At the end I advise you to come back home

I was actually kind of impressed that he came up to her and apologized in person, rather than just firing off his own tweet for PR.

He actually approached her and apologized.

You know, I just can't really bring myself to get upset about a guy who is having a rough time of it - especially after everyone lauded him for really going above and beyond to connect with an unknown child. (A belief her mother apparently fostered, for whatever reason.) He made an admitted faux pas, and then…

I agree. The fun is in the journey, truly, because what could you really take away from meeting Matt Damon? "I met Matt Damon. He said some stuff. I said some stuff back. We didn't get married. The end." But the cab rides with your friends? The banter with the drivers? The almost-easy-as-pie entrance into the frickin'…

I don't think it would be particularly creepy then, either. I think what made the difference between sexualized stalking and just a silly adventure is that they didn't seem to have any interest in actually interacting with Damon. They just wanted to see the movie set.

The story is funny because it's so unlikely that their "plan" would actually work, just going around saying, "Where is Matt Damon?" The goal is less interesting than how it happened.

This is a fantastic story! I love how it was told in tweets.

Okay, that made me laugh. Mostly because she clearly didn't want to bother Matt Damon or propose marriage or fuck up the shoot. It started out as a fun day out and as obstacles popped up it turned into a quest of "we have invested this much of our time and dignity into seeing Matt Damon and by God WE WILL SEE MATT…

Ah, that was my point exactly, but I didn't execute it properly! Marriage does not a love make. However, sometimes it's the only way to get "the people" to get it. They weren't just hanging out on the weekends, they had planned a life together. Thanks for the reply!

I totally agree with the sentiment that you can be a widow/widower without marriage, absolutely. Exactly because of that, I think the idea of saying "they were clearly very much in love, very serious, they were planning a marriage" isn't a good benchmark. Lots of people rush into marriage, and many relationships,…

Boys of a certain age: STOP IT with that face you make in pictures. Stop. It.
THEY'RE ALL GONNA LAUGH AT YOU.

I don't have a problem with this. Being sequestered is very disruptive to a juror's life... I don't begrudge them a few creature comforts just because I don't like the verdict.

Say what now? The jurors did not sit in an empty room, staring at each other intensely for a month? HOW DARE THEY?
Just stop it. So many things are wrong with this case, and you go after THIS?

They probably just wanted them somewhere there wouldn't be a lot of other people.

Wait, I'm supposed to be angry now that a Sherrif escorted them to an outback where they were allowed to purchase their own blooming onion? There are many reasons to feel outrage over the Zimmerman trial. This is not one of them.

Since I was basically accused of misogyny yesterday for smack talking Rachel Bilson's (hopefully fake) neck tats, I would like to go on the record as saying that I am an equal opportunity hideousness-by-choice-hater: Bieber's tattoos are among the most wretched ink I have ever seen on a celebrity, if not the worst.

I don't have a single tattoo so I'm no expert but J Biebs looks like he has his designs drawn by a 5 year old. That cougar or whatever it is looks absolutely ridiculous, like he took the mascot from a local high school and threw it on his arm.

It's supposed to be the year his Mother was born, 1975, but it's a 1,9,7 and 5 individually enumerated, because no one will offer this guy a dissenting opinion on ANYTHING, seemingly.

I hate Biebs' taste in tattoos, but whatever he wants to do etc etc. BUT why is he sticking with an artist this mediocre?
