From a few days ago. People love to rag on Los Angeles and California. Tom and I moved here in 1999. It took some work but we carved out a great life here. We have great friends here, some of our family is here in CA. But to me, the biggest thing is this: I found myself here. (1/)

I have worked in reality TV for over 26 years. Over the past 3.75 years, I have produced 61 episodes of BELLE COLLECTIVE, 41 as showrunner. And with this reunion, I have my first solo credit card as Executive Producer. I am so proud of this cast, this crew, this show and of me! #bellecollective

Saw THE ODYSSEY last night. Tremendous film. Loved it. And Miss Anne Hathaway better be nominated for an Oscar for it. Because she was incredible! #theodyssey

I’ve been listening to the new Madonna album on repeat this weekend abc I have to say: it’s glorious. Her best album since Confessions Vol. 1. It’s highly personal battle cry to be involved in the world and be vulnerable. While dancing. At the age of 67 (she turns 68 in August). It’s incredible.

Next week we are getting both the new season of X-MEN ‘97 and Madonna’s newest album. 12 year old Jon and 54 year old Jon CANNOT WAIT. (Also this means that Pride Month is extending into July. Sorry not sorry)

As The 60 Minutes Turns continues! Bari Weiss today said that they tried to fix things with Scott Pelley and then Pelley today says that's not true and he HAD HIS OWN TRANSCRIPT OF THEIR MEETING. Now this is a level of petty and strength that I loooooove. Good for Pelley. #CBSNews
Screenshot of a paragraph from the linked article: Pelley then provided his own transcript of a portion of the meeting, in which he contended that Weiss refused to answer questions about why she fired the senior staff of 60 Minutes without cause, as well as two correspondents, Sharyn Alfonsi and Cecilia Vega. Cibrowski, Pelley said, declared that the “conversation is over.” .

RIP to hacky film critic Rex Reed who passed away today. Out of all the things he has done, the best is his cameo in 1978's SUPERMAN where he played himself. While I haven't seen his performance in MYRA BRECKINRIDGE, I'm sure it can't be as campy as him in SUPERMAN pretending to be straight.
Still from "Superman" (1978) where Lois Lane and Clark Kent are making their way into the Daily Planet building where they bump into noted film critic Rex Reed, playing himself. Lois asks him if he's seen anything good lately. Rex responds with "not since you came along" or something like that. Was it a believable line reading from Reed? No. Is this cameo the best thing he's ever done? Yes.

I’ve been a big Madonna fan since I was 11 years old. Ever since my mom passed 4 weeks ago, I’ve been listening to her music incessantly. She lost her mom when was 5. I lost mine at 53 and her music hits deeper for me now. If I ever meet Madonna, I would say that her music means a lot to me and…

RIP to my mother Joan “Joanne” Collins. She was an author, teacher and business manager. She went through a lot in her life and taught me the true meaning on tenaciousness. Mom, I hope you are looking down on us, sipping a margarita and watching a British crime show.
A portrait of my mother from the 1960’s. Do I know the exact date of this? No? Does she look radiant and smart with a “don’t mess with me” vibe? Yup.Shot of my mom in a photo with my Dad from 1978. She looks great and the big 70’s hair looked great on her. Shot of my parents from last year at La Tablita in Palm Springs. The margarita is a love language in my family. My mom last year at the Rancho Mirage Book Fair where she read from one of her short stories.

Very embarrassing in hindsight but in the late 70s, my family was watching Battle of the Network Stars and I commented on Scott Baio's nipples. People wonder why Gen X is crabby; besides join pain, it's because most of our formative crushes have turned into rightwing nut jobs.

Last Wednesday night, I took a walk around my parents’ complex in Palm Springs & I looked up and saw this: a halo around the moon. A nice reminder to myself to stop and take in the beauty that’s around us. Also? I’ve lived in CA for over 25 years and I still love palm trees! #california

I’m so done with getting random emails from Democratic candidates that I don’t know from states I do not live in asking for money. Y’all want our cash but don’t care about our concerns. The Haley Stevens campaign just asked me for money & this was my response (1/):
