Between this utter failure to conduct a one-minute Google search for Kwan’s credentials and qualifications, and the willful misinterpretation of Ben Affleck’s comments (which seemingly no one in the comments is agreeing with,) it feels especially bad, even by ‘Dirt Bag’ standards.

Yeah, I read it as: “I wasn’t happy in my marriage, I felt trapped/like I couldn’t make the decision to leave, and I drank a bunch.” I can see how it would be interpreted as “I felt trapped by Jennifer Garner”, but I think most reasonable people don’t think that she’s the trapping type.

I recognize your username; you said many of the same things on a Jez post about Britney Spears yesterday. You’re investing a lot of time and energy criticizing Spears, comparing her to another woman who you consider more worthy of respect, and now even calling her names. Is that really how you want to spend your time…

Michelle Kwan has a degree in International Relations from the University of Denver, a Masters of Law & Diplomacy from Tufts, and worked in the State department for eight years.  She’s absolutely qualified to be an ambassador (and her support of Biden certainly doesn’t hurt).  

Ma’am, you mean Michelle who has a master’s in foreign policy Kwan right? Or Michelle state department advisor Kwan?, or how out Michelle who has served under 2 presidents Kwan? Because even one freaking click to her insta would have informed you that she's qualified. She's spent the last 15 years devoted to politics. 

Considering this is such an outlier backthen,

PR person here: “I was unhappy, and I didn’t know why. I had great kids and a great wife and a great career. It was inconceivable to me that I was unhappy given all I had. I fell into a crisis of self-doubt, self-destruction and alcohol. I’ve learned since that THIS is what depression and addiction feel like. Since…

To me it isn’t as much that he’s blaming his marriage and kids as he is saying he was depressed and unhappy and using alcohol as a way to avoid making difficult decisions regarding his marriage. He was depressed and self-medicated with alcohol which is not terribly uncommon. I know it’s popular to dog on Affleck but I…

And at least when she was in the conservatorship she wasnt running around flashing her bare bum,

I mean, there are lots of people will poor impulse control who aren’t in conservatorships. Someone doesn’t have to rise to your standard of “balanced” in order to deserve basic freedom.

“Ma’am, I’m a Catholic slut” is basically the greatest thing I’ve read today and I spent the day reading about illegal abortion and corruption in 1920s San Francisco.

I’ve been listening to the podcast over the last few weeks and I agree, it’s definitely worth a listen. The most poignant part for me was how they dealt with the fallout from HUAC branding her a communist. Desi and his family lost everything when they had to flee Cuba, and he was going to make damn sure it didn’t…

If anyone is interested in hearing more about DesiLu and Lucy’s life, there is a great podcast called The Plot Thickens. They use a lot of Lucy’s own interviews and excerpts from Desi’s autobiography to tell her (and Desi’s) story from birth to death. It’s an incredible listen.

Here’s the thing. I don’t think Chris Pratt meant to intentionally imply that his daughter is somehow better than his son because of her relative health status. But the fact that he didn’t think at all about how that might impact his son or his son’s mom? And his kids apparently come after a baseball card? Again,…

What the actual hell is the tone of this article???

The obvious desire to insinuate that Alec Baldwin is criminally responsible for purposefully shooting someone is gross.

Why call out that there was no definitive proof the gun was not a prop gun, but not any of the other facts of the story that came from the same or similar sources (i.e. the investigators)? Seems like you’re trying to imply something.

What a cunt move, Shannon. “Alec Baldwin discharged a firearm on the set of his latest film” is followed soon thereafter with, “The firearm, which is being referred to as a “prop gun” in the media without any definitive proof that it was not a real firearm...”

I know the Kardashians aren’t popular here, but Khloe’s explanation for that decision is very reasonable.

Pfffft! I love when someone with a keyboard can just trivialize an entire actor’s career and act like it’s obvious journalism with questions like “Is Ben Affleck a good actor?” How about I prove you wrong without mentioning Armageddon.
