    “Empowering” lost all meaning for me years ago — in the wake of a prolonged thread on Jez about the feminist power of Spanx.

      Spanx caused me to believe I DID deserve to vote!

      Yeah, for me, the word has been poisoned for a good five years or more- it’s hard for me to see how people with access to all the best publicists wouldn’t be in the know as to all the high caliber eye rolls “empowering!” brings about.

    “It’s really cool to work with a director who’s done so much, because he knows exactly what he wants,” Lively said.”

    Well. She’s not completely wrong. He does know what he wants.

      Fortunately for Lively, she’s too old for him.

    First of all, I think she should be ashamed of herself.

    But.

    I havent really noticed Steve Carell getting much shit. Or Eisenberg. Do we just expect women to take a stand against rich child molestors?

      THIS. I hate Woody as much as the next person, but the only people who are getting picked on for being in his movies are lady-folk: Kristin Stewart, Cate Blanchett, and now Blake. How ‘bout some vitriol for the dudes still working with this creepy goblin?

      Steve, man, I am disappoint.

    I wish female actors would stop elevating this asshole to some god status because he writes (some) meaty roles for women. He wrote one great role for a woman but most of his female roles are not great for women but meaty for female actors who usually have nothing but bones to work with. It’s absolutely not the same thing!

      Is that great role the same one that he has been using over and over for like 40 years? :p

    I’m not sure there’s a more appropriate publication for a Blake Lively interview than Hamptons Magazine.

      Hamptons Magazine sounds like the kind of vanity/advert circle-jerk publication The Real Housewives would literally stab each other over a chance to appear in.

    Blake Lively doesn’t seem like a deep thinker whatsoever and given that no one seems to commend her for her acting talents I’m not surprised she jumped at the chance to work with him. But Steve Carrell? That gives me a big sad :(

      I’m sure people are gonna drag me for this but I think Blake Lively is the Taylor Swift of acting. She is just so bland and uninspired. This is an actual quote of hers: “Film festivals are such beautiful, respectful festivals of film.”

    Woody sure has a lot of famous white women to enable/protect him.

      He certainly wouldn’t mind having a black woman in his corner too, so maybe Whoopi “It wasn’t rape-rape” Goldberg could weigh in on this issue, too.
