Well, she married a man named Gummer. And Mamie was probably her mother's name or something.
I know, I know. It's just so unfortunate. I mean, to the extent that maybe it comes around the other side and is awesome again, but maybe not.
We gotta go to the crappy town where I'm the hero!

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Heh. Mamie Gummer's real name is Mary, and Mamie IS the family nickname. Her siblings are Henry, Grace, and Louisa. All tasteful choices.

AND, Mamie IS named after Meryl's mother, Mary Willa. And Meryl's real name is Mary Louise.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Tom Hanks? People might not love all of his acting, but they certainly love HIM. Bruce Sprinsgteen? Paul McCartney?

OK, then all is forgiven. I love you, Meryl!!

That's why I though Mamie was so odd, in this day and age.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Are there no men? Maybe George Clooney.
Clooney probably could do something to turn public opinion against him, but I have it on good authority from my grandmother that he's a lovely boy and comes from good people. (He's a Cincy local, so she knows.)

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Tom Hanks? People might not love all of his acting, but they certainly love HIM. Bruce Sprinsgteen? Paul McCartney?
Hanks - docked for Forest Gump. Also had brief flirtation with self-seriousness.
Springsteen - Yes.
McCartney - docked for not being Lennon (cf., "Silly Love Songs") and bad divorce. However, his rep has been growing among music geeks.

Is Springsteen forgiven for leaving his wife for what's her name? I guess it's been long enough.

Tim Gunn?
Oooh, interesting call. He kind of needs a project away from Project Runway to establish himself elsewhere.
Within the narrow confines of his current notoriety - yes. But that could easily be toppled by a misstep elsewhere.
