(81,193 posts)67. Guilty - of giving a hoot.
VERY interested in react and other second-day leads.
I cant help it. Its driven into me, having spent most of my career covering Hollywood in one way or another. If you live in LA it kinda goes with the territory in the news biz anyway. But then I spent years at the AP specifically on the Hollywood beat. So its still kind of a thing for me.

One could always use the hide thread feature instead of attention seeking over it.

Smith has to know he'll be roasted for like six minutes on the next Chris Rock tour...

I care that Questlove's Oscar winning moment became a footnote to a nonsense event

Very unfortunate situation. Bad joke. Emotional response from a protective spouse.
