OPEN POST: Leave Liza Alone, You Meanies!

The Internet needs to be spanked, because a group of stinky-poos came for Liza this week. But luckily, Liza, glorious legend that she is, snapped back. And it was all because of her new album cover, which troglodytes were quick to say resembled Rhianna's "Girl Gone Bad" album cover from 2007. "Nyah, nyah, nyah," the lesser-thans sneered, acting as if they caught Liza make a major whoopsie (or a major Beyonce) (you decide). But Liza kindly, yet firmly. put them in their place.

If anyone knows of a club like the one in "Sweet Charity," call me immediately.
