Our kind of celebrity

Felicity Huffman doesn't play along with "60 Minutes'" Stahl.

    what really grates on me...

    is the way Stahl worded that question. I could see asking how her own parenting experience informed her television role--not a stellar question, but a reasonable one--but to ask her if "being a mommy" (not a mother, mind you, but a MOMMY) is the "best experience of her life" is a deeply condescending and insulting question to ask any professional. Can you imagine asking Paul Newman or Clint Eastwood that question? (Does Clint Eastwood even HAVE children? I don't even know!)

    Oh, but the look on her face when Huffman bit her head off was priceless. I've never seen Huffman in anything--don't watch TV, haven't seen her movie--but in me she's got a new fan.
