Sarah Ferguson turns 60 years old on October 15th. Honestly? I thought she was older. I?m not age-shaming, I?m just saying that whenever I see photos of her, I think that she must not have worn sunscreen for years, not that she has great skin. But to hear Fergie talk, she?s paying thousands of dollars on her skincare regimen. That?s the focus of this absolutely bonkers Daily Mail interview, which is basically sponcon. At first, I thought it was a weird propaganda piece about Fergie?s birthday, but as I kept reading it, I became convinced that Fergie is being lowkey paid by this facialist/laser-treatment specialist to shill for this particular brand of laser-treatment. I wonder how much Fergie was paid? Some quotes from this bonkers DM piece:
Why Fergie looked so good at Eugenie?s wedding: ?The happiness was shining out of me because my daughter was getting married. I was so glad. I love Jack. When I?m passionate about anything, my eyes shine. Above all, it was being joyful for Eugenie that made me look good. But I?d had some laser treatment on my face which helped, too.?
The laser treatment: The woman behind the Duchess?s treatment is Polish-born Dr Gabriela Mercik, who at her Harley Street clinic, has just launched what she calls the world?s first 6-Dimension Ultimate Laser Treatment facelift. The Duchess and Dr Gabriela met in 1992 when Sarah was visiting young cancer victims in Upper Silesia, Poland. The doctor, then a medical student, was helping to treat them. They?ve stayed in touch. ?I?m very loyal to my friends,? says the Duchess. When Dr Gabriela moved into aesthetic medicine, and opened her clinic, firstly in Northern Ireland, and then in London, Sarah became one of her patients.
Fergie can barely sit through the 90 minute procedures: ?I live on jingly-jangly nerves. I?m very focused, earnestly intense, but I live at high speed. I don?t sit down for long. I?m always saying to Dr Gabriela: ?Come on, come on! Hurry up!? I?m the worst patient.?
Fergie prefers the lasers to Botox: ?I had Botox a long time ago when there was nothing else availableI really don?t like the frozen look. I?m so animated and I like to be myself. I don?t like the thought of needles and am very glad if I look well and happy.?
Fergie is also shilling for Dr Gabriela?s skincare range: ?Her serum (Aesthetic Magic Facelift Serum) is great for healing cold sores. Incredible. I?ve been her guinea pig with new treatments, too. I?m really happy to be open about what I?ve had done.?
What else Fergie had done: Sarah began having mesotherapy ? an injection of vitamins, minerals and amino acids under the face?s mesodermal layer to plump skin ? in 2013, then moved onto organic fillers, non-invasive injectables that fill out facial lines. Then, five years ago, Dr Gabriela proposed a thread lift. Also called ?a puppet lift?, this involves no knives. Instead, medical threads are inserted into the skin to create a supportive mesh that pulls the face upwards. The threads dissolve over six to eight months, but the results should last for two years. Dr Gabriela was one of the first to introduce the thread lift to the UK in 2013 and travels around the world teaching the procedure. ?It?s like garden trellising for sweat peas. You insert the threads under the skin with a fine needle and they hold everything up,? says Sarah.
But does Fergie pay for this stuff? Prices for the 6D laser lift start at 3,750. Sarah has and does pay for treatments ?at Dr Gabriela?s discretion,? given that they have become friends.
[From The Daily Mail]
?Sarah has and does pay for treatments ?at Dr Gabriela?s discretion.?? My lord. This is how Fergie ?pays? for years of (bad) cosmetic work: by doing highkey sponcon in the Daily Mail. I truly don?t care about laser treatments and all of that stuff some people swear by them, some people don?t see a difference. But if I was a cosmetic laser specialist trying to shill my special project, I would NOT want Fergie to be the face of the infomercial. Still, I hope Dr. Gabriela signed a big check to Fergie for this messy sponsorship. Or maybe it was like I said Fergie?s been getting so much free stuff that this is the way she had to pay back Dr. Gabriela.

Tamron Hall has a new talk show on CBS this season. I hope it?s good, because she got massively screwed over at NBC Hall was set to basically have her own hour of the Today Show and then NBC decided to hire white supremacist Barbie Megyn Kelly. Tamron got pushed aside and she walked away from the mess (and NBC looked terrible in the long run anyway). So, if you see a lot of Tamron Hall interviews this month, it?s because she?s shilling for her new show. Which is what this O Magazine piece is Tamron chatted with her good friend Gabrielle Union about becoming a mom later in life (both women welcomed babies in their 40s) and a lot of other stuff. Stuff like? whether black parents should let their kids believe in Santa Claus?
Union: You grew up in Luling, Texas?you?re a Black woman from the South. Do you ever feel like your experiences inform your parenting differently than it might other parents? Like, I?ll say to my husband, ?Let?s tell the kids their Christmas gifts are from Santa.? And my husband is like, ?Theres no way in hell Im letting these kids think that old white man is sneaking into our house and doing anything for them.? Because he didn?t grow up believing in Santa Claus. And we have these conversations when it comes to raising our children about where to draw the line between fantasy and ?Hey, that?s not how life works.?
Hall: 100 percent. Modern parenting is especially difficult for parents of color?we have to talk about not only ?Are we gonna say Santa exists,? but also ?Is Santa Black?? Again, this is exactly the conversation that we want to have on the show, because some families might not even realize this is a thing. So we want all perspectives. Something as simple as Santa Claus could cause a big debate, so why not have a conversation with real parents of all backgrounds talking about how they approach Santa Claus, and what race he is? It might sound small, but these are the everyday things we?re thinking about.
[From Oprah]
?Theres no way in hell Im letting these kids think that old white man is sneaking into our house and doing anything for them? made me LMAO. It?s? true though!! Are black parents really supposed to tell their children that there?s an old white dude with a big white beard, coming into their homes once a year and leaving them stuff? Why do white parents do that? It?s actually sort terrifying. Anyway, I had a white mom and an Indian father and they told me there was a Santa a white Santa. I wasn?t mad when I learned that he was fake, because I was a suspicious child anyway and the Santa myth didn?t make any sense to me. Perhaps I can even look back on it now and see that I was already wise to patriarchal fairytales.
As for ?is Santa black?? every year, there?s at least one ?Black Santa? story going viral, some of them heartwarming (Mall of America?s Black Santa and NOLA?s Chocolate Santa) and some of them not so much.

I?ve been seeing quotes from Sienna Miller?s Telegraph interview for days, but I never got around to caring, sorry not sorry. But that was before I knew she went Full ScarJo in the interview. If you remember, Scarlett Johansson is pretty sure she should be allowed to play ?any person or any tree or any animal.? What ScarJo meant at the time was that she should be able to play Japanese characters or transgender characters and NOT BE CRITICIZED for it. That?s the argument Sienna Miller made too, plus there was a weird Harvey Weinstein story.
On being able to play anyone or anything: ?I feel everybody should be able to play everybody. It seems absurd to me to start to legislate on creativity. That?s not trying to be insensitive ? of course, there are people who have a deeper understanding of experiences, and they should definitely be considered? It feels like liberal is becoming almost fascistic in its controlling of what can and cannot be done. It feels dangerous to me. If you started to restrict me to playing English women who went to boarding school at eight, I would give up.?
On Harvey Weinstein & Me Too: She says Me Too intersected unhappily with her own life. Miller revealed she used to call Harvey Weinstein Pops and said on some level she did this to deflect her suspicions about him. She said: Id go, Oi Pops, give us a job, and hed go, Ah, stappit. The actor, who worked with the disgraced film producer on numerous films including Factory Girl, also said no one ever propositioned her for work with sex, adding if they had she would probably have slapped them. She added that Weinstein did yell at her but that was just Harvey and she would brush it off as he spoke to men in the same way. I know that you couldnt say no to Harvey if he asked you to do something. For me, it would be, like, an extra week of press, so I imagine in a situation where its sexual, it would also be hard to say no, and thats crushing.
[From The Daily Mail]
There?s been a weird movement with actresses talking about their lowkey experiences with Harvey Weinstein in the past month or so. Renee Zellweger took pains to say that Harvey never did anything to her, and Jennifer Aniston said he only tried to bully her into wearing Marchesa. Now Sienna is saying that she called him ?Pops? and he never propositioned her or anything. I get that these women are being asked and they?re answering honestly. But it feels very much like ?look, he wasn?t raping and abusing EVERYBODY.? Which isn?t the fking point.
As for what she says about ?legislating on creativity,? baby girl can NOT play anything other than an English woman, so? I don?t know what she?s going on about. She can?t do any accent other than British, so it?s like she has to choose between ?Posh? and ?Cockney? and that?s her range. ?It feels like liberal is becoming almost fascistic in its controlling of what can and cannot be done.? Again, it?s not some huge liberal conspiracy to say that maybe cisgender peeps shouldn?t play transgender characters for awards. It?s not a huge liberal conspiracy to say that marginalized communities could use some genuine representation on-screen, rather than having ScarJo and Sienna Miller play every fking role.

For those of us who love all things Halloween, we know that Alyson Hannigan and her husband, Alexis Denisof are one among us. They rival Neil Patrick Harris and his family in costume dedication every year. Apparently, Alyson, like Neil, doesn?t stop at just costumes either, she decorates the house both inside and out. And because her daughters are a bit older now, she?s thrilled because she can go scary in her decorations. Wait, we were supposed to hold off until the kids were older?
I hear you?re very into Halloween as well
I?m very into Halloween, because I love crafting? I just go crazy, they look at me very strange
Hang on, there?s crafty and then there?s you. You?ve got the jumpy house coming out with the whole path coming down?
I do. Yes. So, this year I?m going to get a like a really, really big one that we need to put on the tennis court because it?s so big. But that?s up kind of up a long hill so I?m going to decorate the whole hill. And now that the kids are older, I can go really scary. Because it used to be, ?oh, here?s the happy pumpkins!? And now it?s like, ?yeah!? they?re into, just the gore ? although we do have this one butler decoration guy that we put in the bathroom and now my kid won?t use that bathroom.
The clip is below. I love how excited Alyson gets while talking about her plans. I think I know that butler decoration, too (there are a couple of versions). Bathrooms are a popular place for creepy Halloween figures to end up, btw. Alyson?s daughters Satyana and Keeva are 10 and seven respectfully, so they?re not that old. But no, I didn?t even wait that long with my own. For my daughter?s first Halloween, our theme was Pennywise?s Toy Shoppe. She was six months old, and her costume was Holly Horror, a murderous take on Holly Hobbie. I had her in a blood-spattered bonnet and apron and gave her a plastic butcher knife to chew on. It hasn?t really gotten better since. I remember my toddlers saying goodnight to the floating candelabra behind the cobwebs each night (I also remember what a bitch that thing was to rig). I think the goriest costume I, personally, went as was Annie Chapman to my husband?s Jack the Ripper. I?d studied what wounds he?d left on her and tried to get as close as I could. But I?ve never had a jumpy house. Screaming children, hopped up on sugar, jumping into each other until they throw up might be the scariest yet. And kudos to Alyson and Alexis because holding off on scary after spending all those years on Buffy the Vampire Slayer (and Angel) must have been hard. Alas, Alyson confirms that family costumes are a thing of the past with her kids, just like Jennifer Garner lamented. But we know Alexis will still play along with whatever Alyson has in mind. I can?t wait to see it.
The video is set to play at the 2:55 mark, which is where Alyson talks about her Halloween plans. It also shows her Halloween food display and spread and day-um! she?s upping the game. The first part of the clip is talking about the Lifetime movie Alyson is there to promote, Abducted: The Mary Stauffer Story. Trigger warning if you want to listen to their discussion or read about it, that story is horrendous and I?m just so glad those ladies are still alive and well.

Hope everyone has a safe and Happy Halloween!

I can?t decide which woman is the bigger mood: Gwyneth Paltrow in a sack dress with deep pockets, or Paris Jackson looking bored as hell beside her. This bizarre meet-up happened on the amfAR gala in LA last night. It didn?t look like that big of a gala, but Gwyneth and Paris were the biggest names there and so they posed together briefly on the red carpet. If this photo isn?t Peak 2019 Culture?
As for Gwyneth?s ensemble, this dress is Adam Lippes. It feels familiar, like we?ve seen this on her before, or perhaps we?ve seen a version of the dress on someone else. I actually kind of like it? It?s a sack dress with pockets and a cool pattern, basically. My only complaint is that the pockets seem too deep and Gwyneth keeping one hand in the pocket just lookswrong. Earrings by Bvlgari!
Here?s Paris Jackson with her boyfriend Gabriel Glenn. She looks utterly bored with him too.
And here?s Alexandra Daddario because I love this dress. It?s so ?90s!!

One of my favorite moments in Avengers: Endgame was *SPOILER* the big battle scene when all the main Marvel female characters assembled and carried the football to the endzone. It was awesome and no one knew it was going to be in the film (my only critique, Pepper Potts should have been in the back. Minor quibble, but still.) But for a lot of us who enjoy watching superhero flicks, those few minutes only whet our appetite. And we aren?t alone, Brie Larson confirmed to Variety that the actresses of the MCU want an all-women superhero film, too, and they?ve gone to the big boss, Kevin Fiege, to see if it can happen.
Long before the women of the Marvel Cinematic Universe joined forces for the epic female scene in ?Avengers: Endgame,? Marvel had expressed interest in an all-women Marvel mashup movie. But after uniting in battle in the finale of ?Endgame,? fans have been asking when they?ll see the female movie hit theaters.
Now, Brie Larson, one of Variety?s Power of Women honorees, confirms that she, along with her Marvel co-stars, have had talks with Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige about making that film a reality.
During a sit-down interview at her Power of Women cover shoot, Captain Marvel herself was asked if the female film has been ?truly discussed? among the Marvel brass.
?It is something,? she said with a pause, then adding, ?Well what do you mean truly discussed??
Larson was speaking to Variety senior correspondent Elizabeth Wagmeister, who followed up with, ?You tell me.?
?I will say that a lot of the female cast members from Marvel walked up to Kevin and we were like, ?We are in this together, we want to do this,? Larson explained. ?What that means, I have no idea. You know, I?m not in charge of the future of Marvel, but it is something that we?re really passionate about and we love and I feel like if enough people out in the world talk about how much they want it, maybe it?ll happen.?
[From Variety]
As I said, I love superhero movies (sorry Marty!), but I didn?t read comics as a kid. So I have no idea what the story for all the women would be. I read some of the A-Force comic books when that came out, but that wouldn?t be a seamless fit for the current Avenger characters. So my hope is that they find a way to make an all-female script work and not just shoehorn it in. I?d go see it anyway because I?m trying to support female led efforts, but I hope I?m entertained by it.
Plus, the men of the MCU seem to support the women. But did this conversation happen? Or, as Elizabeth Wagmeister asked, was it ?truly discussed?? My guess is no. I believe Brie, of course, and I believe she and her female co-stars went to Fiege to let him know they?d like one, but I think that?s as far as it went. I?m sure Fiege wrote it on the whiteboard, but not at the top and probably with a bunch of question marks after it. I won?t be holding my breath. However, I love that the women stood a united front presenting it. I love that they were so excited by their scene that they ran to the boss and said they wanted to do much more of that. The talent is there, if Marvel can put a story together, they?ll make that sucker pop. I hope it happens. Their scene in Endgame was a great moment. I want to feel that again.
