It was Melissa Fumero's bday the other day, aka Detective Amy Santiago on "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" -- one of the funniest shows on TV right now. She posted a pic of her on-set celebrations with bday-bud Kyra Sedgwick, a cake, and a whole mess of cast and crew, with the caption: "Workin at my dream job with my beloved…
Go To Bed.
You's guys. My bezzzz friend Dan Magro and I FINISHED 18 bonafide episodes of "Sleepover With Dan + Lauren"! And to celebrate -- in lieu of having everyone over for the world's sweatiest, most awkwardest actual sleepover -- we threw a good ole fashioned party.

Russian Lady Day.
I don’t want to sound like an asshole. I mean, I have a Mother. And a really amazing one. She’s the kindest, most generous person I know. And I will always want to make her proud of me. Her heart is the size of a beach ball, and her capacity to love, surpasses any living…
