Shannen Doherty, age 53 😪 It's been a rough summer so far.

Dr. Ruth has died, age 96. She was a role model & icon to me. (my nickname in high school was Dr Ruth 😉

Refusing to tip staff, esp when an invited guest and it's expected, is so horribly tacky. Ick. I was (am?) prepared to be supportive of the way Victoria has built her career - she works her ass off. Literally (sorry 😉) But man, you have to tip service industry workers.

As someone who get season tix to the touring Broadway shows at the local(ish) performing arts center, I am here to say that TOO MANY things are given the musical treatment these days, and 90% of them aren't worth it. I have NO INTEREST in seeing Richard Simmons and/or his story on stage.

I think they should just long term date and spend whatever family time together and work time apart. He clearly needs space to do his work, and she loves/needs to be the center of attention. I think they love each other but are fundamentally ill matched to spend all their time together. But that doesn't mean they couldn't have a long term wonderful relationship that might look different from others. I just don't think JLo especially is willing to do something like that, that might mean something like (a favorite line from a song) "live close by, and visit often".

Meh. Funeral plans for monarchs are CONSTANTLY updated. Just like news agencies keep obits of famous people updated too.

Wait- is the casting couch supposed to be Wintour as well as the first one, the magazine? I have a hard time reconciling those details with the way Anna works...

I'm not sure I could make it through. Last year, I read Jennette McCurdy's I'm Glad My Mom Died and wow, barely made it through that (which is both more broad AND more narrow than the Quiet on the Set documentary, of course, though linked). I've also heard it's extremely well done, so I'll probably try sometime.

Kate releases a video (FINALLY) announcing she has cancer: I wish her all the best for a quick recovery. But oh my how KP has screwed this up over the past few weeks.

Yep, at this point (65 days since she was seen?) there is SOMETHING going on - either she refuses or she absolutely cannot be seen. I don't know what I believe right now. But I don't believe she had a normal surgery with recovery - I think there's a mental health component, a legal component (did Will hurt her? Or is she negotiating her divorce?) etc....

Fuck cancer. But also, imagine Kris Kristofferson waiting to spit on his grave. (if you don't know, look up what Kristofferson had to say about good ole Toby - never fails to make me laugh). And, well, I'm a Chicks fan, so I'm not losing sleep tonight.

The gossip on twitter (and celeb*tchy) is getting unhinged. Intimate partner violence, coma, possibly died yesterday at Sandringham (many british media wore black and had been crying - but not about Charles/cancer, about Kate dying?) Harry coming to UK not about Charles/cancer but about being regent for George as William won't take throne if/when Charles dies. I mean, I love to read a good conspiracy theory too, but yikes.

Lots on celeb*tchy seem to think bowel resection

And today, Piers Morgan announced (on air?) that it was Charles AND Kate....

I think Travolta and Kelly had a MUCH better relationship than Will & Jada, even if John is gay or bi. They seemed to LOVE each other, even if I didn't see them as having a great sex life. Not everyone needs or wants that, who knows. I'm feeling more ok about the Travolta marriage. But then, I always thought they loved each other. I have never had the same loving feeling about Jada & Will. I think their relationship has always been more transactional.
