I appreciate Sarah Jessica Parker as an actress and as a person (I think the work she does with libraries and other cultural institutions is very admirable) but And Just Like That<\/em>\u2026 is made to torture us. There is no other reasoning.\u00a0<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I could pound my keyboard in rage about the nun from outside of Winnipeg but that\u2019s not even the issue; this show is a shell of a husk of a corpse. It\u2019s like watching a 30-minute TikTok but with less inventiveness. And the saddest part is that Carrie, as annoying and selfish and cringe as she could be, was a living, breathing, messy woman with wants and desires. Today\u2019s Carrie has nothing to SAY, about herself or anyone else. She\u2019s completely lost her voice and maybe that\u2019s a narrative structure because it looks like the voiceover is coming back, but even if it doesn\u2019t, she has no spark. She\u2019s become the pristine, vacant void she always thought Natasha was.<\/p>\n <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/figure>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n <\/p>\n It\u2019s Andy Cohen\u2019s birthday and I love this description of him. \u201cWould take a ride from a stranger\u201d is a great way to describe someone.\u00a0<\/p>\n <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/figure>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n <\/p>\n As podcasts have been completely co-opted by slick celebrity productions, WTF with Marc Maron,<\/em> one of the most renowned and successful podcasts to ever be made, is ending<\/a>. In a statement, Marc Maron said that he\u2019s satisfied and the team has done all they want to do, so it\u2019s over. It\u2019s completely understandable but also very rare for a project to end so peacefully.\u00a0<\/p>\n <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/figure>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Over the weekend, PEOPLE had an exclusive<\/a> about Nicola Peltz-Beckham\u2019s wedding dress being the start of the drama. This is not an exclusive, it was reported on years ago. We KNOW. PEOPLE is also reporting that Nicola and Brooklyn have hired the same law firm as Meghan Markle. That\u2019s the headline but Meghan doesn\u2019t seem to have anything to do with it and her name is being tied into all their family drama.\u00a0<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n <\/p>\n For the Peltz-Beckhams, the new hire is for \u201creputation management,\u201d something we usually align with a public relations agency. A source told people, \u201cIronically, the inaccurate reporting proves exactly why one hires legal counsel, to set the record straight and combat the spread of deliberate misinformation.\u201d Hmmm. OK so 90% of the reporting we read about them is sourced from the inside; remember that story about how they went to Meghan and Harry\u2019s house for dinner? It turns out the dinner was not at Meghan and Harry\u2019s at all. It was at the home of a Paramount CEO. The initial reporting made it seem much more personal and that was the first story out \u2013 the follow-up didn\u2019t get much traction<\/a>. As I said at the time, who would this leak benefit \u2013 Meghan and Harry, who get endless press and regularly hang with major power players, or Brooklyn and Nicola? I\u2019m writing about this Glamour Germany cover tomorrow.\u00a0<\/p>\n
