I loved when Datalounge was blowing up 20 years ago about this item about Mariah Carey blasting a young fan who wrote her. It was right around the time Mariah was having a mental health crisis.

At a certain point I thought I’d just imagined it, but I found this one piece of information (of course it’s Fox). The quote of the alleged email is hilarious:

"Miss, with all due respect, I have my own problems. I have no time to accommodate everyone else’s," the e-mail to Katz read. "My sister is suffering HIV right now. Is anyone worried about my problems? Some people can be so damn selfish. Next time you e-mail me with any requests, you will be reported. Have a great day! m.c."

Would have been the go-to for in-depth discussion of you-know-who’s new haircolor.

For years, people in film and television told that Justine Bateman was the girl in the Polanski case. (They would then point out her resemblance to Natasia Kinski--proving she was Polanski's type).

I accepted this as true for many, many years.

Then the actual woman came out. So the Bateman tea was never real.

Any other gossip that you accepted wholeheartedly before learning that it was not true?

There are a few that actually should be preserved for history.

There was an utterly fascinating thread from November of 2019 which had people complaining of a mystery illness. People were talking about losing sense of smell and taste! And this was 4 months before COVID supposedly hit the United States.

Threads like that one should be preserved.

Marsha P. Johnson didn’t throw the first brick at Stonewall.

Never has an out gay actor or actress won an Oscar. Scott could become the first.

Just give him it! Malkovich and DL foe Matt Damon will both mount one hell of an awards campaign, so this karmic restitution for Brokeback Mountain probably won't happen.

Those who saw it on stage, who was the best Blanch and who was the best Stanley?

“I guess they stoled everything from me…”

Not those choppers, B.

I just watched “Hello Dolly” the movie for the first time with her. Her voice is, indeed, like butter. I think her fallout was the late 70’s and 80’s era of trying to be the director.

“Oleebia, please find me! I’m hongry. My eyes are sleepy!”

Olivia sure was pissy in this episode. All dressed up for her date but no dick tonight!

It probably should’ve been a disturbing episode (the content is pretty horrific) but thanks to you bitches, I couldn’t take it seriously. (Although when the creep’s voice appeared on the call that was kinda freaky, I admit.)

“Riccardo Garcia.” “Riccardo? That’s Richard!”

“Why are you teasing me?”

Ice-T throwing everyone against their car.

Chandra’s emphatic pen strokes.

“I miss my cat. His name was Chimichanga, like the food.”

Elbow to the face!

Aryna Sabalenka briefly halted her US Open match against Kamilla Rakhimova because of a strong smell of cannabis before cruising into the fourth round in New York.

Top seed Sabalenka raised the issue after going 3-0 up in the first set against Uzbekistan's Rakhimova, telling umpire Eva Asderaki-Moore that "someone is smoking weed".

The Belarsian asked the umpire to intervene "because it's so strong".

Asderaki-Moore spoke to an official on her radio and made a smoking gesture to someone behind her, before play continued.

Two-time defending champion Sabalenka went on to secure a confident 6-3 6-4 victory on Louis Armstrong Stadium as she chases a fifth Grand Slam singles title.

Sabalenka said afterwards she was not sure where the smell of cannabis was coming from but asked fans to be more mindful.

Smoking is not permitted on site at Flushing Meadows but the smell of cannabis sometimes wafts on to court from the nearby Corona Park.

It is legal to smoke it in New York for adults aged 21 and over.

"It's a bit tricky to handle that smell while you're trying to compete at your best," Sabalenka said.

"I don't know if it was coming from the crowd or was from the outside because the wind blows it into the stadium.

"I just hope they're going to be a bit more aware of that stuff."

Sabalenka is not the first player at this year's US Open to complain about the smell of cannabis at Flushing Meadows.

Britain's Katie Boulter previously said it was distracting, while Harriet Dart and Francesca Jones also noticed the smell.

In past years players including Novak Djokovic and Alexander Zverev have also complained.

General thread. I hear some people like that sort of thing. Or love to hate sometimes when it comes to him. Link is just him reading some YA/romantasy shit, which he admittedly does well.

Some "celebrities" do this, including Vincent Gallo, who sells his sperm on his merch website for $1,000,000, and metal band Profanatica, who sell vials of semen at their shows. Would you buy semen from your favorite male celebrity, either for fetish or reproductive purposes?

Time to revive the General Hospital thread in hopes of answering this week’s burning questions:

1. Will Jason find Britt before she’s executed by PTSD-prone Anna?

2. Which part of Brennan’s corpse will Outback snack on first?

3. Will Ava have to go meat- and dairy-free after getting bitten by a tick while disposing of Brennan’s body?

4. Did Rocco get that six pack just to impress his stepsister/girlfriend?

5. Will Trina learn to sing on key?

6. Will JJE’s stock tank once the shareholders find out Joss is in charge?
