Margaret Hartmann's discussions

The silence from the crowd made it clear that it was meant as an insult. When I read the spoiler that Kurt would be Prom Queen I assumed that crowning Kurt was just a cutesy way for the writers to have all of the girls lose. There have been some news stories about schools crowning guys Prom Queen to show support, and… Read more

Oh, I thought I was alone in my singleminded focus on Brittany and Santana (okay, and Blaine) and was trying to give it a rest this week. I can't get to everyone in the time and space allotted and sadly they didn't do as much this week. There were some good moments, but I think Santana definitely need a hug at the end… Read more

Yeah, I was joking about Harry, but I see that it wasn't obvious. He'll always be the most shameful royal sibling, regardless of the Wiggly Worms.

Never been in a Sizzler? You guys have clearly never been on court-ordered Wednesday night dinners with your deadbeat dad. Lucky!

I do find the practice annoying in general, but I wasn't bothered by Obama saying it tonight. I can't remember if it was his inauguration or a state of the union, but in some major speech he mentioned believers AND NON-BELIEVERS. It was the first time I had ever heard an American president acknowledge atheists as… Read more

I'm also too cynical (and have read too much gossip) to see January getting left alone. She's also dated Jason Sudeikis and maybe a few other famous dudes in the past year (I can't remember). Whenever there's a lull in summer gossip, expect to see a ZOMG WHO'S THE DADDY story in Star. Tabloids won't take "none of your… Read more

Oops...excellent point! Consider it corrected.

You're absolutely right, and I apologize. I mentioned it because I was going to discuss that online commenters were painting it as an example of "angry black women" on a rampage, like you said, but later I decided that their racist reaction wasn't really relevant.

Yes! I'm always wary of cooking gadgets. They're fun to use, but I hate the clean up. This thing may be good for certain situations, but I can only picture it covered with crusty food bits in the bottom of my sink.

I know it may have been confusing with the "robot maid" reference, but I was actually being sarcastic, not making a declaration about all women who use kitchen gadgets. Lesson learned! Next time I will write, "This is a pot. It stirs itself. It is nice."

Ack, I had not! Too cute!

Well put! I actually did have to watch some Darren Criss YouTube videos after writing this ;)

The title of today's DBAD is not "Margaret Hartmann Defends Dr. Drew's Habit of Diagnosing Stars He Doesn't Treat." I don't agree with what he said, but I thought it was the most interesting gossip story posted today. I actually didn't realize the Dr. Drew ads were still up until after the post was published, and I… Read more

Actually, I also included part of what she wrote about the "new al-Qaida magazine." But you're right. I didn't bother to hunt down her full column for a gossip roundup.

Ha, indeed. I assumed it was London, but it seems I'm wrong. Surprisingly enough, Shutterstock doesn't have any images of the filthy buses I became accustomed to in Boston and NYC.

Yes! I got hooked during the Erica/Dimitri years too! It's sad that such an amusing show devolved into plots involving Erica's aborted fetus being carried to term by another woman and showing up as a doctor at PVH. I didn't watch for YEARS after a scene in which Tad explained the "science" behind that one.

You mean you're not a fan of the majestic donkey? ;)

Agreed! I found the song so catchy and Amber Riley's performance was great. Then I listened to it again and realized half the lyrics were about how bigger girls eat SO MUCH. It was offensive and totally unnecessary.

Other frats and sororities have been known to administer beatings or force pledges to chug alcohol. Since I ingest a decent amount of soy sauce when eating sushi, I can see how the kid assumed it was just silly and gross, not dangerous. Now we all know it is worse than drinking.

Wow, yes. Can't believe I missed that! Not so carefully worded after all.
