Sarah Paulson Was Advised To Keep Relationship With Holland Taylor Under Wraps


 American Horror Story star (currently starring in The Post) opened up to The Edit about her “unconventional” choices in life, like her relationship with actress Holland Taylor.

Via The Washington Blade:

“Early on, when people found out I was with Holland, some said: ‘I think you have to be careful, I’m afraid it’s going to affect your career negatively.’ I was like what? It never occurred to me at all,” Paulson says.

Paulson openly declared her love for Taylor during her Emmys acceptance speech in 2016 when she proclaimed “Holland Taylor, I love you.” The actress admits she debated not giving her girlfriend a shout-out for fear of people’s opinions.

“It occurred to me, ‘Should I not?’ And then I thought, ‘Why would I not?’” Paulson says. “The fact I’m having this thought is wrong. But I had a moment of societal concern; wondering if, maybe, people who didn’t know that about me would be like, ‘Wait, what?’ But then, you know, I did it anyway.”

However, Paulson says she’s aware her relationship with the 74-year-old actress is “unconventional.”

“My life choices are, um, unconventional. I’m with a much older person and people find that totally fascinating and odd, and, to me, it’s the least interesting thing about me. But I do feel a bit unconventional. I am a woman of a certain age who chose not to have children, and who has made my career my priority. I am the captain of my own ship, and I’ve never looked to anyone else to validate that, or tell me it’s okay,” Paulson says.

2017 Average Monthly Job Gains Lag Behind 2016

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the U.S. added 228,000 jobs in November 2018.

The unemployment rate remained unchanged at 4.1%.

While Donald Trump has touted his “job creation” skills, the fact is he has lagged behind the average number of jobs added each month during President Obama since the end of the Great Recession.

For instance, during Obama’s last year in office, the economy averaged 190,000 new jobs a month while 2017 has averaged 174,000 a month.

Roy Moore Accuser Speaks Out: “Is The Party More Important Than What Happened?”

Beverly Young Nelson, one of several women who have accused Alabama Republican Senate candidate Roy Moore of sexual misconduct, told Tom Llamas of ABC News today that it “sickens” her to think that Moore will get elected to the U.S. Senate.

According to Nelson, Moore accosted her after her waitress shift when she was 16-years-old.

“It sickens me to wonder what may go on with him if he gets into office,” said Nelson. “Maybe, you know, he could be doing this still. We don’t know. And then again I hope that he’s changed. I pray that he’s changed. I really do.”

And to those who say none of the allegations matter as much as keeping a Republican in the Senate seat for Alabama, Nelson asks, “Is the party more important — really — than what happened?”

ABC News points out that Moore denies even knowing any of his accusers, and his supporters call the women liars.

The report also includes news of a quote from Moore on the campaign trail when Moore was asked for his opinion on when the last time America was “great.”

Moore’s response: “I think it was great at the time when families were united—even though we had slavery—they cared for one another. Our families were strong, our country had a direction.”

Australia: Same-Sex Marriages To Begin January 9, 2018

After a vastly lop-sided “Yes” vote for same-sex marriage in Australia’s Parliament, the legislation has been signed and LGBT Aussies will be able to marry within 30 days.

From ABC News:

Australia’s prime minister rushed gay marriage into law on Friday by gaining a final signature on a bill hours after it was overwhelming endorsed by Parliament and as the nation started planning weddings that can take place in a month.

Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull traveled to Government House where Governor-General Peter Cosgrove signed the bill into law on behalf of Queen Elizabeth II, Australia’s constitutional head of state.

Cosgrove’s signature makes gay marriage legal in Australia from Saturday, when same-sex couples who wed overseas will be recognized as married under Australian law. Couples who intend to marry must give a calendar-month notice, making gay weddings legal on Jan. 9, Turnbull said.

Let’s relive that awesome moment one more time 🙂

Judge Denies Request To Move Trial Of Pulse Nightclub Shooter’s Widow

The widow of the Pulse Nightclub shooter, who killed 49 people at an Orlando, Florida, nightclub in June of 2016, has seen her request for a change of venue for her upcoming trial denied.

Via The New York Times:

U.S. District Judge Paul Byron ruled Wednesday that attorneys for Noor Salman did not prove that she cannot get a fair trial in Orlando. Salman was married to Omar Mateen, who died in a shootout with police at Orlando’s Pulse nightclub in June 2016.

Prosecutors charged Salman with obstruction of justice, saying she knew of her husband’s plans. She denies that.

Her trial is set for March.

Salman’s attorneys argued she could not get a fair trial in Orlando because of constant media coverage and statements made by the Orlando Police chief. But the judge concluded those statements were not inflammatory or prejudicial.

Until the recent shooting in Las Vegas, the Pulse massacre was the deadliest shooting event in American history.
