Lorelai and Emily's conflicting relationship is showcased in the "Vicious Trollop" lipstick episode of Gilmore Girls. The Vicious Trollop lipstick leads to a bonding moment between Lorelai and Emily during a mother-daughter spa weekend. Gilmore Girls fans can get their hands on Vicious Trollop-themed merchandise.

In Gilmore Girls, Lorelai (Lauren Graham) and Rory (Alexis Bledel) love their fashion, but the "Vicious Trollop" lipstick has particular significance. Gilmore Girls was a staple of 2000s TV with the costumes defining the decade, and though Lorelai had some of the best outfits, what fans really fell for was the loving, quick-witted dynamic between the titular mother and daughter.

Sure, you know the names Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton... but is the name Cantinflas familiar? Perhaps not, but he was only the most famous comic to come from Mexico -- so famous, in fact, he was dubbed "the Charlie Chaplin of Mexico" by many. Born Mario Fortino Alfonso Moreno Reyes in 1911 to an impoverished family in Mexico City, he started out as a prizefighter and circus performer (adopting the stage moniker "Cantinflas") before developing a career in theater and film playing, like Chaplin, el pelado -- a poor everyman. His breakthrough came with Ahí está el detalle in 1940, and he would go on to win a Golden Globe for best actor in a musical or comedy in 1956 for Around the World in Eighty Days. After a long and successful career, the comic...

Dr. Grifo, my fertility doc, had spent 45 minutes after his office hours to help educate me on simple ways to combat menopause side-effects, as well as to answer some...

The 100th anniversary of the birth of the great Mexican clown Cantinflas passed unremarked on Notebook, and would have been unnoticed by me had I not been in Costa Rica two weeks ago and come across a pull-out section of the newspaper La Nación dedicated to "Su excelencia del cine latino." But what caught my eye was not Cantinflas himself (outside of Around the World in 80 Days I’ve never seen a Cantinflas film) but an impressively intricate and beautifully conceived infographic at the end of the article, the like of which I don't think I've ever seen for any actor or filmmaker's filmography anywhere.

Born on August 12, 1911, Fortino Mario Alfonso Moreno Reyes, better known as Mario Moreno, best known as Cantinflas, was one of the biggest stars in Spanish-language cinema, but, despite winning a Golden Globe for Around the World in 80 Days in 1956 and being hailed by...
