Right? American journalists are way too soft on their interviewees. We need more Tara Browns.

Nope. Best practices for suicide reporting recommend not using “committed,” which sounds like a crime or, to religious communities, like a sin, and “kill yourself” is just insensitive, crude, and poorly phrased. “Died by suicide” is the phrasing recommended by mental health professionals and the American Foundation…

Zach G sounds like a classy dude. Same with Silverman. that story (their part at least) made me happy

I love that he thought that was better. “No, no, no! I wasn’t INSULTING you! I was SEXUALLY HARASSING you!”

Patrick Dempsey has on two separate occasions almost hit me with a race car so I’m glad you’re keeping it even.

I got one about the time my uncle was a dick to a celebrity! My uncle was doing computer shit in Olivier Sarkozy’s office. He noticed a picture in Sarkozy’s office and told him his daughter looked like one of the Olsen twins.

Matthew Lilliard - I don’t think he’s aware he’s a celebrity, he acts too much like a regular person. During press junket in NY, he freaked out over how much free food there was. It was so cool.

I’m happy to hear that about Matthew Lillard! I’ve had a crush on him for forever :-)

Well, Kenny Chesney holds his “hallmark summer concert” in my city every year and every year for about 5 straight let his fans completely trash the entire town. They shit & puke everywhere, pass out everywhere, destroy property, get arrested, get sick from partying, drive drunk etc. (Someone will die during this event…

For heaven’s sakes, give it a rest.

Dammit, I really liked J.K. Rowling.

TL;DR - Fuck Joe Pesci. But I never stopped loving Goodfellas.

My friend works at Disneyland and one of my favorite awkward stories she tells is about Katy Perry. When she comes to the park she gets on Its A Small World and gets her drink on. Every. Time.

*takes long breath* Okay so it was Labor Day weekend in LA and my friend decided to have her bday party at the rooftop of this swanky hotel in Santa Monica. It being Labor Day, there was no one else there but our party (about 20 something people), and then in walks Chelsea Handler with a small entourage of older gay…

the general consensus on Jezebel is that smokers are worse than scientologists

I have been fortunate over the years, as a result of chance encounters, my time in college, and various jobs, to have met numerous celebrities (including a now-former President twice in the month before his election, a A-list level superstar singer of whom I was and am a huge fan on my 21st birthday, and many actors,…

Joe Biden is like the classic Letterman era joke that starts out awkwardly not funny, then becomes painfully unfunny, and then, through sheer persistence, finally becomes funny because you can’t believe this jackass is still trying to sell the joke. Also, I will always love him for this:

Ellen Page. I met her at club in Culver in 2009. I had a black eye and she asked me how I got it. I told her I ran into a stop sign and she goes: “You’re supposed to stop at those.”

Oh this I might actually have a good one!

Anthony Bourdain....if he wasn’t a dick to me, it would have been disappointing.

Saw him and Eric Ripert speak and afterwards waited an hour for him to sign his new book Medium Raw. Got to the table , my turn he looks at me with utter disdain and says “name” I said said Rachele (just like Rachel from Friends). He…
