Some of us 80s and 90s kids used to watch Boy Meets World religiously, following the stories of Cory, Topanga, Shawn, Eric and Mr. Feeny as they went from middle school to high school to college.

The Disney Princesses Were Younger Than I Thought
As you may know by now, I love Disney movies and I love talking and writing about them (see my posts on Disney Music is Everything and Disney Loves Single Parenthood and Princesses Who Make Piss Poor Decisions). And just because I’m a fan of them doesn’t mean I think they’re perfect. In fact, it’s [...]
Diane Warren Tweets Note About “True Greats” to Kanye West. WELP!
No one can love Kanye West as much as Kanye West loves Kanye West, and that is a gift. I mean, the man’s newest album is titled “Yeezus.” He clearly has high self-esteem and places himself on a giant pedestal only he can see. Who else could go onstage looking like a giant twizzler or a [...]

Hillary Clinton is Already Winning on Twitter
Hillary Clinton is now on Twitter, yall! And the lady is already rocking the place. Her bio is winning everything.

My Thoughts on ABC’s Newest Show ‘Mistresses’
Last night, Mistresses premiered on ABC, and it’s a remake of the original version, which was done in the UK and came on BBC. I haven’t watched that one though so this was fresh to me. I also didn’t read up about it nor did I watch previews so I wouldn’t go in with any [...]
