Maybe you start the game by giving each player $2,000 instead of the designated $1,500, or maybe you don’t allow players in jail to collect rent while they’re still behind bars? Or maybe you prefer to be a total rebel and not even read the game’s instructions.

"This is not who we are." It's a common refrain, often repeated in the wake of ugly incidents like the U.S. Capitol riots in January. It was a sentiment expressed by several country music artists, including Kelsea Ballerini and Cassadee Pope, after their fellow Nashville musician Morgan Wallen was caught on video using the N-word this past weekend. And it's a statement country singer-songwriter Rissi Palmer is sick of hearing. "

Tina Turner, subject of the hit biopic What’s Love Got to Do With It, is black, right? Not necessarily, if you go by the movie’s posters: On one, stars Angela Bassett and Laurence Fishburne appear bathed in purple lighting, obscuring their skin color.

It’s all movie marketing — but what’s race got to do with it?

If you’ve felt an inevitable downfall approaching, here it is. He’d already survived three suicide attempts and in the last 10 years of Mr. Blackwell’s life, the guy just wanted to be Richard Selzer again. He’d never made it as an actor, but he couldn’t shake his one great character.

The episode starts off with Brady working out while listening to the Pixies’ “Here Comes Your Man,” which again reminds me that Brady and I have surprisingly similar taste in music. That can’t be good!
Mrs. Doubtfire, then and now Everett Collection In 1993, Robin Williams took an age-old comedy trope — a person disguising themselves as another gender — and spun it into gold in Mrs. Doubtfire. Based on the book Alias Madame Doubtfire, and directed by Chris Columbus, the film leaned into Williams' renowned skills as an improviser and comedian to tell the tale of Daniel Hillard, a man who disguises himself as a Scottish housekeeper in order to stay close to his kids after his divorce.
Jennifer Weiner is the best-selling author of Good in Bed, In Her Shoes, and more. Her latest novel, Mrs. Everything, published June 11 and is available for purchase.
