  • Life and Life Only

    A good memoir should be more than an autobiography and less than a confessional but contain elements of both.

  • ONTD Original: Stationery Influencers Are Indeed a Thing

    While making a comment in the Michael J. Fox post about how Hollywood has changed, I talked about how there are tons of influencers who are extremely popular in their own little spheres of influence and how it's rare for influencers to become popular across multiple themes, audiences, target demographics, whatever.

  • Palm Royale recap: Were these plot developments drawn from a hat?

    I thought that maybe Palm Royale was finally gelling after last week. Everyone was in one location, the humor was clicking, and the reveals felt like payoffs. Alas, it was short lived, as the wheels came off this week in a big way. True to its established structure, we open with another flashback.

His wellness practices, as he tells GQ, have involved a similar amount of gutsiness: getting dosed with frog poison, embarking on a fast that involves eating bentonite clay.
