[Pictured: the star of He Nose Too Much; photo by Sean Edgar] Are we actually still talking about this coming Sunday’s Oscars? Boring. They are already old news. The oldest of news.

Except herself. She could probably replace herself so well that Tony the Tiger (whom she dated) wouldn’t be able to tell the difference. Here are some of the things she has done way better than you:...  read more
