Lots of little bits of news, easily digestible even for those of you with gastrointestinal issues. (No lactose contained therein, but these news bytes may have been produced in a facility that also processes nuts. I guess you'll be the judge of that.)
Annual Most Powerful Women in Hollywood list again leaves me out. Oprah? Is she in Hollywood? Wasn't my living there for two weeks while I looked for an apartment enough? Sorry Angelina Jolie -- you can't be #1 on every list (you're at #24 on this one). Regular My Urban Kvetch search result Tina Fey comes in at #50, behind Tyra Banks, but ahead of Grey's Anatomy creator Shonda Rimes and Miley Cyrus, who should be on the "Not a Girl (Not Yet a Woman)" list instead. Glenn Close -- who made bunny-boiling look justifiable, and who brought some additional cache to The Shield before heading whole-hog into Damages -- as an honoree, ok, that's fair.
Speaking of Glenn Close, the heiress she portrayed in "Reversal of Fortune" opposite Jeremy Irons, Sunny von Bulow, died after a 28-year coma. Husband still claimed she was "only resting."
Speaking of "only resting," Monty Python invades the internet with a YouTube channel featuring great-quality clips from their archives, movies, and allows fans to create mashups etc. Check it all out at Pythonline. (via NYT)
Speaking of online life, the Baltimore Jewish Times notes that Jewish orgs are beginning to embrace 2.0 technology and attitude...probably just in time for Web 3.0...
And speaking of Jews online (and this is the last "speaking of," I promise!), if you read about the Forward 50 and wondered what your fellow Jews were thinking, you'll want to be reassured that there are at least 50 opinions of who should and shouldn't be on the list. I'd like to call your particular attention to this statement, which has to be my favorite comment I've ever seen on a Jewish website:
"You guys make me sick. In future, when people ask me “Why doesn’t Mashiach come”, I will send them this article."
