They coyly hinted that they had picked lice eggs off the heads of Hollywood royalty, but that nitpicker-client confidentiality precluded them from naming names.

First I wondered if that was just a cheap way to buy credibility by name-dropping without name-dropping. Then I wondered if I would have had the fortitude to keep it to myself that I had touched Katie Holmes’s hair.

1. Fill the glass with ice.

3. Float the coke over the remaining 1/8.

My favorite cocktails generally involve putting the ice and carbonated beverage in a separate glass from the liquor.

It's too bad most of Hollywood goes for the shaved look downstage these days.

If I were Pacino, I would send that note but say "TWO TIMES." Best to let everyone forget about the third.


ETA: A rare occasion on which Hank and I agree?

I know that scene is terrible and I still love it.

My hairstylist does Ian Ziering's hair (I know this because I had an appointment right after his appointment one day, not because she's a namedropper). I wonder if he tips her better now that he's a big Sharknado star. He is NMT but really looking better with age than he did 90291 era.

NMT? (not much too-look-at?)

In other Not-related news (get it?), former New York Giants coach Allie Sherman died. http://mobile.nytimes.com/2015/01/06...html?referrer=

Even I'm too young to remember his glory years, but I heard his name repeatedly in The Ancestral Homeland in lines from my dad like "the goddamned Giants haven't won a thing since they fired Allie Sherman," usually followed by a swig of Stanwix.

That’s exactly why the scene sucks SO MUCH. I’ve read that Korean boy bands (which are a big thing, BTW) have their music written by an algorithm that’s been carefully developed to use a tried-and-true chord progression to produce popular hit after popular hit. The expulsion hearing scene of “SoaW” was the cinematic equivalent: making you think you’re seeing how a hero sticks it to The Man, when what’s really happening is that an argument is being made that the protagonist should be allowed to cover up for his bros so they can all graduate from their tony prep school. Because a code of silence is integrity — which may be so in the face of injustice, but which in this case allows actually guilty students not to be punished for a prank they, you know, actually committed. Hoo-ah!

British regulators tell Urban Outfitters to “mind the [thigh] gap” because their underwear model was unhealthily thin; American millennial web mag chimes in to say the U.S. should follow this “bold” move and also ban photos that promote an unrealistic beauty standard.

No word on whether any tarantulas were trapped in the making of the photo.
