Agreed all around. But Radar released this in a very leading way that seems different from the decades of infuriating whispered rumor-mongering. Particularly given their statement that this has been a four-year investigation - they aren’t going to settle for a blind item at the end of that. Whether this story is a…

Came here to say exactly the same thing. My cat attacks normal pants for fun. If I wore those pants he would be in ecstasy, and I would be bleeding.

Yeah, my grandmother’s late-in-life interests included crossword puzzles and whatever the mean lady who screamed when you changed the channel in the common room liked to watch on TV.

Apparently he started watching a lot of football the last year of his life in a care home. That is probably more indicative that his eyesight got so bad that he was unable to read as much, so he had to watch TV to keep himself entertained, vs. some late-in-life conversion whereby he considered sports more important…

Exactly - right? For that much money I was expecting a solid piece of highly unethically sourced yet gorgeous tropical hardwood, not some particle-board laminate garbage that looks like it’s from IKEA.

Because some clueless moron was willing to pay $17.5K for a table that lights up is why it cost that much. Seriously, though. LEDs are cheap as fuck. $3K would have been a generous price for that table, ignoring the question of why a university thinks it needs a light-up LED table in their dining hall.

I don’t think it’s Tom Cruise, and I also don’t think it’s particularly helpful to speculate who may or may not be a pedophile. It’s just people grasping for what would be the most surprising answer to the question. It’s what Radar intended when they posted it.

I don’t actually think it’s him, because he definitely couldn’t have kept something like this buried through his PR-meltdown over the last decade. I was just pointing out that there was a point in time where he seemed like a totally stable family man. But no, not for quite awhile now. I’m always amazed how people like…

My cousin’s death certificate says he died of a heart attack. But it was a heart attack caused by a drug overdose. Similarly, aspiration-pneumonia = essentially choking on your own vomit due to a drug overdose. I mean, we can pretend Jim Morrison also died of a random heart attack, and Jimi Hendrix died of…

Has anyone anywhere ever considered Bill Murray to be a “family man”? Also, a guy who runs all of his business through an answering machine and is barely reachable doesn’t seem sufficiently organized to be the “kingpin” of anything.

It could be they report this as a teaser so that they get credit for the scoop, knowing the cops will contact them when they publish it, and this gives them some control over the story when the police department leaks like a sieve.

Mel Gibson definitely used to be presented as a family man before he turned into the crazy, bearded, sugar-tits guy. He had seven children with his first wife and seemed like a perfectly normal person until around ten years ago.

Because of the combination of it being a revered, A-list, family-man, and the insinuation that this is someone who seems to be squeaky clean. He’s all of those things, and would probably be the most shocking possible answer here. Also he’s old enough to have been doing crap like that in the 80s. But really it’s…

Also, aren’t all of the rumors that Downey anonymously comments online (like on CDAN) trying to expose shit like this without it coming back on him and damaging his career?

Yeah, that’s an eye movement, not an eye roll.

I don’t get the sense that Beck is all about it. Any of his “endorsements” of Scientology I’ve seen have been very lukewarm. Very reminiscent to me of celebs doing contractually mandated promotion of a film that should have been good, and that they thought was going to be good when they signed on and which ended up…

I think in her case (and probably a lot of others) she was someone who wasn’t able to become a pro dancer, and decided to instead translate her pre-existing thinness and flexibility into the appearance of having had a long-term yoga practice. And along with the thinness and flexibility she brought lots of baggage from…

I can definitely see ADD being overlooked. I am ADHD. The psychiatrist who diagnosed me literally laughed at me fidgeting and squirming in my chair and said, “How is it possible you were never diagnosed with ADHD until now? Almost no women are hyperactive. And you really obviously are.” It made me a little…

I’ve no doubt insane and self people can be good teachers for the physical side of yoga, it really worries me when people like that present themselves as having deep spiritual knowledge and understanding, and start giving people life advice.

I knew from day one I would only live there for 5 months, so annoying though she was, I could learned to deal with it knowing there was a clear end in sight.
