The Divine Miss M
"Mike & Molly" star Melissa McCarthy is anything but a drag as Divine in Entertainment Weekly's comedy issue. I've never seen her sitcom -- and thought her "fat chick" character in "Bridesmaids" was a bit much (most thought she was the best part) -- but I still totally love her. Next up for the Emmy winner is Judd Apatow's "This Is 40" -- a "follow through" to "Knocked Up" -- which sounds right up my ally.
NYC Subway System Turns 107 Today!
The Metropolitan Transportation Authority reminds us that New York City's subway system began 107 years ago today, when "the first subway train rolled north of the old City Hall Station on October 27, 1904." I'm a HUGE fan of the subway -- I actually prefer it to cabs in almost all situations (faster) and use it so often that I get car sick whenever I have to ride in a taxi (bad drivers and NYC traffic don't help) -- and don't anticipate ever buying another car again in my lifetime. New Yorkers frequently like to bitch about the trains -- "the 1 is the worst!" -- but I honestly can't imagine life without it. Happy birthday!
