That’s fucking gross, but also, how pathetic do these folks have to be to think “the reason I can’t sleep with Natalie Portman is that she hasn’t turned 18 yet?”. Trust me, that wasn’t the major barrier.

She was severely overmedicated and cut off from managing her own social media for many years thanks to Jamie. She’s basically getting to be the teenager she was never allowed to be, and an adjusted medication regimen takes some time to settle. 

I couldn’t agree more - the pictures I’ve seen since her emancipation don’t appear to be of someone playing with a full deck.  The conservatorship was overkill, but again having a real wealth manager and financial advisor is going to be critical to keeping various hangers-on from bleeding her dry.  Granted no one can…

I also think she’s not 100% right now. No one is talking about it, but just because she is out from under someone else’s control doesn’t mean she doesn’t need help. I hope she is able to find her way.

Exactly. The issue was never that she wasn’t getting big paychecks, it was that she had a zillion people taking bits of it before it arrived in her pocket.

Man I hope Spears has a true professional managing her money.  $15MM is a lot, but after tax it would be pretty easy to squander with the wrong spending habits and delusions about lifestyle.

God bless Cox’s friend who told her “no more!” I definitely think people can forget what a human face is supposed to look like when they are surrounded by people with fillers and botox. I have seen groups of women, all with noticeable duck lips and stiff cheeks, and had some sympathy for them. “Beauty” is just what…

My mom and I are both big Hallmark watchers and she is OBSESSED with Lacey Chabert’s movies, it’s adorable. We were very excited to see that she’ll be with Hallmark for at least another two years doing big things. Silly, but it just makes me smile to think about how happy it makes my mom :)

Pretty sure it violates their 1st amendment rights to even try and do this shit. It’s just another argument against the bible thumping states and their bullshit. I hope Florida breaks off into the ocean.

I was raised conservative, am very leftist now, and as a PR professional, leftists make me want to bash my head against a wall almost constantly. Our messaging is AWFUL - it’s not the only reason we lose elections, but it’s a big factor.

It’s not a legitimate question. Rape survivors’ DNA should not be entered into a searchable criminal database. End of story. Rape victims are not criminal suspects, regardless of what they’ve done in the past or may do in the future. Putting them in that database is so wrong and will have a chilling effect on the…

The victim’s DNA shouldn’t be kept in the database full-stop. Murders are extremely rare, even amongst felonies, and it’s completely unreasonable to structure the justice system around them when the majority of offenses are non-violent.

Devils advocate:

Someone you know (call them Person A) is murdered. Police collect DNA evidence, but otherwise have no real leads. They run the DNA, and it comes back positive linking to a rape test kit from the previous year. Do they convict? Or do they ignore it because its inappropriate?

You can shrug this off, but…

Ugh, ladies, you SAID to test the rape kits so we DID. Now you’re mad at us for doing what you wanted! Women! Can’t live with ‘em. Pass the beernuts.

Spermicidal, maybe?

One patient McDonald-Mosley recently worked with concluded that a non-hormonal septic contraceptive gel would work best for her—only for her insurance company to require her to pay $300 out-of-pocket for just 12 applications of the gel, which she couldn’t afford.
