Hm, does Liz Hurley know red wine has loads of antiaging antioxidants that are very good for your heart and arteries? I think wodka (and other hard liquor) has far more bloating properties.
And frankly, I enjoy a glass of cab too much to care about a bit of bloat around the stomach area. Life is more fun this way. #lindsaylohandad

@BlondeGoddess: Well, the bloat may also be partly because a diet of six daily raisins, in which Liz has stated she indulges at least semi-frequently, can't be terribly alcohol-absorbent. #lindsaylohandad

Congrats, handsome!

I've been a fan of his since "Swingers," and found that he just kept getting cuter in every role. So... It's probably for the best that he is married now, too. No threat to DandiDude anymore (unlike before. In my occasional daydreams.). And to his "Standoff" co-star? Awwwwww! Happy. #lindsaylohandad

@Ms Meghan: It is a highly uneven show, but there have been some amazing episodes. The later half of season one is full of dark and delightfully twisted moments, particularly the unaired "Epitaph One".

At its core, it is a show about free will, what we can do vs. what we should do, corporate greed, human exploitation, and other gray shades of morality. However, it comes off as "what male sexual fantasy is Eliza Dushku going to fulfill this week" which I don't blame you for not finding appealing.

@Ms Meghan: Wow, try watching the show before you make a dumb generalization without anything to back it up with. It was actually HIGHLY against prostitution. The show was uneven, I'll give you that, but that had nothing to do with it essentially being about human trafficking. It's easy to criticize the show for being a 'what can Dusku dress up as next' but that was hardly the case. The times we actually see her with men, its displayed as perverse, creepy and generally unsettling. The most recent episode that aired addressed a doll who was placed into the dollhouse against her will by a man trying to control her. It was sad, highly fucked up and anything but glamorized. #lindsaylohandad

1. I am a big fan of a lot of the work Joss Whedon does.

2. I find nothing appealing about watching something like Dollhouse, I don't watch Law and Order SVU for the same reason. I have issues watching the sexual exploitation of women, even if it's not real.

3. My post came off much stronger online than it did in my head, so I'm sorry. #lindsaylohandad

@HadwinBabazoid: Good news is that Joss was realistic about it and said a while back he'd be giving us closure in ep 13. I read somewhere they're in the middle of filming ep 11, so they have the chance to give it a proper ending.

Fox will be airing the rest of the season in December (2 shows each Friday) and January, so there's still a chance to enjoy what's left! #lindsaylohandad

Can you imagine having your parents fight over you, publicly, in that manner when you're what, 23 years old?

They are really the worst stage parents of all time. They won't ever let her go. They'll let her basically destroy her career, and perhaps even herself, but they won't take themselves out of the picture, as long as they can get a bit of fame out of it.

Neither of them seem to realize that perhaps they're the reason Lindsay is such a mess. #lindsaylohandad

Jane Lynch’s story reminds me of a time I found myself in a similar embarrassing situation with regard to blind people and their need for spoken commentaries for films. As part of my work, I was once at a House of Lords reception, where I came across a woman who provided Dvds with just such detailed commentaries to enable blind people to follow what was going on. I was very impressed that she had managed to persuade the film star Ewan McGregor to promote the service in her publicity material and even had a picture of him with his arms around her. After general chit-chat, we ended up talking about him in a very circuitous way. Not being very quick on the uptake that day, I failed to realise that she might be related to Ewan as her surname was also McGregor. "I’m his mother." She explained eventually. Thank-God I had only said nice things about her son! #lindsaylohandad

I go up to the curb and peer up and down the street and say "You know, I have no idea. I can't see anything. Sorry about that." The light turns green and I cross.

@Eleanor Ramilly: The first few episodes were rough, it was only in the later episodes when the show became more (non-Echo) character driven that it hit its stride. It seems like each episode keeps getting better, the 1st season finale was really good and the last episode they aired was my absolute favorite. Even my boyfriend liked it quite a bit, and he's a very loud Dollhouse critic. I think it's worth getting through the not-so-great episodes in order to see the really good ones (or you could skip them all together)...but then you'll just have your heart broken by this cancellation.

@BlackLadyBug: I dunno - I'm not blaming this one on Fox. First of all, there are plenty of shows that have managed to find footholds on Friday - like Ghost Whisperer, for instance. With Firefly they kept moving it around on the schedule, and changed the order episodes aired in - that was a truly good show that got screwed over.

But Dollhouse felt kind of mediocre to me, and I felt like Fox tried to give it every chance they possibly could. Its ratings last year were awful, and they still renewed it for a second season, and they've promoted it pretty hard-core. Even a lot of Whedon fans (like myself) had a hard time getting into it. #lindsaylohandad

As a result, it was also pretty disturbing. Overall I'd suggest giving it a go, and being generous because it definitely takes a few episodes to find its feet. #lindsaylohandad
