Zosia Mamet. When I read these jokey articles about "bitchy resting face" being a thing, I think of her. I like her off-kilter style, though.

OMG. That is crazy. But it explains those two recent Bridezillas from Canada that went viral (the one who trash talked a gift basket and the other who called a friend out for skimping out on her cash gift of $100). Thank goodness my friends aren't Canadian—I couldn't afford $300 for every wedding!

It's really just an unfortunate coincidence.

I get it, and I agree. While I don't think it's tacky to give off registry, per se, I have known people who have bought off registry specifically because they said they didn't personally like what the bride and groom had registered for. It's one thing to buy off registry because you have something more personal in…

Generation Y. I worry for them. :/

I keep hearing about that kind of behavior (mostly the "pay for your plate" thing), but have never experienced it first, or even second hand. Do people really do/think/expect that? Or is it just a few bad eggs who have gone viral on the interwebs?

Well, complaining about gifts is a totally different topic. That's crappy and unacceptable. However, I am not sure the culture of complaining about gifts or this notion of "playing for your plate" really exists in a widespread way beyond Bridezillas. Though it would seem that reality television may be giving people…

I think either is fine. I do know that my mom, and an older generation in general, scoffs that things like that. She wants to give a physical gift for a wedding. Any other ideas get the side eye.

That's the bachelorette!

I agree that people should live within their means. However, I read a lot of comments on Jez about how it's ridiculous and wrong to spend a lot of money on a wedding, period (you know, lentils and all that). So much judginess in that area. If you can afford it and that's your thing, there shouldn't be anything wrong…

Correction: spending more than you can afford is a poor decision. Spending a lot if it's within their means? Just their cup of tea.

Well said. I'd add that the other tacky thing is judging people for doing things differently from oneself. Or jumping on your high horse about what's "appropriate" and giving people something they've no need or desire for.

Of course you accept whatever it is graciously. But, I think part of the point is, why not get people what they need? Isn't that part of being a good gift giver (if you choose to get a gift at all)?

You are assuming people are asking for money to pay for the wedding. What about registries that help them save for a home or go towards their dream honeymoon? Besides, giving someone a gift is about doing something nice for the giftee. It's not about you.

What exactly should he have done? The song is done, it was already rolled out to stations with a huge PR push, etc. He was made aware of the foundation after its release, and made a statement about it—the fact is, not many people are aware of "Take Back the Night" as a movement and foundation (which is a separate…

My coworker who had a natural birth was in labor for something like 20 hours (as was I...I got an epi at the 15 hour mark, as was my plan). Anyway, natural birth friend was so traumatized by the birth she literally couldn't talk about it for months afterwards. Fast forward 2 years, and I ask her if she would go…

I am into this casting, I really like her. Affleck as Nick, Fincher directing. And I'm guessing NPH will play Desi? This is shaping up nicely...

I think this role is actually perfect for him...failed golden boy. He's been there.

Soooo...Rosamund Pike as Amy? (Per the Hollywood Reporter yesterday.)

I really don't care if she decides to stand by him in their relationship. That's personal, and it's up to her. I do, however, wonder why she continues to support him for public office. Weiner has incredibly poor judgment, is a compulsive liar, lacks impulse control and has delusions of grandeur (comparing himself to…
