I heard that the actor Stanley Tucci had written a cookbook — not a surprise from the star and moving force behind the cinematic delightful ode to Italian food, Big Night.

Faultless

It is not often that you find a perfect book. I didn't find this one, I was told to read it by a dear friend (popcultureboy) and am very glad I did. My Sister-in-Law died young and brutally fast from a brain tumour in February 2013 and after that I was directed by well meaning souls to all … [Read more]

Emmalita on “Only you, Em, would refer to heartbreak as a distraction. I think I would have a more sympathetic response if I asked to marry a bookcase.”Oh my goodness, Gallifrey was beautiful. I’m sure her mittens were gloriously murdery.
