscast and practically ruined the movie. She wasn't believable. The film was so far ahead of its time thanks to Jerry Robbins and his choreography, but the casting was wrong. The Jets with their bleached blonde hair at least could dance and had amazing asses. (The first thing I noticed as a young gay kid when I saw it on screen.) The songs were inspired and beautifully arranged.

He had MS for years and years.

As a politician he has tasted triumphed and endured isolation.

The path of triumph began when as a young conservative minister he was responsible for negotiating Britain's entry into the common market. It culminated when as Prime Minister he signed the treaty which made the United Kingdom a member of the European community. The isolation began three years later, when after defeat in two general elections, he lost the leadership of his party. He has never held political office since.

Greatly admired abroad, but treated with a certain caution at home, his good taste and wide interests have allowed him to enjoy many things; politics, music, and a love of the sea.

Thoughts on Rt Hon Sir Edward Heath MP?

I can't wait to miss it, and not watch it!

$20 million budget and barely made $5 million worldwide since it opened.

Has she ever been able to open a movie? It's one bomb after another ....

Before she was Debrina, she was Debbie.

In her town of Little Falls, N.J., Debbie Kawam was a girl people wanted to be around: the cheerleader with the inner glow, dispensing high-fives in the hallways of Passaic Valley Regional High School, cruising with friends, striking a pose against a backdrop of Led Zeppelin posters, welcoming diners at Perkins Pancake House in her hostess uniform.

Into her 20s, Ms. Kawam was the life of the party, flying off with girlfriends to Las Vegas and the Caribbean and living in the moment.

Later would come years of darkness, then decades. And on Dec. 22, Ms. Kawam was set afire on a subway train in Brooklyn in an apparently random attack captured on harrowing video. For nine days, the woman was anonymous in death. After her body was identified on Tuesday, the grieving could begin.

As the name she had adopted, Debrina, flashed across the news, classmates mustered memories to blot out the indelible image of a human figure outlined in flame.

“So sweet and kind,” said her onetime pancake-house colleague Diane Risoldi, 57, whom Ms. Kawam had helped get the job. “I can still see her in the black skirt and pink button-down. Always smiling.”

“She seemed like a girl who was going to have everything,” said Susan Fraser.

Ms. Kawam, 57, grew up in a small white house on a street dotted with modest single-family homes. Her father worked on the assembly line at the General Motors plant in Linden. Her mother worked in a bakery, said Malcolm Fraser, Susan’s husband and a childhood friend of Ms. Kawam. She had an older brother and sister.

Joe Rocco, who often walked home from school with Debbie, said that at recess, kids used to send kickballs flying in her direction just to have an excuse to be near her.

Mark Monteyne, 57, was the captain of the Passaic Valley Hornets football team in 1984, which meant he had a cheerleader personally paired with him: Debbie Kawam. “She was really that bright light,” he said. One of her tasks was to decorate his locker for game day. “Every game there was something special — balloons, stickers,” he remembered. (cont.)

Alphaville's "Forever Young" has had an interesting life. I was introduced to it in the late 2000s or so when Jay-Z sampled it in a song called "Young Forever." Recently David Guetta has remixed the song which is getting some radio airplay.

I see that it only peaked at 65 on the Hot 100. As someone who wasn't around, I'm curious if the song got much exposure in America in its original form. Was it on the radio? Was it an "MTV hit"?

No more appeals to exhume the bodies, this one is even more raw.

[quote]This is my testimony. I think I decided to be an actor because acting was just a cosmic cart for a much higher journey. Finding me, finding a sense of belonging. Finding my worth. I saw life as a big fucking fat dude. A Gordo with a big belly, eating a really greasy, moist turkey leg. I was a bed-wetter who went to school with clothes soaked with urine.

And this is just the beginning, you really have to read the rest, she went full Hillbilly Elegy.

The Trumpification of social media continues apace.

When will Muriel add community notes, I wonder.

With that guy from the Walking Dead.

OMG this movie looks so horrible.

I appreciate that this movie isn't your typical Hollywood Sequel garbage.

But original movies should at least attempt to be good.

This is just.... ugh.

What was anyone thinking?

And as a bonus, Jerry Hall was with Rupert Murdoch!

A MAGA hillbilly family can't agree if Trump should pardon the patriarch who was thrown in jail for the J6 attacks. Turns out the 'liberal son' is the one who tipped off the FBI that his dad was part of the J6 participants. Now the son fears his dad will kill him once he gets out of jail.

Looks like the inevitable sexual harassment lawsuit is finally going down.

The low-key buffoonery continues here

A Black gay man who’d been left homeless by a fire was fatally stabbed in New York City’s Bronx borough the morning of Christmas Eve and bled out in his husband’s arms.

Arkmayer Davis, 36, was stabbed on the street on the way back from a laundromat to the shelter where he and his husband, Daris Antwan Davis, 35, had been living since a fire at their apartment building destroyed almost all of their belongings December 2, the New York Daily Newsreports.

Arkmayer Davis had gone to the laundromat Tuesday morning to exchange cell phones with his husband, who had mistakenly taken Arkmayer’s with him. When Daris Antwan Davis returned to their room at the shelter, he found Arkmayer unconscious and covered in blood.

But MAGA told me that America was a crime-filled hellhole with migrants killing people left and right...

I’m the explanation that “fit fat” is not, in fact, fit in least. It’s just fat.

Inspired by the linked thread.

Ann Sothern played Rosie Hannigan aka the Countess Framboise. She appeared in a bunch of episodes. She was a fill-in for Vance’s brief absence. Then they brought in Joan Blondell. Joan was supposed to be the permanent replacement but Lucy and Joan fought nonstop in front of the studio audience. Why didn’t they keep Ann Sothern? They had chemistry and were obviously good friends.

The beloved TV sit-com is close to my heart. It aired for 9 seasons (1976-1985) on CBS and made household names of the cast. Do you have a favorite season or episode? A fave character?

Mystic River is one of my favorite films.

Girl is in trouble...........

Because there is no family there.

I did get 10 personal messages on facebook.

I'm not trying to incite a whole thing....I was surprised to receive that many well wishes. I have eschewed facebook for at least the last 8 months together.

Anyway, just know that sometimes your inane "happy birthday" posts sometime really matter. they did for me.

Everyone keeps saying it.

Good Christ.

Do you own a gun? Are you thinking of getting one?

"Since Donald Trump’s reelection in November, nontraditional gun groups across the city and country have seen a flood of interest. The national Liberal Gun Club said it has received thousands of training requests since the election, more than in all of 2023. A spokesperson for the group estimated that roughly a quarter were from LGBTQ people."

The former leader of the extremist group says he can only see the outside of his cell for one hour a day.

Nayib Hassan, Tarrio’s lawyer, wrote Monday in a letter to Trump that the former leader of the extremist group is a “young man with an aspiring future ahead of him,” and argued that Tarrio was “portrayed throughout the government’s case as a right-wing extremist that promoted a neo-fascist militant organization.” Hassan wrote that because Tarrio was arrested on Jan. 4, 2021, for unrelated charges, and was ordered out of Washington, D.C., he did not “partake in the rally that took place on January 6, 2021.”

Hassan also lamented that his client has been placed in a special housing unit in prison where he can “only see the outside of his cell for one hour a day,” and argued that this is a “cruel and an unusual punishment” that has negatively affected Tarrio’s mental health.

Bruv? Really?

"On Friday, Apple's AI inaccurately summarised BBC app notifications to claim that Luke Littler had won the PDC World Darts Championship hours before it began - and that the Spanish tennis star Rafael Nadal had come out as gay."

MASSILLON, Ohio (WCMH) — An Ohio school district will pay $450,000 to a middle school teacher who resigned for refusing to address two transgender students by their preferred names and pronouns.

Jackson Local School District reached a settlement in December with the teacher, Vivian Geraghty, after she claimed in a 2022 lawsuit that her First Amendment rights were violated when she was told to resign from a middle school language arts position.

The agreement follows a ruling from the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Ohio in August that said forcing Geraghty to use students’ preferred names amounts to “compelled speech” and that the school’s “pronoun practice was not neutral.”

Does anyone donate to the Eric McCormack dog rescue? I haven’t yet and I have a dog and love most dogs. The ads are so sad-are they exaggerations? Sometimes I just can’t watch. I should shut up and donate.

This is the time to catch something you have always wanted to watch. What is good on there?

Was there ever a more awesome character/role/performance in movie history?

Who agrees that her part should have been bigger?

What I remember

British mystery series from the 1990s

Aired on PBS in the United States

Set in London

Involves a prominent man discovering his partner's infidelity A confrontation ensues, leading to the woman falling down the stairs and dying

I read so many threads here about Gen Z entitlement, strange and unrealistic expectations in work settings, not pulling their weight, inability to read the room, and general clulessness. I always wonder if it's a matter of selective attention and overestimating it (we're elderly curmudgeons, after all). Then I read stories like this. She doesn't seem to be appalled or embarrassed that she almost created a catastrophe.

[QUOTE]Delaney Neal mentioned that she had to dry her clothes for three cycles before they were completely done.

[QUOTE]Kailey's husband, Rane, turned to Delaney and asked, “Have you cleaned out your lint trap in a while?” In response, Delaney, 22, said, “What are you talking about?”

[QUOTE] “The amount shown in the video isn’t even half of what came out of the back of it.” "We are in a family of four sisters, we are pretty ditzy, and stuff like this happens all the time," she adds. "Thankfully we have praying parents."

With the exception of my neighbor's son who just turned 21 and graduated college in 2 1/2 years, I don't have much interaction with Gen Z. And he's ot representative.

UNDESERVING, as in not having nearly enough talent to justify their nasty attitude? I nominate James Corden and Kevin James.

“This is an unimaginable tragedy,” the actor and Baena’s family said in a joint statement shared with media on Monday. “We are deeply grateful to everyone who has offered support. Please respect our privacy during this time.”

Fully straight ex- gay pronstar EFinn known for his miserable fucki..PERFORMANCE and torn hairy asshole is also known for Q&A where he spill some tea. One of his more viewed ones was about sexuality of guys working in gay pron. Q: Have you ever work with a straight guy on set? A: Yes, but like I was saying there are very few straight guys in industry; most are bi or gay themselves [insert retarted face].

While for 99.9% of society its obvious that most guys who take dick in their ass with a hardon and cum like gayzer(lol) are not straight we have some [older] guys who will desperately cling to allerged "fact" those guys are 100% HETEROSEXUAL. Just little reality check.

So let's again discuss this already 1 milion times discussed topic cause its funny.... like people discuss about God and afterlife since forever and nobody seems to be bored by this shit.

It was in and out of my local theater in a weekend about a month ago (maybe less) and I have been waiting for it to come out in streaming and it hasn’t. That seems unusual because even theater-run blockbusters get on streaming pretty quickly, if not immediately. Maybe it’s streaming already someplace I haven’t found?

Was just in a commercial for a local HVAC company. I did a double take

Not shaming him, just thought it was unusual

Also played the SUPER queeny Roger de Bris in [italic]The Producers[/italic], among other things. His wikipedia bio says he was "A devout Catholic and lifelong bachelor". What's the real story?

Donald Trump Jr. was spotted in Palm Beach with a new girlfriend on Saturday, the Daily Mail revealed with new photos.

Trump Jr., 46, was pictured with Bettina Anderson, 38, a Palm Beach socialite, on Monday night. Trump Jr. is still engaged to Kimberly Guilfoyle, 55, but his romance with Anderson is reportedly an “open secret” in the Florida town.

Anderson also shared a birthday message from the future first son on her Instagram stories. “Many Have Said You’re Aging Out But I Think You’re Perfect… Happy Birthday!” a flower delivery card read. Anderson discreetly tagged Trump Jr. in the upper left corner.

“Tough but fair,” she captioned the post.

Trump Jr. and Anderson dined together at a restaurant in Palm Beach a few miles away from Anderson’s townhouse, where they have been spending time together, the Daily Mail reported.

News of their romance first broke in September, when they were photographed at another Palm Beach restaurant together and seen kissing. Guilfoyle reportedly didn’t know about Anderson until the news broke.

“He’s pretty bold and, as smart as she is, Kimberly looked the other way,” a source told the Daily Mail.

Guilfoyle, a former Fox News host, has been in Donald Trump’s orbit since 2018, when she first started dating Trump Jr. A friend added that it was unclear whether the couple would stay together, but “it would look bad to humiliate her” because of her proximity to the president-elect.

Anderson is the daughter of a bank president and the co-founder of The Paradise Fund, a nonprofit focusing on disaster relief.

Fuck.

She says that the buttons used to pop off of Aretha’s dresses.

Why, in gay years she's.....dead.

She is in talks to play Evita in London

Watch out world, here I come,

Currently, it's nothing but dark sky and clouds. Sort of sucks and I have low energy because of it.

Her wig tried to flee the scene too!

Jealous Bitches ?!

I fried it in olive 🫒 oil and sprinkled garlic powder and onion 🧅 powder on it served it on corn tortillas with Vegenaise, lettuce and tomato- yum 😋

Blond and beautiful.

I live just north of NYC. Today we had not much more than a dusting but the real McCoy might be on the weekend. Washington D.C. is got pummeled from this storm today.

While it won't be as good as the book, I hope it's better than the meh adaptation of Never Let Me Go.

Other than The Remains of the Day, they haven't had much luck adapting Kazuo Ishiguro books.

What are some of your favourite YouTube channels? Lately I love watching this couples road trip videos. They’re non political unlike some and I actually learn a lot.

Your Persnickety, Picky Porn Preferences 🧐

What are some super-niche, super picky, ridiculously particular preferences that really bother you? I don't mean something most people will agree on like (I don't like it when the guys aren't into it or when one of them doesn't cum etc.)

I have what I think is an odd one: I don't quite know why, but I find it kind of a turn-off when I see a scene with two unmistakably white guys and one of them has their natural skin tone (whether that's pale as a ghost or bordering on olive) and one of them is tanned within an inch of his life -- you know what I mean, you can practically smell the bronzer coming off the screen, or, he's definitely spent the past two weeks just lying in the sun in Mexico.

And, NO, I am not talking about interracial scenes. Interracial scenes are hot, guys with melanin are hot. Latino, Asian, Black, Arab, Indian, Australasian, Mediterranean guys are all hot. I'm just talking about obviously white guys who are overly tanned.

Although I don't have a preference for it, I don't even mind it if both of the white guys are similarly tanned, but if one of them looks like it's the middle of winter in Minnesota and the other looks like he's been bronzing on a balcony in Cabo in June my brain gets scrambled. The paler guy ends up looking sickly (even though he isn't) and the tanned guy looks unnatural.

I told you this was persnickety! Okay, let's hear 'em.

WTF is she wearing?

Have we ever done a poll on our posters' educations? If we have, let's do another one now.

I remember reading an anecdote by a minor actress (maybe Colleen Camp) who was either married to or dating a big studio executive and she said that when she was in the relationship with him, no one would fuck with her.

Ryan Reynolds is at the top of the Hollywood food chain right now. Why would Baldoni think he could get away with fucking over his wife? Baldoni was still a relatively inexperienced director (two small features), he chose to cast a temperamental actress as the lead in his first big feature, he chose to cast himself opposite her which would increase the chances for friction, and then he sexually harassed her? Did he not think he would get destroyed?

Were you alive back then. I was half alive. I was 20 years old and in a precarious position. The whole world was opening up and totally fucking shut down at the same time. Gay Rights, Vietnam, Nixon, America fucking love it or leave it. Tell me about it. I was homeless cannon fodder about to be shipped to Saigon. But in just a few years I'd be fine. Everyone has a story. Tell me yours.

This Karen burned a few bars in Puerto Rico and is now being sought for prosecution!

Monday marks the fourth anniversary of the violent events of Jan. 6, 2021 -- a day President-elect Donald Trump has continually tried to recast as a "day of love."

Trump is vowing to pardon Jan. 6 rioters on the first day of his administration, saying while it will done be on a case-by-case basis, he believes a majority of them should not be in jail and have "suffered greatly."

At an event at Mar-a-Lago over the weekend, according to an audio recording obtained by ABC News, he continued to claim that the the electoral votes from the 2020 election "could have been sent back" and criticized then-Vice President Mike Pence for adhering to his constitutional duty to uphold the certification process and not unilaterally reject the election results.

plus previews?

No thanks.

As we all know, Humpty Dumpty was an egg-shaped fellow who sat on a wall, spectacularly fell off it, broke, and then died despite the efforts of royal servants, including, inexplicably, horses.

But hold onto your hats. It’s all A LIE. Here’s the full story:

[Quote] Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall.

[Quote] Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.

[Quote] All the king's horses and all the king's men

[Quote] Couldn't put Humpty together again.

These facts have been suppressed from the public and it’s immediately clear why. [bold]There is no reference to Humpty Dumpty being an egg man at all in this, the only primary source of the event.[/bold]

For generations we have been fed a false narrative. But … why? Who stood to benefit from this fraud perpetrated on a gullible public of Humpty Dumpty being a fragile and egg-shaped?

I really do suspect that this is a wide-ranging conspiracy, and it’s being perpetuated to this very day. My own analysis has focused on big pharma, but I’m a free thinker and my passion for uncovering the truth here makes me receptive to any ideas any of you may have.

So, before I drop the link to my gofundme to help finance my research, let me ask if anyone else here has seen through this web of lies, and investigated on their own.

I was only a gayling, but I miss guys wearing cutoff jean shorts in Jesus sandals. I miss thin men. I miss Carole King Tapestry. Hell, I even miss Earth Shoes.

Kieran Culkin and Jesse Eisenberg both deserve (and will most likely get) Oscar nominations for this terrific little film that was truly a surprise to me. I didn’t expect to like it as much as I did but it was truly wonderful, with phenomenal writing and the performances all incredible. It was thought provoking while also moving and funny at times. Kieran’s charm absolutely radiates off the screen and Jesse is able to play off that as the “straight man”, more serious and holding everything together. An absolute gem that I would recommend to anyone looking for a good film to watch.

The ‘Alice’ star & Tony-winning Broadway actress was 87.

Elon Musk launched into a foul-mouthed X tirade directed at a student who called him out for allegedly spreading disinformation.

“Elon Musk is rapidly becoming the largest spreader of disinformation in human history, hijacking political debates in the process,” wrote Joni Askola, a Finnish graduate student and activist for defense of Ukraine. “The EU must take action!”

“F u retard,” came Musk’s response, containing a slur used against people who have mental disabilities. He then replied saying “yes” to another person who said: “We could have avoided a lot of disasters by simply telling leftist retards to stfu.”

He’s going to be one of those chameleon actors like Guy Pearce or Christian Bale

Surely, we can all leave up the Christmas wreaths an extra day or two!

I’ve had a persistent cough and general flu symptoms for a couple of weeks now. I was vaccinated for flu last winter. Just got swabbed over the weekend and have tested positive for HMPV.

There’s currently no treatment other than isolation so I’ve dug out my masks so that on the rare occasions that I venture out I’m unlikely to pass it on.

This one is currently surging in China.

Gorgeous grisly unsettling rendition of the classic story

Visually sublime. An endless parade of brilliantly conceived shots lit and executed to perfection with stunning production design.

Lily Rose Depp does things I’ve never seen an actress do. It’s definitely the definitive female performance in Dracula tale and will surely launch her as a major star.

Nicholas Hoult Willem Dafoe and Emma Corrin also superb. Hoults work in the castle scenes and Corrin’s sickbed scene are great.

I was disappointed not to have the brides and for some reason the vampires victims do not turn into vampires they just die. That felt like a missed opportunity.

Aaron Taylor Johnson gets the Keanu award for being the weak link acting wise.

Yes you see Nosferatu peen.

4.5/5 stars. Loses half a star for lacking vampire brides and Lucy in a crazy lace headpiece

So hot!

Norah O’Donnell will cede the reins of the venerable “CBS Evening News” after the 2024 presidential election in favor of a new role as a senior correspondent who will seek out big interviews and opportunities for deeper reporting, the latest major change at CBS News after its business was merged with that of the local-TV operations of parent company Paramount Global.

O’Donnell, who recently celebrated her fifth year in the anchor chair, sees an opportunity to pursue signature interviews with top newsmakers — something that proved appealing to her after her recent sit-down with Pope Francis earlier this year.

“Together, our team has won Emmy, Murrow, and DuPont awards. We managed to anchor in-studio through COVID; we took the broadcast on the road from aircraft carriers to the Middle East, and around the world. We were privileged to conduct a historic interview with Pope Francis,” O’Donnell said in a note sent to staffers Tuesday. “There’s so much work to be proud of! But I have spent 12 years in the anchor chair here at CBS News, tied to a daily broadcast and the rigors of a relentless news cycle. It’s time to do something different. This presidential election will be my seventh as a journalist, and for many of us in this business we tend to look at our careers in terms of these milestone events.”

O’Donnell will continue to anchor all of CBS News’ major coverage leading up to the 2024 Election including the Democratic National Convention, Election Night, and more. In her new role, O’Donnell will continue to contribute to “Evening News,” “60 Minutes” and other CBS News programs. The new arrangement is understood to be part of a longer-term commitment that the anchor and CBS News are making to one another.

Still, the maneuver is part of a parade of major changes at CBS News in recent months. The national newsgathering operation was in 2021 merged with CBS’ stations, and late last year was consolidated further under the management oversight of Wendy McMahon, who also oversees CBS’ syndicated business. In July, Ingrid Ciprian-Matthews, a veteran journalism executive who was named president of the Paramount Global news unit just last August, told staffers she would exit her role in favor of consulting duties; CBS has yet to name her replacement.

Under McMahon, CBS News has focused more intently on utilizing both national and local journalists for broader coverage, and recently unveiled a new “whip-around” streaming concept that relies on contributions from both the journalists at CBS News and the newsrooms at various CBS-owned local stations.

McMahon sees O’Donnell’s shift as one that will help her broader efforts. “Norah’s superpower is her ability to secure and then masterfully deliver unparalleled interviews and stories that set the news cycle and capture the cultural zeitgeist,’ McMahon said in a memo, adding: “How many people can effortlessly shift from field-anchoring on an aircraft carrier in the Red Sea to sitting down with Bono and Dolly Parton? Norah’s work here is legendary, and she has several major interviews in the works that will be equally memorable and momentous.”

From Twitter: The closer it gets to Jan 20, the more I feel dread and anxiety. I will never forgive anyone that voted for tRump.

I was looking for a particular performer and this came up in my search results. No thanks, I'll stick to the real thing.

I like them but lets face it, they are not the apex of civilization anymore. I love history books, but no one puts them in a museum to gawk at and feel compelled to admire and convulse over.

The future of the gay community will be interesting.

I'm glad someone is standing up to Apartheid Clyde

Someone just recommended it to me and I didn’t know about it. I saw the trailer and it’s in Spanish but I can deal with reading subtitles, but is it good? They say it is but sometimes they like shit.

It looks good and I’m intrigued because I found out she was a real person, but you can never know based on a trailer.

Do you recommend?

Lots of stupid, inane threads being launched by one dumbass on here . It’s really making my ass tired.

And here I thought this whole time he was a closet case. Gaydar failed me again.

I can’t believe she only ever received two Grammy nominations.

Saw it this afternoon.

Pretty funny.

Do you think they paid the disgraced Jeffrey Jones for the use of his image & likeness?

How do you feel about this? Have you turned your life around, or on the other hand, would you want to know what a potential suitor or hiring candidate did in their past?

Corn Soup (1 can of corn and milk, heat up)

Corn Fritters (add corn to Pearl Milling Pancake Mix and fry it in Crisco)

Sara Lee Chocolate Cake (cook under broiler until the icing fizzles)

The chocolate cake in particular sounds orgasm inducing.

What would your list consist of?

I think she will become a gay icon.

Just days before James Dean’s first movie premiered, the actor reportedly paid off a disgruntled male lover who threatened to expose their relationship.

The agreement, which remained a secret for seven decades, is unveiled in a new book, "Jimmy: The Secret Life of James Dean." The star died in a car accident at age 24 in 1955.

"James Dean had been blackmailed by a former lover," author Jason Colavito claimed about the "Rebel Without a Cause" icon.

"He had met a man named Rogers Brackett who was an advertising executive and radio show producer way back when he was just starting his career," Colavito explained.

"The two of them had a relationship, according to Rogers Brackett. It was a loving relationship, and they were partners. They lived together. He provided Dean with a great amount of help and assistance in getting his career started. [But] their relationship fell apart."

According to Colavito, the two men met in 1951. At the time, Dean, an Indiana native, was working as a parking valet. Colavito claimed that Brackett introduced Dean to several prominent people in the film industry, kicking off his Hollywood career.

Dean, struggling financially, reportedly took a smitten Brackett’s offer to move in with him. The relationship became tumultuous with Brackett saying of Dean years later that he was "like a child" who "behaved badly just to get attention." Meanwhile, Dean saw Brackett as "increasingly desperate" and "manipulative," Colavito wrote.

The relationship, which was on and off, lasted until about 1953, Colavito claimed.

"There were many reasons that the relationship between James Dean and Rogers Brackett soured," said Colavito. "One of the reasons was that James Dean simply wasn’t comfortable being in a relationship with a man.

"This was the first time that he had been in such a relationship, and it moved very fast. They went from meeting each other to living together in a matter of weeks. And according to the stories that Dean’s friends later told, James Dean felt overwhelmed by it."

"It was simply too much," Colavito continued. "He felt like Rogers Brackett was trying to control him, that he was acting more like a father to him than an equal." As for Dean, he felt "used," said the author.

After the couple parted ways, Brackett seemingly disappeared from Dean’s life – at least until Dean was about to make his screen debut in 1955’s "East of Eden."

"Rogers returned, and he started sending letters and making telephone calls to James Dean’s agent demanding money," Colavito claimed. "He wanted James Dean to repay him all the money that he had spent on him during their relationship, supporting him. Things like paying for his rent, paying for his clothes, for meals, for travel. He wanted reimbursement for all of that."

Colavito claimed that at the time, Brackett had lost his job and was looking to finance an opera he wanted to produce.

"He was trying to hit up Dean for that money," said Colavito. "He knew that James Dean was about to become a huge movie star in ‘East of Eden.’ So, he timed this strategically. There are letters between James Dean’s agent, his attorney and Rogers’ attorney that show the development of this incident. It eventually rose to the level that Rogers said that he was going to sue Dean."

At the time, a homosexual relationship would have destroyed Dean’s career before it even started – and he knew it.

Dean, feeling sexually exploited, but wanting to avoid a public scandal, reluctantly agreed to pay Brackett $800, which, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis, is about $10,000 today, to "make him go away." The average salary for men at the time was about $3,400, according to the U.S. Department of Commerce.

This one sounds interesting, and has hottie Matthew Lewis.

What's everyone think of these two legends and has anyone on DL ever met either of them?

Luigi - Matthew Daddario

His attorney - Julianna Marguiles

Mom- Sharon Stone

Dad- Justin Baldoni

College girlfriend - Melissa Barrera

Secret college boyfriend - Connor Jessup

Baltimore yass queen that he was buying Hermes - Jeremey Pope

The restaurant didn't even want to take their money!

The two women paid their bill any way, but the employee ran after them and gave them back their money.

I actually think that's the most insulting part of the story.

Imagine how truly sad and fat one has to be to make threads all day about old pop stars and how their careers went down the shitter.

I can't believe that this WHORE makes $1.2 million a year.

He must be lying. Right?

Selective Service!

Unworthy, I follow in the footsteps of the Great Ones of Datalounge Past:

Bea's annual New Year's Eve party will be here before we can get all those eggs deviled, and there are invitations to be sent and Bourbon to buy!

This year's resolution: no riff raff at the party. Keep it classy, ladies.

Unlike most politicians who simply do/say what AIPAC pays them to, I do believe Biden's love for Israel is genuine and pure. Not that there's any other logical and conceivable explanation.

Mariah does it every year with her fucking Christmas song. Can you imagine what she rakes in from that just song alone?

I can't Believe Beyonce's horrific "country" song actually went to #1. And for two weeks!

It's always such a mixed bag of choices...lots of politicians and former politicians and big donors to the respective political parties. And, "stars". This year's list includes such odd choices as Bill Nye the Science Guy and Anna Wintour.

Who haven't they chosen over the years who should have been honored?

Link to the list of folks who have already gotten it:

Hold me, David..

He is so fine. And yes, he knows what he's doing. And we so appreciate it.

As someone who has seen most of the director's films, this was one that I was embarrassed to have never watched. I finally did, and I loved every second of it. Diane Ladd is a scene stealer as the vindictive Southern mama, and Nicolas Cage's body never looked hotter. Were/are you a fan?

What is the best murder film of all time?

A few years ago, while helping a friend move some furniture, his 70ish mother picked up a curtain rod from a pile of them leaning in a corner. Among them was a cast iron one that was very heavy. It fell and knocked her unconscious in a very cartoonish kind of way; it hit her, she straightened up and just fell over backwards. I laughed and could not stop. I realized after a few moments that everyone was staring at me as though I just defecated on the dining room table. Yep. I am a terrible person.

A few people on Reagan’s Team have corroborated that they promised Iran millions to keep the American hostages until after the election—so Carter wouldn’t get any credit and Reagan would win.

Yet, when this news was released in the last few years, it landed with a thud. No one seemed to care. Why?

We can always hope that Timmy will again dress in an adventurous fashion, like his many halters and lady blouses once the Oscar’s campaign for A Complete Unknown wraps up with Timmy accepting the Best Actor at the awards ceremony.

My niece recently started dating a sexy old craftsman and she tore out all her carpet. I asked what she was replacing it with and she looked at me like I had two heads. She's just going to leave the bare pussy! I see young people doing this a lot nowadays. Nobody has carpet anymore. Neither the men nor the women. They say thick carpet is back but the most you see is a strip of carpet over the bare holes and poles.

In my day, thick plush carpet was the standard and people couldn't wait to have luxurious carpet and play in it and sink into it. It felt so nice and cozy and your dick didn't get cold! I don't understand it. What's the obsession with bare holes and poles?

It is cute, the eldergays here might enjoy it.

I’m sure this is very low brow, but I still like this cheap frozen burritos. The beef / bean and green chile or the red hot beef are my favorite. Just slather with hot sauce and / or sour cream and it’s a good light meal or snack.

Anyone else a fan of old school frozen cheapies like these?

And Trump is heading back to the White House. Will he pardon them? He’ll probably give them presidential freedom medals.

By "little known," I mean aside from classics like Dracula or Frankenstein or The Hunting of Hill House, or more contemporary bestsellers like Stephen King or Peter Straub or Joe Hill.

Lately I've been reading some great horror books published by a smaller press called Valancourt Books, which has a lot of undiscovered clasics. My favorites so far have been The Elementals by Matthew McDowell, Burnt Offerings (which is perhaps better known because of the famous movie) by Robert Marasco, and some very creepy novellas and stories by Robert Westall (collected in Antique Dust, The Stones of Muncaster, and Spectral Shadows). I also have read some great and very unsettling short stories by the mid-century British writer Robert Aickman re-issued from Faber & Faber. Anything along these lines to recommend? I prefer unsettling, creepy stories to gory ones.

Another reason abortion must be legal.

Has there even been a list compiled like this - not of the name of the company, but the actual CEOs? Given the Mangione effect, I wonder when a name is given to a faceless entity, if in turn, that faceless entity starts doing better by the world considering there is now accountability.

After the death of Brian Thompson, it’s interesting that insurance companies are reversing coverage decisions and even Advocate Health (which was known as one of the most aggressive debt collectors) cancelling thousands of people’s debt.

Maybe you can add to such a list Steve Presley, the CEO of Nestle America which has aggressively lobbied against mandatory paid maternity leave for mothers in the United States simply because they make a ton of money off of formula and benefit from separating mothers from their children as soon as possible.

Anyone else?

The first major winter storm of 2025 is set to hit a large swath of the US in the next 24 hrs. The storm has been officially named Blair Warner after the 1980s sit-com The Facts of Life. Are you affected? I am. I’m scared!

I touched myself when he took the stage last night.

Now, a warning. If you haven’t watched The Golden Palace (the sequel to the Golden Girls), now is the time to do so as it expires on Hulu Friday at midnight. Unfortunately, once it leaves Hulu, the only way to watch it will be through bootleg sources.

And I could be wrong, but I think the bootleg sources are edited and not completely uncut like the streaming version on Hulu.

Also, can we get Empty Nest on some streaming service?

Name famous lesbians you admire.

This thread will be about:

And finally, remove all fear from this thread. We are past that. This is about acceptance, not denial. If you aren’t ready for that, it’s ok, but we cannot have hysteria.

I know people. I have insider info plus open source, though I will not connect to any of my sources, you’ll need to verify what I’m telling you on your own, and you SHOULD do that.

This is the most interesting vampire movie ever made (even if the overall execution has issues). Ironically, that B-movie sequel "A Return to Salem's Lot (1987)" by Larry Cohen comes in second for most thematically interesting vampire movie.

Tom Cruise is good, but miscast. This is a peculiar situation (good but miscast) that sometimes happens. John Malkovich in "Dangerous Liaisons (1988)" is another example.

Brad Pitt was also miscast and not super impressive, but doesn't ruin the movie.

Kirsten Dunst was great for her age.

Probably should have won the Oscar for best art direction.

He stabbed two people this week already! Only in NYC can you be arrested 87 times and still be set free.

A knife-wielding maniac with a history of mental illness and 87 prior arrests is wanted in connection with at least two stabbings in the subway this week, The Post has learned.

Cops searching for Jamar Banks were warned to use “extreme caution” when encountering him because he is believed to be armed with “a large knife,” according to a message sent to police officers and obtained by The Post.

Banks, 52, is known to frequent the No. 2 and No. 5 subway lines, authorities said in the message.

But where can we watch it?

Will distribution be limited?

I hope that Oscar voters go and see it, and nominate Pam.

I was a total square growing up and never smoked pot and still barely drink but when edibles became legal I tried them out and I like them. But being a Nervous Nancy I worry about doing too much. I usually take one two or three times a month and usually not more than 5THC. But recently I found some for sleep that I like a lot and I want to take them more often.

I know everyone is different but I know nothing about this. I don't want to get addicted or dependent or eat through the entire kitchen since they give me the munchies but I am wondering what other people do without trouble and for those who have had trouble what crossed the line for you?

Who is watching? I still have PTSD from 2021.

Saw this in a Grocery Outlet ad. Sounds completely disgusting (unless you're a lesbian, I guess.)

Almost a week after Blake Lively accused her It Ends with Us costar Justin Baldoni of sexual harassment and lauching a retaliatory public smear campaign against her, Baldoni's lawyer says the actor/director plans to fire back with his own countersuit.

When asked by NBC News in an interview that aired Thursday, Jan. 2, if his client plans to sue Lively, attorney Bryan Freedman replied, "Absolutely ... yes."

"We plan to release every single text messages between the two of them," Freedman told NBC News. "We want the truth to be out there. We want the documents to be out there. We want people to make their determination based on receipts."

PEOPLE has exclusively learned that the plaintiffs will include Baldoni, Wayfarer Studios (his production company behind It End with Us), his publicist Jennifer Abel and crisis publicist Melissa Nathan. They plan to name Lively, her publicist Leslie Sloane and Baldoni's former publicist Stephanie Jones in the suit. (Jones sued Baldoni, Wayfarer, Abel and Nathan on Dec. 24.)

Freedman did not provide a timetable in terms of when Baldoni's countersuit will be filed, but a source with knowledge of the lawsuit said it will be filed "soon."

It will be in response to Lively's allegations in her Dec. 20 complaint, in which she claimed that Baldoni's alleged behavior while making It Ends with Us and during its promotion caused her "grief, fear, trauma, and extreme anxiety." Lively's complaint includes allegations that during production he showed her explicit images and videos, asked her about her personal sex life and attempted to add intimate scenes to the film that she had not originally agreed to. She also claimed that Baldoni, alongside his publicist Jennifer Abel and crisis firm TAG PR's Melissa Nathan, attempted to manipulate social media and work alongside the press to "destroy" her reputation.

On Tuesday, Dec. 31, Baldoni sued The New York Times for libel in response to its Dec. 21 article "‘We Can Bury Anyone’: Inside a Hollywood Smear Machine." The suit alleges the newspaper used “‘cherry-picked’ and altered communications stripped of necessary context and deliberately spliced to mislead" in its article regarding Lively's lawsuit and behind-the-scenes trouble on It Ends with Us.

Baldoni, Wayfarer Studios, and It Ends with Us producers Jamey Heath and Steve Sarowitz, along with Jed Wallace, and publicists Nathan and Abel are named as plaintiffs in that lawsuit.

The New York Times defended its article as "meticulously and responsibly reported" in response to Baldoni's suit.

Since the first filing, Lively has received support from various of her famous friends, including A Simple Favor director Paul Feig and her The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants costars America Ferrera, Alexis Bledel and Amber Tamblyn. Baldoni, meanwhile, has been dropped by his talent agency, WME, which still represents Lively. His Man Enough podcast co-host announced she was stepping away from the show on Monday, Dec. 23.

Freedman told PEOPLE exclusively on Dec. 29 that Baldoni's lawsuit against Lively would form "a deliberate pursuit of truth."

“This lawsuit will uncover and expose the false and destructive narrative that was intentionally engineered by a trusted media publication who relied upon nefarious sources and neglected a thorough fact checking process to confirm the validity of these texts,” he said at that time.

Entertainment is ubiquitous—movies, songs, theatre, dance.

All the time, like a tsunami. There are no classic any more because the world can’t focus on one thing anymore.

Remember the time we all had lists of movies we wanted to see. There are just too many nowadays. They keep coming and coming. Hollywood wants your money and it wants it all.

Desperately asking around to see if anyone has any knowledge of the below and is able to help.

If you know anything about some form of black magic/witchcraft that does the following, even if only one or some, please help (+61 435 636 888): - Access and see through the victim’s brain entirely (ie. memories, knowledge, thoughts, languages) - Block the victim from accessing the full capacity of the victim’s own brain - See everything the victim sees (either through the victim’s eyes or what registers in the victim’s brain) - Control and manipulate the victim’s emotions, thoughts, dreams, tears, sweat, what the victim smells, etc - Communicate with the victim - Vibrations - Induce pain in the victim (could feel it anywhere on the body) - Control the victim’s bodily movements (but for this, the victim has stronger control over his/her/their own body still) - Etc

I know it might be hard to believe but countries like Indonesia have attempted to ban black magic/witchcraft, proving that such magic exists. Please, I’m begging for help! If you or anyone around you has any knowledge of the above magic, please message me.

Also, if it’s possible, could you please spread this to the people you know so there will be a higher chance for me to be helped. And if you happen to chance upon it any time down the line, please remember this message. If you hear of anyone who might know about it as well, I would greatly appreciate if you could connect me with that person. Please!

I stumbled across this YouTube video of a gay couple waxing poetic about their “big, brave” move to Mexico. You know the drill: drone shots of cobblestone streets, margaritas at sunset, and the obligatory “We feel so free here!” voiceover.

I get it—Mexico can be gorgeous, the cost of living is better, and everyone suddenly becomes soooo in touch with themselves when they’re not choking on NYC rent. Have any of you also considered relocating south of the border? I'm trying to convince my husband for us to retire to Mexico City, but he's more of a beach person.

Video below. Have at 'em, bitches!

NEW YORK (AP) — Newly released video of a fatal New York prison beating shows correctional officers repeatedly pummeling a handcuffed man, striking him in the chest with a shoe, and lifting him by the neck and dropping him.

Body camera footage of the Dec. 9 assault on Robert Brooks was made public Friday by the state’s attorney general, who is investigating the officers' use of force.

Brooks, 43, was pronounced dead at a hospital the morning after the assault at the Marcy Correctional Facility, a state prison where was incarcerated in Oneida County.

Thirteen correctional officers and a nurse implicated in the attack will face termination, according to New York Gov. Kathy Hochul, who said she was “outraged and horrified” by videos of the “senseless killing.”

The footage made public Friday shows correctional officers repeatedly punching Brooks in the face and groin as he sits handcuffed on a medical examination table.

As one of the officers uses a shoe to strike Brooks in the stomach, another yanks him up by his neck and drops him back on the table. The officers then remove the man’s shirt and pants as he lies motionless and bloodied on his back.

“These videos are shocking and disturbing and I advise all to take appropriate care before choosing to watch them,” New York Attorney General Letitia James said.

Preliminary findings from a medical examination indicate “concern for asphyxia due to compression of the neck as the cause of death, as well as the death being due to actions of another," according to court filings.

The videos do not include audio because the body cameras had not been activated by the officers wearing them. The state’s Department of Corrections and Community Supervision issued a directive in the wake of Brooks’ death requiring that staff use body cameras in every staff interaction with incarcerated people.

James said her office was investigating the use of force that led to Brooks' death, but did not say whether any of the officers would be charged with crimes.

“As viewers can see, Mr. Brooks was fatally, violently beaten by a group of officers whose job was to keep him safe,” Mazur said. "He deserved to live, and everyone else living in Marcy Correctional Facility deserves to know they do not have to live in fear of violence at the hands of prison staff.”

The union for state correctional officers, which viewed footage of the assault before its public release, said in a statement: “What we witnessed is incomprehensible to say the least and is certainly not reflective of the great work that the vast majority of our membership conducts every day.”

“This incident not only endangers our entire membership but undermines the integrity of our profession. We cannot and will not condone this behavior," said the union, the New York State Correctional Officers and Police Benevolent Association.

Brooks had been serving a 12-year prison sentence for first-degree assault since 2017. He had arrived at the Marcy Correctional Facility only hours before the beating, after being transferred from another nearby state prison, officials said.

Marcy is about 200 miles (323 kilometers) northwest of New York City, between the cities of Rome and Utica.

The Correctional Association of New York, a prison oversight group, said it had documented reports of pervasive brutality and racism inside the Marcy Correctional Facility during a monitoring visit two years ago.

Hee hee!

Don’t go to that other thread, that OP has an “agenda”, likely works for Lin Wood or some such shit.

Keep it going here, we stick to “just the facts, m’ame” detective work, and we bring receipts, because our lives *are* that lame. Escapism is better than news, don’t you dare judge us, bitches.

Carry the fuck on. First thread linked below.

What a mess, and Elon is already taking over British politics.

I watch CNN This Morning with Kasie Hunt. Whenever Alex Thompson is on, he seems to look at the other male speakers on the panel, as if he’s undressing them with his eyes! It’s hilarious. He also has a lovely gay voice.

Alexandra Daddario has been cast in the lead role of the “Mayfair Witches” series at AMC, Variety has learned exclusively.

Based on Anne Rice’s “The Lives of the Mayfair Witches” novels, the show was picked up to series at AMC in December 2021. Daddario will star as Rowan, a brilliant doctor who grapples with her fate as the heir to a family of powerful witches.

“Alexandra is a singular talent who has lit up the screen in everything she’s been in and we couldn’t be happier to have her on board leading the cast of a series that will be a centerpiece of an expanding Anne Rice universe on AMC+ and AMC,” said Dan McDermott, president of entertainment and AMC Studios for AMC Networks. “We found our Rowan and can’t wait for her to meet viewers later this year in a series being brilliantly conceived and led by Esta, Michelle and Mark.”

This marks the latest major TV role for Daddario in recent years. She was last seen in the critically-acclaimed first season of HBO’s “The White Lotus.” She has also starred in shows like “Why Women Kill,” “The Girlfriend Experience,” and “True Detective.” On the film side, Daddario is known for her roles in features such as “San Andreas,” “We Have Always Lived in a Castle,” “Lost Transmissions,” and “Can You Keep a Secret?,” the last of which she also executive produced.

Daddario is repped by UTA, Untitled Entertainment, Rogers & Cowan PMK and Jackoway Austen Tyerman.

“Mayfair Witches” has been given an eight-episode first season order, with AMC planning to launch the show on its linear channel and streamer AMC Plus later in 2022.

Esta Spalding and Michelle Ashford serve as writers and executive producers on the series, with Spalding also serving as showrunner. AMC Studios, where Spalding is currently under an overall deal, will produce.

Variety exclusively reported in 2020 that AMC had acquired the rights to Rice’s book series “The Vampire Chronicles” and “The Lives of the Mayfair Witches,” comprising 18 titles in total. Mark Johnson, who also has an overall deal with AMC Studios, is overseeing the development of the books into a streaming and television universe. Anne Rice and her son Christopher serve as executive producers on all series and films developed under the deal, though Anne passed away in December 2021.

“Mayfair Witches” is one of two series based on Rice’s work currently in the works at AMC, with a series version of “Interview with the Vampire” starring Sam Reid and Jacob Anderson currently in production.

Does anyone know the date? Any insiders?

He's gay. He went through all of this trouble to renovate his kitchen (in 2020 or so) and now he's sold the house. Spent something like $6,000 on his coffee maker, which doesn't bother me. I just get the feeling that he's insufferable. What do you guys think?

I have really specific tastes, too, but don't have the money to indulge in all of my preferences.

Capped off by the death of a beloved Democratic President.

And to think, it's only downhill from here.

2025 and beyond is going to be a Trump-Musk-MAGA shit show.

How depressing.

So incredibly perfect!

Two beautiful men, hopefully they kith at some point in the series. 😊

[quote]"Half Man" will follow a long and complicated friendship between two men. “When Niall’s (Bell) estranged ‘brother’ Ruben (Gadd) shows up at his wedding, it leads to an explosion of violence that catapults us back through their lives. Spanning almost forty years from the 1980s to the present day, this ambitious series will cover the highs and lows of the brothers’ relationship, from them meeting as teenagers to their falling out as adults. It will capture the wild energy of a changing city and try to get to the bottom of the difficult question: What does it mean to be a man?”

A Los Angeles man said he recently missed his flight home after getting trapped on his way to the airport in a Waymo that wouldn't stop making circles in a parking lot.

L.A. tech entrepreneur Mike Johns posted a video three weeks ago on LinkedIn of his call to a customer service representative for Waymo to report that the car kept turning in circles and that he was nervous about missing his flight.

"I got a flight to catch. Why is this thing going in a circle? I'm getting dizzy," Johns said.

Ever had an interesting one? A peek into the future of an event that hasn't happened yet? A lot of times we tend to dismiss them as being a "coincidence" and file them away as relatively meaningless. But are they? Or do they provide an insight to the capacity of the human mind beyond the limitations we've been traditionally taught to believe in. I'm fascinated by them.

[quote]Premonitions, which describe the ability to predict a future event, are actually a fairly common human experience. We are wired to want to be able to know what's going to happen, and sometimes our subconscious picks up on cues that something is likely to occur.

I watched it last week on streaming, and I was very affected by it.

Writing, casting, performances, all of it. I thought it was one of the best films I'd seen in a long time.

I'm interested in what other people here thought of it. What worked, what didn't, what stood out.

Any DL fans of this funny site on here? Their videos get thousands of views but they're not well known yet.

They have lots of famous faces placed over other famous faces like Britney Spears as Marilyn Monroe in one video.

Other celebs used are Betty White, Teri Hatcher, Madonna, Brooke Shields, Grace Kelly, Elvis (below) & a bunch of US presidents to name a few.

They redo famous film scenes like Brokeback Mountain & The Matrix that are hilarious. Lots of sexy guys in them too like WWE wrestlers & athletes.

Discuss.

Guy Pearce revealed in a new interview with Vanity Fair that he was blocked from starring in Christopher Nolan movies after 2000’s “Memento” because a Warner Bros. executive just didn’t like his acting. The director’s relationship with the Hollywood studio started right after “Memento” with the 2002 psychological thriller “Insomnia.” Nolan and Warner Bros. then worked together for 18 years through the 2020 release of “Tenet.” The director’s tenure at the studio included blockbusters like “Inception” and “The Dark Knight” trilogy.

“He spoke to me about roles a few times over the years,” Pearce said when asked about his relationship with Nolan after the breakout success of “Memento.” “The first ‘Batman’ and ‘The Prestige.’ But there was an executive at Warner Bros. who quite openly said to my agent, ‘I don’t get Guy Pearce. I’m never going to get Guy Pearce. I’m never going to employ Guy Pearce.’ So, in a way, that’s good to know. I mean, fair enough; there are some actors I don’t get. But it meant I could never work with Chris.”

Pearce said this particular Warner Bros. executive “just didn’t believe in me as an actor,” which blocked him from acting in Nolan movies like “Batman Begins” even though the director had him fly to London to read for the role of Ra’s al Ghul. Nolan cast Liam Neeson in the part.

“They flew me to London to discuss the Liam Neeson role and I think it was decided on my flight that I wasn’t going to be in the movie,” Pearce remembered. “So I get there and Chris is like ‘Hey, you want to see the Batmobile and get dinner?'”

Fortunately for Pearce, Nolan’s tenure at Warner Bros. came to an end after the 2020 release of “Tenet.” The director made his most recent movie, the Oscar winner “Oppenheimer, at Universal Pictures and is re-teaming with that studio for his mysterious new project that is releasing in 2026. Nolan’s new movie is starring Matt Damon, Tom Holland, Zendaya, Charlize Theron, Anne Hathaway and more. Both Damon and Hathaway have appeared in previous Nolan features.

Pearce, meanwhile, is expected to land an Oscar nomination for best supporting actor this season thanks to his acclaimed role in “The Brutalist.”

There is so much constant bad news now. It's relentless.

Bad political news. Bad environmental news. Bad scientific news. Bad societal news. Facts no longer believed. The country split into two distinct, immovable groups separated by a couple of hundred thousand swing voters.

I can't think of anything good about the US right at the moment. Are there any good things happening any more? Anything positive?

As a type do you like or dislike them? Have you dated and/or had sex with any? Was it good or bad?

Was it crappy? How many roommates? Was it in a safe part of town?

What would be your top choices?

She'd call him she or her all the time.

I know she did jokes about a lot of people but she seemed to have particular venom for Seacrest.

The best acting scene in TV or film. Gandolfini v Falco going toe to toe in powerhouse acting! Whitecaps.

Their names are Edie and James. Or how did that poster present Jodie Foster?

What is with some of you freaks?

This kid from Anora, "the Russian Chalamet", is now the male LEAD in Mr. & Mrs. Smith season 2.

Gurl, how? No homegrown talent left, Britain and Canada and Australia mined to death, so we're importing twink actors from Russia now?

Let's do so.

Gigantic tit muscle waiting to be set free!

So this little girl was having her first sleepover at her dad’s house, and he wakes up and finds her killed by his dogs in the living room.

WTF happened to Robert and John? Who are these parents and what are they thinking? Truett, Luxton, Cassian?

Seriously?!

Let's get this party started!

Wow.

The producer she is talking about is Saul Zaentz. 20th Century-Fox wanted her for the lead in The English Patient when it was being developed over there, but Zaentz -not incorrectly- pushed back (unsure if this was for Kristin Scott Thomas or Juliette Binoche’s role. Either way Moore would have been miscast, but I wouldn’t tell her to her face like that. Brutal industry.)

I hope those of you caught in the clutches of Blair have plenty to eat. I made BBQ chicken, roasted rosemary potatoes, corn souffle, and caramel nut brownies for dessert. In hard times a fat whore has to rejoice.

My partner is french. Almost all of our meals are some type of mediterranean or middle-eastern dish, and honestly I love eating at home. Tajines, paellas, curries, all the classics. However, I do not possess the mental constitution to STOP EATING. I have gained so much weight this year, and now most of my good clothes do not fit me anymore. I fear the holiday season was the end for me and my waistline.

My question is simple - how can I overcome the monkey paw of having an excellent cook at home all the time? Sacrifice breakfast maybe?
