Jay-Z is a jealous little bitch who wouldn't let Sean Paul onstage with his girl at the VMAs.

― Texas, Biyatch! (thatgirl), Monday, 8 September 2003 14:15 (twenty-one years ago)

I think he was more jealous of her being onstage with the Queer Eye Guys, he wanted a little bit of that action for himself.

The woman who plays Allysa Milano's boss on "Charmed" played Billy Crystal's gay character's female lover on "Soap." Katherine Helmond, who was the star of "Soap," also starred in the sitcom "Who's the Boss," which also starred Allysa Milano. So Allysa Milano and her "Charmed" boss WERE ALREADY CONNECTED THROUGH KATHERINE HELMOND FROM WHO'S THE BOSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In the 1996 film Surviving Picasso, starring Anthony Hopkins as the great Modernist genius, the filmmakers were refused the copyright to any Picasso painting by the painter’s estate (since they intended to portray Picasso true to life: as a callous misogynist). Forced to use imitations of all his works in the movie, the film is littered with desperate simulacra of Picassos as even identical copies were prohibited.

Pigs can't sweat. Their flesh isn't pourous. They roll around in mud & whatnot (aka "rooting") to cool their flesh when they're hot. Thus the phrase "sweating like a pig" is totally preposterous!

Mine, RJG? It really is! It's one of those things I thought of when I was a teenager, looked it up, and etc. The "no sex before marriage" thing is a common cultural rule, like "use a napkin" or "please wear pants" -- but there's no real Biblical basis for it.
