I’d Give an Emmy to Jessica Chastain’s Game of Thrones

September 22, 2019 by WendyB

The 2019 Emmys just ended with the award for Outstanding Drama Series going to Game of Thrones, reminding me that — before the show’s disappointing final episodes in April — actor/producer Jessica Chastain Instagrammed a video of herself trying to squeeze some pre-finale Game of Thrones spoilers out of her X-Men movie co-star Sophie Turner,…

Blonde Machination: Taylor, Miley, Game of Thrones

August 27, 2017 by WendyB

I’m glad I managed to publish Thursday’s blog post a couple of hours before Taylor Swift’s new single was released.  I stand by my praise of Swift’s matter-of-fact testimony against a sexual harasser who had the nerve to sue her for complaining about his bad behavior.  It’s too bad that she didn’t set those statements…
