   ► Hilary Baldwin created an uproar when she opened her yogahole and disclosed she was paid $95,000 for selling photos of one of her kids with Alec Baldwin. That got me thinking about the obscene amount of money celebs have made from selling baby photos of their spawns for an easy paycheck. You'd think these celebs who have a net worth of a small country would not sell out their kids at such a young age. But they do. And, those that have, you'd think they would donate their windfall. NOPE. Most of them pocketed the money or channeled it to their own private foundation a.k.a.tax loophole of the wealthy. Below are the top 10 most expensive baby photos. BTW, these figures are not adjusted in today's dollars. So the $15 million Jolie-Pitt stain made back inn 2008 = $22 million in 2025.   Read More Knox & Vivienne Jolie Pitt: $15 million (Angie Ho & Stale Bread Pitt) Max & Emme Lopez-Anthony: $6 million (JLo & Marc Anthony) Shiloh Jolie Pitt: $4.1 millio...

  ► Various dictionary companies and platforms got together at their respective watering holes to reflect on 2025 and decide on the one word their organization selected that, "culture watchers say encapsulate the zeitgeist of 2025".  Without further adieu, this is what each org selected as their winner, followed by mine.  Read More   Image: writerofwordsetc.substack.com Merriam Webster Dictionary:  Slop.

Melissa Joan Hart shared this "expectation vs reality" post on her instagram this week, admitting she was duped by an AI ad for a dress. The dress allegedly retails for $34.99 and is listed as 95% cotton and 5% nylon. Uh huh. Hart managed to DIY her own "ugly" dress and I think it looks cute! Certainly better than the mess she thought she was ordering. Celebrities: they're just like us!  Sources: Yahoo news, Melissa Joan Hart on instagram

     ► Bianca Censori (30), better known as Kanye's nekkid mannequin, is debuting a line of jewellery that is as offensive as her attire. Bianca drew inspiration from OBGYN exam tools for the first two pieces she's introducing. The Scalpel Bracelet ($2,100) was, "inspired by the precision of a scalpel, this bracelet sits close to the wrist with a structured minimal profile and a mirror finish".  The Speculum Cuff  ($2,250) is "a narrow sterling-silver cuff with clean, curved edges and a mirrored finish. The form is inspired by the functional contours of a medical speculum.” Being married to Kanye has resulted in her spending a lot of time at a doctor's office. That's the only explanation I can think of. These baubles belong in a BOGO bin at Spencer Gifts. Some people are saying she ripped off an Elsa Peretti design, which Tiffany's has been selling for decades.   Read More Comment: When Bianca skidded into the scene and latched her carbide to Mount K...

Greetings, Manor Hors! Periodically, "The Roving Pecker" presents urgent missives from filthy esteemed guest writers. Today's chilling entry is from Raincoaster! It's your lucky day...but maybe not Toby Crooke's. He's dead, you see. Although inert from the opening of the story, he's the central and titular character of J. Sheridan Le Fanu 's complex, charming, and chilling Christmas ghost story, "The Dead Sexton." Le Fanu's lesbian vampire tale, "Carmilla," helped inspire Bram Stoker's "Dracula," and is certainly responsible for the great lashings of sex appeal in most of the Dracula legacy. His style is what people think of as the "classical" ghost story, because he is one of the foundational authors of modern horror. The reason it feels familiar is that every horror author you've ever read has been influenced by him. Naturally, there's a sexy, supernatural, and mesmerizing character in this sto...

Greetings music sloots, and welcome to another edition of Manor Music Monday! As we near the winter holidays, I think back to the year we've all had - and how we all need a break from the madness. For me, vocal jazz always does the trick. So what do we need tonight? We need DJ Li'l Scratch, who'll be cranking tunes at the Manor's own "Moist Muffin Lounge and Dinette." What will he be playing? A gal you may not have heard of, and I bet'cha you'll take her for granted once you listen to her - or at least the first time around. Some things sneak up on you. Confused? I'll explain. When I first played Pam Garner's 1960 LP, "Pam Sings Ballads For Broken Hearts," I was contemplating the herculean effort it might take to rearrange and scrub my work station (contemplation is such hard work!). The LP ended and I thought, "Meh, Pam's okay." My desk remained a mess. But a day later, while preparing chicken breasts and realizing that...
