Message From Paris, to America: "You suck, you dumb, declasse morons. Also, stop ruining nightlife. Also, Jerry Lewis for President."
You had me at "you suck." Jerry Lewis for President....not so much. #michaellohan
OK, I've got to get on meds or something. When your fun list of "Secret Shames" includes Michael Lohan, you've definitely crossed a line... #michaellohan
Do you think Michael Lohan and Joe Jackson are in some sort of club that encourages this behavior? Do they get points? Are there rewards? When they're done being the worst fathers in the history of life, are there 72 virgins at the end? Please--I really need something to explain their continued actions and existence. #michaellohan
Would just like to point out that Forest Whitaker is a Scientologist. Thankfully, this just seems to be a sop to fundraisers and not anything that will accomplish much on a policy level. #annawintour
@Jackson West: These people are the very definition of bourgeois mediocrity. Sure, they're all technically proficient, but they're unremarkable figures who fall into two categories: either extremely conventional (Edward Norton, Sarah Jessica Parker, Ma Yoyo, Kerry Washington, Anna Wintour) or outstanding flakes (Alfre Woodward, Forest Whitaker, Teresa Heinz Kerry). What have they given us that will truly last? Oh, who cares anyway? --I just don't like people calling them "cultural figures." Maybe "society luminaries" would be a better term.
@i'm a bottle: You know what's odd? That among the fresh batch of 26 appointees to the Committee on the Arts and Humanities there is not ONE artist-artist. You know, a painter. A sculptor. An art photographer. An installation artist. A video artist. No one whose work would be displayed in galleries or museums.
I don't mind Anna Wintour; she's nec pluribus impar in her field and a staunch supporter of young American fashion designers who think outside the box. She makes sense. Yo-Yo Ma doesn't bother me either. Ed Norton I sorta get--he just produced a doc on Obama's campaign, so this is his reward. But Bryan Lourd, Kerry Washington and Sarah Jessica Parker befuddle me. These are not people who trade in, or represent, the "artistic" or "humanistic" side of filmmaking. These people are the reason why David Lynch, arguably a true American original and an artist of the utmost order, can't get funding in the U.S. for his films. I suppose they'll sing him official hosannas when he's dead..
@snugbug: You let Yo-Yo Ma off too easily. Look at his dicography since 1996. It's purely commercial tripe. There's nothing significant on it at all after that point. Compare the music he chooses to perform with the music that Rostropovich performed. Night and day there. #annawintour
I booked her for a show I worked on back when she was campaigning against Arnold in California a few years back and let me tell you, she is incredible looking.
Great body, very at ease with herself, and appropriately made up. I never cared about her until I met her, but when I did she made a great impression and was truly beautiful in person.
She is also warm, funny and smells good (no lie). If she has some wrinkles and doesn't look like a twenty year old, that's because she's *not* twenty.
I took a look at the Wintour photos, and hey, she looks great too! More power to these women for aging naturally and gracefully.
What is the problem here? If we published a high res photo of yours or anyone's skin, would that "ruin my lunch" too? Kind of weird that you think it's an insult to publish a pic that shows a woman as she really looks. Isn't the constant airbrushing more of an insult?
She looks like a "woman of a certain age." She hasn't tried to stop anyone from publishing these photos of herself, un-retouched. And don't we all want to know what Wintour and Lohan really look like????
Isn't that a given???
And couldn't most of us care less what Ariana looks like?
She's not making her living off a business that emphasizes good looks. #ariannahuffington
I wandered into the kitchen and considered for, like, the tenth time that day, how hard it would be to, like, pee into a funnel or something and then into, like, my boss's coffee. He was, like, such a fucking cretin.
"Hey!" he, like, yelled from the office. "How long does it take you to get me a cup of coffee, you dozy posh cow? You're not trying to find a goddamn funnel again, are you?"
I settled for opening a cupboard door and, like, writing "Ricky Van Veen has a really small peen" in the dust with my, like, finger.
