Tim Curry Reportedly Suffers a Stroke

Tim Curry

A prominent presence in Hollywood for four decades and counting, Tim Curry might be most recognizable to you as the duplicitous butler from Clue, the voice of the maniacal smog in Fern Gully, or (most likely) the larger-than-life antihero Frank-N-Furter at the head of The Rocky Horror Picture Show. DailyMail reports that the 67-year-old character actor suffered a str oke on Thursday night at his home in the Los Angeles area.

My boyfriend talks constantly during sex

Trouble in bed … you must set boundaries.
My boyfriend talks too much during sex. We've been together for a year and recently he's started talking to me while we're intimate. At first it was everyday stuff like what he wants for dinner but then essentially he began ranting. Do you know how hard it is to climax while listening to someone talk about how many bands have produced "disappointing second albums"? I don't know if I can go on like this.

While you probably believe you've been patient and understanding, you really should have complained the very first time he made an in-bed dinner request. That's unacceptable, and I'm wondering what else you're struggling with, since most sexual problems are metaphors for the overall relationship. I can see you use humour as a defence mechanism, so in return I could just tell you that if he's massively rich or famous and you've decided you'll put up with it to please him, you'll eventually discover it's not worth it. But everyone gets worse if you fail to set boundaries.

Kim Kardashian's baby shower: that invitation in full

Lost in Showbiz has a position on baby showers, which is that it basically doesn't do them. In the annals of irksome American cultural imports they easily outstrip little leaguers such as Gwyneth Paltrow or people saying "parsta". You decide to have a baby: you buy that shiz yourself.

Like all my hard and fast rules, though, it would obviously be broken in a heartbeat if it looked like there was a hilarious life experience in it. Consequently, I regard the invitation to Kim Kardashian's baby shower as marginally more covetable than one to Truman Capote's Black and White Ball would have been.

Billions of cicadas are terrorizing the East Coast of the United States.

After 17 years underground — and after plenty of headlines heralding their arrival — Brood II cicadas are starting to pop their beady, red eyes out. And they seem to be angry.
