By Anonymed (an anonymous Canadian Doctor) Roseanne Barr recently gave an interview to The Megyn Kelly Show in which she opined that her ABC handlers had hoped she would kill herself after she was fired and expunged from her own television show. A few years ago, the famous comic had rebooted her eponymous 1980s sitcom, Roseanne, to considerable fanfare. At the time of her firing, the show was rated Number 1. One night, apparently compromised by sleeping pills, she tweeted that former Obama senior advisor, Valerie Jarrett, looked like, “Muslim brotherhood & planet of the apes had a baby.

I’ve always been an Eddie Murphy fan, but his family-friendly fare has often held little to no interest to me. I’ve always been more of a “Eddie Murphy: Delirious” or “Eddie Murphy Raw” sorta cat (even though I can fully admit they’re problematic) and have fond memories of watching “Beverly Hills Cop” with my late grandfather at way too young of an age (he lost his fool mind laughing when Axel Foley stuck bananas in the tailpipe of Rosewood and Taggart’s car).

It’s hard to believe that someone with a reputation for being as relentlessly thorny and unkind as Lou Reed could write something as empathetic and tender as “Candy Says.” But he did. And he even had the good sense to have Doug Yule sing it, which added a layer of innocence and believable warmth Lou must have known he couldn’t quite sell. This is all my way of saying, I guess, that I don’t quite believe the nasty image most of us have of what Lou Reed was really like.

(This issue is very image/GIF-heavy! I’m sorry if it’s a lot for your email client… but obviously not sorry enough to take out the visuals. You can read it on the web if you prefer!) I’m not writing about a k drama today. Or am I? If I am, it’s the most condensed makjang I’ve ever seen. I don’t know if they have writers on this show; if they do, the writers are both not doing much and not paid enough.

Share Much of the history of Los Angeles is in its canyons. There are secrets there, hidden by time and inaccessibility. Our canyon neighborhoods share an affinity for narrow streets, rendering them inhospitable to cars in a town built around driving. Perhaps only practicality created these narrow streets. Moving dirt and leveling mountains is hard. And expensive. The change in terrain created a clear delineation between the city and the country.

Swans as a species are highly protective of their nests. They will viciously attack anything that they perceive as a threat, including humans. While there are many breeds of swans, the one under discussion here is the “swans” of Manhattan, a largely extinct breed of stylish, moneyed “ladies who lunch” that thrived in the mid 20th century. These swans drive “Feud; Season 2: Capote vs the Swans.” The term was invented by writer Truman Capote who was taken under their wing in the mid 1950s.

I remember "Carbon Copy" as one of the first "grownup" movies I was allowed to see in the theaters. It's a film that's more notable for its place in cinematic history than the actual merits of the flick itself, though those are not inconsiderable. Topping the list is the film debut of Denzel Washington. If you were to draw up a list of the greatest film actors of the past 30 years, here would be mine (in no order): Meryl Streep, Morgan Freeman, Tom Hanks, Anthony Hopkins, Denzel Washington.

A second-round pick by the Dallas Cowboys in the 2010 NFL Draft, linebacker Sean Lee has announced his retirement after 11 NFL seasons. Lee’s career is marked by a bit of “what might have been”. He missed a total of 58 games, including a missed season in 2014 due to a torn ACL. He was a two-time Pro Bowler and a one-time All Pro, with four 100-plus tackle seasons as the leader of the Cowboys’ defense.
