This is an experience related from 1983.  If it was evidence that Hollywood hasn't evolved yet then I would assume she'd have given examples from somewhere in the thirty eight years since she filmed it.   

I'm not saying that it wasn't wrong or that Hollywood has evolved, really.  I just don't see how this in particular is further evidence that Hollywood still hasn't evolved.

I think you are right. Sorry to get angry at this.

I didn't know who she was, don't watch inaugurations, but as soon as I read "looked suspicious" I knew it was some racist asshole thinking no black woman could afford to live in whatever neighborhood it was. I hate people sometimes. I really, really do.

It's a shame you missed it because it's the content of the poem that makes the situation so ironic and even more egregious.  I tried to find a 'non controversial' source of the poem (i.e. not a news source) and this is the best I could do.

Every time I think I'm not priviledged I remember that I can walk down a street without being suspected of something, or worse, shot by some fool who thinks they have the right to "protect their land", that if I'm pulled over, I don't have to be afraid of making a sudden move that will get me killed, that if I'm browsing in a store I won't be followed by security. Land of the free clearly only applies to some and it breaks my heart. 

 

It really is heartbreaking. For years I thought I understood this point but the last few weeks have been eye opening. With the recent attacks on Asians, for the first time I have begun to really worry about walking down the street because of my race. I have been given a minuscule taste of that fear and it has completely altered by understanding.

I agree. My dad and I aren't really into poetry but we both loved her poem and thought she did an amazing job.

Thank you for that. It was beautiful and very moving. The world needs more of her and less of security guards who follow people around because they "look suspicious" though they are doing nothing even remotely suspicious.

Well that’s something that Patton would be aware of, it literally takes one click to determine if someone follows you.

I don't really understand mocking Baio for searching for his name in the first place. Couldn't he just...follow Patton Oswalt? It's not like it was an old tweet he had to dig around for.

I think the joke is that SB actually does searches on his own name in posts where he is not specifically tagged where it would not necessarily come up on his feed.  I believe he has a rep for going after just generic people with fairly modest follower counts (comparative to celebrities) who mention him in tweets.  And by that standard the only way he'd know they mentioned him is if he put his own name in the search.  Which if you are a celebrity is not the wisest thing to do otherwise you are doing your own personal version of 'Mean Tweets' only without someone like Jimmy Kimmel going through and curating the funnier ones.

That's a good analysis there. Never thought about that.

Gosh, it's almost like making insensitive remarks and throwing a hissy fit and storming off the set of a show because you can't deal with how the discussion's going is a bad move for your career or something. Who knew?

Piers was also gross this morning commenting on a female host’s(? Not sure her job) dress. He kept on about it being a miniskirt even after she said it was a dress. He told her to stand up and show everyone. You could tell she was not happy about it. I would’ve fired him for that too. It was sexual harassment or at least extremely inappropriate behavior right on camera

Yes, that is sexual harassment and creating a hostile work environment right in front of everyone watching the show.

Piers Morgan quits Good Morning Britain.

I love that his asshole comments about not believing Meghan's suicidal thoughts emboldened his co-worker to finally speak out.  The guy sounded so exasperated and just done.  You could tell he had been sitting on that for awhile and had some time today.  Also, I love he he just so very elegantly said 'Dude, she curved you as was her right. Get over it."  LOL.

That's the biggest problem.   Morgan will NEVER see that someone has the right to ... just not want to be around him.   He is so white male privileged that he literally CANNOT see that.   So anyone who does exercise that right must be a terrible horrible person who clearly is just out for themselves (project much???)

This was posted elsewhere by another board member. I won't say it totally sums up Piers, because it mostly just shows his sexism and leaves out his racism, nativism, etc., but it's a good, really quick view into how nightmarish it must be to be NEAR him.

They did cut out the beginning but him telling her to stand up is in that clip. 

“Up you go. Up you go.” Like he’s talking to a toddler.

And here's Chelsea Handler ripping Piers for being a terrible interviewer on his CNN show from 2014.

Quote

In the clip, Morgan and Handler come back from a brief mid-show break, and Handler criticizes Morgan for spending his downtime on his phone, scrolling through Twitter while she was opposite him at the desk. Handler says that Morgan’s interviewing and overall on-camera skills could use some brushing up.

“You can’t even pay attention for 60 seconds, you’re a terrible interviewer,” Handler says.

Morgan retorts by saying he was looking at his cell phone because he thought Handler was being boring. “You just weren’t keeping my attention, that’s more an issue for you than me,” Morgan said.

“That’s not my problem, this is your show. You have to pay attention to the guests you invited on your show,” Handler argued.

“If they’re interesting enough…” Morgan tried to say, before Handler cut him off to continue. “Listen, it doesn’t matter how interesting I am, you signed up for this job.”

Buuuurrrn

Is anyone surprised? Weren’t there rumors of infidelity on his part when the engagement was first announced? My thought has always been that if a celebrity couple are engaged for more than a year, the wedding ain’t happening. 

Though given that one of those years was a pandemic year so I don’t know if that works in this case but yes there have been rumors of infidelity on his part their entire relationship. Most recently with someone from Southern Charm.

Didn't Madison confirm ARod DMing her? Not that she's the most reliable narrator, but naming him of all people really comes out of left field for her.

Yes she confirmed it (he also liked several of her IG photos and followed her) though she said they had never slept together which was the original rumor.

Eh. I think it still applies. I personally know couples who were planning really nice weddings that were due to happen last year. They cancelled the weddings due to the pandemic but still managed to get married. My point, if they wanted to get married they would have, despite the pandemic. They could’ve had a preacher or JOTP perform the ceremony then do the BIG wedding with all their celebrity guests later. Trouble in paradise was likely more so the culprit facilitating the postponements rather than the pandemic.

Sure many people did get married but I also have a ton of friends who are waiting which is also extremely common.

Ah.  Not really a shock.  I think J Lo gets validation from being in a "power couple" situation and that can make her overlook her partner's infidelities or drawbacks.  I think that hoopla has started to die down and the reality of being with someone like him (again) was starting to sink in.

I guess the huge Valentine's Day bouquet of roses (both the size of the bouquet and the Instagram performance of showing it off) were a sign that something was probably off there and an attempt to recapture the glorious attention of the early days.

Yes, the pandemic might have delayed a lot of weddings, even celeb weddings, but I'm not convinced the pandemic would have stopped J Lo or A -Rod if they really wanted it.
