And he nailed it! OK, so 'Make 'em Laugh'...

In the Midwestern heartland, police are encountering a new social evil: trafficking, often involving women and children who are forced to work as prostitutes or unpaid labour; and the outcomes can be brutal.

I was feeling a little guilty after that whole "ohhh I love Gene Kelly, he's the dancing man for me" debacle, so I'm here to re-claim my love for Fred Astaire and convince everyone else of it, too. Born in 1899, Fred began working a show business at the age of 5 with his older sister Adele. His first screen test noted, "Can't act. Can't sing. Slightly bald. Dances a little." Honestly,...

The Gap is suddenly on a Glee-ful mission to remind us it still exists with their first television campaign in over two years. “Go Christmas! Go Hanukkah! Go Kwanzaa! Go Solstice???!” Stop trying to make “Go Solstice” happen! It’s not going to happen. I’d light everything I ever purchased from the Gap since 2000 on

Though Meredith has been holed up for the past few weeks owing to her liver surgery (i.e., Ellen Pompeo's maternity leave), we realize we haven't missed her all that much — and neither, apparently, has anyone else. Nevertheless, she's back this week, hanging out in the Seattle Grace-Mercy West hallway, pontificating on the "past coming back to bite her in the ass." Appropriately enough,...

In my attempt to bring back the '80s (I don't think I ever mentioned this, but I will now: I'm trying to induce an '80s redux), I've been breaking out the leg warmers. They make me feel a little kitty-ish but it's okay, as it's all in the name of the eighties. I've been rewatching (for about the hundredth time each) the John Hughes classics (uhm, Breakfast Club, Pretty in Pink, Sixteen Candles, Ferris...
