Bonnie (Fuller) Come Lately

So there we were, listening to Beethoven's late quartets in the afternoon rain, sipping on a peppery cognac, reading Keith Kelly's NY Post piece on Bonnie Fuller, when all of a sudden, I exploded into laughter. What caused this waste of such a mature cognac?

"Staffers (at Star) are also said to be upset that Fuller frequently conducts meetings while eating a sandwich or a bun that gives off lots of crumbs. Fuller doesn't deny that she gobbles down food in front of staffers at meetings, but said it's a two-way street.

"'We're very free around here. Sometimes I have a sandwich. The other day I was at a meeting in which two staffers were eating sandwiches. We don't go out for lunch.'"

Okay, now I've heard everything. Sandwich crumbs are now media news? Look, I was never a big fan of Bonnie Fuller, but people are hitting her waaaay too hard and way too low. First that brutal -- bruutal-- Vanity Fair piece, which was just fucking nasty as far as I'm concerned, and now bitchy comments on her sammich crumbs? Come on now. Let's stick to the important things, people, like photos of Janet Jackson sunbathing nekkid and JLo's ex husband bad mouthing her.

Ya know?

Lizzie Spiers is also surprised by Crumbgate.
