Like Angela Lansbury, Judi Dench is an older woman of a certain era in a different country. I disagree but I'm not going to pillory her over it. I also doubt she knows the full story, which is her own mistake.

Kavanaugh is wildly unpopular in polling, so the public does care and people are very much paying attention - he's trended at some point almost everyday for over a week. Whether or not the GOP rams it through (which I doubt), everyone is watching. Defeatism is not pragmatism.

That's wild. She fits.

Yep! My friend works at CAA and told me all about it. Insane.

Renee Elise Goldsberry (OLTL) is evil Kyle MacLachlan's equally evil wife in The House with a Clock in its Walls.

Grassley hastened to add the vote is just a committee voice, and is just a placeholder date for now. Personally, I think it's a bluff: They didn't have the votes last night, and I don't think they do now.

I doubt it.

In case you thought things couldn't get worse for Kavanaugh:

He's going directly to jail:

Robin Strasser, everyone:

Original series writer (and FWWM co-writer) Robert Engels talks TP. Another interview with longtime Lynch collaborator Charlotte Stewart (Betty Briggs). On Catherine Coulson and Jack Nance:

Netflix's new Orson Welles documentary, releasing alongside The Other Side of the Wind:

I don't trust Avenatti, who I think is out for himself first. I don't want him holding public office and I think he'll immolate himself if he tries.

Sometimes you need guys like him.

After her stint on GH, Tonja Walker tested for Skye on AMC and Tina on OLTL before Paul Rauch created the role of Alex Olanov for her. Tangentially, Jill Larson got Ursula Blackwell at OLTL because Louise Sorel did a show with her on the NY stage. Sorel introduced her to Rauch, who was still dating LS at the time.

Justina Machado is in the running for the supporting role of police office Renee Montoya in DC/WB's somehow-still-on-schedule Birds of Prey female superhero/villain film with Margot Robbie.

Kavanaugh was part of the ratfucker brigade for Starr during the Lewinsky scandal. He pushed for very explicit sexual questions and regularly did coordinated leaks to the press.

Yes, it's come to this:

That never stopped them before.

Whoops!

He and his wife are on Fox tonight. That'll do the job!

I woke up to the news that Rosenstein was 'assumed to be fired' and sensed it was another bullshit cry wolf moment for the media to get rooked by. Went to sleep for another hour, woke up again and I was right. As the Gabriel Sherman piece upthread indicates, Trump is scared and desperate. He knows he's in real danger now. Meanwhile:
