Famous Jennifers

image.attributes.post_excerpt
Today is Learn What Your Name Means Day. Apparently, Jennifer means ‘fair.’ Pffft. And so I am reminded of this entry from the Archives ~~ I never liked being a Jennifer.  It always felt so – what’s the word? – normal.  I’m a lot of things but normal is definitely not one of them.  I... Read more »

Crack is wack and other things Whitney Houston taught me

image.attributes.post_excerpt
In light of the extremely articulate Brad Pitt saying his life ‘wasn’t interesting’ during the 90′s and his marriage had ‘something to do with it’ (ouch!) and then, of course, backpedaling like it’s nobody’s business, I’m reminded of this entry from the Archives ~ ~~~~~~~ It’s hard not to appreciate when someone speaks their mind...

Thank you, Taylor Swift

Who told Ellen about being in the public eye – It’s obnoxious if I complain about anything. I hear people talk about ‘Oh, the intrusions on my privacy.’  There are a million other jobs you could have had. Thank you!! You hear that, Kardashians and Lindsay and Paris? Don’t complain. In the words of Hyman... Read more »
