So I wasn't the only one who read the headline 5 times and then started on the article before figuring out what it meant.

Her work with Rilo Kiley before that album was better, and amazing, IMO.

Nailed it. 

“The right to contraception”?  Buy your own contraception ladies - your body - our hands off, right?

Meh, plenty of people say they "went to Europe" despite Europe being comprised of many countries.

Jesus, this writing. I came in here to make a pretty milquetoast reaction I had already written in my head (“I’m not exactly an Alec Baldwin fan, but the man has been through some shit, so I’ll give him a pass on this.”). But this kind of column on an easily made mistake (he has seven children under ten and an adult

The Carrie Fisher item is wrong. Billie was talking about her aunts and uncle, Carrie’s siblings, not Billie’s own. Billie herself is an only child as far as I know. 

That’s not what she’s saying though? She’s saying she didn’t feel the same emotional connection to him that she did to Brad, not “eh, he’s fine but he doesn’t try.”

Jezebel’s ostensible principles are there for the purpose of criticizing other people, not to guide their own behavior.

I don’t go out of my way to talk to them, but I also don’t dread bumping into them and do things like exchange memes every now and then, etc. It’s

This is absolutely right. None of us would have to care about the Hiltons and Kardashians of the world, except that they’ve inexplicably become the aspirational figures for an entire generation. I mean, everyone wants to be rich, but at least my generation got brought up idolizing people who actually DID real and

Bad storytelling is made worse with bad sentences and Paris is a minefield of try-hard metaphors (“The endless school day felt like being waterboarded with a vanilla milkshake”; “Time slipped out of joint, like a dislocated shoulder”; “People broke into that house like it was a Cadbury Crème Egg”)

I am not going to read this memoir because I don’t like Paris Hilton. I read this review on the off-chance that maybe I was wrong and maybe there is something introspective here or something worth re-contextualizing about her that I would be interested in as a pop culture consumer. Nope. She comes off as the same
