@JanetMadsen: Thank you. I found it largely true, but also just something worth thinking about. It's not live or die rules.

@netfe: Think o' it like this - if Kristen Bell's stock goes up, for example, through a hit TV show, studios will see her as more bankable and would me much more likely to greenlight a Veronica Mars movie.

@TulsaTime: Oooo, gladly! Filmspotting; www.filmspotting.net. It's a pretty popular one.

@oshiee: My fave podcast was discussing that. They were also surprised, as she is definitely the LEAD, but I think the production company thought they'd have more chance of her winning with supporting.

@frankie22: I could watch this all day. MUCH better than working.

@unmoldednicole: I know! I want to be her friend SO BAD. And I do not think this about the fifty other celebrities I actually admire.

@physalis: Excellent. The truth, you speak it.

Hey, I married someone who loved me and I loved in my 20s!

@Oceanic: Very much so.

@Daniel Hinkles: You sure about that last one? *furrows brow* Not in a defensive sense, but curiosity - I believed it was the opposite, Americans actually make more noticeably more wages (so leaving out social benefits), but work ridiculous hours for it.

My very happily married-for-45-years parents - curvy lady, skinny dude - and my very happily married-for-14-years sister and hubs - curvy lady, almost downright PETITE dude - would like to have words with this study.

@Curt Cole: This is all true, comments like that are snarking, and all of this is absolutely nothing new in the world of LiLo.

@FuktLogik: "Too Much" is a value judgment; there is no actual price sheet for this item, like any randomly priced discretionary good.

@LennyGc: It's true, it's a lot; it's not something you'd personally pay that much for. It's like most art, the setting of price is pretty arbitrary, and a testing of the market. (Usually a very HIGH test) Like you said, it's a limited edition.

Holy troll-attack in the comments, batman.

That Bill Murray story at the link makes me smile. He's just so... unique. Oh, so jealous of these people.

@mordicai: Mua ha ha that made me chuckle. Right there with ya'.

This perhaps puts me in a minority, but I fear this Lady Gaga-Springsteenization. I am a fan of her interesting, well-produced electropop, and do not believe the world needs more self-consciously introspective rock (which I do enjoy in the right hands) unless you're bringing something new to the table. Being Mr. Born…

@HeartRateRapid: I was about to write that myself. Love that name.

@TrishB: Yesssss, I also started reading ebooks on my Iphone(somehow, I feel like a dirty tech dork just SAYING that sentence) just this last month, and I'm smitten. It's so convenient, and I now want an e-book reader.
