Broadway siren had a way with words and Enemies — Must see [VIDEO]
[NYT] Carrie Nye, known for her dry wit and Mississippi drawl that inevitably attracted comparisons with Tallulah Bankhead, made her Broadway debut in 1960 in “A Second String,” an adaptation of a novel by Colette. Five years later she was nominated for a Tony Award for playing a society lady in the musical “Half a Sixpence.”
This is a (breathtaking) scene from Great Performances — Enemies (1974).

Project Runway 11.6: Spelling Bee-otch
Ladies Day on the judges’ panel
Treadle, thimble, toil and trouble! Needle poke and cauldron bubble! There’s much ado about fashion on Project Runway this week, when our contestants work their magic on the age-old problem of old age, hoping for a Cocoon-like transformation through a fountain of youth. I guess cat sweaters and polyester slacks don’t cut it anymore. Sorry, Grandma!

Informal Queer Day is aimed towards Sports, Music and of course, Fashion
I love the words informal queer. I read it in a Eats, Shoots & Leaves kind of way. Would it kill them to put a colon in front of a queer? I’m just thinking of a gay guy in Gap sweats. You know, an informal queer. A chubby, informal happy queer.

Prince Harry: The Ginger Good Samaritan in Africa busts out sweet dance moves and baked goods
Everyone loves cake, not many have a prince in a pink teddy bear apron making them
Prince Harry returned to Lesotho, Africa, today on a charity trip, and took the time to learn a little sign language so he could communicate with deaf kids supported by his children’s charity, Sentebale (the name in the local language means “forget me not“).
Harry started with a visit to a school for deaf children, where he performed some dance moves with the kids, and donned a teddy-bear apron to cook traditional sweet bread cakes.
Hell, make him the next Pope. I’m sure there’s a Vatican somewhere in Vegas by the pyramids.
Harry: The World’s Prince. (And stripper.) The spitting image of his late mum, inside and out.
Love.
Love.
Love.

During a discussion about a silly tabloid story that reported Jennifer Aniston wanted to do her job correctly and was being called a “diva” for it, Whoopi said something, that to me, was disturbing.
Watch.

Anderson Cooper gets Pussy Facial on live TV
Anderson Cooper‘s perfect porcelain skin didn’t need an overhaul, but a kitty litter facial he received nonetheless.
I’d rather he stick to his regular skin care regimen and try washing his jeans more than four times a year.

It’s going to be The Twist, Dorothy.
Dorothy Hamill doesn’t stand a chance against Andy Dick.
Poor thing.
