My now-fiance and I met at work. I was doing fairly menial work there after not being able to find a real job after finishing my master's. He was married. After working there for a couple months, we just realized we "clicked" and had a strong emotional bond. He up and decided to leave his wife of almost 10…

You're probably right, but just for the record, my friend from South Africa told me (a few years back, before this Pistorius case) about high-tech security being dismantled or subverted—he said quite a lot of "inside job" stuff goes on, where people working inside the home (as housekeepers, etc.) giving out security…

Ah right. I missed that. Well, yeah — he wasn't worried, or he's really stupid.

Not to defend Oscar Pistorius's actions, but knowing someone from South Africa, I have heard many horror stories about break-ins there. Almost all the robberies I've been told about are armed robberies, and the victims were all either injured (tied up, pistol whipped) or shot. It happens a lot. I'm just saying this…

Yep, same here. I have two great-grandfathers born here. I enjoy soccer, Ann Coulter. I guess I must hate America, or something.

This makes zero sense:

I was nine years old when the movie came out. I thought David Bowie was both creepy and cool, but I was definitely on side with her rejecting him. I didn't have much of a dark side yet at that point. Now, if I was only just watching it for the first time today....

I can believe that. I remember loving her in Labyrinth and then seeing her in The Rocketeer five years later when she was all grown up. Then people like Julia Roberts, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Reese Witherspoon became these huge, A-list stars and I didn't understand why Connelly wasn't on the leading lady list with them,…

I never bought any of their clothes, but I *will* miss their perfume. I had a big bottle of Juicy Couture, the signature scent, and it was very sweet and girly without being cloying.

The fact that you resort to insult is indicative of your level of thinking. You have no idea why I didn't keep pursuing journalism, but thanks for playing. FYI, I didn't quit because I anticipated that maybe someone might jack off in front of me. Hope you had fun trolling today.

As someone who used to be a reporter, I can tell you emphatically that no, no it is not. I am very, very glad that none of my interview subjects ever jacked off in front of me.

As a child who was spanked, slapped, hit with a belt, and was on the receiving end of the old "knuckle digging into scalp" tactic, I hope that when I'm a mother that I never, ever hit my children. I know that I'm in control and choose what kind of discipline to dole out, but I also know from years of babysitting that…

Come on Gwyneth. Beyonce is perfectly capable of taking herself on a yoga retreat. It was MY turn. Not cool.

Beyonce I see as an amazingly talented performer, but her persona completely turns me off, so I have a hard time even enjoying the quality stuff she puts out (if I go missing, blame the Beygency). With Rihanna, I think she's a talented singer and there's something about her that is more real and raw, less polished to…

ITA. I got through four, maybe five of the books and finally asked myself, What am I doing? The heroine is completely charmless and makes dumb decisions . . . I did enjoy the secondary characters sometimes, but it wasn't enough. But when the final book was published, I did go through the last chapter of it at the…

I would definitely watch your show over True Blood. The Business Insider recap was useful because I had totally, completely, and utterly blocked out the season finale and most of the preceding episodes. I only have flashes: vamp prison/Terry dies/Eric bursts into flame....fade into static.

She looked stunning, but I basically agree with you. I think with Rihanna a lot of it is about her enjoying her absolutely smokin' bod, making hay while the sun shines and all that. Miley, on other hand, well, I get a different vibe from her nudity and other antics. That smacks more of sheer (heh) desperation.

Does that mean she has to be the one to teach men not to rape? Why is she responsible for what rapists decide to do? I think she's doing what she can — there is only benefit in educating women to take precautions and be aware of their surroundings. I think she is great for speaking up about this and I have no…

Hugs to you, too. I'll be 38 in a couple weeks and I'm getting a bit nervous about the biological clock and all, but I'm still hopeful I can carry a child to term.

This whole story just struck me as hilarious. That is all.
