Craig, that's because this is what's called an "anomaly".

My point is that "royalty" has nothing to do with it. Yes, the media guidelines issued by Buckingham Palace are a tad pompous, but functionally they're no different from the protocol sheets the White House (and the State Department's Protocol Office), and their equivalents across the planet, issue on a near daily…

Surprised no one brought up Glenn Beck for saying the same asinine bullshit.

According to Waxman, victim shaming is a "legit contrarian view." Anyone who disagrees is a "mob." She goes on to contend that it's an issue of free speech (and then complains about the people exercising free speech by telling her how full of shit she is). She later wrote a post explaining that Stellar is one of…

I'm one of those guys who Jez commenters would get mad at for saying something, like "let's wait til we have more information." I just don't say it, because I don't like arguing on the internet.

As much as I strongly disliked the movie Bridesmaids I very much appreciate Judd Apatow - a powerful man in the entertainment biz who people more or less listen to - speaking out against all the levels of NOT OK that are coming up.

I'd like to further note: "sexual misadventure and impropriety" is farting in bed.

Wow, when your apologist victim-blaming even has Judd Apatow (who has a nasty history of sexist abuse of women critical of his work) calling bullshit, it's time to stop digging that hole.

I believe this is pretty much the standard for journalists covering the royal family of ANY country.

Lionsgate's stock fell by 10% after the opening weekend for Catching Fire in North America was also (slightly) below predictions. I'm not going to speak well above my pay grade here, but it seems like some of the media commentary is reading way too much into far from unusual volatility. And you're quite right — if…

I don't think anyone in Brisbane got a vote in their city being locked down for the best part of a week and a half, so a lot of politicians could get together to tell Putin he sucks arse instead of sending him an e-mail like normal people.

Still, Lions Gate Entertainment's stock fell 5 percent this weekend.

They expected it to make $130-$150 million in the US so it do not do as well as they expected (some sexist idiots are trying to blame nude leak for it not doing so well as expected in the US), however outside the US it has done better than expected.

This probably comes as a shock to no one...

And the US State Department does? Oddly enough, I didn't notice too many people in sweats when the President and First Lady of the United States paid a state visit to the United Kingdom in 2011.

arent' they guests when they visit other countries? shouldn't they respect the way other countries/cultures dress? who are they to come to another country and start dictating how people dress?

Get over yourselves, parasites. People with actual jobs will dress as they deem appropriate for their work, not what a bunch of do-nothing's want them to wear to cover their stop here on their eternal vacation.

Not really. A scheduled event, sure. But let's say I'm an understaffed newsroom (hi, 2014) and I have to hit and run covering several things.

my response to this is fuck you princess and the hell over yourself.

I don't disagree with you but I think it's news because didn't we win a war against the british to get them to stop telling us what to do or something?
