No, that’s called managing expectations.

I thought he peaked when he landed on SNL but he keeps falling upwards and shattering the ceiling. He’s defying the law of social physics!

Music class sucked.

I don’t necessarily disagree with some of your points, but, and I admit my age will show here, but, when I was growing up part of parenting was “go outside and play” which we did until it got dark, with a short break for supper.

I liked P.E. I had it everyday in elementary and middle school, and took two years of it in high school. (General P.E. freshman year, and then weight lifting my sophomore year.) I can’t run long distances for shit (My best mile is around 11 or 12 minutes), but I’m a better sprinter/short distance runn. I wasn’t the…

HELP PEOPLE CARRY STROLLERS, EVERYONE! THIS CANNOT BE STRESSED ENOUGH!

Vergara is in like 30% of the commercials I watch, of course she would have so much income.

It bothered the hell out of me the first time around to. I don’t know if she’s right or wrong, but pointing to a single data point as ‘evidence’ is incredibly irresponsible. Couple that with the fact that Hispanics proportionally are way underrepresented in Hollywood (even compared to black actors) and it just seems…

Do you have any data to relevant to the entertainment industry to show that she’s wrong? Because the only actual data you’ve provided shows that she’s right. Latina women are paid less on average than black women.

Yeah, I’m willing to accept that Gina was simply wrong but whenever someone puts up a chart or statistics, I keep expecting information from SAG breaking down the compensation of all working actors - not “Sofia Vergara.” That’s like saying America stopped being racist in 2008 because “Barack Obama.”

Reading through this, I kept seeing statements that the overall averages are not applicable to Hollywood (which, duh, any specific industry will vary from the overall average in some way) and that Rodriguez was wrong about the pay gap but nothing proving she was wrong. The link saying it’s “simply untrue” goes to some…

Plus a sample size of 10 isn’t large enough to be statistically significant.  Can’t generalize from exceptions.

Okay, to be honest, the evidence used in this reporting continues to confuse the hell out of me. The twitter link this article provides to argue that Rodriguez is wrong about her claims about Latin actresses does not actually prove anything of the sort. It actually just theorizes that her claim is based on a…

. In one popular Tweet, film critic Rebecca Theodore-Vachon pointed out that Modern Family’s Sofia Vegara has been the highest-paid TV actor in Hollywood for three years in a row, regardless of gender, and the highest paid actress for seven years in a row. Comparatively, Kerry Washington was the only black woman to…

Also the 2002 Almodóvar movie Hable con ella/Talk to Her. It was horrific as a movie plotline.

Presumably the constant headlines about her being vegetative or comatose, when apparently she is neither.

Thank you for sharing this. It is nice to know a bit about her as a person, rather than a victim. I expect this was the family’s motivation for making the statement.

Likely they want to clarify her condition. I suppose it’s similar, though not entirely comparable to say if your child has autism, and someone said they had down syndrome. You would likely correct them.

Congrats on this Christian Bales kid for making valedictorian. he really showed some American Hustle there with his grades.

Damn, I just saw the guy in Vice and he looked nothing like this. Christian’s ability to transform his appearance is incredible
