    Susan SarandonSusan Sarandon

    Susan Sarandon may be an incredible actress, but her most notable quality perhaps isn't her talented on screen-it's that she's never afraid to speak her mind, even if it's a thought that most wouldn't dare say. Scratch that-ESPECIALLY if it's a thought that most wouldn't dare say.

    Case in point: Susan dropped by the Bay Street Theatre in Sag Harbor, NY on Saturday for an interview with fellow actor Bob Balaban. According to Newsday, she touched on Occupy Wall Street, her encounters with the NYPD during the Amadou Daillo shooting in 1999, and the current Pope, Benedict XVI-whom she called a "Nazi."

    How, exactly, did the Pope make his way into the conversation? Well, Apparently Susan was talking about Dead Man Walking, the 1995 film she made based on the anti-death-penalty book by Sister Helen Prejean. During the filming, Susan had sent a copy of the book to the Pope. "The

    A bottle of chili powder for a buck is a great buy. But a roll of paper towels? Not so much. Here's how to spot the real bargains


    Jin Lee/Bloomberg/Getty ImagesJin Lee/Bloomberg/Getty ImagesWho doesn't love a great deal at the dollar store? It sounds promising -- but does it deliver? The answer is yes and no, say consumer savings experts. If you're a savvy shopper and avoid shoddy merchandise or products that are still overpriced at a dollar, there are definitely deals to be had. A word of warning: not everything at every dollar store costs a dollar, says Andrea Woroch, a consumer savings expert at kinoliinc.com. The Dollar Tree charges a dollar for every item but Dollar General offers pricier stuff, too. That's where you need to be careful. Impulse buying could get you into trouble even at dollar stores, says consumer savings expert Regina Novickis. While the values may be terrific, it's easy to get caught up in a shopping frenzy and leave with more than you need. "Just because it's a dollar, doesn't mean it's a deal," says

  • 1. Taking things too personally - A thick skin is the ultimate office survival tool. Taking the daily gruffness of an office atmosphere personally is, frankly, a waste of time. Perhaps your boss is being terse with you because she can't kick her nicotine addiction. Maybe she is fighting with her boyfriend or husband. Or, quite possible, she's just having one of those days. Whatever the reason, taking workplace hostility personally is an unnecessary distraction that will surely stymie your climb up the ladder.


    2. Not asking enough questions - Judy Woodruff, a senior correspondent for NewsHour with Jim Lehrer, put it like this: "College didn't teach me how to be a reporter, so I asked a ton of questions and learned that way." In addition, ambiguity is often the source of many office issues. Therefore, ask questions, clarify expectations, and don't be afraid to clarify your clarified expectations. Your boss would rather answer a question than correct a mistake.

    In August 2005, I walked out on a dream. I was certain that there was no such thing as having it all.

    My 20s were defined by an insatiable desire for success. I wanted a voice not just an image. I became obsessed with telling stories and I worked at a studio that valued heart, soul and passion above all else. A radical feminist in college, with a minor in Camille Paglia, I took pride in becoming my own "witty controversialist." I was ready to take on any institution and more than happy to settle into the front lines. As a woman in a man's world, film and the arts in general, most boardrooms are like a battlefield. If you fall, you've got an army of eager graduates ready to trample you and take your place. In short, you had to be good or you were just another casualty. Appropriately, I went to work for Harvey Weinstein at Miramax Films, a cowboy in his own right, at a time when Independent Film was on the rise. It was here I found my voice in story and learned

  • Mean Betty gives Miley Cyrus a lesson in Internet security.-Mean Betty, BettyConfidential.com

    MileyMiley

    A question for you, kittens: How good is your Internet security? Are you passwords longer than the minimum recommended length? Are they a random collection of letters and numbers? Do you use a different password for each username you have? And perhaps most importantly, how likely is it that a random stranger would be able to guess your security prompt?

    In all likelihood, your Internet security isn't as strong as it could be. But Meanie doesn't blame you, kittens; after all, she has just as much trouble as you do remembering random strings of letters and numbers! But Meanie, at least, isn't famous-well, not as famous as, say, Miley Cyrus. Meanie isn't a teen pop sensation, and she is perfectly fine with that (as the butler can attest, Meanie has very little patience for the teenybopper set. They're just so… bright. Ugh!). But dear Miley, you see, lives quite a public life, so

  • "Crazy like a fox" Casey Anthony on TV with Barbara Walters: A ratings bonanaza!-Mean Betty, BettyConfidential.com

    Casey Anthony's been in hiding almost since her trial ended. Mean Betty thinks she's like a groundhog, except that when Casey finally pops up out of her cave, there won't be a celebration.

    It looks like Barbara "tell me what type of tree you'd be" Walters is dying to have an exclusive one-on-one with the alleged child murderer. Saturday night, she was spotted leaving Orso, a ritzy New York City resto with Casey's lawyer, Jose Baez, his wife and actor Frank Langella. Why was Frank Langella there? Meanie knows he's a great method actor, but she doesn't think he could pull off doing Casey Anthony in a movie- he's too tall.

    The truth, lambkins, is that La Walters pulled out all stops trying to persuade Casey's lawyer to let Barbara do the first interview with this newly-minted celeb. Kittens, she even went so far as to take him and his wife to a show starring
