I was about to write in today’s open that the Hollywood Predator Advent Calendar (which Saturday Night Live borrowed on Weekend Update this week) has been pretty quiet. Then I changed my mind because… well… it was only a matter of time. And then Mario Batali popped out, Crocs first. Mario has apologised and he’s no longer welcome on The Chew. The people Maria harassed aren’t the only ones though. Sexism is well-known in the restaurant business and everyone I know with hospitality experience has a long list of stories about assholes in the kitchen and how they demoralised staff and peers. As David Chang said today, “our industry is broken”. At this point, what industry isn’t? (Dlisted)
Do you watch black-ish? Excuse me, I’m not just nagging you, again, to watch black-ish, I’m asking because black-ish was nominated today for a Golden Globe for Best Comedy. And you know who’s on black-ish? Jenifer Lewis. She’s Ruby. The BEST. Listen to this woman read from her book. Buy the book. Also buy the audio book. And then, for God’s sake, would you please enjoy her on black-ish? Who else can wear this outfit like she’s wearing it?!? (Jezebel)
The Justice League was in New York yesterday. You know who showed up? Because she always shows up? Because she’s been carrying those boys this entire year? Wonder Woman, Gal Gadot, of course. I don’t see Ben Affleck there though. Or Ezra Miller. And… you know what? I’m not sure it mattered. Batman was once the everything of that world. And now, as long as Wonder Woman is there, nobody’s mad. (Just Jared)
I got sucked into this last year because we have a teen niece, and if you know teenagers, you know how hard it is to make them happy. To make her happy, we gave our money to Kylie Jenner and while I’m not going to say the words “it was worth it”, I can tell you that our niece actually smiled and did not slam the door, which means Christmas wasn’t ruined. This is a superpower. Teenagers ruining Christmas. My thoughts are with you this holiday season if you have a teenager. By the way, in case you were wondering, our niece just turned 15, and this year she’s asked for a Kate Spade purse. (Cele|bitchy)
I don’t hate this outfit on Hailee Steinfeld. In fact, I think I like how big the shoulders are. And there’s a whole rock’n’roll vibe going that, given the event, maybe you could justify. What’s bothering me more is the eye makeup. It just keeps going and going. (Go Fug Yourself)
It’s nearly the end of the year so Vanity Fair has decided to revisit the year in Princess Kate’s hair which I can’t say I enjoyed remembering because of those hair clips. And because she cannot seem to stay away from the most tired-ass updos. (Vanity Fair)
