So I’m only gonna draw attention to Grand Lux Cafe’s comfort food Saturday & Sunday Brunch! Particularly as March 25th is NATIONAL WAFFLE DAY! and Fried Chicken and Waffles Topped with Crispy Fried Chicken Strips and Pecan Honey-Butter Sauce is GLC’s most popular brunch item. …

Tina Fey in a Kabulbubble – WTF (Whiskey Tango Foxtrot)
Tinsel & Tine’s Look at WHISKEY TANGO FOXTROT By Editor, Le Anne Lindsay Leave it to Tina Fey to develop a movie with an acronym of “WTF”, you know cast and crew had fun with that double meaning straight through post-production. Of course, trying to use the title of the book by Kim Barker, which the screenplay is based upon – “The Taliban Shuffle: Strange Days in Afghanistan and Pakistan,” would have been a bit of a mouthful for a movie.

Connor’s Corner: HOW TO BE SINGLE
IT’S MUCH BETTER THAN YOU’D THINK HOW TO BE SINGLE By Tinsel & Tine Contributor Connor Bartholomew When I saw the first trailer for Christian Ditter’s How to Be Single I was skeptical.
