Kanye West Will Reportedly Appear on Netflix's 'My Next Guest Needs No Introduction' with David Letterman Kanye West Will Reportedly Appear on Netflix's 'My Next Guest Needs No Introduction' With David Letterman popculture.com/streaming/2019/01/20/kanye-west-reportedly-appear-netflix-my-next-guest-needs-no-introduction- david-letterman By Daniel S. Levine - January 19, 2019 Letterman filmed an episode at the Nate Holden Performing Arts Center in Los Angeles on Monday. Ticket-holders were not told who Letterman's guest would be, but sources for Vulture said it was West. Thank you @1iota I really can't believe I started the year by sitting in a room with 3 legends... David Letterman, Kanye West and Kim Kardashian..just wow pic.twitter.com/ybwT6cRrfJ — GutTheBih (@Trev76999044) January 18, 2019 Vulture's sources said Letterman and West's conversation included a portion on mental health, a subject close to both of them. Letterman has been open about his battle with depression since 2012, while West talked about his mental condition frequently in 2018. West's 2018 album Ye included the message "I hate being bi-polar, it's awesome," but during his infamous Oval Office meeting with President Donald Trump, he claimed he "actually wasn't bipolar," but instead "had sleep deprivation." In several tweets this past December, West claimed he was "free" from his medications and compared his mental state to how he felt while recording My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. "I’m loving the new music I’ve been working on. 6 months off meds I can feel me again. Remember when dark fantasy came out I used to tweet a storm also," West tweeted on Dec. 15. West's openness about his mental health earned praise from Saturday Night Live comedian Pete Davidson, who has also been open about mental health issues. "Bravo Kanye West for standing up for yourself and speaking out against mental health," Davidson wrote in a now-deleted Instagram post . "I can't explain to you enough how difficult and scary it is to be honest about stuff like this. We need people like Kanye. No one should ever point fingers at you for your bravery in speaking about mental health. I'm seriously disgusted." According to Zinoman's 2017 Letterman biography, the comedian went into a deep depression after his 2009 scandal, when a producer tried to blackmail him after learning about Letterman's affair with an assistant. 1/3 The first season of My Guest Needs No Introduction included interviews with Tina Fey, George Clooney, Jay-Z and former President Barack Obama. The show was renewed for a second season in December. Photo credit: Getty Images Start the Conversation 'You' Season Finale Offers up Wild New Theory About Beck's Fate By Stephen Andrew - March 15, 2019 The You Season 1 finale offered up a wild detail about Beck's fate, and some fans might have missed it. Please Note: Spoilers Ahead for You Season 1 As first reported by Glamour, the clue comes during the very last scene of Season 1 when Joe Goldberg's (Penn Badgley) ex-girlfriend Candace (Ambyr Childers) suddenly appears and Joe is noticeably shaken. The book-store-manager-by-day, stalker-by-night then addresses her by saying, "Candace. You're..." but Candace interjects by saying, "alive?" This is notable, the theory suggests, because it implies that Joe believed Candace to be dead, and she clearly knew that he thought that, which means that something potentially fatal must have happened between them. Earlier in the series, Candace appears to Joe in an hallucination and asks him if Beck (Elizabeth Lail) — the unfortunate newest object of Joe's desire — will "end up" like she did. This too implies some kind of death. Well, it seems that there is now a thought that Beck may also not actually be dead, since her body was never actually shown. When the "Beck's Dead" montage rolled at the end of the episode, her body was implied to have been inside a black bag. Some fans are convinced that it's possible Joe did not succeed in killing Beck or Candace, for that matter — and that the character could turn up again in the future. In confirmed You news, You showrunner Sera Gamble previously revealed that The Haunting of Hill House actress Victoria Pedretti had been added to the cast for the new season. She will be playing a character named Love Quinn 2/3 Gamble went on to speak to EW about why Pedretti was chosen for the role, saying that the actresses incredible performance in Hill House was the main reason why. “It is very f—ing cool that Victoria is playing this role,” Gamble said. “I binged Hill House, and she was incredible. And then a couple of days later, [You executive producer] Greg [Berlanti] sent an email asking, ‘Have you seen Hill House? Have you seen Victoria Pedretti, wouldn’t she make a perfect Love?’ Leave it to Greg to put that together.” The showrunner also shared some details about the character Pedretti is playing, stating that, "like her name," Love Quinn is "very warm and there is a carefree aspect to her spirit that really comes from the fact that she has constructed a life for herself that’s about being in the moment and doing what she loves every day." "In that way, she’s very very different than the woman that you got to know in season one, Beck, who was ambitious and driven as a writer and also as a young person in a social circle that had a certain kind of status," Gamble continued. "Beck had been quite aware of her social media presence, and Love is extremely disinterested in all of that.” Photo credit: Netflix Start the Conversation 3/3.

  • ABSTRACT the Women of Supernatural: More Than
    ABSTRACT The Women of Supernatural: More than Stereotypes Miranda B. Leddy, M.A. Mentor: Mia Moody-Ramirez, Ph.D. This critical discourse analysis of the American horror television show, Supernatural, uses a gender perspective to assess the stereotypes and female characters in the popular series. As part of this study 34 episodes of Supernatural and 19 female characters were analyzed. Findings indicate that while the target audience for Supernatural is women, the show tends to portray them in traditional, feminine, and horror genre stereotypes. The purpose of this thesis is twofold: 1) to provide a description of the types of female characters prevalent in the early seasons of Supernatural including mother-figures, victims, and monsters, and 2) to describe the changes that take place in the later seasons when the female characters no longer fit into feminine or horror stereotypes. Findings indicate that female characters of Supernatural have evolved throughout the seasons of the show and are more than just background characters in need of rescue. These findings are important because they illustrate that representations of women in television are not always based on stereotypes, and that the horror genre is evolving and beginning to depict strong female characters that are brave, intellectual leaders instead of victims being rescued by men. The female audience will be exposed to a more accurate portrayal of women to which they can relate and be inspired. Copyright © 2014 by Miranda B. Leddy All rights reserved TABLE OF CONTENTS Tables

  • Never Forget | Page 1
    Never Forget | Page 1 Never Forget By: Jack Greiner on November 13, 2018 on graydon.law This post is admittedly out of my lane. It’s not about a legal issue or the law even. But I can’t stop watching this clip from the November 10 broadcast of Saturday Night Live. As many readers likely know, in the November 3 broadcast of SNL, Pete Davidson made a dumb joke about Republican Congressional candidate Lt. Commander Dan Crenshaw’s eye patch. Never a great idea to make fun of a person’s missing eye, but especially given that Crenshaw lost the eye to an IED while on active duty in Afghanistan. Davidson was, to put it mildly, ripped on social media, and any number of outlets. But the guy who had the real beef – Lt. Com. Crenshaw took it in stride. So much so, that he appeared on the November 10 broadcast to accept Davidson’s apology. I watched the very first broadcast of SNL in October of 1975 and I’ve watched it off and on ever since. This may be my favorite moment for a number of reasons: 1. Davidson’s apology was sincere. I’m sure he was under pressure to do it, but there was no “if I offended anyone” qualifications. He said he made a poor choice and he took full responsibility; 2. It was funny. Lt. Com. Crenshaw has tremendous timing. When his cell phone ring tone played an Ariana Grande song and he asked Davidson “do you know her?” I almost fell off my chair.

  • Borderline Personality Disorder: Destroying Stigma and Promoting Normalization”
    Gilbert 1 Logan Gilbert AP English 12 Mrs. Kirkpatrick January 12, 2020 “Borderline Personality Disorder: Destroying Stigma and Promoting Normalization” “BPD isn’t a real psychological disorder. It's basically a way for a shrink to say “sorry ​ you’re clinically an a**hole” [Appendix A]. The social media platform allows for public vocalization of derogatory and dehumanizing comments that perpetuate stigmas surrounding controversial mental illnesses such as borderline personality disorder (BPD). Media platforms, like Twitter, are whirlpools of blasphemous quotes (as shown above), which reinforce stigmatizing stereotypes misconstrued with mental illnesses, furthermore, misleading public conceptions concerning borderline personality disorder. The psychological definition of borderline personality is “an illness marked by an ongoing pattern of varying moods, self-image, and behavior”(NIH). “People with borderline personality disorder may experience intense episodes of anger, depression, and anxiety that can last from a few hours to days” (“Borderline 2”). The National Alliance of Mental Illnesses (NAMI) appallingly reports, an “estimated 1.4% of the adult U.S. population experiences BPD” (“Borderline 1”). Furthermore, meaning that approximately 4.6 million adults who suffer from mood shifts, anxiety, and depression, are also forced to combat the demoralizing stereotypes manifested in modern media and film. This, however, excludes the undiagnosed population, who endures opprobrium (harsh criticism) without the support of trained doctors and nurses. Psychiatrists Biskin and Paris give professional incitement concerning BPD diagnosis, elucidating the fact that “borderline personality disorder can be a difficult diagnosis because of similarities to other conditions, particularly mood disorders'' (Biskin and Paris). In general practice, accurate diagnoses are seen “in 10% of psychiatric outpatients, 20% of psychiatric inpatients, and 6% of family medicine patients” (Biskin and Paris).
