His name was Marvin, not Michael.

And Louie Anderson has died.

Meatloaf, age 74. Damn. I've been listening to his music a long damn time. As I told my husband this morning upon hearing this - we're at that age where the people we grew up watching/hearing/reading are dying. Guess every generation goes through this but damn it sucks. I would do anything for love, but I won't do that......[guess I know my work soundtrack today.....]

Andre Leon Talley, age 73 https://www.nytimes.com/2022/01/19/style/andre-leon-talley-dead.html?campaign_id=60&emc=edit_na_20220119&instance_id=0&nl=breaking-news&ref=cta&regi_id=103144298&segment_id=80075&user_id=c74ecd7115622f3fb86688eff5b110c8 I adored him - so brilliant, so bitchy. Always entertaining to me - loved the documentaries and his memoirs.

Honestly, I don't think there is a good outcome here for him (as there shouldn't be) and it's easy to see why he tried so hard to prevent the trial. Settlement looks bad, and heaven knows a trial isn't going to look good, no matter what the outcome. Lainey had a funny/good point in her coverage yesterday - they waited until the judge decided a trial could move ahead before taking away his titles & patronages, showing they WOULD have allowed status quo if not pushed to it. And they were pushed into it because can you imagine the joy of the plaintiff's attorneys if they got to say "His Royal Highness Prince Andrew" at the start of ALL of their statements in court?? Ah, the schadenfreude is overwhelming.....

I just fucking CAN'T

Couples that split in 2021 https://www.today.com/popculture/celebrity-breakups-2021-rcna7774

So Cattrall never participated, Garson died, and Noth, well.... So who isn't being held responsible? Garson DIED. They think Cattrall would come back to this clusterfuk? WHY????

NBC Nightly News ran its 2021 In Memoriam segment last night: https://www.nbcnews.com/nightly-news/video/remembering-those-we-lost-in-2021-129865797660

Our computers (well, mostly my husband's) went THROUGH something the week before last and we used 175% of our December data. So we're throttled. Can still surf internet but not enough data to stream 😞 Ah, rural living. I'm conflicted on this movie which means I'll need to watch eventually. I've read glowing and stinging reviews both, from people whose reviews matter to me (ie people with similar taste). In addition to the conflicted professional reviews.

Munn/Mulaney baby apparently born just before Thanksgiving https://www.tmz.com/2021/12/17/olivia-munn-john-mulaney-gives-birth-baby-boy-son/

Tom Hanks/Rita Wilson?? I'd hate it but there have been a couple rumors of HIM cheating. Ugh. Hanks is definitely the first person I think of that everyone loves......

I'm glad; that's a better read on the interview! Lainey's opener today was on this - she's still waiting for full interview or transcript for her comment BUT she does point out the differences in how People/Page Six present the interview, and the way VanityFair did. https://www.laineygossip.com/early-quotes-from-ben-affleck-interview-with-howard-stern-are-gossip-gold/69996

I'm hoping that just came out wrong? I mean, he knew he needed to make changes to get better, and he did, so I respect that. Blaming the ex - I really really hope that's just Page Six being assholes with the clickbait headline/edit. Because they've really seemed to co-parent post-divorce pretty well. Though I think the last time something bad came out, it was about his phoenix tatoo and rising again and Garner's response was a laughing "so does that make me the ashes?" So at least she knows how to respond publicly....
