Breaking news: A suspect has been detained in the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie.

If this were a movie, the “Justice” Department would offer Tyler Robinson a deal to claim his murderous radicalization as a flip to some bizarre far left doctrine in exchange for a secret lighter sentence, one that hides him away in a country club lockup to reward his cooperation.

Rooting for simultaneous strokes.

In the "You can't make this shit up" department, Pete Hegseth and his merry band of geniuses have flagged for removal from the Department of Defense website photos of the Enola Gay - the WWII plane that dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima. Why? Because it has "Gay" in the name, of course.

Thanks Gail! Cool!

Hi Gail! Small world! Wait a minute, I made the Channel 4 News?

From my son Dylan.

Fun fact of the day:

“Lisa Bonet ate no basil” is spelled the same way backwards.

I searched all over the internet today for the story about how the "hopelessly corrupted system for counting election votes" was somehow magically repaired during the last four years, but I came up empty. Seems to working perfectly now. Why, it’s a new year’s miracle!

Covering the Golden Globes one more time. Dressed up, mobbed up, ready to roll, baby!

If I were Santa, I’d be mighty pissed about the story placement.

Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr, earlier tonight. In their 80s now, grandpas - but remarkably still capable of rocking out together pretty hard. We still need them, and we’ll stilll feed them.

As close to a Beatles reunion as we’re ever gonna get. Savor it.

Oh my God. $9.99 for four pears at Trader Joe’s. Not exactly cheap but worth every penny. The greatest piece of fruit I’ve ever tasted. Impossibly juicy, flavorful and magnificent. Run, don’t walk, while they’re still in stock, (Note: Ray Richmond is not a paid spokesperson for the pear industry.)

Thank you so much to The New York Times for deeming my book "The Sopranos: The Complete Visual History" one of its 10 BEST BOOKS OF 2024!

Actually, this is a total lie. My book was voted no such thing. But please order it today at a $20 discount on Amazon, anyway.

'Qualifications? Rape, murder, arson, and rape. You said rape twice. I like rape.' - Blazing Saddles Hedley Lamarr: Qualifications? Applicant: Rape, murder, arson, and rape. Hedley Lamarr: You said rape twice. Applicant: I like rape.

Now I know why I'll never be chosen to run or represent a massive government agency or international embassy: I've never committed sexual assault or other random criminal acts.

Clearly, Mel Brooks was clairvoyant to today. Witness Hedley Lamarr's vetting process.

So let me see if I've got this straight.

Holiday Dining Tip: If you pop popcorn in hot oil in a stovetop pan, don’t accidentally leave any unpopped kernels on the floor.

P.S.: Ouch.

It’s called comedy, Sharon.

On the heels of my brilliant decision to pay $45 for a mediocre Thanksgiving pumpkin pie, I’m thinking today might be the perfect day to head to the mall to get a jump on my holiday shopping.

Probably deserted, I’m guessing.

I think I’ve found my Thanksgiving destination.

Try to think of it this way: we get a front row seat to watching the worst and most malicious person the United States has ever produced wielding more power than any single human in American history has ever possessed. What could possibly go wrong?

You wanted interesting times? You got ‘em.

Essential bumper sticker for every non-new Tesla on the road.

Me too.

We're only a week away from "When Tony Met Shemp: The Influence of Three Stooges Slapstick Violence on 'The Sopranos'" - my chat with the incomparable Burt Kearns as moderated by our pal Jeff Abraham. It's happening at Book Soup in West Hollywood on 11/30 at 2 PM.

November 22, 2024 “It all began so beautifully,” Lady Bird remembered.

The great Heather Cox Richardson quotes Lady Bird Johnson recalling what 11-22-63 was like. It’s positively chilling but fascinating.

Cher Doesn't Hold Back While Slamming Late 'Mask' Director Peter Bogdanovich: 'He Was a Pig' Cher revealed two directors she didn't like working with — Peter Bogdanovich and Frank Oz — in promotion of part one of her eponymous memoir.

I love the fact that Cher isn’t holding back while on her truth-telling, memoir-promoting media tour. They simply don’t make ‘em like her anymore.

I remember it well.
