"To those waiting with bated breath for that favourite media catchphrase, the 'U-turn', I have only one thing to say. 'You turn if you want to. The lady's not for turning.'"

Rima Karaki: How can a respected Shiekh like yourself tell a TV host to shut up?
Sheikh Hani Al-Siba’i: I am respected whether you like it or not—
Kariki: Enough. Let's wrap this up.

"A disturbing and shameful fact hit my head the other day: The goddess of all goddesses Joan Collins has never been Hot Slut of the Day. During the almost 11 years since Dlisted was born behind a dumpster in the back alley, I have slobbered out a Pacific Ocean-sized worth of praise about Joan Collins and I can’t believe I never properly bowed down to her. I should text you all the GPS coordinates of my corner so you can take turns slapping my face with a satin glove-covered hand...But since it’s a brand new year, it’s time to finally right this wrong. I don’t need to say anything about Joan Collins because she’s Joan Fucking Collins. If you need to know more about her, just go to your local church, because I’m sure the preacher there is giving a sermon solely about her being our lord and savior."

, Hot Slut of the Day: Joan Fuckin' Collins"When a rude trick pulled out a phone and started texting halfway through the second act, Patti decided to lay a silent attack on a bitch. While delivering her scene exit line, Patti snatched the phone out of the rude texter’s hand and sashayed off the stage. I would hate to be sitting next to a rude texter, but I’d pay top dollar to see Patti LuPone own them with just one swipe. All the bodegas in NYC would be out of roses, because I’d buy them all to throw at Patti...Put Patti in a theater usher uniform, give her a chancleta and watch out. Theatergoers will break their phones on the sidewalk before a performance to really make sure it doesn’t go off in Patti’s presence."
