RIP Bob Hoskins

I haven't posted in a while, so often I like to be thoughtful about what I post. Once I fell upon the news that Bob Hoskins passed away last night, I didn't have to consider any other news.

For most women in their 30's, Bob Hoskins was a big part of our youth, 'Who Framed Roger Rabbit?', 'Mermaids', and 'Hook' among so many other things.

He was 71 years old.

RIP.

Kevin Clash, Voice of Elmo, Has Been Exonerated

I was going to try to rewrite this, but The Superficial put this very eloquently:

Kevin Clash was a young black man from the projects of Baltimore who only had one dream: To work in children’s television like his hero Captain Kangaroo. 

Through hard work, dedication and talent, he found himself working for Sesame Street Workshop and soon turned a puppet nobody knew what to do with into the most popular children’s character of our generation. A character that to any child from almost as soon as they can see until three-years-old is like staring into the face of God every single morning on their television screens. 

But then in 2012, the world learned what only a few of Kevin’s close friends and colleagues knew: He’s gay. But instead of finding out from an inspiring coming out story, they learned from one Sheldon Stephens who claimed he had an underage relationship with Kevin. 

While this turned out to be bullshit, Kevin made the unfortunate mistake of paying Sheldon to publicly state his accusations were false instead of just disappearing into the woodwork after his lawyer quit leaving this story up in the air. This prompted three other accusers to come forward after suddenly remembering they had underage sex with Kevin, too, despite repeatedly changing their stories to okay, there wasn’t sex, and lying about their ages. 

But the damage was already done, so to protect the beloved company that had helped realize his dreams, Kevin resigned from Sesame Workshop so he could settle these matters in court without tarnishing Sesame Street. And settle them he fucking did. Not only were all three lawsuits thrown out of court, but Radar reports that they've now been dismissed by the United States Court of Appeals: 

"The Court of Appeals argued the alleged victims “failed to provide any reason why [they] were unable to discover their injuries prior to 2012,” court documents state. The Court of Appeals found the arguments to be “without merit,” affirming the New York judge’s previous decision to dismiss all three suits."

Last year I watched a documentary called 'Being Elmo' about Kevin Clash's life and path to becoming one of the most beloved puppeteers in our lifetime. It was amazing and so much of it made me question these horrible accusations he was facing. I'm really happy to hear that his name was cleared of all these charges. TWICE. Unfortunately, we lost him to all this crap, but at least his name is clear now.

Honestly, I think it's on Netflix still, watch it if you have the chance. It was great.

The 2014 MTV Movie Awards Red Carpet

So the MTV Movie Awards were last night and the timing was terrible, because most people are at Coachella for the next 2 weeks. Come on MTV! Get it together!

Here's who was left:

Bella Thorne:
I only know her because she is the face of one of my customers. It's really nice that she was able to get a matching cast for her right arm. It really ties the look together.

Also, those shoes look like a torture devices.

Ellie Goulding:
This one...she made the awards and Coachella and wore this. It seemed to have a lot more trouble staying on her body than this dress.  She's really cute, I like this girl/lady.

Jessica Alba:
This is cute, but I kind of hate this skirt. I much prefer the fitted midi skirt version of this combo. Her top is great though. All of it fits her really well. Also, her tan makes me want to barf.

JWoww:

This one. Stop pretending you don't put things in your face, because your face is a HOT mess and over the next 6 months while you hopefully don't pump any more poison in your face so you don't kill the fetus in your bedazzled womb, we're going to SEE your face fall. And it will be fun for me.

Like, WHAT is this dress? Ugh.

Leslie Mann:
Always the same dress. I don't dislike it. I'm just bored by it. And I like her shoes...but her feet are not good. They look painful.

Lupita Nyong'o:
OMG her hair. She looks so awesome. This dress is kind of horrible, but it takes a lot of balls to wear and it fits her like a DREAM. Look at her tiny waist! And those shoes! I die for them. They would look so great with black skinnies.

Mila Kunis:
Amid rumours that she's pregnant, Mila showed up as best villain from the terrible Wizard of Oz movie. Not showing off that she's preg, and definitely not hiding it. Looks like she is. Good god she's pretty.

Rihanna:
This is interesting. It looks like someone could only be away from Drake for a little bit and wore her boudoir couture to an awards show ceremony. I love her hair like that though. So pretty.

Snooki:
I am horrified to tell you that she looks great. No? Very cute and appropriate.

Shailene Woodley:
Well, I hate this color, but this outfit is BOSS. The shoes are great, the top is amazing and I wish I owned it in black, and the skirt is tolerable because of the rest of it.

Oh, and have I mentioned the shoes? OMG. I love them.

Rita Ora:

I think I love this. I LOVE tops like this. It's one of the only things I can pull off because I have little boobs. Sometimes, little boobs work to your advantage. This is one of those times. I kind of wish the bottom wasn't a stiff satin skirt, but I will still love it.

Nicki Minaj:

Why so sad Nicki? You look kind of refreshing for you. Very sleek and elegant. And I dig the jewelry. But it's almost like her hair color and her loud clothing is her personality or something, because she looks stifled in this photo.

Zac Efron:
You know, when you're rumoured to be a giant coke head and you keep getting found in the areas of LA that no non-drug addict should be, maybe getting on stage and ripping off your shirt is not a good idea. You look slightly out of control and with weak judgement...oy boy. Get back to rehab.

Stephen Colbert Taking Over for David Letterman

My serious boyfriend, Stephen Colbert, the most adorable of all political satirists will be retiring from his Comedy Central show, 'The Colbert Report' and taking over for David Letterman when he retires next year.

In the past year, my two favourite last night guys have been catapulted to prime slots. I can only assume this is due to the fact that Beauty Writer and I fangirl on them in major ways.

Right?

How adorable is this teddy bear of a man?

I'm so excited...but I won't lie, torn. I love both. Who do I watch?

Julia Louis-Dreyfus Naked on Rolling Stone

She's 53!

I get it, it's Photoshopped. We know everything is, but there is no mistaking that she is in great shape.

People are getting their panties in a knot about the fact that there is apparently an error on the text on her back, but like, really? It's symbolic. You're not supposed to read it.

If you don't watch Veep, watch it. It's great and she's great on it.
