But the courts had to intervene; that's where my confusion is. As far as I knew, custody preferences are given to birth parents barring some obscene circumstance. But as evidenced, I know very little about the process so I could certainly be ignorant of quite a bit here.

I'm confused as hell by this. I've always thought birth parents had first rights, no matter what? I've heard of former crack addicts getting their kids back even though someone wants to adopt them, but this guy who sounds like he was just confused can't keep his child? I really don't understand adoption law.

I just can't get over how incestuous celebrity is, and how all famous people seem to know each other. I also can't get over how many people in Hollywood are kissing Miley Cyrus' ass right now as if she delivered the fucking 'I Have a Dream' speech. Must be awesome to be considered relevant for basically humping a…

I do not understand why this does not have more stars.

I'm still kinda sad it isn't Maya Rudolph, to be honest.

I feel like even acknowledging this stupidity adds to it.

Oh I remember that Law & Order episode (as I literally do almost every L&O episode, because I am obsessed) - she was actually quite good in it! Fucked up episode though.

Not an M.I.A. fan but I'm definitely on her side here. She's supposed to pay them $1.5 mil for a finger flip, but they have no problem giving millions to convicts and felons, eh? Fuck you indeed, NFL.

Look, not every Spice Girl is going to be a Posh, okay? Some just stick with what made them famous

YES to this clip. Still makes me laugh hard after all these years. I miss Madeline Kahn. :(

I have nothing to say beyond he is so fucking hot.

Ah, that season was a fucking mess. I remember people calling her Trashelle because her overall demeanor reeked of trashy while she tried to play off as cute and innocent. Unappealing, but ripe for idiocy.

Now that I know the dad from Beasts of the Southern Wild will be in it, I'm looking forward to that Marvin Gaye movie. I loved him so much in that movie.

Ladies. The GOP knows better than you. Personal freedom only applies when you are freely choosing to think their way, m'kay?

But before this, Sean Hannity will interview them about how they've been victimized by Hollywood and their right to free speech has been attacked. THEY are the real victims here!

Real questions: What is the purpose of this? To try to regulate how people raise their children? What if the child wants to do this more than the adult? Will this work in any way, or is it more to make a statement? Truly I hate child pageants, but I can't believe this is a productive use of government. Does…

That Chris Martin episode of Extras is pretty damn funny. I was sad when he married Gwyneth and it started coming out that he seemed like something of a tool (though I have no idea if his tooliness began pre- or post-Gwyneth), but that made me kinda lurve him again. Plus I had to force myself to admit that Viva la…

I dunno, it was a black guy who did the shooting this time, and you know the same people who are so pro-gun will take that into consideration. Perhaps they will reconsider their stance now that black people are being scary on a national scale.

Oh the comments on Gawker. The comments.

It's actually pretty amazing how most men don't realize the degree to which most women are harassed daily. Once I went out after work with some co-workers, and I got into a conversation with another woman about the amount of harassment we deal with daily on the street, subway, etc. The men began listening in and…
