I'm really disappointed in the tone of the comments.

I don't think the thirty-year relationship is necessarily telling. He might just have been lazy and she might just have been easy and accessible. I think it's very possible that he saw her as nothing but a possession (like a nice car or piece of art he kept for thirty years) and had no respect for her. I don't…

Oooh, you MUST rent Shame. Just came out on DVD. And make sure you have the pause button handy.

There is absolutely no way to have proof that a person has not cheated, unless you've never, ever allowed them out of your sight for even a second. A person can see a total stranger, meet them, and have sex with them, all in under five minutes. Perfectly normal people do this.

I don't care if other people get engagement rings. I might think it's a strange thing to want and a waste of money, but I don't actually care.

I went on a few dates with a forty-something year old man who insists that women do not have bowel movements. Or fart. He's an MD.

I don't think I'm too cool for a diamond ring, or any other engagement ring. Diamonds are problematic for all sorts of reasons. But beyond that, I don't want one (and wouldn't want a different stone either) because I dislike the meaning behind it. The only way that I would consider an engagement ring would be if we…

I liked her a lot around the time she adopted Maddox, which I think was at the end of the BBT relationship. She seemed to have calmed down a bit and was doing her own thing. And she was so gorgeous. (Not that she still isn't. I just recall some absolutely amazing photos from that time). It's not that I dislike her…

You're completely right. I don't care if she elopes of has a massive wedding (though something on the Kim Kardashian scale might be a bit gross), as long as they do what they like. I just don't get the thinking that oh, it's so sweet that she's finally going to have her big day since she didn't the first two times. It…

I've never read a tabloid. I do, however, read Jezebel.

Conflict, no conflict...isn't this the woman who claimed that she can't eat because children are starving? I don't begrudge a filthy rich woman with a filthy rich fiancee her expensive ring, but she comes off as rather disingenuous.

Angelina Jolie, since the breakup with BBT, has basically been the world's most famous Pretentious Undergrad.

I don't know why everyone always harps on the brother thing. It wasn't exactly a normal sibling-type kiss but I don't recall it being exactly making out. There is so very much about Angelina Jolie that is disconcerting; the brother thing (and the blood vial and the marriage to BBT) doesn't even scratch the surface.

The whole concept of engagement rings disgusts me, and I too am surprised at the number of women, even modern, independent feminists, who care so much about them. Though to be fair, it seems that a lof of Jezebelles feel the the same way.

What? My point is that it doesn't matter who she is or how many times she got married before. Nobodey needs "the big day". It's ridiculous.

Olivier Martinez seems far too cool to get swept up in all this. I have no idea what he's thinking. I'm not saying that she's had an easy life or that she's a bad person, but Halle Berry seems like a deeply troubled woman.

Well, to be fair, Brad does seem heartbreakingly stupid. I don't imagine that they talk about much.

Nobody needs the whole shebang.

You know, I'm pretty sure that most of these dudes' grandfathers or great-grandfathers or great-great-grandfathers (the bridge-building, war-fighting, real manly men that they think they are, from the good old days that they so revere) would slap them if they heard them talking about women this way. And then tell them…

What I've noticed about this is that it's not about looking young; it's only about being young. The men who are obsessed with younger women are obsessed with their age, not how they look. They might say that younger women have better bodies or better skin or shinier hair and that that's why they're more attractive,…
