Some of us get excited when we see celebrities on the street, pumping their gas, paying their meter or rushing out frustrated from a massage appointment. Andrew Parish cooly serves them drinks.
Chelsea, you're a funny woman, a great big star on E!, a best-selling author and clearly a pal to Aniston. But Jennifer doesn't need your defense of her.
I feel like I was the first fan of Chelsea Lately. I remember her on E! years and years ago with a slew of random comedians and gossip reporters like Anna David, the group of pre-Joan Rivers Fashion Police Show.
I'm sad for Rosie O'Donnell. I believed she was an advocate for diversity. With the dwarfism community, she had a chance to open her door of inclusion a little wider. But after the Feb. 29 episode, it is hard to know if she did anything more than apologize for keeping the door closed on us.
That '70s Show alums Laura Prepon and Wilmer Valderrama reunite on the What's Trending couches.
While there are shows that make me laugh on a regular basis (from Curb Your Enthusiasm to The Big Bang Theory to Hot in Cleveland), there are many, many more that don't.
This Means War is a movie that exceeds expectations. You might think it will just be a run of the mill rom-com but it is more than that, primarily because of the charm of the cast.
I expected her to address her fears as an opportunity to bridge the gap between her own misunderstanding of dwarfism and the reality. Rather than erase any distance, O'Donnell reinforced the gap.
By now, you may know that Rosie O'Donnell just alienated all of the the little people in America. It's moments like this that continue to impress upon me the stupidity of television.
No Rosie, don't discuss this with other Little People (we're scary) or even a therapist, you've got Chelsea ("Did-you-do-one -- NO!") Handler in the house. Chelsea is at the forefront of small thinking. Well, we are a very funny group of people.
A clever refreshing comedy This Means War is almost put in jeopardy by Chelsea Handler (Trish) in a supporting, but crucial role.
In some ways, War is the bromance version of Mr. and Mrs. Smith, which could have been by McG but, instead, was by Doug Liman, who is like McG with a functioning brain.
I've been trying to do the things that Chelsea does to prepare, so I've been drinking. A lot. Every night, starting around noon. And I thought it would be fun to hang out with Jennifer Aniston, but the fence around Jen's house is super high.
An ugly little thought crept in: It's not just men who are responsible for our objectification. You have to wonder if we're sometimes responsible for our own misrepresentation.
In an era where commercials are fast-forwarded more often than previews before a movie boots up on a DVD, there is a time and a place where commercials are actually watched: Live sporting events.
To an almost uncanny degree, both programs were founded on the same set of mistaken assumptions about how to translate books to TV and whether it's worth it to attach famous names to TV projects.
