Hello, doll!
I don"t believe I"ve ever laid eyes on something so…goodness, what a coat.
After the Golden Globes, some celebs skipped town, while others made talk show appearances (Hi, Anna Bates!).
Ok bye.

Steven Avery – the subject of the recent Netflix documentary series Making a Murderer – has filed an appeal asking a judge to throw out his 2005 conviction for the murder of Theresa Halbach.
In legal documents obtained by TMZ, Avery claims that he has sufficient evidence to prove that one juror was openly biased against him from the start of the trial, repeatedly describing Avery as “f–king guilty” in the presence of other jurors.
Additionally, the 53-year-old inmate claims that key pieces of incriminating evidence – including traces of blood and the key to Halbach’s vehicle – that were discovered inside his home were found by way of an illegal search that violated the terms of the warrant obtained by investigators.
Obviously, Avery is likely hoping that the attention brought to this case by the documentary will help his cause, but several key pieces of evidence that may help to overturn his conviction were actually not featured in the ten-part Netflix series.
The pro-Avery movement online has unearthed several key facts that were not brought up in his trial, including the shocking revelation that a member of the jury worked closely with the Manitowoc sheriffs who arrested Avery.
In the time since Making a Murderer aired Avery’s own theory about who committed the murders has been revealed to the public, but his attorneys will likely choose not to make any allegations in the courtroom.
It’s now up to the Wisconsin Court of Appeals to decide if Avery will get another day in court.
Several legal experts who have already weighed in on the matter believe that his odds are good,due to the level of controversy surrounding his conviction.
David Margulies, a veteran character actor perhaps most recognizable for his role as the mayor in Ghostbusters, has passed away.
He was 78 years old.
The veteran stage and screen presence’s agent, Mary Harden, confirmed his passing earlier today. His cause of death was not disclosed.
To millions of Ghostbusters fans, his face will be remembered as that of Lenny Clotch, a take-off on real-life New York Mayor Ed Koch.
Margulies starred in many films and theater productions, however.
Other recognizable parts included Tony Soprano’s lawyer Neil Mink on The Sopranos and the doctor in Ace Ventura: Pet Detective.
On Broadway, the New York native appeared in Comedians, Brighton Beach Memoirs and Angels In America, just to name a handful.
The unheralded star is already being mourned on social media.
Lin-Manuel Miranda, the creator of Hamilton, wrote on Facebook, “I got to see him as Roy Cohn in Angels in high school. Unreal.”
“A force onstage, a mensch offstage. I will miss him.”
Margulies’ work will live on in the hearts and minds of his fans and colleagues, as well as in two more projects set for release this year.
He will appear, posthumously, in an independent drama called License Plates and as Elie Weisel in the upcoming TV movie Madoff.
