With an Oscar and a Golden Globe to her name, and a perch on top of the Hollywood scene, why does everyone still hate on Anne Hathaway? Her recent film and award season success has unleashed a backlash, including a brutal response on Twitter to her Oscar acceptance speech. On Friday, HuffPost Live host Alicia Mendendez asked what generates that fire. Rich Juzwiak, a writer at Gawker.com, pointed out that no matter how many naysayers she has, Hathaway still is "winning." Juzwiak went on to say that "there would not be a need for a backlash if she weren't so successful, it's in response to that."
Digging deeper into the issue, Margaret Wheeler Johnson, HuffPost Women editor, said that "now she is a person fully in control of her career, who is making a lot of money, and is a woman, and that's a very threatening thing still sometimes in this culture.

Lori Fradkin: So, here we are again ... week two ...
Margaret Wheeler Johnson: I thought this episode showed much more promise and ambition than the first.
Lori L., thoughts?
Lori Leibovich: I was definitely more impressed this week and felt like I understood the hype a bit more. Shoshanna became less of a caricature for one thing.
Lori Fradkin: I was just going to ask what you thought of her now!
Margaret Wheeler Johnson: I think she becomes a real character here, but I agree with you, Lori L., that she should have been from the beginning. It was over the top last week. I wish she had started like this.
Lori Leibovich: Me too.
Lori Fradkin: I liked that Jessa wanted to make a dream board too but not a shared one.
Margaret Wheeler Johnson: Making the two of them roommates was rather inspired
But can we start at the beginning?...

After months of publicity, HBO's new sitcom "Girls," written and directed by and starring Lena Dunham, premiered tonight. Was it everything we were promised? Is it worth watching? Here's our take:
Margaret Wheeler Johnson: Hi guys
Lori Fradkin: Hi!
Lori Leibovich: hello
Lori Fradkin: Can I just say something first? I find it kind of incredible that a few months ago I thought I was going to be the "in the know" one about "Girls"
Like it would be this hidden gem that I would tell people about
Lori Leibovich: I know! I remember when you flagged it
and thinking oh so glad Lori told me about this!
Margaret Wheeler Johnson: Blame the SXSW rent-a-lady-bike campaign.
Lori Fradkin: The HBO publicity machine is on top of its game on this one
Like beyond its game if that's a thing
Margaret Wheeler Johnson: I do think it's great that they were...

In honor of Whitney Houston, who died Saturday at the very young age of 48, members of the HuffPost Lifestyle staff have started compiling our memories of the incredibly talented singer and actress. Here are some of our thoughts -- we hope you'll add your own memories in the comments.
From Lisa Belkin, HuffPost Senior Columnist on Life/Work/Family:
"If my life had an anthem, it would be "One Moment In Time," which Whitney sang at the opening of the Olympic games in 1988. I know that now, because I just looked it up. But the first time I heard it I was newly wed, in a new job, living in a new place and all I knew was that this song captured the simultaneous dread and exhilaration that comes with everything new. Whitney's best known songs are love songs, but this one is an exclamation point about life, work,creativity and craft.
