Bummer. The Young Ones was one of my favorite shows growing up. Husband and I still quote that show all the time.

Thanks for working on it. FWIW, it's working fine for me now and has been for about three weeks. But prior to that I basically couldn't get on for at least a month. I COULD, but it was super super slow. When I posted about it then, not many people seemed to be bothered by it. Now I'm fine but it sounds like others are not. I just thought I'd mention that in case something about the sporadic nature of it all is relevant to the fix.

I love it, and I hope he sees it. His head will explode. It's as if they truly believe that the more money they spend, the better they are. It's pretty gross, actually.

I made my household promise to keep our house a Kimye wedding free zone. Have we all done that, and that's why it is so quiet here?

I know there was a BI that we all thought was Brit that fit this article perfectly, but I can't find it. http://www.hollyscoop.com/britney-spears/m...ears-album.html Meet the Woman Who Supposedly Recorded the Whole Britney Spears Album 130 2 Share31 May 08, 2014 by: Madison Vanderberg Image by: FilmMagic / Rodrigo Vaz So, Britney Spears probably/maybe/most likely didn’t sing all that much on her latest album, Britney Jean. Yep, one of Britney Spears’ longtime backup singers, Myah Marie, who sounds EXACTLY like Britney, has been accused (revealed?) to be the one doing most/all of the singing on Britney Jean. Blogspot Recently, some stems (the different audio sources in a song, like the main vocals, backing vocals, etc.) from Britney’s song “Passenger” were leaked online by some of the song’s producers, and many of those “stems” for so-called Britney songs were labeled “Myah Marie.” If you listened to those “Myah Marie” stems, they sure sound a lot like Britney’s voice on the final song. One insider even said, “You can hear that some parts sound more of somebody impersonating her than her actual voice. Some main vocals are drowned to the point where the background singer takes the lead place.” All we’re saying is…why would a clip from a Britney Spears song, which sounds a lot like Britney, be sent to the producers but labeled as Myah Marie? Listen to this version of “Hold It Against Me.” It’s JUST Myah Marie singing the background vocals. Doesn’t Myah’s background vocals sound exactly like the actual song? It makes us wonder what part of the final track even features Britney’s actual voice? Now listen to Myah’s solo song, “Animal.” This is ALL Myah, but it sounds like a Britney song! Below is a demo for the song "Black Widow," which Myah recorded for Britney. They might as well have just released it as is—it sounds just like Brit. When the Britney Jean album dropped, Myah’s dad Murray Langston told Star magazine, “My daughter sings for Britney Spears. The truth is, Myah can sound just like her. Maybe Britney doesn’t know whose voice is on her album. Maybe she just comes in, lays down the track, leaves, and doesn’t care." Whether she was pressured by the label to do so, or was speaking truthfully, Myah swiftly denied being the voice on Britney Jean. “I am so grateful for the opportunity to provide background vocals for Britney Spears on a small number of her most recent works, I most certainly cannot take credit for her tremendous talent as a singer,” Myah released in a statement, “She is a veritable ‘living legend’ with a longstanding reputation for excellence in all aspects of her artistry.” Something about that overly gushy statement just seems phony. Considering how much Britney Spears is worth, we imagine Myah Marie gets paid a lot to keep her mouth shut and just keep singing like Britney. But things really started to heat up when Myah recorded a parody of Britney’s song “Piece of Me,” but called it “Don’t Take My Kids from Me.” Some of the lyrics include: “I was miss preteen wet dream When I was 17 I lip sang and Pretended to sing Got breast implants And a wedding ring Then I flashed all my privates they put pictures in the magazines Don’t take the kids from me, Don’t take the kids from me” Of course, Myah is mocking Britney’s now infamous custody battle with ex Kevin Federline when she locked herself in her bathroom and was immediately placed on a 5150 involuntary psychiatric hold. This parody song was uploaded to Youtube in 2011. Apparently Britney’s people never saw it, because they kept bringing Myah back to sing on the album. The song was recently unearthed online, and naturally, Britney fans are outraged. So what do you think? The facts are: Myah sounds exactly like Britney, she mocked her in a parody song, she is credited as a backing vocalist yet her vocals for “Passenger” sound an awful lot like the final product, and her dad even said she’s the one singing on the Britney Jean album.

Solange deleted all of hers and then Beyoncé uploaded a bunch of photos of the two of them to her own feed yesterday, I think it was. I've been off the forum because it was super difficult for me to access it over the last few weeks. I'd click the link and it would just never load.I assumed everyone was having the problem.

So, are we collectively not buying the approximately 90 day "antibiotic allergy" that she knows this far ahead is approximately a 90 day recovery?

If your faith in humanity is still hanging in there, here's another blow of the hammer... The New York Post's Page Six reports Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's buzzed-about April 2014 Vogue issue is slated to sell between 300,000 and 400,000 copies. It may even surpass sales of 2013 issues featuring Beyonce and Obama that sold about 355,000 and 300,000 copies, respectively.

Sorry. Accidental double post.

Mickey Rooney Dead at 93 about a minute ago BY TMZ STAFF EXCLUSIVE Mickey Rooney, who spent nearly his entire life in the show business, died today. He was 93. Story developing ... Read more: http://www.tmz.com/2014/04/06/mickey-roone.../#ixzz2yAH78j85

Can that be healthy? Even if you are grossly overweight, is it healthy to lose that fast? I have no idea, but it just seems crazy!

I bought the Black Eyed Peas Just Dance because it was on clearance at Target for like $2.95. It is really exhausting!

There was a time when it seemed like we would never get rid of Paris Hilton. I know she's still out there, but I very very rarely see her now. I have high hopes this will happen to these two losers soon as well. Hopefully right after he gets treatment for his severe narcissism.

I lost 45 last year, way overdue since my youngest is 10! I gained back 25 when my walking buddy had a kidney transplant and I quit walking. I was walking three times a week and using myfitnesspal.com and the app. I just restarted about two weeks ago and I've lost four pounds again.

I have to admit, I'm really curious to know who the other names are on the list! And yes, the list as it is does surprise me. There are enough guys that I had no idea would be anywhere near LL that showed up on the list. The other surprise is, considering how many years this list probably spans, the number is much lower that I imagined for her. In the magazines, she appears to go from guy to guy pretty fast.

Thanks, Hoya. I put it on my Luzme watch list. FWIW, anyone with a kindle or nook should sign up for Luzme. You put in your books wanted list and it tracks the biggest online book stores and alerts you when it goes on sale. Because I read so much, I try to only buy books when they get below $2 and eventually almost very book goes on some sort of one day special.

This picture of Melanie Griffith is shockingly bad. http://www.vanityfair.com/vf-hollywood/mel...-shades-of-grey

As usual, surprising to no one who is a regular reader here. But good for her. It sounds like she's happy, and that's good.

From the last day or two... (CNN) -- Sid Caesar, whose clever, anarchic comedy on such programs as "Your Show of Shows" and "Caesar's Hour" helped define the 1950s "Golden Age of Television," has died. He was 91. -----/// Ralph Waite, who was beloved to TV viewers as the ultimate father figure, John Walton, on The Waltons, has died. He passed away at midday on Thursday at his home in South Palm Desert, Steve Gordon, the accountant for the Waite family, told The Hollywood Reporter.

Stay classy, Bieber family!

Of course. Hollywood "I f-ed up" textbook move number 1, rehab. Dean McDermott now admits he has some big personal problems ... so he's checked himself into rehab. A remorseful McDermott seems to be addressing reports that he cheated on Tori Spelling, saying, "I am truly sorry for the mistakes I have made and for the pain I've caused my family." Dean kind of mysteriously adds, he's dealing with "some health and personal issues." Dean says he's getting help ... so he can become the husband and father his family deserves.

Exhibit A just on tmz. What kid would have a chance? Justin Bieber's father helped facilitate the insanely stupid moves of his son that landed him in jail ... TMZ has learned. Sources familiar with the situation tell us ... 38-year-old Jeremy Bieber was not only present when Justin was arrested early Thursday morning ... he was one of the people who helped block off the residential street so his son could drag race. It's even worse ... Jeremy was in SET nightclub just before the arrest with Justin and was around him all day, when the self-confessed little pothead was smoking weed. As we reported ... Justin admitted that he was under the influence of Rx drugs, alcohol and weed at the time of his arrest ... and Justin's dad was right there in the mix. Unbelievable.

I don't want to excuse his douchey-ness, but sometimes when you listen to what he's saying, I think he really has never been told that something is off limits. He has no concept of what's ok and what is not. That's a combination of bad parenting, bad handling, and just putting kids in situations that they can't deal with at such a young age. Part of me feels so sorry for kids like him and like Drew Barrymore who just had no boundaries. I'm so happy that she is doing well. As much as I dislike Bieber and mock him relentlessly, I do hope that at some point he gets some good advice and turns into a functional person. The odds are not in his favor. As I was typing this, Access Hollywood just "spoke to an insider" who says Scooter Braun and his team have given Justin and ultimatum! get treatment or we are done with you. Or, I cynically say, do the whole rehab thing for appearances, or we are out.

Please can we have Kim and Kanye? I just want to vote for them so much!

Way to be the ultimate cliche, Johnny. I used to like him until he turned into such a self-important fuckwad.
