You know, I love this Whiney Paltrow story. It makes me happy that someone is making her jealous and envious. She had her turn as America's "It" Girl.

I don't have much of a problem with ScarJo at all. And this little tiff with Ms. Paltrow is helping me to forgive her Tom Waits cover album, which was, in fact, hellishly bad.

I think its great that Shia feels secure enough to be that open about his own shortcomings. But enough already!

I have to say, Marilyn Chambers was a very charismatic woman, and did a great job in David Cronenberg's Rabid - which I highly recommend for classic 70's horror.

Sherri, huh? She's playing a paralegal. Oh, that's right, Sherri, paralegals came before lawyers, just like Christians came before Jews. Poor thing.

I don't know what kind of crack Cynthia Nixon is smoking about SATC ending in a lighthearted place. FYI here's what happened:

1. Miranda's husband cheated on her. She moved out then got back with him because he felt bad. Wow. I feel so empowered.

2. Mr Big ditched Carrie on her wedding day. Then instead of trying to talk to her he sent her emails that were re-written copies of famous people's love letters. The romance nearly killed me.

3. Samantha got so depressed being with Smith that she left him to be alone, and didn't seem overly thrilled about it. What a future to look forward to.

4. Charlotte had a baby. That was actually quite nice.

Honestly at the end of the film (and for some awful reason I watched it twice) I was so horrifically depressed that I wanted to end it all. It made me feel like life wasn't worth living beyond 30. That everything was heartbreak and letdowns. Maybe I just read too much into it? Even so I could not describe this as 'lighthearted'. No.

You know what? Technically, I'm into hairy hippies myself ("technically," because the man I married is absolutely not one. Oh life, when will you stop surprising me?) -

but if A-Rod wanted to make out with me? I would make an exception.

Lee Daniels. I have no idea what this quote means. It's not just a small subset of black people who are not from the ghetto. There are a lot of black people who were never brought up in the ghetto. But way to go in adding weight to that stereotype.

@Ulookinatmyjunk: Diary of a Mad Black Blogger: I was also thinking: But didn't it recently "come out" that she's African American? Like, sometime in the last three years or so, she kind of "admitted" it, or something? I remember there was alllll kinds of nasty racist/misogynistic bullshit that arose as a result (on the internet. Natch!).

@Kristinkles: Also.

@ellaesther: Nope, she was always black. In fact, when she first came out, there were (some) black people complaining that she was promoted as a black artist, even though she was light skinned and her father was veneuelan and she hadn't grown up with him, and therefore wasn't "really black." Some white people seemed to just assume she was white if they didn't know much about her, because she's very light skinned, but she has always identified as black or mixed race. (I remember shattering a white third grade classmates world when I was Mariah Carey for Halloween one year, and the classmate insisted that I couldn't be Mariah Carey because Mariah wasn't black, and also neither was my mother because black people couldn't be that light skinned. Then I brought in a magazine article about her and proved her wrong and she cried.)

@samethingwedoeverynightpinky: OMG, seriously, she cried?? I'll give her a pass because it was the 3rd grade, but I had no idea people thought Mariah was white. Even way back when she first came out and I was but a wee tween I assumed she was biracial.

@samethingwedoeverynightpinky: Oh man! Race is just so weird. I mean, ok, that's not a terribly incisive statement, but well, it is. Even the statement "she was always black" just sounds so odd! We're all always what we are. So why was there such a big deal about her race a couple-three years ago?

(She cried? Really? That seems a little over the top, don't you think? Even for a third grader!)

@ellaesther: I think because recently she decided that because her father was a black venezuelan, she was also technically Latina, and was going to explore that side of her heritage more? And there was some debate over whether Latina was a racial category that she by definition fit into, or a cultural category that she didn't really belong to, and there were some accusations that she was just trying to capitalize on the supposed popularity of Latin artists and/or that by being Latina she was trying to be "less black." I think it was around the time that there was all that media hysteria about Latinos overtaking black people as the nation's largest minority group.

Or, more concisely, race is weird.

@samethingwedoeverynightpinky: My (white, obviously) kids go to a really diverse school, one that actively tries to embrace and celebrate that diversity, and sometimes I can just see their little brains trying to go "Ok, she's Black, and she's really dark. And she's Black, but when we hold hands, our hands are the same color. And he's Chinese, and his parents came from China. And she's Chinese, but her parents are white and brought her home from China. And she's Black, but her parents are white. And he's Black, but he's also Japanese. Uh...."

I'm hoping that the fact of the weirdness being out there right on the surface of things, rather than being buried in assumptions, will help their generation work a few things out!

Guess I'm alone here, but I kind of love Shia for uttering the words "I'm not that well-endowed" in a public forum. To me it almost makes up for that...questionable remark he made a while back about how hot his mother is.

Okay, Sherri Shepherd is possibly the best actress of our times, because she makes me love her on "30 Rock" even though I can't stand her on "The View." I didn't even realize it was her on "30 Rock" until recently, how weird is that?

To quote Jon Stewart (and that comic I don't like so I've apparently blocked his name): "Acting!" (finger pointed to the heavens)
