The other day Blake Lively reportedly went off on a reporter who asked her who she was wearing at the Variety’s Power of Women Event. According to Variety the Gossip Girl told the reporter, “Are we really doing this? Would you ask a man that?.” Then she added, “…become more aware, and that we change, and that we build a women up. So, you can ask me another question.”
Yet yesterday, she posted photos from the event on Instagram and made sure to mention everyone she was wearing. If she didn’t want answer fashion questions, then you can’t go on Instagram and post all of that information. It makes your point null and void. Makes you look like a hypocrite. Don’t you agree?
I don’t care who someone wears, but other people do. If you are going to walk a red carpet, no matter which one, then you are going to be asked that question and you are expected to answer. It takes 10 seconds, just answer it. I just think it is a stupid thing to make a stance over, especially when it is a given.
When you are a celebrity of her status, people are going to want to know who she’s wearing, what she thinks about her husband Ryan Reynolds, how are the kids, will there be a Gossip Girl reunion and when are we going to get a a third installment of The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. The rest is just a few lines in a story, if that! She should know this by now, especially since she grew up in a Hollywood family. In other words, I think she needs to get over yourself!
Erin Moran passed away today at the age of 56 according to ABC News.
The actress is best known for playing Joanie Cunningham on Happy Days and its spinoff Joanie Loves Chachi. Even though she spent most of her childhood acting, she did not do that much of it after her iconic role ended. Moran’s biggest role after those shows was Celebrity Fit Camp: Boot Camp. Although she wasn’t acting, she was still appearing at conventions and even attended the RetroRama this past November looking as happy as ever.
Some of her costars paid their respects to her on Twitter. Henry Winker aka The Fonz said, “OH Erin… now you will finally have the peace you wanted so badly here on earth …Rest In It serenely now.. too soon.” Ron Howard remember his TV sis with, “Such sad sad news. RIP Erin. I’ll always choose to remember you on our show making scenes better, getting laughs and lighting up tv screens.” Don Most aka Ralph Malph honored her with, “So incredibly sad to hear about Erin. A wonderful, sweet, caring, talented woman.I can’t really comprehend this right now.Very painful loss.” Anson Williams told KABC’s George Pennacchio, “Erin was a person who made everyone around her feel better,” adding, “She truly cared about others first, a true angel. I will miss her so much…she is in God’s hands.” Long time friend and Celebrity Fit Club: Boot Camp teammate Willie Aames posted, “RIP to my old colleague and childhood friend ERIN MORAN. So Saddened to hear you have passed.”
When I was seeking out clips to post of her from Happy Days, the one that popped up is the one that is one of the reasons why I started smoking. Joanie was a nerd before she smoked and then she was cool when she did. That message stuck with me and few years later I started smoking (yes I started at young age), not realizing until years later, when I quit, that that episode and Grease played a big part in me smoking. The point of that story is that is how much Erin Moran meant to me when I was growing up and how sad her death is making me right now.
Let’s not remember her with sadness, let’s remember her with joy by watching videos of her as he role that made her a household name.

We know that Rob Lowe is finger licking good, and now so does Kentucky Fried Chicken. That is because KFC has made him their new Colonel Sanders! I never imagined him in the role, but you know what he is perfect for it. So much better than Norm MacDonald, but then again who isn’t.
La La Land was good, but not good enough to be Oscar’s Best Picture. Too soon?
Anyways, what would’ve made it better is if there was more singing and less talking. Yesterday on The Late Late Show, James Corden and Anne Hathaway did a music version of a RomCom and it should be next year’s Best Picture. Only problem is that it is just over 5 minutes long. Yet, those 5 minutes are better than any 5 minutes of most movies!
Sometimes I am holding out for a hero, but I find I am all by myself. Then something like this got what I need and I would walk 500 miles and I would walk 500 more just to be the woman who walked a thousand miles to fall down at your door and thank you for this brilliant jam! Can I just say, I’m, I’m so in love with you! Bravo, bravo!!!
