In an interview, Essman stated that people often approach her on the street and ask her to cuss them out, Susie Greene-style. And she quite often obliges.

I love Susie Greene as a character in a (slightly) fictionalized TV show. I love that she is blunter than just about anyone in putting Larry in his place and she'll just go from 0 to 60 mph so her dialogue is like, "Hey Larry, whatcha doin'?...Oh yeah, fuck you, Larry!"

But Susie Greene would be one scary-ass person to be around in real life. You could only trail in her wake, never lead. Susie Essman, however, rocks.

I love Susie Essman. She's like my loud, brash, unselfconscious, shameless shadow self.

I've known some people like that. They were actually pretty unpleasant to be around

@colormeroutine: Also, reality TV is full of people like this, and they aren't fun to watch.

Ellen Page will produce and write an HBO comedy called Stitch N' Bitch with Alia Shawkat and Sean Tillman. "The show follows two painfully cool hipster girls as they relocate from Brooklyn's Williamsburg neighborhood to Los Angeles' Silver Lake enclave in hopes of becoming artists — of any kind."

OMFG BEST THING EVER

@FizzyGood: Hmmm. I am such a nerd that the first thing I thought of was the knitting book series of the same name, whether there would be a tie-in, and whether there was copyright infringement. Sigh.

I just figured R. Kelly got to the letter P and became fixated.

@HelloTitty: Mercy.

edited to add: adopted this summer.

Also added: I don't care for his movies, but damn do I love Guy Ritchie. A man who seems totally unthreatened by his ex-wife's success? Who speaks so well of her in the press, even though he's been replaced with a pretty boy half his age? All class with this man.

It's almost like he respects the mother of his children, JON GOSSELIN.

Cannot wait for Ellen Page's show -- she and Alia were so great as besties in WHIP IT. Also, the two coolest young women in tv & film right now doing a show together -- can the awesome be contained by the four walls of my TV screen? Can't wait to find out!

Hm, I think the only thing that could sound less appealing than "painfully cool hipster girls" is maybe "socialite teen vampire". So, Page and Shawkat: 1.

An HBO show about upper middle class white people? I AM SHOCKED.

I don't get the Carla Bruni love so many commenters on this site have. She just comes across as so shallow, and her quote above just reinforces that for me.

@lovecake: I'm with you. Writing on her own website about how her looks and clothers are compared to those of other First Ladies? Recounting how Vanity Fair calls her the New Jackie O? How she tops best-dressed lists around the world? Sounds like Carla still needs to be the prettiest girl in the room.

@heykoukla: Weird, I read that completely differently, like she was fed up with being compared to other first ladies based on looks alone. Which is a stance I totally support.

@piccola: If you don't want to be judged on your looks or the clothes you wear, you don't get the writer on your site (the entries are not written by Carla Bruni) to write about how you top best-dressed lists, or that you wear Louboutin shoes and Alaia dresses, or how you dressed in white to greet Michelle Obama. You don't write about wearing "a red sheath dress on the roof of the Elysee Palace" or "riding boots and jodhpurs in front of the Elysee Palace tapestries" for a Vanity Fair photo spread. That whole section, which is in a sort of diary form, is just silly and makes her seem shallow, IMHO.

@heykoukla: Full disclosure: I didn't check out her site. I was going on the quote in the post alone. But I'll play devil's advocate: as a former model, she probably genuinely loves fashion. That doesn't mean the beauty pageant-like comparisons are justified. Yes, there are several attractive, stylish first ladies; can we please talk about their other traits once in a while?
