You know you all want to go to this with me. Joan Collins is one of the 4 celebrities that I would have to break the New York “ignore the celebrity and keep cool” rule for if I saw her, so I might get a little nuts.

For instance, the Daily News Rush & Molloy column depicted Casey Greenfield as “a pretty, ginger-haired, Yale-educated lawyer who last March gave birth to [Jeffrey Toobin’s] love child.” Were they trying to list her attributes in ascending or descending order? (There’s only one correct answer.)

What’s really sad is how often that kind of description is used, and how little I even notice it unless it’s pointed out. I try to be conscientious of shit like that so I know most people don’t bat an eye. Excellent article that illustrates a lot of the media prejudices and biases against successful women.

Sometimes I like to think about what I would say to Madonna if we met, so I have something ready in the event that we’re, like, in an elevator together. I don’t think I’d be able to be charming or even normal on any level, though.
I’m pretty sure if I met Madonna, I would just babble and be unable to form sentences. She’s one of the 4 famous people who if I saw them somewhere I would lose my shit and not be able to even try to act cool, which breaks one of the cardinal NYC rules. Of course this would probably result in her getting annoyed and dismissing me, or having security take me away, so it’s probably for the best that I’ve never met her and most likely never will. Maybe next tour she’ll have some ridiculous $1000+ package where you can meet her, I’d have to write her a letter or whatever to avert the potential spaz attack.
"(Joan) Rivers will take the piss out of anything. Shortly after I had lost a big job, she called, and when I answered the phone a bit too quickly she said, “Really? The first ring? So desperate.” And then she hung up on me. A few days after 9/11, she called and asked me if I wanted to meet her for lunch at Windows on the Ground. She pushes as far as she can as soon as she can. It’s compulsive." →

This is the kind of article magazines need more of if they want to survive. An excellent profile that gives more depth and shade to its subject with a mix of humor and seriousness.
