The only reason you people are romanticising the idea of another global pandemic is because you don’t think the people that are going to die will be you and yours.
Foolish, short-sighted idiots.
Jane Fonda pays tribute to her former husband, Ted Turner:
“He swept into my life, a gloriously handsome, deeply romantic, swashbuckling pirate and I’ve never been the same,” Fonda wrote on Instagram. “He needed me. No one had ever let me know they needed me, and this wasn’t your average human being that needed me, this was the creator of CNN, and Turner Classic Movies, who had won the America’s Cup as the world’s greatest sailor. He had a big life, a brilliant mind and a soaring sense of humor."
“He could also take care of me. That was new as well. To be needed and cared for simultaneously is transformative. Ted Turner helped me believe in myself. He gave me confidence. I think I did the same for him, but that’s what women are raised to do. Men like Ted aren’t supposed to express need and vulnerability. That was Ted’s greatest strength, I believe."

Meryl Streep says that Anne Hathaway told ‘THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA 2’ producers that “alarmingly thin” supermodels should not appear in the movie.
“I was struck by how not only beautiful and young — everyone seems young to me — but alarmingly thin the models were [at the Milan Fashion Week]. I thought that all had been addressed years ago. Annie clocked it too, and she made a beeline to the producers about it, securing promises that the models in the show that we were putting together for our film would not be so skeletal! She’s a stand-up girl.”
