... a woman if there ever was one. It might have worked had he been trying to do his best imitation of Lily Tomlin's Ernestine, the telephone operator, but this was no spoof. This was Obama trying to relate to working-class women in a way that went directly south. And, yes, it is a problem.

A reader just sent this pretty interesting conversation on female beauty from Wowowow . The best part's when Lily Tomlin (remember her?) admits she used to pad her hips when she was 13 or 14 years old in her quest to emulate Marilyn Monroe, the beauty standard of her time. I've never done anything quite like that in trying to look like what I think is better than myself, but it still...

I don't always think Lily Tomlin is the funniest person ever, but sometimes she can really crack me up. And here's Lily in a wet tee-shirt, "splashing on dazzle" in a real detergent commercial. [via Nerve ]

James Caan walked off the set. George Clooney wants a piece of him. Lily Tomlin endured his abuse. But it's all coming home to roost with David O. Russell, whose new film has been shut down by the Screen Actor's...

... exceedingly rare in movies. Thelma and Louis could be funny, but then they drove over that cliff. Lily Tomlin and Bette Midler were a great match in “Big Business;” they even had that fat/thin visual thing favored by endless male comic teams. But they have yet to do another movie together. Oddly enough, women tend to come in threes on the big screen: Susan Sarandon, Cher and Michelle...

... a good memory (or not), David O. Russell is that scary director that got into a huge fight with Lily Tomlin (caught on tape) on the set of his last movie.

Filed under: Comedy , Fandom , Home Entertainment , Friday Night Double Feature Oh, David O. Russell . The man is completely imbalanced: physical confrontations with George Clooney on set, putting Christopher Nolan in a headlock, going on a tirade towards Lily Tomlin, and arguing with James Caan about whether it's possible to choke and cough at the same time. But say what you will about...

... the perfect amount of time to watch Dave Chappelle shout at the camera in a SLJ wig. Bad-ass. The Lily Tomlin Comedy Special ,”G-R-R-R Detergent” (1975) This sketch actually comes in at #12, six places behind “Samuel L. Jackson Beer” at #6. But it's a clever piece that showcases Tomlin's talents as a character actress. Plus, the punchline has quite the punch. Fascinatingly,...

Have you ever seen the skit “Ernestine, the Telephone Operator“? It was a role that actress Lily Tomlin was famous for on the early 70’s ? show Laugh In. Her telephone operator voice was high and nasally. Very irritating yet humorous. Well I just got a call from a company that wanted to [...]
