Mindy Kaling on the Joys of Working at NBC

“All the guys want to have sex with me all the time. Every day I come to work it’s nonstop sexual harassment. They had to have some people from General Electric come down and talk to us about it.

“As I grew up, I hated what I was. I started wearing torn jeans, I didn’t shave … My publicist even put together a campaign to get me busted for drugs to dirty up my image. I almost went for it.” —Donny Osmond, who wished his image growing up was more than a little bit rock and roll [Starpulse]

“I will do everything in my power to find out the exact reasoning for this and try to convince those responsible what a mistake it is.
