Ricky Gervais is more than just a funny man and a brilliant writer. I’ve quoted him often, whenever someone attempts to redefine the world around them in their own way, instead of in the way it actually is. Â …

People would stop calling Lisa Kudrow the most talented cast member on Friends (Yeah, it’s this kind of blog!) because if you recall she tended to nearly crack up during funny scenes, breaking character, while Courteney Cox stayed true to Monica and was the most believable one of the bunch. …

A lot of people think Jian Ghomeshi will be found not guilty of sexual assault and overcoming resistance by choking. I think so too, but that doesn’t mean I think he’s innocent. …
Sometimes I get wistful about radio stations past. I miss the 680 News team, but they’re not even the same team anymore. People move on. Lives and careers change. …

If I ask you if you know who Fred Stoller is, you might say no. But I wouldn’t believe you. Because once you saw his face or heard his credits, you’d say, “Oh, THAT guy. HIs name’s Fred Stoller?” …

I never claimed I was up on my Lou Diamond Phillips news. I remember things about him from years ago, like how his first ex-wife Julie became Melissa Etheridge’s first “out” partner and that he loves to play poker. …

Lou Diamond Phillips had a few years in the glaring spotlight of fame before settling back into being a respected, working actor. He was propelled into our consciousness after he played Richie Valens in the movie La Bamba. His name rhymed with Blue Diamond Almonds, the brand of roasted nuts sold in impossibly tiny bags back then, so this is how we referred to him. …

Today is Bell Let’s Talk Day. It’s the thing I like best about the company I work for. Yes, it potentially makes them more money when you make a call or send a text today, but they’ll share that income with mental health facilities and programs. They don’t have to do it at all, but they do, and that’s worth something. …
Why do live productions have to be two-and-a-half hours with a 20-minute intermission? They don’t.

Until she suffered her first career loss in mid-November, Rowdy Ronda Rousey was considered invincible, at least to herself. The female side of pro UFC fighting was built on Rousey, an Olympic medallist in judo, and fighting machine. I can’t relate to her mindset or her ambitions but her autobiography, Rousey, is as compelling as any I’ve ever read. …
It doesn’t matter whether or not your childhood, or adulthood for that matter, included fantasies of fighting with light sabres or you ignored the phenomenon altogether. You’re still being forced by a Wookie to unwillingly absorb every nuance of (fake) life with Luke Skywalker. …
