• Vulture a ranking of former Disney and Nickelodeon child stars and how powerful their celebrity is now. Be warned. This list might make you feel old; I didn't recognize four of the names and two more of them it took me a minute to be like, uh huh, her
NYT "Everybody Loves Fran. But why?" a rather biting critiquee of Fran Lebovitz... (I personally am loving the show about her, "Pretend It's a City")

... and Jonathan Bailey being his adorable self via Harper's Bazaar. We loved him before you did, Bridgerton fans. We're talking Broadchurch, stage musical gigs, and Phoebe Waller Bridge's Crashing back in 2016.

Re Jonathan Bailey, you forgot his prickish Jack in W1A, competing for the affections of a woman against Hugh Skinner.

Good cast for Where the Crawdads Sing. Love it when British actresses do southern.

Just discovered Jonathan Bailey is gay so will be quitting my job and traveling to the UK to start a family with him.

Re: Fran Lebowitz, I gave "Pretend" a good shot and realized it was not for me. In my salad days in San Francisco, I would read her books while sitting on the steps of the bookstore, Paperback Traffic, and her acerbic wit was a great pleasure. Maybe I got my fill of her when I was young. It also occurred to me that only New Yorkers will enjoy her show.

If by “we” you mean you and me (and Pam, apparently), then you are correct.

@ Tony T and Greg F.: You’re both too late. #sorrynotsorry

I will never forget how disgusting and hurtful Fran Lebovitz's transphobic comments were about Candy Darling in the documentary about her life. I've been completely turned off of her ever since.

Great, more mediocre Harry Potter content. Ladies and gentleman, your new George Lucas is J.K. Rowling.
