Angelina Jolie has been telling the story of how she considered becoming a funeral director for years. I definitely read about it more than once during her Billy Bob era, and I was someone who only read her interviews when the photoshoots caught my eye. Not sure why this is being treated as new information. I guess…

That cracks me up, because one of the first observations the Television Without Pity recapper made about the Buffy the Vampire Slayer pilot back in the day was, "Buffy wakes up, sporting more eye makeup than I wear in a month." It's a long-standing WB/CW-vampire-show tradition!

LOL at that answer coming from a group that likes to throw out "Well when SHOULD all abortion be banned then? What if a woman wants an abortion five minutes before birth???"

I'm so sad that I can't appeal to a man who calls women dumb broads.

I'm not married (although because I don't have a relationship with my father and didn't want his surname, I just changed my last name to one I picked because I liked it), but I would go with Ms. For one thing, you don't actually "need" to do anything, it's not like the Miss/Mrs thing is codified into law, and for…

The "paying child support to your rapist" thing has actually happened in my state, in a case far more cut-and-dried than this one. A 14-year-girl was raped repeatedly by a family friend and got pregnant twice. The judge awarded custody to the rapist because he had a job and a home and would supposedly provide "a more…

His politics are not pro-choice. He has introduced two versions of the Sanctity of Life Act, a bill that aims to legally define life and "legal personhood" as beginning at conception. That is anti-choice legislation. Calling that "not wanting to federally outlaw abortion" is total bullshit; talk about misinformation.…

Wow. You have to wonder if it's even occurred to her that as soon as they're married, they'll have sex and not be virgins anymore and a full one-half of her husband criteria will be rendered irrelevant. And then from the sound of it all they'll have in common is that they're both Christians. And they will be sharing…

My $.02: I saw the second one and thought it was boring as fuck. I wasn't expecting great cinema, but so many people, even people who think the books suck, told me that the movies were fun and watchable, so I went with my little brother around the holidays. It's one of the few movies I've considered walking out on. It…

I find this so interesting because it almost seems like men get offended if women don't baby them, or soften the blow by wheedling or teasing or something. Which I would think a person would interpret as hugely offensive in a business situation, and yet I have repeatedly encountered the scenario you describe, where a…

If creationist logic is what Perry describes, "we don't know how or how long it took, but we believe a supreme being created the universe", why don't creationists just believe that God created evolution/God made the world, then evolution happened according to his design? This seems like the simplest answer to me. Is…

I'm so embarrassed for her.

I'm in Oklahoma, the land of no sex ed, so I didn't have anything - we had one afternoon in fifth grade where they split the boys and girls up and told us about how we'd be getting our periods and our breasts would develop (rather late for a good portion of our class) and that as we became adolescents our faces would…

A cell phone doesn't cost $60/month if you rarely talk on it and don't use it for internet and all that other stuff. My TMobile plan is $30/month for 300 minutes (which I never come close to using). If you want to text, you can add 400 messages for five bucks a month. I don't have a landline, but my mom only pays…

You're right, particularly when the drugs are mixed with alcohol. People can die. Whether or not rape was involved or was a goal, drugging anyone without their consent should be seen as a physical assault in and of itself, in my opinion. (I don't know what the actual criminal charge is, but I hope to hell there is…

Wow, I didn't know who either of those guys were, and I'm obviously not familiar with their acting ability, but based on a quick Google image search I'm intrigued by your ideas and would like to subscribe to your newsletter. Those are the best picks I've seen (far better than Alex Pettyfer as Peeta, no thank you).

I agree that Red Riding Hood was not very good, but not because of any sexual content. (It's actually giving the film way too much credit to say that it deals with any "tough subjects," because...it doesn't. It's a really generic mainstream film and not transgressive or original at all. The main character isn't…

I'm not familiar with Kathy Griffin's comedy, so I can't speak on whether or not she's a bully, but Sarah Palin making that accusation? OH HI I'M A POT AND YOU KETTLE ARE TOTALLY BLACK.

But we all know that in reality what he (and people like him) are offended by is women having sex without some method of male social control. He's just mad that Portman is happy and successful with her choices instead of being cast down into some time-warp shame-gutter where no one will hire an unwed mother and she…

I do not for the life of me understand how CPCs are allowed to pretend they are medical professionals when they are not. I guess they're not performing surgery or doing any procedures that require board certification so they're not technically practicing medicine without a license, but they ARE dispensing medical…
