I’m skeptical about the “we’d move on” part. Jamie Lee Curtis, while acknowledging her privileges, recently explained how exacerbating it’s been for her to deal with the nepo baby issue throughout her 40+ year career: https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/jamie-lee-curtis-nepo-baby-debate-advantages-1235

She’s right though, it is boring and she’s under no obligation to pretend it isn’t. And there is no way that the fiftieth journalist in a row asking the same tired question about what she feels about the term “nepo baby” isresearching who is benefiting from varying systems of power and privilege.” 

OK look I have tremendous admiration for TS, but I don’t consider myself a fan. Like Kady Ruth Ashcroft I appreciate her pop bops. I was horrified by the VMA confrontation with Kanye West and intrigued by subsequent developments. Despite the peripheral nature of my interest, I do have a theory about her popularity.

Justin Timberlake is a shitstain for many reasons (add mocking Prince’s height to the very long list). Not wanting to be a father at 19 or 20 isn’t one of them.

Heart goes out to her, she has lived 400 lifetimes

They weren’t ready for kids. Are we really painting Justin as a bad guy for being honest about that?

The issue is not the separation but the lies.

Re Mr. Hamel’s sentiments: My late husband and I used to muse that we’re both embarrassed about how we each thought we loved someone else before we met. We both agreed that the ease of loving was what made a huge difference.

FFS, you know her and her motives, etc., about as well as I know King Charles. Leave the woman alone.

“I’ll talk about my life and when the kids were little and I was with them, but they’re men now,” she said. “They’ve got their own lives and there isn’t a man alive that’s going to talk to their mom about their personal life. It’s just not gonna happen.”

Did someone expect Momma Kelce to be all “We braided hair and painted our nails”? While the world seemingly needs Taylor for column inches, Mom knows better than to say anything!

Totally, and of course you can’t just throw a party in your backyard! You must spend thousands of dollars on a tent, and then you need the decor to make the tent look less tent-like etc. Throwing a party outside a venue is full of pitfalls and cost creep and is much more difficult to manage and execute in my opinion,

That sounds so cool! And God knows, anything is better than the bouquet toss. At my friend’s New Orleans wedding, she did cake pulls with fortunes on the end instead of the bouquet toss.

I feel like it’s important to think about this shift as part of an industry that has been totally shaken by 1. the collapse of one of their cornerstone retailers (David’s Bridal), 2. increased cost of operation and 3. consumers shrinking pools of disposable income. They’re desperate to remain relevant and essential to

There’s an important distinction that gets lost in nearly every discussion of “high-maintenance” women vs. “chill, “low-key,” etc. And that is the distinction between what you are doing/paying for yourself, and what you are asking of others.

One genuine anti-bride thing you can do to save a lot of money is tell all your vendors you're hosting a "family event" instead of a wedding so they can't jack up the costs. A friend of mine did this, and he saved thousands on the venue. 

Are my tastes that obscure?

Yeah you totally want your security guards giving their phone numbers out to a bunch of potentially underage girls on the job.

Why are people so obsessed with knowing the sexuality of celebrities? It’s none of your damn business. Whoopi Goldberg has addressed this question many times before so why push the issue.

In case anyone is wondering, key piece of information that was left out is that Hilton arrived on the island almost a week ago. So, I guess her sin is - not being able to predict the future?
