Mayim Bialik Says Neil Patrick Harris Stopped Being Friends With Her Because She Refused To Give Him A Standing Ovation For “Rent”
Interim Jeopardy! host Mayim Bialik recently spoke with James Cordon – hey where are you going!?! Come back, I have to tell you about Neil Patrick Harris in the musical Rent! Great. Well, I’ll tell you three then. Mayim appeared on The Late Late Show where was interrogated by an aghast James about her aversion to musical theater, something that apparently predates her being screeched at by a self-indulgent hairless cat. She can’t stand it! So much so, that she threw away a friendship with NPH because she couldn’t bring herself to stand for him during a standing ovation after a 1997 production of Rent, and he apparently couldn’t stand for the disrespect.
Don’t Ask Russell Brand How Much Rent He Pays During A Housing Protest
The rent is too damn high almost everywhere and at the New Era housing estate in east London, the rent is going to be so damn high that people will have to pack up and move elsewhere.
Former actor turned government troller Russell Brand is fighting against the owner of a housing estate in east London, because they’re more than tripling the price of rent. The Daily Mail says that east London has become more and more fancier and trendier, so a company called Westbrook, who owns the New Era housing estate, is planning to up the price of rent from $1,016 per month to $3,100 per month, which is the going rate for that neighborhood. Tenants were initially told that rent wouldn’t go up until 2016, but of course, Westbrook lied. Nearly 90 households will be forced to move or they’ll be forced to sell their ass, kidneys and children to pay the new rent. Russell Brand has become the face of the fight.
