Apple fritter at # 4? It's basically a vegetable.

Bambina and Marina?

You researched it! Good start, tech2120.

I don't know what you mean.

I can. I can fault them. Giving to charity is great, but it doesn't justify gross materialism and indulgence. You can't drive a diamond-studded Cadillac and treat your brace of butlers like crap and then host a fundraising gala for orphans in the Sudan and think you've done something great.

I read somewhere that it's in the contracts of all the girls in this band to remain single. I don't know if that's literally true, or if it's just expected, but the impression I got is that being single was part of the deal and she broke the rules (which doesn't make any of this any less messed up).

It means that everywhere. That's why Winston Churchill did it (albeit backwards).

"people wondered if this was some kind of sick punishment for a tabloid story about her spending the night with a boy band member. No, it was a public shaming." What's the difference?

You did ask why not everyone loves her. Butchbitch said she does love her, but is critical of her singing, which was a pretty well-rounded answer to your question. It doesn't mean she belongs to a "certain segment of the population."

I agree, I don't think her voice is great.

Isn't he 21? Why does everyone keep referring to him as a "kid?"

Armstrong didn't donate any money to scientific research, as far as I can tell. Livestrong did (for a while).

I'm genuinely sorry your friend is so ill, but approximately 1 in 3 people get cancer. That means everyone posting here has had a friend, colleague or family member struggle with the disease. It doesn't really qualify you for special insight. It might be worth looking into what Livestrong has actually done for your…

The immune system doesn't fight cancer, unfortunately. It doesn't recognise cancer cells as foreign.

'How come no one tells married people "look, you don't need a big fancy party to validate your choice to live with this person forever. Grow up."'

"This seems a common theme among many women."

What really bugs me is when people have usernames like "kayla's_mom."

What you've had is known as an "ah-ha moment." And there is no known cure.

I think he was counting on Oprah, and her mostly female viewership, to forgive him at that point. I could hear crickets chirping.

His autobiography would be a good place to start.
