She started crying as he tried to put gloves on her hands, or he started crying as he tried to put gloves on her hands? Both of these stories are potentially interesting, but in very different ways.

Hm, yes, I see where you're coming from there.

The actual gentlemanly thing would have been for Cheney to offer her his handkerchief. SHAME ON YOU, SIR.

I found it particularly oppressive and depressing when they started spamming me with thebump.com emails starting on my first anniversary.

This is what happens when you forget to send a thank-you note, Tyler.

Why are there so many people who suck??

Midwestern food sensibilities may be a little strange, but it's not often I hear the argument that Midwesterners don't know their way around steak. I think the problem here is in ordering a steak at f'ing Cracker Barrel. There are only two types of acceptable meat at a Cracker Barrel: that which has been ground,…

I think it depends at least in part on the level of engagement. Three people will only ever be a threesome, but I think with enough enthusiasm and team spirit you can make an orgy of four people.

That show was adorable. And she was really darling in it. I have no idea what's been going on lately, though.

Wouldn't it be amazing if he spent everything he earned that night on your gig just hiring a pro to accompany him?

Interesting…I guess based on the theory that it's nice to see your S.O. playing? Where are you usually seated at weddings?

It's like Gregory's Mom WANTS to get put in a home.

What in the world made your DJ think he could bring a date? Who brings a date to work?

Is this as much of a departure from the mainstream beauty…

In this case I think that Jane Marie has chosen someone who reflects "mainstream beauty standards" because that person is her sister. If I had a blog like this (and a sister) I would be totally tickled to have a chance to feature her.

I know. I do use a lot of things, but nothing so fancy or well-plotted as all this. And I already feel like I'm spending the absolute maximum amount of time and effort I can on my appearance. Sometimes I stand in the shower and think "I can't believe all the various things I need to do to all the various hairs,…

Holy crap. That's crazy. But I bet they get HUNDREDS of those.

Are you 100% sure, though?

Yeah, I never got this either, and as someone who orders cheeseburgers and fries with Diet Cokes, this is a critical issue in my life. I just happen not to like regular Coke, so why waste 250 calories on something I don't like, instead of getting something I do like for no calories?

Because of money, probably. There were rumors around the time of Precious that she was getting really demanding about money; requesting appearance fees to do standard promotional activities, etc. If that pattern continued after her Oscar win, then it may simply come down to her demanding a lot of money that producers…
