Wimmin! They use the Internet for their wimmin talk! And on these sites, they even sometimes "expend a lot of serious effort on serious matters"! Like cooking! [David Carr, New York Times]

More on the Furious Scrubs Debate

Man, people are just hating on my fun little hospital comedy! "[J]udging by the season just completed, 'Scrubs' may have been best left out to pasture: Here is a show perpetually pleased with itself and running dry on innovations. J.D. (Zach Braff) and Elliot (Sarah Chalke) continued their non-consummation. Turk (Donald Faison) and Carla (Judy Reyes) continued their hungry sexuality. A baby failed to truly mellow Dr. Cox (John C. McGinley), and a girlfriend failed to sandpaper the rough edges off the Janitor (Neil Flynn). More »

Is Padma Lakshmi Evil?

Last night Padma Lakshmi, in her slow and also slightly mentally-slow way, informed the "Top Chef" contestants that they'd have the night off to enjoy Miami nightlife. Predictable but disproportionate rejoicing followed. First of all, Miami nightlife ranks somewhere between standing in a Jersey Turnpike tollbooth all day and waterboarding as things that are fun to do. Second of all, this is reality T.V. More »

Michiko Kakutani Unabashedly Limns Again

As Galleycat recently Michiko Kakutani has been in a cheery mood of late, overusing "stunning" and "dazzling" on two novels already this month! But other bad habits seem to die considerably harder. From the second sentence of her review of Don DeLillo's Falling Man:
His novels, from "Players" and "White Noise" through "Libra" and "Mao II" and the remarkable "Underworld," not only limned the surreal weirdness of the waning years of the 20th century, but somehow also managed to anticipate the shock and horror of 9/11 and its darkly unspooling aftermath.
Whether or not you agree with Dennis Loy Johnson's famous defense of Michiko's limning, by this point, would it kill her to toss us an "outlined" once in a while? A "sketched?" A "delineated"? We would totally settle for a "portrayed!" —Emily

'WSJ' Reporters: "Please Don't Let That Bad Man Eat Us!"

Seems not everyone at the Journal is as excited to be part of Rupert Murdoch's Evil Empire as the execs who stand to make a bundle if the deal goes through. DealBreaker reports that a plucky bunch of insurgent reporters, hoping to avoid a future in which co-worker Bill O'Reilly calls to compliment them on their hot asses, are starting a campaign to stiffen the spines of the Bancroft family.
