@morninggloria: Marry Britney Spears in Vegas.

@TheFormerJuneBronson: All true. But I don't think the Christianity thing applies so much with Lieberman.

EWW.

@OneTwoPunch: Drugs. Viagra and the like.

@CurtCole: We shop at the same bakery. I always order my desserts with their special hard sauce.

@CurtCole: Goes well with some glazed, rum-soaked balls.

@Anna: Those pears are so sweet and juicy it's almost indecent to eat one in public.

Yeah, because the fashion industry is sooooo concerned about the welfare of adolescents. Noooooo they'd never want to seen teenage girls be exploited for the sake of novelty or as a marketing gimmick.

@Lymed: Mmmm...Might have to try that.

@Lymed: But do they get lacy and crunchy? That's the point of grating them. Well, that and getting your knuckles bloodied.

@Lymed: chops it into cubes or into matchsticks?

You gotta grate the potato, first of all. None of those latkes made of mashed potatoes—they always come out leaden and clumpy instead of crispy on the outside. Grate, add some grated or thinly sliced onion, get the oil nice and hot and then give them about 30 seconds each side.

I think she sounds terrific and the haters sound like...haters. Which is about what I'd expect from Elle editors anyway. If you don't march in lockstep with Big Fashion, watch out!

Oh, well, if GAWKER says it's over....

@Flackette Goes Retro: Agreed. Maybe people don't know what a real douchebag is anymore, but actually, that's a sign of progress.

@Penny: Yeah, I wonder about that too. A teacher having lots of out-of-school contact with students is always a red flag, but it depends on what the context is.

Gross. Had it been male teachers abusing female students, they never would have used that term.

@NellMood: I wanted to ask if Dodai peeked in her medicine cabinet, but I thought that would be tacky.

I'm afraid my brain stopped functioning after I read at the home of Gloria Steinem.

@badmutha: Shaka Zulu is getting ready to bust out of his grave and avenge himself RIGHT NOW.
