And girlcrush heaven ensues. "Regina Spektor is as beautiful as her music. She said my books helped her learn English. How cool!" Blume tweeted from the White House's reception for Jewish Heritage Month, where Spektor performed. [Twitter] More »

There have been many times during this campaign when we felt like we were taking crazy pills; like spinmeisters were straight out lying and their words were being taken at face value. Thank Jebus we have Rachel Maddow: Maddow is incredulous and furious at Sarah Palin, who has been denying that the Branchflower report said she abused power and violated ethics. Palin said on a radio show earlier this week, "I'm very pleased to be cleared of…any hint of any kind of unethical activity there." Hearing this, Rachel went off. For Palin, Rachel says, "Day is night, up is down." This is not a question of whether or not Palin is lying, Maddow continues, "this is a person who is looking straight into a camera and lying to you. Enthusiastically and repeatedly." Clip above.

If "Jezebel" were a person, she very well might be up and coming screenwriter Diablo Cody, an ex-stripper and phone sex operator who pens hilarious movies with serious Oscar buzz, dresses like Courtney Love did about halfway through her glam makeover (she wears satin jumpers but also combat boots), writes a blog called the Pussy Ranch, and has made it her mission to create films with multifaceted female leads. Diablo's heroines are not just reacting to the choices of male characters — these women are actually choosing their own destinies. More »
