I have hated this lunatic since her days on Bill Maher's first show. I guess if I were this reprehensible I might end up hating all women too, as she clearly does.

'Women' and Children First
I'd go the movies way more often if every film could be as thoughtful and smart as "20th Century Women." If it were up to me, Annette Bening would finally receiver an Oscar, and Lucas Jade Zumann and Elle Fanning would at least be nominated for their nuanced performances.

What a surprise -- Donald Trump wants to keep using his personal Twitter account so he can make national news whenever he wants. #unifitforoffice
Eight people are about to get a big present from the GOP.
As Trump era arrives, a sense of uncertainty grips the world.

Health Care for All? Sign Me Up!
Yes, I'm sure Paul "I won't be happy until your grandparents are eating cat food" Ryan will sign off on this. Trump hasn't even been sworn in yet, but what's clear is Americans -- and everyone, really -- now need to take everything the most powerful man in the world says with a grain of salt as it is either politically impossible or he will change his mind within the hour. Government norms exist for a reason, and breaking them left and right could have unintended consequences that most of us do not want to even think about.

The Fast and the Reckless
First Paul Walker and his friend needlessly died driving like maniacs, now a 24-year-old Maserati salesman? I guess young(er) people really do think they're invincible.
The Daily News reports:
A Colorado Maserati salesman died early Saturday when he wrecked one of his dealership’s luxury sports cars shortly after he posted Facebook Live video of himself zipping down a highway at 111 mph.
Brandon Gianopoulos, 24, lost control of the pricey vehicle overnight while driving around Douglas County, KUSA-TV reported. A passerby spotted the 2017 Maserati covered in frost Saturday morning in a retention pond.
Gianopoulos, who was the only person in the car when it crashed, worked at Mike Ward Maserati in Highlands Ranch, a job that gave him access to the fleet of luxury sports cars.
Investigators believe excessive speed was a factor in the crash. Hours before he was found dead behind the wheel, Gianopoulos posted Facebook Live video showing him speeding in a Maserati, accelerating from 2 to 111 mph.
According to his Facebook profile, Brandon was originally from Boston and enjoyed working out. RIP.

Can Michael Alig Party On?
Former Gawker writer Rich Juzwiak profiles the onetime king of the Club Kids for 429 Magazine, writing:
Under Alig’s influence, and whether dressed like babies or in neon and polka dots, the Club Kids pursued fame for fame’s sake, bridging the gap between the Factory and Facebook. Though New York City was their playground, the Club Kids’ reach went nationwide, thanks to appearances on talk shows like Geraldo, The Phil Donahue Show, and The Richard Bey Show. At a time when gay people were represented through suffering (if they were represented at all in the media), the Club Kids radiated queerness. “Soon, every medium-size city in America boasted a club-kid scene based directly on these lifestyle propaganda spots that aired nationally on afternoon TV,” wrote Frank Owen in the 2003 book Clubland: The Fabulous Rise and Murderous Fall of Club Culture.Read on HERE.

Happy 95th to Betty White!
If 2016 taught us nothing else, it is to fully appreciate our national treasures -- and there isn't one more valuable than Miss Betty White. I grew up with Betty as Happy Homemake Sue Ann Nivens on "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" and on countless game-show appearances -- fans of a certain age will remember Alan Ludden of "Password" was her hubby from 1963 until his death in 1981) -- only to see her become an even bigger star via "The Golden Girls." Still, it wasn't until "Hot in Cleveland" that I fully appreciated just how talented this woman is -- I don't think I was alone as the whole Betty White Should Host "Saturday Night Live" campaign around the same time -- with just the slightest raise of a brow sending me into stitches. I don't think I'm overstating things to say our lives would have been less fun without her in it. Happy birthday, Betty -- and many, many more. xo

Obama Commutes Bulk of Chelsea Manning’s Sentence
I've never had a really strong opinion about the Chelsea Mannings and Edward Snowdens of the world. But I do know Manning has been living in hell the past seven years, so I can only applaud President Obama for showing mercy on this clearly damaged person, who will be freed in five months rather than in 2045.

'Will & Grace' to Return for 10-Episode Limited Revival
With the exception of Debbie Reynolds not being around for this, the saddest thing about the 10-episode reunion NBC has ordered for "Will & Grace" is that it harkens backs to a simpler time ... when George W. Bush was destroying the world. (I miss those days.) Can't wait to see the old gang together again!

Caitlyn Jenner to Attend Donald Trump Inauguration
We'll never know if Donald Trump was able to grab Caitlyn Jenner's pussy -- you're not supposed to ask transgenders about that kind of stuff.
It seems her transition to complete and total asshole is complete, no surgery required. If people don't understand what "privilege" means -- racial, socioeconomic or both -- then they needn't look any farther. She claims she's doing it because "Republicans need help understanding LGBTQ issues" and that she's "here to help." But these words ring hollow given the fact that she doesn't understand LGBTQ issues, so how can she educate others? Read HERE.
