Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there! (Especially ours!) Please read and enjoy:
– You need to read this, at the Hollywood Reporter: $40,000-a-Night Escorts: Secrets of the Cannes Call Girls. Yes. Exactly. (THR)
– Vulture put together The Ultimate Don Draper Pitch, in a piece I like to call OMG First Season Jon Hamm Is SOOOOOOOOOO Good-Looking. (Vulture)
– Exhibit L in the series The Internet Is So Weird (In a Good Way): Ryan Gosling Won’t Eat His Cereal. (Gosloving)

– Lainey and I agree that if the story about the Hemsworths intervening with Liam to dump Miley is true, we are kind of Team Miley. (Although I find the story about an actual anti-Miley intervention to be hilarious, theoretically. I like to think they had a PowerPoint, and it was ALL pictures from The Last Song.) (Lainey)
– Let’s look at some May brides throughout Royal History, shall we? (The Royal Order of Sartorial Splendor)
– Beyonce’s rider demands hand-carved ice balls. (Allegedly.) “Hand-Carved Ice Balls” is also the name of my new band. We are TOUGH. (Celebitchy)

– Did you enjoy the original Television Without Pity? (We sure did; it’s the entire reason Heather and I met, as we were coworkers there waaaaaay back in the good old days.) The brilliant minds behind TWoP: Original Flavor have a new site called Previously.TV and you should read it. (Previously.TV)

It’s a great cause, and we urge you to check it out! (eBay)
