Who are these people? Unless Gillian can speak to the dead, the Iron Lady shuffled off this mortal coil in 2013.
God I need some brandy in my coffee this morning…
Lol. The digital age has really done a number of what’s considered acceptable in journalism. It all started going awry when newspapers stopped hiring copy editors.
It’s so weird because we have more and quicker access to information than ever before, but I guess if it didn’t show up on Instagram, it didn’t happen at all.
Ding dong the witch is dead charted right after, and people around the UK celebrated.
I would have said, yes. I held a seance and spoke to her.
LOL!!!
Great response!
Isnt that what Helena Bonham Carter did for her Margaret role?
Yes! I found an article!

So Bella’s “making smoking cool again”? I wonder if she can make it cool to get cancer – that would be something.
i was stoned as f-k earlier (still am, i have chronic pain and ptsd so i’m stoned as f-k a lot) and started staring vacantly at the packaging on my nicotine vape carts (disclaimer: i rarely use these and vaping is not cool or that much less shitty for you than regular smoking, it’s just the lesser of 2 evils when you cant 100% quit) and all i could think of is “Nicotine…kind of sounds like it could be a one of those bougie celebrity kid names…except for the connotations…but we live in a literal dystopia, so maybe one day?”
if in 2051 we’re talking about someone called Nicotine (Nicotina?) on this site or sites like this…. i want my stoner thoughts cited.
also if this isnt a trend already (i mean people get tattoos to this effect already) then i’m expecting #ad celebrity baby names. like instead of instagram sponsored posts prepare for pre-named babies.
yep i’m calling it now. but i’m too stoned to think of a funny example, someone help
This woman really must be a moron. And you would never know it from watching her perform as an actress.
Are you saying that Gillian Anderson is a moron??? I thought she showed amazing restraint in her response. I’ve never seen any evidence that she’s anything less than intelligent, thoughtful, and prepared (unlike that bona-fide idiot “reporter”).
????
I don’t think you read the story.
“Was Nicole Byer the Emmys Best Dressed?” 100% YESSSSSSS. She was breathtaking!
Yes she was. She was stunning in the best possible way.
That Texas Dr is getting sued…by a former tax lawyer from Arkansas. Who is currently serving house arrest for tax fraud or something. He says he’s suing the Dr for the same reason that Dr dared someone to do it. So the law will work it’s way through the courts and it can be determined if it’s legal or not. Because he’s for the constitution and believes this law is wrong. So these 2 guys are doing the Supreme Court’s job. Still, a convicted tax lawyer from Arkansas…
It’s up to two lawsuits now. Both suits were filed by disgraced, disbarred attorneys from out of state—one from Arkansas (who says he’s doing it for the money bc he’s broke from the fallout of being disgraced and disbarred, but if he loses bc the law is unconstitutional that would also be a win), and one from Illinois (who’s goal is to lose bc, yes, the law is unconstitutional).
The Supreme Court and their shadow docket of doom failed to protect our constitutional rights, so our current hope is two folks who were booted from the profession.
I thought this was a Twitter joke! But they really asked her. Goodness me.
so im a younger millenial (30) and sites like celebitchy are the most hooked-in to UK politics and political history (which i got all of from watching “The Crown” thus bringing ~ THE FEARS THAT THE YOUNGER GENERATION WILL TAKE THIS AS FACT ~ into fruition…unless you count my extensive bingeing of WW2 propaganda footage and history documentaries to be politically relevant) that i get.
i really only vaguely remember MT died in 2013 because i had a vague flashback to people celebrating her being dead on social media. like for a quick second i thought this story was confusing, because i wasnt SURE i remembered if MT was dead or not…
with this in mind, i want to know the age of the reporter who asked her this.
on the other hand, i’m not the one who is supposedly a “journalist” in this scenario
Love Jennifer Connolly. She looks healthier than usual. Making the big bucks by wearing ugly LV.
Yes she looks good, but that dress, yeesh.
I love Nicole Byer. She should have won the Emmy!
