I was really surprised by that NPR comment section. Well more repulsed than surprised I guess. I would have thought NPR would moderate some of that offensiveness.

I got catfished in 2003-4. Sure I would have figured it out faster if MTV’s Catfish had been around back then and had saved myself embarrassment and such, but I didn’t. Since then, I’ve dated a few guys for a few months at a time, but I’ve been unable to allow a full emotional connection with any boyfriend. I haven’t…

I'm with you on all of this. When Jeff made the comment at first, Brandi cringed but seemed to brush it off quickly because she was caught up in the moment of live TV and drinking wine probably helped. Jeff and Brandi said that he brought it back up just before the show's last commercial break, which probably got…

Yes, I'm aware it was probably a mini-cold, not mini-flu. Kinja doesn't allow you to edit a comment after a while apparently and I promptly forgot about commenting on this until logging on today. #corrections

Yes I agree. I tried to change the comment when I made it yesterday to mini-cold but couldn't and promptly forgot about it altogether yesterday. Apparently they boosted this article on the main Gawker page. I logged on this evening to find multiple, almost angry comments pointing out the sort of Freudian slip. …

A lot of friends/co-workers said before flu season started, "I never get the flu/I haven't had the flu in so long that I'm not getting a flu shot this year." Meanwhile, I got my shot as usual. I did get sick a month or so ago that seemed like a mini-flu (24-48 hour symptoms, lingering cough for weeks, but eventually…

Oooh, I didn't know you got energy if you married someone. I bought the cat and it's helped me many times when I need just one more damned star to finish a task.

I haven't married anyone yet. It seems such a pain to finish my work tasks and maybe throw the occasional party, to also "date" someone so often enough that they don't break up with me. The fact that they criticize my outfits before each date, yet call me less than a few hours after the last date to have another one…

So I play the game as a gay player and my rivalry is with Dirk Diamonds. It's sort of hilarious, but one thing that bothers me is that I started out dating guys (I forget the D list baseball player's name that I lasted the longest with), but the game eventually forced me to start dating women when I ran out of guys…

I don't understand the blue/green hue to all of the commercials. If you start seeing blue after taking Viagra, aren't you supposed to see a doctor immediately? Besides, everyone knows the Cialis guys are hotter.

"I'd love to, daddy..." That makes me so uncomfortable for some reason, not just because Hermione is NOT Dumbledore's daughter in any shape or form.

***Potential trigger warning*** My father tried to rape my mother when I was four or five. All I remember is being summoned by my angry father to bring the large scissors, so he could cut apart her bath robe. I did it even though my mother was screaming at me not to. Cops were called, I tuned out the yelling and…

"It's called MySpace, but it's not lame like it used to be, cuz I own it. If you sign up, I'll put you in my top 8, I swear!"

I never thought of that as a rap honestly but I guess it is. Either way, the way he sounded on the ET interview tonight, it felt like Streep would be doing something new by "rapping". I dunno. He also said Tina Fey hired him to practice but implied she was terrible. I rarely watch ET anymore but stumbled across it…

I've been eagerly awaiting this movie's release for a while now and have mostly let the rumors or controversial interviews with Sondheim not get me too worked up. However, I saw a few clips on tonight's Entertainment Tonight, along with an interview with some movie consultant/music type that positively scared the…

She recently apologized to Tyra (via a public interview) about her past comments about Tyra and the show, so all is forgiven?

I tried to star it, but I don't have that capability on Jez I guess. So just wanted to say I liked your play on words and got what you were saying.

I'm hoping she performs it at the Oscars, but curious how she pulls off the final high note. I remember the sort of shaky but exciting performance for Wicked at the Tonys and have been a fan since then (I was late to the Rent train).
