The Smollett case is so strange. The State Attorney’s office HAD to know that this would garner national media attention. But they did it anyway and are now scrambling to justify it? Every day I’m left to ponder whether anyone in this country still uses basic reasoning skills and logic.

attention sought -attention granted

IDK. It was really vague. The most explanation was he needed/wanted to be in Australia for “family reasons.” I guess his grandfather had died a year or two earlier so maybe that had something to do with it?

You take the stairs when headed down? Hi, in DC that’s not an option. The Metro only has escalators. There are no stairs from the entrance to the ticket gates. The only “stair” option is when the escalators are broken and turn into stairs. So yeah, I’m going to walk down those stairs and not just stand there and wait…

Oh, he wanted to (insisted) on leaving the show for “personal reasons” so they really had no choice. It wasn’t a voluntary plot point.

It was already cancelled in my heart when Mountie Jack died. RIP.

The antoni/john stamos/ed sheeran row on the right - such a genius nightmare

Sadly I know that Kourtney and Rob both have college degrees. That was before/during the beginnings of the Kardashian kraze. The rest obviously saw no need. Not sure the younger ones even finished HS?

So if adults shouldn’t consume milk, then no one should be eating cheese, yogurt, or ice cream? Okay then. 

This is such a great profile! Thank you for your insightful questions. Mikaela seems like a really great person in addition to being an incredible, unbelievable athlete.

The exact timing was voluntary - the test had to be completed within 30 days and I didn’t think about my Christmas eating when I decided to schedule it for the day I got back.

Actually, my for Christmas, my sister-in-law’s Hungarian family always sends these logs that are filled with poppy-seed paste. I probably ate two logs over the week of Christmas (that’s like two small bread pans). Then I had a drug test the next week at work and I, like a dumbass, tested positive for opioids. Luckily,…

What are the odds JLaw actually gets married? She seems to flit from relationship to relationship. Is this actually serious?

1.2 million out of 5.3 million people. Yep, sounds like most/all people think the same way! Just like all Americans are ardent Trump supporters. He’s the president, right? And everyone who voted for him was an American, no? 

uff da, ooookay, you betcha!

Who’s “they?” Scott Walker signed that order. So all residents of Wisconsin are responsible for his bullshit? I guess all residents of Virginia are responsible for Ralph Northam’s KKK/blackface photo too.

Colin Kaepernick is from Wisconsin, so there’s clearly bullshit posturing going on there but whatever.

The Celine Dion story is odd as well. I first saw photos of her in Paris during Fashion Week and while she’s always been thin, she is SO gaunt right now, it’s pretty terrifying. And this backup dancer/boyfriend seems like he could be a scammer? 

The Hayden Panetierre story is troubling not so much because she gave full custody to the father but because of the circumstances surrounding the situation. I guess it’s good Hayden realized her home wasn’t a healthy environment for her child but “it’s because of all the drugs and partying” isn’t a good reason. Also,…

The mass is specifically the Catholic service, i.e., the ritualistic celebration of Holy Communion. You can’t attend mass at a Protestant church by definition. You attend a service.
