Making bad jokes isn't illegal.  Physically assaulting somebody is illegal.  That's why one person is banned and the other isn't.

As a woman, I'm so glad I'm not famous. I hate the idea of maintaining a size 2 or 4, wearing high heels everywhere (even to Starbucks), and trying to look 15 years younger than I am for the rest of m

Because maybe it had a note that said, "your pants are unzipped." I'd open it.

Because a post-it note wouldn't work?

Accounts say it was marked "Personal & Confidential".  Any normal person would set that aside until they finished their project intro. 

Because anything that was a real emergency, like an issue with her kids, would have been told to her directly and she would have left.  

Just weird.  She absolutely didn't have to open it there.

Honestly I assumed it was leaked by someone working at the con. The standard rules for cons are that attendees aren't to give anything to the panelists. It puts them in an awkward position at best so, when I read that the server handed her the envelope, I immediately assumed that the contents were shown to the con workers as proof that it wasn't just a fan trying to get to her and then they told whatever press was there. I don't know if the servers are allowed to do that before the recipient has seen them mind you but it's what I assumed.

She didn’t. She didn’t react at all when she opened it and has not released a statement. Initially, it was reported to be a unsolicited script. The truth leaked the next day. It has led to an official security investigation so there are a lot of people who probably knew and the leak could have come from many different sources.

I’ve watched a lot of convention panels and I don’t find it at all unusually that she opened it. I’ve seen official information or gifts for stars passed onstage. I’ve even seen celebrities take food from fans. I’m sure that there is supposed to security in place so that the only ones who approach the stage are authorized to do so. I can’t blame her for assuming that it was legitimate rather than a breakdown in security.

Yeah, I think Julia looks great.  I think she made her nose a little too sharp/pointy for my tastes but other than that I think she just looks fantastic.

I know a lot of people dislike Gwyneth Paltrow but she posts a lot of makeup free pictures of herself and she looks so natural and fresh.  

GP is definitely one of those celebs where I think they're probably as close to natural as you can possibly get in Hollywood. If there has been work done, it's been pretty tasteful and minimal. I also think she has a good role model in her mother, who also seems to realize that it's impossible to look 25 for the rest of your life and that's okay as well. Heck, recent photos show that Blythe has gone gray which is something even Meryl Streep won't do just yet:

There are these girls who are getting botox skin injections and fillers with the promise that it's "preventative" and keep them from looking older because they literally won't have the ability to form wrinkles, and you really wonder what happens to the 22-year old  girl who did that and what she'll look like when she's 52.

Dan Aykroyd and Donna Dixon Separate After 39 Years, Remain Legally Married: 'Loving Friendship'

 

I wonder if they might have the option to  talk  over  with Danny De Vito and Rhea Perlman how that state has worked for them in the long term.

I suppose if a couple has agreed exactly who gets what/lives where and neither wants to chance or consider getting married again, this might work in the long term (and, it would also  make some  sense if one or both of an estranged couple belonged to  a faith that refuses to consider allowing its members to  divorce for any reason). However,    it seems a bit of a limbo state.

Dammit, they always seemed so solid. Of course I know that people grow apart and all that, but still sucks. It’s a bit odd that they want to stay legally married, but if it’s an amicable relationship and they don’t want to mess around with legal semantics, then who’s to judge?

I doubt they showed them the papers.  They may have showed them a service order and ID or something.

If the new arrangement works for them, great. I don’t think it’s sad at all 🤷‍♀️. Many are happier not being married (I know they’re still legally married). In some ways, their arrangement sounds ideal to me, lol.

The server just put it on the stage, they didn't actually hand it to her.

A breakup with an asshole when you're still young can hurt terribly. I can't imagine separating after so many years at their ages. It sounds very tough to me. 

I have never heard anything about Dan Aykroyd that even hints at him being an asshole. Hopefully, this really was a mutual decision after just realizing that they just grew apart. It happens.

I don't claim to speak for @Real Housewife

 However,I believe that she was talking about that  it's tough enough to for a person to separate  when young even when one's spouse has been  unquestionably unpleasant so for Miss Dixon who is now middle-aged to have separated from her own longtime spouse must have been even more of a struggle (regardless of the reason/s this decision was reached)- and not that Mr. Ackroyd was an unquestionably unpleasant person.

Why assume that it is unpleasant for her and not for him or for both of them? I actually know quite a few couples who divorced after many years because the woman wanted something different and the man was comfortable with the way things were.

Did she say it’s been unpleasant for her? Maybe she’s relieved and enjoys being alone at this point in her life.

Statistics have shown that women often thrive alone (especially at older ages), while men are happier married. I’ll try to find a link to a source.

Not surprised. I know one man who was a bachelor for all his life and then decided to marry sometime around 60 and openly said that he simply wants someone to take care of him in his old age.

I think that these actors are making official what many couples have done for forever.  People have been deciding to live separate lives from their spouse since long before divorce was an option.  Hell, my grandparents lived as roommates for more than 25 years, and were content that way until my grandma died.

Also, it would probably be very annoying financially to go through the divorce and property separation process when you probably have diversified assets and business stuff.  

I imagine that the only reason it was even announced is so that they can stop being couply in public and people won't start rumors or ask questions.

I think that more couples would do this if they had the financial means to pay for separate homes, too.

Exactly.           

I searched and here’s the first article I found about this. 

Evidence suggests that marriage is better for men, not just in terms of happiness but also in terms of health,” happiness expert, Professor Paul Dolan, Professor of Behavioural Science at the London School of Economics told Bloomberg.

“There is data to suggest that some women are better off single in terms of health and happiness.”

I have read the above as well. It's interesting men benefit from marriage more even though they're more likely to resist it. Every individual is definitely unique. As someone who's spent many years single for personal reasons, I'm tired of it. But I must say I'll always take being single over a man who's abusive, a cheater, disrespectful, mean, etc.

Celebs deal with the pressure of the world watching them, but they tend to be hot and rich. That makes it easier to leave. I don't understand all of J.Lo's decisions, but she's gorgeous and rich, so I get why she just moves on if she's unhappy. She's not worried about the rent, child care, or if she'll find another man. Even if she doesn't have a happily ever after kind of love like in the movies, she'll always be fine.

I get that desire, except sometimes your partner becomes ill, incapacitated, and unable to be a caregiver.  I suppose that is more unlikely if you marry someone who is considerably younger.  A good friend of mine had to enter assisted living after his wife, who was 18 years younger than him, died of cancer.  ☹️ Of course, with financial resources, you can afford in home care.  That’s often an option with celebrities, who are wealthy.

I think physical appearance plays a much smaller part than we might think. 🤷‍♀️

Well, to be Debbie Downer, I think the word on the street was that Rhea got fed up with Danny’s relentless cheating and insisted on the split, so they probably do get along better with the complete removal of the expectation that he be faithful to her.  But it is probably nice for their kids (and grandkids?) that they seemed to be able to move on in friendship.

In one posted clip, apparently after the incident, Chappelle is heard to quip, “It was a trans man,” a reference to his own transphobic comments in his Netflix special The Closer and the uproar, protests and anger that ensued.

In the clip they showed on the morning shows today, all you can hear is Chris Rock saying "Was that Will Smith?".  Doesn't mean Chappelle didn't say something else, though.

Sorry, yes it was.  I edited my comment but apparently not fast enough.  None of the morning shows used any clips of Dave Chappelle saying anything.

In nicer news, Scary Spice Mel B awarded MBE for services to charitable causes and vulnerable women. The dress and the facinator go together nicely but I'm not sure it's the right look for an investiture.

And Dolly did get voted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, along with Duran Duran, Eminem, Lionel Ritchie, Pat Benetar, and Carly Simon.
