Remembering one of the most powerful women in the history of Hollywood — the legendary gossip columnist HEDDA HOPPER — born 141yrs ago today.

Most importantly, he met ME!

Blessed Easter, darlings. I am spending mine where one ought, I think, among flowers, fresh air, and things quietly coming back to life. My garden is especially beautiful today, and far better company than most holiday callers. Roses listen without judgment, ask for very little, and never turn on you afterward. I've always had a hand for growing things, and nothing pleases me more than seeing the garden answer back so handsomely. Anyway, bless you! Enjoy your chocolates, your egg hunt, and whatever little happiness the day sees fit to bring you.

Hedda Hopper and I wish you a blessed Easter Sunday, Twitter pals!💐

Belated April Fool's... though I am quite certain it is still April first somewhere in the world, and I see no reason being a day late should deprive me of my fun. Much as it may disappoint some people, I remain exactly as I was. Improper in all the old ways, and not at all in the new ones.

I've had a change of heart. I am now a raging communist, a lesbian, and, to complete the moral collapse, in a thoroughly improper polyamorous arrangement. I shan't say another kind word about Hollywood again. Instead I mean to roam the world with my two lady loves, denouncing capitalism in excellent hats.

@conway_rp Thank you again, darling. I do appreciate it. And it's awfully nice to hear from you again! Do tell me, how have you been?

I still am unaware what this statue does.

Splendid, my dear! Godmother is a distinction I accept most happily. You can be quite sure I shall fly out and join the festivities properly when the little one makes their entrance, once you've had the good sense to send me an address! You could hardly expect me to miss such a joyous little affair!

@GossipWithHedda i shall. i promise. o’course. we wouldn’t dream of choosin’ anyone other than you f’godmother. you gotta fly out an’ join th’island festivities properly when th’little one makes their arrival.

big news … me and movi are expectin’ a new addition to our lil tribe 🏝️

I didn't ask questions because I cared for your whereabouts, you son of a bitch. I asked because your lies were so laughably transparent they offended my intelligence! You speak of 'nature' as if being a serial philanderer is a biological necessity rather than a total lack of character. Better I be a bitch than the doormat you were so determined to make of me.

@DeWolfHopper Blame me if it comforts you, DeWolf. You were always quite gifted at that.

@DeWolfHopper I suppose even you can manage the truth, given enough years to rehearse it.
