Paltrow’s rep told Entertainment Tonight that the actress and Giffords — who is in critical condition after being shot outside a supermarket — are cousins.

“Although I have never had the pleasure of meeting congresswoman Giffords, my thoughts and prayers are with her and her family,” Paltrow said in a statement.

thereal90s:

More celebrations of when MTV was great: So much importance in one small clip.

The Jon Stewart Show, a 17-yr-old pre-Clueless Alicia Silverstone, the best Aerosmith video of all time, an intensely dubious outfit with great intentions, a Fred Savage mention, and Everybody Hurts as the outro music…all packed into less that 4 minutes.

Oh and it’s also the WORST interview of all time. She comes across as someone who may or may not even speak English.

Overeducation” is something Woody Allen seems to discern more often than the rest of us might. “I know so many people who are well-educated and super-educated,” he told an interviewer for Time recently. “Their common problem is that they have no understanding and no wisdom; without that, their education can only take them so far.” In other words they have problems with their “relationships,” they have failed to “work through” the material of their lives with a trained evaluator, they have yet to perfect the quality of their emotional consumption.

To the Editor:

Thank you for your columns on tai chi and on living to be 100 (Personal Health, Sept. 28 and Oct. 19). Over the years I’ve been asked: “How do you stay in shape? How do you take care of your back, your knees, your joints?”

People ask these questions because they know I probably shouldn’t be here — I’m a study in reckless excess. Yet here I am, at age 68. (And I say this as I watch my cousin Shirley, who is 102.)

I have studied the art of tai chi for more than 25 years, most recently with Master Ren GuangYi. (You must have an authentic instructor to correct alignment and to preserve and strengthen the knees and back.)

Tai chi is life-changing. It puts you in touch with invisible power of — yes — the universe. You don’t need equipment. My teacher has choreographed a series of moves that can be done in an apartment with very little space.

I know it sounds too good to be true. But as your columnist said, the question isn’t “why you should practice tai chi, but why not.” Lou Reed
