Newest Review: ... column where the pick of the week’s quotes and activities both stupid and thoughtful come up for air to be exposed to the world (although the only negative criticism for Amy is that some of these aren’t NEW ones BUT there’s always something wonderfully weird and wacky that comes out from the actions and mouths of celebrities....). AND the design is just so easy-to-the-eye (unlike ‘Slate’ for example) where it’s simply just very easy to navigate and with links to all the the right places BUT the criticism here is that their ‘Table Talk’ (message boards, if you like) is just a TAD too comp... more
