Well, here we are. Over the hump and safely into a big Thursday. We lost James Van Der Beek in the process, which was just such a huge bummer, but we have to move forward.
He was a good one. A lot of these Hollywood people seem like good people, but they're really awful when the cameras aren't on.
I had to serve Robert De Niro once on a beach on Nantucket. He's the worst. Drew Barrymore, on the other hand? Sweet as pie. She might be nuts now, but she's still authentic behind the scenes. At least she was a decade ago.
I feel like James Van Der Beek was the same way. By all accounts, he seemed like a genuinely good guy. A husband. A father. A good person. And he was only 48. Just brutal. Let's have a good class today for the gunslinger under center.
Welcome to a ThursdayNightcaps– the one where Maggie Sajak gears up for Valentine's Day in the most diabolical dress this side of the Mississippi.
What else? I've got bisexual Olympian Breezy Johnson lecturing straight white people (what a time to be alive), Mets girl Simone Eli has reported to camp, and poor Gavin Newsom was tossed aside like a ragdoll by his lunatic wife yesterday. Tough scene. Just emasculating stuff.
Grab you a water to celebrate Abraham Lincoln's 217th birthday, and settle in for a Thursday 'Cap!
True story, by the way. Whenever some obscure figure comes up on my birthday list, I look up his or her favorite cocktail. It usually leads me down a wormhole. Like theBabe Ruth breakfastone from last week.
Anyway, I looked up Abe's favorite drink on what would've been his 217th birthday today, and he just liked … water. That's it. Just water. I realize the options back then were more limited than they are today, but still. This dude was ALL business.
He's also quoted as once saying that he didn't like alcohol because it made him feel "flabby and undone."
