All together now: “I’m Really Rosie, and I’m Rosie Real/You’d better believe me/I’m a great big deal/Belieeeeeeeeeeeve me/Belieeeeeeeeeeeve me… I’m a star from afar off the ocean coast/Beat that drum, make that toast/For Rosie the Most….”
Getting a little choked up over here.

SAD. Meow, the 39-pound obese cat from New Mexico, has died. In a statement posted on Facebook, the Santa Fe humane society said: “I am devastated to share with you that the respiratory distress that Meow was experiencing last week (the reason we did not do his weigh-in) took his life at 4:30 p.m. on Saturday, May 5.”

RIP, Meow. You may not have been the skinniest cat, but you were certainly one of the fattest.
:(

“Yeah, we’re friends,” she says of Murphy. “Just two very friendly people, the kind of friends that don’t really have a got-to-see-you, got-to-have-you kind of relationship. Because of my career and his career - I’m here and he’s there; I’m there and he’s here - it’s hard to establish a relationship. Even when you have two people who have the money, the fame and the same kind of status. It’s the time factor - having the time to establish a relationship and to try to keep it.”
Whitney says she was introduced to Murphy by Arsenio Hall (“Arsenio is my buddy. We have a different kind of closeness than Eddie and I.”) about three years ago, and “We’ve been dating ever since.” But, she admits, there are times when she does not want to even think about Eddie Murphy. “Like with any man, he can get on your nerves,” she says. “Forget about the other stuff. He’s still just a man!”
Whitney says she prefers to date men with a sense of humor “who know the Lord” and “who know who they are” and can just be themselves. “Basically,” she says, “if you put Whitney Houston aside, what you’ll find is a woman. You put Eddie Murphy aside, you’ll find a man. You put Arsenio aside, you’ll find a man. All that other stuff is just the gravy’ we have become. But before we were this, we were humans. People. That’s the bottom line.”“

"I try to curb these feelings by reassuring myself with a rotating assortment of pep talks, some of which can temporarily seem to work. One of them goes: “a rising tide floats all boats!” Another one goes: “put your head down and do your work. No one can be better than you are at being you. “ Above all, I try to convince myself that the idea that there are limited opportunities available to women is a big fat lie that the men who control most culture industries would love to have us believe, so we’ll keep ourselves occupied getting into Twitter wars instead of making art. There are as many spots available as we create for ourselves."

Sorry I’m not sorry for getting Emily drunk-ish during Mad Men last night, because this is really great.

What is the point of working at BuzzFeed if you can’t have corgis explaining the Final Four?

"(For the record, I didn’t find this rebuttal at Buzzfeed to be much more productive—it’s essentially the equivalent of “Neener neener, well your penis is small and dumb!” Great, now we have two shamey, reductive articles instead of one!)"
Hey Ladies: Be Better at Sex, Dummies!
That, uh, wasn’t what I was going for, but okay.
