Note: We hope everyone has a happy & peaceful Thanksgiving! We’re off on Thursday, but there will be some light posting on Friday! Enjoy your turkey, pie and GRAVY.
Everyone have a Happy Thanksgiving. I know we’re living in a moment where it’s pretty hard to be thankful, (this year has been a trip!) but I have family, friends, and health and for that I am grateful. I hope you all have that as well. 🙂
Well said – this is probably the most important time to be thankful for what you have including liberties and freedoms 🙂
Best regards, Tiffany. I don’t have any of that and may be leaving this earth in a tight frame of time. That said, saying goodbye to this life reminds me of what it must have been like saying goodbye to Berlin. Feeling the best years are now behind us, it’s the sweetness I won’t forget while it’s the unforgiveness in the bitter that will send me on my way with a weary, though well earned, half-smile. Life was once a cabaret, they said. From the cradle to the grave, it really isn’t that long a stay. : )
Take care Dinah. Please keep posting here as long as possible. If there is anything we can say or do to help, please let us know. If you are talking about suicide, please don’t do that. If you are talking about an illness that may not leave you here for much longer, I wish you an easy time of it. Hugs and kisses
@Dinah
What are you talking about, Dinah?
I hope you find serenity, Dinah.
Hello Dinah: Tell us how you are doing today Wish you only the best.
Honey, all that breathes, share your destiny. Check out “Thanatopsis”, by William Cullen Bryant. Hugs from all beings. We are One in destiny, and that is for sure. Fistbumps!
Happy Thanksgiving all!!
I am dying over that story of Trump hating his double chin btw. Thanks for the laughs, celebitchy! Very needed in these stressful times
Well….maybe, he’ll have it sucked out & tightened and have an unfortunate reaction to the anesthesia. Always look on the bright si-ide of life…doo doo,doo doo doo doo doo doo…
🙂
Happy Thanksgiving
Don’t get my hopes up!
Melania better not send him to her plastic surgeon, given what he did to Ivana.
I hate my double chin too. What I hate even more is that now I have something in common with Donald Trump.
Trump’s double chin? Turkey gobbler stuff hanging off his face?
Happy Thanksgiving everyone 🙂
Wattle
I think Melania Should send the Trumpster to her plastic surgeon the look would be fabulous. Alien shaped eyes turkey wattled chin whisked away replaced with a stretched cheeto orange face. Think of the possibilities. 🙂
how about exclusively using double-chin heavy imagery when reporting on him in the future?
I second this motion. Crazy-smiley Kate pix and double-chin Drumpf shots.
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
Check out Seth Meyer’s take on the story about Drumpf complaining about his chin… gave me a giggle or two 😂 Also ‘stache-compared him to Saddam Hussein.

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone! Even if it’s not your holiday, we can be thankful we have Celebitchy to come to every day! Hugs!
You know what’s going to happen now that people realize Trump is so sensitive about his double chin. It will be the tiny hands phenomenon all over again.
Can we call him by his real name – Drumph? I prefer that realness in language.
Let’s talk about “All Races Male Athletes Privilege”.
I’m sorry. I just can’t, with her. STFU, already, about BOAN. NO! The destruction of a woman’s life is more important than the performances of actors in a movie (one that’s supposedly mediocre, at best…I don’t know, because, I refuse to watch).
“’She so deserves people to see her performance. She’s such a feminist. She’s this young dynamo. This could have been her big break. This big job that gives her the accolades and attention that she deserves. It’s like we all got thrown out. It’s like the baby and the bathwater all went down the drain.’”
If she’s such a feminist (which, what the hell does that have to do with her performance or whether or not she deserves recognition as an actor), what the hell is she doing shilling for Parker and Celestin?
Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃
Remember, my lovelies; that nature takes a piece of shit, and turns it into berries! The natural order of things – so pleased to be a part of magic and wonder…awe is our milk. I believe that women are the highest order of beings.
Let us talk about women married to professional atheltes privilege. Or beautiful women’s privilege. Cuz if you are unattractivre and over 50, there ain’t no privilege–like a job. She’s ignorant.
I don’t think she’s being ignorant at all by bringing this up. There are still discrimination and safety issues that a young woman of color (or any woman of color) has to worry about that an over-50 white woman may not have to worry about as much.
Men are still disgusting, after 50. It’s really not a privilege to be entitled to this display of male prowess; the take-down, and control… Are you kidding?.
Happy Thanksgiving, American friends.
*sulks at the thought of having to work myself*
Sending you virtual Thanksgiving dinner, minus that other Thanksgiving thing called FOOTBALL
Thanks, Sixer! There’s always enough on our table if you and the rest of the Sixers ever feel like hopping a plane over to L.A. 😊
You’re not alone Sixer. Canada’s is the second Monday in October.
*reads post* *sees the hit dogs hollering* *continues sipping cup o’ white tears*
Right?!
Guhl! I have time today to clock it … Such Fragile . Very Fee fees
I’m just pointing out that Nate Parker is part of this conversation. I’m not offended by her talking about racism, she should talk about it, but don’t whine about your movie when you chose to work with a rapist. At least Lena has learned something from their conversations. Nate…not so much.
No Fee fees. No Fragile. Just Sick of hypocritical BS.
*continues sipping cup o’ black tears*
Right?!
Lmao, lemme get myself a cup and sit by you QQ. Seriously, bringing up male privilege in a conversation about black women? Did they even try? 😀
I think the male privilege part of the conversation has to do with Nate Parker. Gabrielle seems to have a bigger problem with white women than she does with that rapist.
Okay ladies, everyone pour out the tears cause I have boxed wine (I’m classy like that). And everyone is welcome.
Hope everyone has a nice thanksgiving.
@Vanessa, sorry but I’m not buying that. People bring up her husband whenever she talks about the struggles of being a black woman in an industry that’s both racist and sexist. She’s apparently supposed to stop whining about racism because her husband is a rich athlete.
Resenting white supremacy and by extension, white privilege isn’t the same as having a “problem” with white people. If that’s how you view it, it’s no wonder that white people get so annoyingly defensive when the topic comes up.

YES. I agree with you. (except, I believe Lena, probably, doesn’t really care…. dunno, maybe, she’s trying. Yeah, Nate…. not AT ALL)
Agreed, @LolaDoesTheHula.
They tried it.
People want her to be a ‘good’ feminist but she’s not allowed to express her opinions on being a woman in the industry because of a man.
I think BOAN is a bitter pill for her to swallow, it looks apparent that she didn’t know what she was getting into with that guy and once she found out it’s pretty clear that as a survivor who was caught in the headlights she was the de facto damage control commission. This was especially true once Parker revealed himself to be set on blowing up his entire career with his abominable behaviour. I’ve never seen her defend him and I think a lot a lot of her regret over the ‘big break’ thing is that there are so few chances for a black woman to get a big break in relation to white ones, still, the film is a write-off that apparently wasn’t even that good. I don’t think it would have happened anyway. I didn’t see the film because of him, but she’s not the first to tell people to separate the artist from the work, so take that for what it’s worth. Even if I refuse to watch anything he does, it doesn’t take away from her larger point.
There’s always hindsight in the aftermath because word of mouth blew up this movie twice but it’s over now and it’s time to accept it, but black tears? The movie still flopped and there has been tons of press (mainly negative) about black women staying away from the film because of Parker, so, Jack-in-the-box Jesus, people.
Bitter pills – life is full of them. Coping and overcoming the hate and anger provoked, is the secret elixir that we seek…
Re: Martin Scorsese film
Memo to self: ugh, nicht far mir
I love Martin Scorsese but I am bored to death watching the trailer. Blah blah blah two young mainstream blockbuster men lead a movie with another lead blockbuster older about the importance of church and male relationships. Blah blah blah.
I am tired of being lectured to by actresses who could not walk a mile in my own shoes and my own life and challenges.
Yep.
This has to be done IMMEDIATELY.

Happy Thanksgiving. I’ve only posted a few times, but I read it everyday. My mother passed away last Thursday. Very unexpected. Complications from surgery. She was only 62 and has had health problems for awhile. She has bben at the brink of death and has always recovered.
Thanksgiving was her day. She would cook for days. We would have at least 15 people at our house. She always opened her home to everyone friends Neighbors people who she hardly knew. She thought that people should not be alone on the holiday and that everyone should have a good home cooked meal. I am not handling things too well right now. There’s this hole in my heart that seems to only get bigger.
@Tgosha
Oh, TGosha,
I’m so sorry. My mother just died a couple of months ago. It’s not easy.
The hole will never close, but, it will get smaller. I know it just sounds like a platitude, but, you will feel better over time. Right now, you’re still in shock and in uncharted waters.
I hope you have people you’re sharing tomorrow with. It’s okay to be alone, if you want, but, it’s healing to know that others are feeling for you.
Oh, Tgosha I am so sorry. You are not alone in your grief. I will be thinking of you. Sending you love and blessings.
Tgosha: I’m so very sorry for your devastating loss. If you have FB, there are a number of good grieving groups, many designed for those who have lost a parent (or parents.) If you feel that could be helpful, now or just some time in the future, I’d recommend this…Your mother sounds like such a rare, lovely, and wonderful person. I lost my best friend suddenly three years ago, and the immense pain over time has even given me some peace from it, reprieve…again, over time. My heart and hugs, and sorrow, and hope for your healing, goes out to you–as do my best wishes for you and all of your beloved affected by this loss.
@TGosha, sending you hugs and love and prayers. So very sorry for your loss.
@tgosha I’m so sorry for your loss. Hoping you feel encircled by love at this time and that you find peace.
May she rest in peace.
My sympathies, TGosha. So sorry for your loss. I wish I could help.
Tgosha, may God bless you and comfort you, I’ve lost both parents and sympathize with you.
TGosha, Happy Thanksgiving to you. My heart is sad hearing of your pain and loss, I wish I could help alleviate it somehow. I will think of you today while I am mothering my children and cooking our feast and send you loving thoughts throughout –
I imagine your own Mom is just loving down on her sweetheart (you) right now – especially as she loved Thanksgiving so much and put so much effort into showing her loved ones with her days of preparation and amazing food what you mean to her – I am so happy having my children and it sounds like your mom was sure aware of her blessing in you. Best wishes darling.
I’m so sorry.
I just wanna come to your mama’s house with you. She sounds Wonderful – I wish that I had such a special place…a real mama. (hugs). I know that your mother would want you to feel the holy and powerful love that she displayed. I’m sure that she cared that you notice – you are so lucky! You are LOVED!!!
Grief can be such a long journey when it’s someone so close. It sounds hollow to say that time does help. Lost both parents last year and I thought healing would never occur (and only recently feel it’s actually happening).
Hopefully those memories of what a kind person she was will bring you comfort. My best to you.
I’m so confused by what Union being married to an athlete or being beautiful has to do with calling out people for their white privilege. I also fail to see what it has to do with Nate Parker?
She spoke out at the time that the White actors were being a mess in public. It isn’t the same issue with this movie.
I suppose any excuse to derail the conversation.
Also, did she really “choose” to work with a rapist. When was the story actually made public? The moive had already been filmed or was in late production. The story coincided with the release of the movie.
She seemed surprised by it and talked about how much she hating talking about the fact that she was raped, so I didn’t sense that she was defending him, in fact, I think that she was angry that all of a sudden she had to talk about her assault in order to promote the movie. A waste since it apparently wasn’t that good and no one wanted to see it anyway.
I think that if there’s a link to be made, it’s that while it’s not fair to say that white supremacy sunk this film all by itself, it’s unfortunate that white supremacy may keep the actress she mentioned from getting work because women of colour don’t get second chances.
Let’s talk about the sexism in the assumption that a woman isn’t allowed to talk about sexism because she’s pretty or because of a man, because people always bring it up regarding her. I don’t defend everything she’s done, but let’s not pretend that the majority of the time, her looks are only brought up to tell her to shut up. People treat it as if she’s the only celebrity who is married to another celebrity.
Nate Parker is disgusting, but I can see the bind she was in since it looks like the allegations hit her like a freight train.
YES let’s be thankful and get fat while natives continue to fight for their heritage and people!
