Saw the Star [tabloid] in line at the grocery store today - says Eugenie wants divorce after 6m and the Queen is pissed at having spent $2M on the wedding. 🤣

Not sure what happened most recently with Ray Fisher, but Charisma Carpenter publicly supporting him by sharing her Whedon stories.

They'll let it slide if it's the Queen, but heaven forbid Harry & Meghan talk to Gavin Newsom or tell people to vote, because that's politics and BRF don't do politics. Bullshit....

Princess Eugenie had a baby boy. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EtzPGd4WQAIezQs?format=jpg&name=medium

I keep a to-read list in word (I started 20+ yrs ago and it just seems too much effort to change to anything else) Because I read mysteries and romances - lots of series to keep track of. My document is 15 pages, multiple columns, almost no order at all, 8pt font 😜

I don't track the number of books I read in a year, though 60-100 sounds like a lot. Maybe it's not. I have no clue. But I'm glad you're back reading more again - I do blame twitter. Well, Tr*mp, because twitter is much better now..... As for romance novels - I started with the harlequin paperbacks in the early 80s, when I was 10 or 11. Read the entire spinner that summer. (previous summer I'd read all the Agatha Christies!) Then it was into Judith Krantz and Jackie Collins and all those other super trashy and really lovely books of "romance". I went to boarding school and for some reason (we always thought the librarians and the faculty wives) our library had a FANTASTIC supply of those books always in stock!! FYI - this was the school I attended with "Julia Quinn" - she's 3 yrs ahead of me, one of her sisters 1 yr behind me. I found out about her novels in our alumni magazine so I started reading her a couple years after her first books were published, in the late 90s. So for the past 20 yrs, lots of historical romance, and for modern - I like some of the lighthearted supernatural romances. I love romance novels. I used to call them my guilty pleasure and finally said screw that - they're my pleasure and I'm gonna own that 😉 Also - this is why I say EL James is a terrible writer - I read the Anne Rice "Beauty" books in high school - soooooooo much better than 50 shades of blah.

I'm glad she hasn't revised Bridgerton. I hate that. Learn what is wrong & problematic - do better in the future - but don't change the past. But they didn't need to have it in the show, that's for sure! My college friends and I are reading All the President's Men for book club (we sort of alternate fiction and non-fiction - but we're also only on our 3rd book - our 1st book we did over a few months because it was on geopolitics). I just finished a Stephanie Laurens romance, and a couple Molly Harper supernatural romance/mysteries. Getting through summer issues of the magazines I subscribe to - I've been sooooooo behind - for the first few months of quarantine, I just didn't feel like reading. It was an extremely odd thing for me since I've been an avid reader as long as I can remember. I've been ok with everything in quarantine but I guess I wasn't really ok and that's how it manifested....

Captain Von Trapp has died 😞 Christopher Plummer, age 91. I saw him as Macbeth on the stage in New Haven, back in the 80s. Wow. What an actor.

I'm usually SO BAD at recognizing people! And the only place I ever could celeb spot was Deer Valley/Park City in the late 80s/early 90s. Do you know how hard it is to celeb spot in ski clothing??!!! [Blair Underwood is a HOT HOT HOT man who rocked a white one-piece!] And Sundance doesn't really count, though when I went - they still had cheap locals tickets and it was FAR from what is was 2000-2012 or so. I think it's calmed down some again, but not like it was when it was new..... Drusilla as a character was terrifying. I'm glad the actress was sweet!

He's always older than I think he should be. Hot. I loved Angel but like Spike better with Buffy 😉

Evan Rachel Wood named him as her abuser https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2021/02/he-horrifically-abused-me-for-years-evan-rachel-wood-and-other-women-make-allegations-of-abuse-against-marilyn-manson

Cicily Tyson, age 96. 2 days after her memoir was released. 😢

I wasn't up early, but I was certainly up EXCITED. I can't believe I have to work today - but you can be sure that all the Inaugural activities will be on the tv while I'm trying to do some work!!! I'm still wary and a little scared of potential violence today, but am more optimistic than I've been in a very long time. [still trying to figure out what I'll watch - right now I'm watching NBC/Today show interspersed with MSNBC.....]

Love the clothing - I think my fave remains Hunter Biden's infant son in a blue bonnet and tartan jacket. Then Doug Emhoff's daughter's coat shoulders - sequins or beads or something fun & sparkly!!! Favorite part BY FAR - Amanda Gorman's poem. Blown away by her talent and presence. I don't think reading it will ever replicate the feeling of hearing/seeing her perform it.

Yeah I've been following a little on Lainey and it's some weird stuff being reported!!!

Emma Roberts/ Garret Hedlund had baby, Rhodes Robert Hedlund. (I love that name) https://www.laineygossip.com/celebrity-social-media-round-up-january-13-2021/67838

My SATC moment has passed. I don't think I'm interested in them at 50. I felt shallow watching the last couple seasons (and the movies, oof). Just call me Samantha 😉

Another friend of mine calls him Dorito Caligula 😉

I'm addicted to Twitter and that's been all over. Haven't some groups like ProPublica looked at this too? There's a ton of stuff from social media - FB, reddit, parker etc with discussion, plans etc.... NYT and WaPo will catch up eventually....surprised that TMZ posted though - isn't Harvey friends with the Cheeto? Yep. Tr*mp turned me into a conspiracy theorist.

Can't believe they waited until 2021 and we don't have a poll yet https://pagesix.com/2021/01/05/kim-kardashian-kanye-west-getting-a-divorce-shes-done/amp/?__twitter_impression=true

Saw a tweet that kanye and Kim separating....haven't seen in media yet - keeping an eye out!

Holy shit. Weren't they together a while before marriage too? Big shock to me!!

NBC News had a much longer In Memoriam video on the evening news......

Still trying to find the video they just aired on Today Show but here's the website version. Can't believe or remember all these deaths this year. Guess it happens every year..... https://www.today.com/popculture/memoriam-remembering-celebrities-we-lost-2020-t203833
