Blogger finds "panorama of pseudoscience" in Gwyneth Paltrow's new cookbook. | Knight Science Journalism Program at MIT - http://ksj.mit.edu/tracker...
John (bird whisperer), Mark H, Scoble, Alex Scoble and 4 other people liked this
""The enduring question that Paltrow’s book raises is why we continually buy into the junk advice of celebrity health promoters who have no specialization in health and everything to gain from us believing their claims." I know the answer to that one. It's because they are so good at presenting it. Celebrities become celebrities because a lot of people like them, or find them amusing, or find their work touching and profound. Celebs know how to tell a story and how to move people, and that works whether they are playing Shakespeare, Shakespeare in Love, or the role of a diet guru."

I don't know enough about Gwyneth Paltrow's nutrional knowledge to comment—I barely know anything about nutrition for myself. But I do know this: she named one of her children "Apple"...that should be enough to invalidate all of her opinions not written by professional writers for her to speak while a camera is filming her.

The first ones to come to my mind were Lamar Latrell (played by Larry B. Scott) in "The Revenge of the Nerds" and Hollywood Montrose (played by Meshach Taylor) in "Mannequin".
- Victor Ganata
Thinking back, the first character I specifically remember being gay was probably Jodie from Soap, though I barely watched that. I remember several characters from films where it was intimated, but not specified.
- Jennifer Dittrich
Mr Humphreys from Are You Being Served? is the first one I remember as being obviously (though never specified as) gay.
- Mark H
Showtime had a series about 3 brothers owning a bar, one was openly gay with boyfriend. been so long I can't remember name of show or character. Got it: "Brothers" 1984 - see wiki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki...

Wasn't Billy Crystal gay in the TV show "Soap?"
- Friar Ticket to Ride
Yes, he was. Soap. 1977

Either Soap or the characters from "Making Love". Oh wait Match Game, Charles Nelson Riley. Liberace? Jim Nabors, Gomer Pyle, but he wasn't out. And Rock Hudson, but again, not out. And what was the character's name on "That's My Mama?"

Mr. Humphreys. Or any of a number of Python characters from tv or film ("Do you want to go back to my place?" "I thought you'd never ask . . .")

I think the measure for age is percentage overhead. The more daily chores are necessary to keep your body and mind humming along, the older you are. When young you just pop out of bed, put on yesterdays clothes, eat whatever, and go about your day. When older, there's pills, teeth brushing, cleaning, physical therapy, and fretting, lots of fretting

- .LAG liked that
I think it's a multi-layered response. There's the whole "you wouldn't be celebrities without us, so we own you" angle that paints celebrities as assholes when they don't let paparazzi harass them, then there's the level where we don't normally treat male celebrities as badly as we treat female celebrities, and on the rare occasion we do, it becomes even more obvious how grotesque it is, because privilege is being violated.
- Victor Ganata

So it's kind of incidental that Hamm has always been sympathetic to the plight of actresses. It's just not the same until it's actually happening directly to you.
- Victor Ganata
from iPhone
I mean, I get what they're driving at, it just feels odd that it focuses on someone who has (at least when I've seen him in interviews) been fairly feminist in his sensibilities as opposed to another actor who has been wholly unsympathetic (because there are a lot.)

This is like late last year, there was a little joke about a Korean rapper and a hashtag about his dick. A few people started Tumblrs about it. A few weeks later, this one guy started writing diatribes about how terrible the Tumblr owners, rebloggers and likers were at this blatant objectification. Meanwhile, he had 6 Tumblrs dedicated to objectifying K-pop women idols, Korean actresses, and specific women. He said it was different because they dress that way to be objectified.
