@Mekklesack: I understand what she went through at the hands of her parents, agents, and the sycophants who surrounded her. But lots of child stars had that and turned out ok. Sooner or later it's not Mom and Dad's fault anymore. It's you.

@Rooo sez BISH PLZ: Well, being that we're talking about a rumor started by a prostitute on a gossip site, rather than Sheen being actually arrested for having said suitcase, I don't really think that White Male Privilege applies here. See, he's not in the penal system, so comparing him to people who are and who have…

We view the entertainment industry as entertainment. Those who work in in view it as a job. And make no mistake - it is hard work that requires everyone on the team to pull their weight.

@Ian Glenn: I know, right?

@Oryx: Journalism Gold!

@Katomic: Kills me every time, too.

The news coverage was endless.

@littlefoots: Yes. That too.

@ZIP: This is relevant, because an accused criminal has everything to gain about lying about it, right? And forensics would show a different cause and effect than what we see on the tape, right?

I took a random poll of the big, hairy guys at The Eagle, and none of them want to eat her.

@FREEMAN_TSINQ: It's kind of a Gawker staple on a slow news day.

Don't tase me, bro! Let me murder you instead!

@ImasturbatetoChristineODonnel: We have an actual list of people who could use a good zap: [spotcrime.com]

@Midwest_Elitist: Yes. It's been an interesting week so far: [spotcrime.com]

OMG fascist police state brutality! Why, my goodness, people will be tased for eating ice cream! For ordering a latte! For ditty-bopping down the street with a bag from Anthropologie!!010!!)1!

@FormerlyTheGreatestDriver: I know! I have yanked keys out of the hands of very large men and very long-nailed ladies because if you're nice enough to get drunk with, you deserve to live.
