When I went to see Blithe Spirit, Rupert Everett was randomly absent and replaced by an understudy. I see now he must have had an emergency botoxing to get to.

@MsMuffinMcGuffin: Was it during the last week? I thought Jayne Atkinson was just maaarvelous. Angie and Christine were good but I was expecting them to be good.

Also, the understudy was fabulous, so I didn't feel like I'd missed out on much sans Rupert.

How can anyone not worship Kathy Griffin is one of the enduring mysteries of life for me. If she ever starts her own religious cult, I'm packing my 2-tone Nike dunks and following her into the desert.

I will say he's right about Jackson never being able to do 50 shows. Other than that, I'm too distracted by his Fire Marshall Bill neck to read the rest.

Three of these people (2,3,4) make a living by speaking provocatively. Everett's selling a book, I think, and who cares what Megan Fox says?

You left out my favorite untamed mouth, Carrie Fisher, who went on the TODAY show and talked about how much she enjoyed taking LSD, and on THE VIEW to talk about receiving a vibrator for X-mas from her mother's boyfriend!

Bill Maher was disagreeing with a woman who called suicide bombers "cowards". He was right. There's all kinds of things to loathe suicide bombers for but cowardice isn't one of them. The woman wasn't able to come up with any logical basis for the remark either once challenged. Unfortunately for Bill the atmosphere is the US at the time was really McCarthyist and he was attacked and fired for making a comment that was plain commonsense on a show named "Politically Incorrect".

Here's me pretending to be that lady on the Bill Maher panel:

"So the jihadi brigade valiantly opts out of ever having to do dishes, take out the trash, care for ailing relatives, raise kids, pay taxes, battle armies of bureaucrats to ever get any paperwork done, ever having to WORK again to put food on the table..

"Yeah, you're right, Bill! Choosing suicide over life is always the braver choice. Especially when you deny a few thousands other innocent people's right to live while at it."

"Don't mean to be glib about suicide in general or get into a woolly existentialist argument here, but how is braving three seconds max of ultimate terror a more courageous act than wrangling with The Beast of Life for 70+ years?"

(And during the commercial break, I'd lean in and whisper to Maher: "Don't worry, I know you'd sell both Jesus and your mom for an extra Nielsen ratings point!")

@snugbug: Point is, we pick and choose to whom we apply a term like "brave." If they give their lives in a cause we respect, they are brave and if they give it in a cause we abhor they are cowards. In the end, the saying "Every man has his reasons" applies. Works for women, too, of course.

@The Curse of Millhaven:

Yes. It's like the famous scene in The Battle of Algiers in which a French commando asks an Algerian terrorist how they can justify using women who put bombs in their baskets. The freedom fighter --- that's how he sees himself -- informs the French invader that if they had planes and bombs like the French they'd use them instead.

I think the 9/11 bombers were despicable in many ways, but I don't think they were cowards.

All of us are born with a set of instinctive fears - of falling, of the dark, of lobsters, of falling on lobsters in the dark, or speaking and having it show up in print or on TV and of the words "Some Assembly Required".

Really, Megan? Women in Hollywood are objects? Excuse me while I pay another $10 to see your ass on the back of a motorcycle, while you have nothing discernible to say for the entirety of a movie about jive-talking robots and I don't know, the consummate wet-dreams of a million boys who objectify you daily and nightly. Whatever. STFU, forever, or at least until the crow's feet happen. Silly bird.

I didn't want you to be Wonder Woman anyway. Bring on Rosario Dawson!

@Pope John Peeps II: Not sure where to begin here, Peeps. I was talking less about her physical form, than the depth she could bring to the role, albeit a superhero movie not known for such, but I also happen to think she's pretty hot. See Sin City.

Also, the original Wonder Woman Lynda Carter, is in fact Latina. Her real name? Linda Jean Córdova Carter. A world of wonder there, Peepsie. Did I just blow your mind?!

@PICKLES_IN_MY_TUNA: Yeah, that realization usually happens when they can no longer get those young starlet roles anymore. Case and Point: Cameron Diaz. Apparently that Vegas movie was her ingenue swan song, as well it should be. Yikes.

@scroll_lock: It's been pretty hit and miss with her. Saw her on something recently and she looked amazing, but yah, at her age even poor lighting can showcase some of the rough stuff.

Everett added: ‘We’re living in very strange times. We have Michael Jackson, a black man who has gone white, and we have President Barack Obama, who is a half white man gone black. It’s absolutely fascinating to watch

You should probably shut up now, Rupert.
