People rag on her for looking old? This is news to me.

I don't know her, but I know enough to see that getting married to someone that you know is a verbally abusive asshole is a terrible idea.

You and I are >here<, although I'll take it a step further and say that I never cared for that passive-aggressive dullard on either show.

My statement was neither ridiculous, nor judgy. It was accurate.

Somehow, I don't think that her being a yoga instructor will do a thing to change his attitude.

You and I will have to agree to disagree on this because while I know it is beloved by many, I've always found (original) Sparkle to be overrated. I'll even take it a step further and say that Dreamgirls (the flick) was a newer and improved version of this movie.

That's just it - I can't picture there being any love there (and it isn't just because of the age difference, though it certainly doesn't help matters) for me to doubt that her youth (as well as her willingness to tolerate his ugly ways) was what motivated him to propose to her.

Now that would make too much sense.

Oh, that's easy, Debbie. DANCE means that if I want fame, well, it costs and right here is where I start paying...in sweat.

1. Well, I think it's safe to say that this chick's self-esteem is in the gutter, as there's no other way to explain why she would want to marry that bigoted gasbag.

Overall, this movie looks better than its predecessor. The mother has more to do than just be the silent and suffering type (something that, I'm sure, has something to do with Whitney being cast instead of a random Blacktress) while the middle daughter actually has more lines than she ever had in the original.

*sigh*

Well played...

1. I'm not surprised that Diva Elton believes that he could've ended up as Whitney, considering that he's been frank about trying to disappear in a cocktail of drink and drugs. I, too, am glad that he had the strength to break free from his addictions, though I'm still saddened by the fact that only one of the two…

1. That Lisa Loeb is one of my favorite White Girl Songs of all time. Brings back great memories of my first year of adolescence, when those lyrics spoke to my heart. (Though the movie that spawned it is one of the most overrated flicks that I've ever seen.)

For the record, I don't follow the Jezebel rule of "bodysnarking" in (my) life, as I've got issues with that term and how easily it is used as a shield of sorts. Nevertheless, while I obey the rules of this site, I still it refreshing when someone (whether it'd be a Jezebel editor or commenter) breaks that wall and…

Demi's plastic surgery predated Charlie's Angels 2 by almost a decade ca: Striptease) - when her daughters were rather young (and impressionable). And while Megan wasn't thinking of her unborn children, I'm sure that how her plastic surgery would affect her in the future wasn't something that never entered her mind.

If it wasn't her, it'd be another plasticized starlet that'd be the focus of this article - as many fit the bill.

A while ago, I read somewhere that Carson Daly's secret to his success is his utter blandness. Though it hadn't made sense to me then (since all I knew him for was putting on a terrible black-cent whenever hip pop/pop-n-B artists visited TRL [a.k.a.: the only time I ever bothered to watch that show]), it all came…

Exactly. To say that this article is out of line for pointing out the obvious is ridiculous.
