Genuinely curious... is it a foregone conclusion that it's dictated? I understand, CELEBS: THEYRE BUSIER/MORE IMPORTANT THAN US! but with such quirky, off the cuff answers, it might be easier to just bang out the responses himself? I've dictated emails etc a few times (ok granted, only to my husband—not a paid

I say tuna fish sandwich (southeastern PA) but what the hell do I know?!

I'm in a very similar boat. I used to be in pretty decent shape (ah, youth) but with some years and babies, now I'm just...not quite there anymore. :). But id like to get back! I work out at home on a little treadmill, but was recently considering a long weekend to visit my cousin up in NYC. I thought, would I be

Ok, I'm sorry...I'm having a little trouble buying that they said, "sorry, ma'am—you're intimidating everyone with your toned body." They might have said with your "exposed abs" or "tank top," but toned body? Er, she might have had added that in after the fact. Just saying!

They certainly have some brass ones to ask for a 16 million dollar fine for the merest of flashes of a middle finger when they rake in that kind of $$$ tax free!!!

Exactly. I'm actually a little mad at Oprah for perpetuating/exacerbating Lindsey's delusions of grandeur—and let's be honest, and LiLo's expense. I'm not even going to touch her "sobriety"—but Lindsey seems to still think she's a big deal? That she's important enough to have cameras follow her around? That she can

Thank you! It isn't just a weepy eyed, nostalgic walk down Tradition Lane that the westerners are so callously dismantling—-this is a misogynistic practice rooted in the devaluing of women and (in order to subvert the very real power they have as child bearers of the community) render their fertility as some kind of

Thank you for pointing this out! I haven't purged in years—honestly, the thought only crosses my mind once in a blue moon—and oddly (or not?) after eating lunch and reading this Dirt Bag, with that picture kinda tumble-drying around in my head, I'm a bit...unnerved? TBH, triggered. Interesting corollary.

For some reason "slit" made it into my sexytime vernacular awhile back...I don't know if that's legit, but...{nervously awaits internet backlash}

Eh, vageena, vagina...doesn't make a (w)hole lotta difference!

ITS LIKE YOURE INSIDE OF OUR HOUSE!!!! Oh wow, I had to take a screen grab of your comment and send it to my husband at work—he responded, "that's too funny!"
See, we're the only ones of our friends/family with toddler-age children—and until very recently, the only ones with kids at all! So basically, all the anecdotal

To be followed by "'Victoria's Secret' Is Secretive" at 11:05.

12 years ago, as a freshman in college and grieving the recent passing of our beloved family dog, I'd started lurking around Petfinder. I found this little mutt—named "Randy"—and I inundated my parents in emails pleading with them to adopt him. Unbeknownst to me (they played it cool), they initiated adoption

But here she'd be making money off of a book because, presumably, she's got a story to tell—a story that, like it or not, people probably want to read. Actress at the core of Hollywood's party circuit, being enabled/coddled/excused by god knows who, doing outrageous and reprehensible shit...some will clutch pearls and

Pretty much every Busey acronym/meme/GIF out there is a powerful reminder to always wear your motorcycle helmet, kids!

"LOVE: Lusting Over Vegetables Everyday."

Thank you. The Oscars is what it has been for many, many years. Sure its length, its extravagence, its embarrassing representation of diversity in film can be off-putting...but who doesn't know that going in?!
I love Jezebel—but sometime I like to play a little game with media stories or events that I call "What Will

So just now, these guys are thinking this bill was a bad idea?!

High school teacher here (Latin—not history/social sciences, necessarily) and I am constantly begging my students to check out HBO's Iron Jawed Angels. (A.) It's a fascinating, compelling, WELL DONE narrative and (B.) My students (especially the female ones...sigh) have a really tenuous grasp on the whole
