To honor International Women’s Day, women are telling inspiring stories— of remarkable and courageous women around the world; of women helping women; of women who made it possible for them to succeed.
I feel so fortunate, to live in the United States; where for the most part, women have the rights and the ability and [...]
Since the first Neanderthal man scratched out a love letter on the wall of his cave, it’s been the source of battles and ballads and books.
By now it’s the subject of scientific studies and sociological surveys…..
And after all these centuries…… We know far more about the outermost reaches of space than the innermost feelings of [...]
She’s the only person left on the planet who changed my diapers. She remembers the day I was born. She lives across the country; I see her very rarely.
At 91, she moves a little slower and shakier—but she’s as sharp and salty as ever. She reads like crazy but she doesn’t use a computer— and [...]
So shoot me. I totally thought I was over him.…until these 5 recent developments:
Reason #1 Eleonora. My change of heart started with her comment when I dumped George in favor of Alec Baldwin.- She suggested that I reconsider —due to her personal experience after recently working on a film with George in Italy. She [...]
I owe George Clooney an apology. Or thanks. Or something.
A few weeks ago, as soon as I heard about this book called Marrying George Clooney, it hit me: Why didn’t I think of that? The perfect ticket to get the author some face time with him.

As a social media slut, some of my favorite steadies on Twitter are women writers. One of them, Elissa Stein, had her first book published this week. Flow just arrived today—the book, not my period.
I can’t wait to read it and [...]
I’m social. And I’m shallow. The perfect qualifications for online relationships.
Social. Media. Bring it on.
When you’re a people–person, social media is like being a kid in a candy store. And you know how I feel about chocolate.
