Are you sure about that? I hadn't heard that, and I'm shocked. I've heard of big stars taking scale to work on low-budget pictures just to help make them happen, but that wouldn't seem to be the situation here. I'm sure DiCaprio and Scorsese made big bucks for this film, so it just doesn't make any sense that Jonah…

Don't know if it's required by SAG - unfortunately, I never got to play such a role. But can you imagine Jessica Chastain flying coach? These women were starring in a major motion picture, and they deserved the perks that everyone else gets in such a situation. If it were anyone else, they wouldn't even have to ask…

Also, the idea that anyone's weight loss would somehow be motivated by the ridiculous proportions of airline seating.

Related: for my birthday party my roommate took one of the sexy-man bags, unfolded it and made it into a poster, and made a voice bubble coming out of sexy man's mouth saying: "dear [ladycoffeesoul], I love you, please marry me." Then we all proceeded to get rip roaringly drunk and take pictures of ourselves fondling…

I vaguely remember Abercrombie showcasing a lot of abs, had no idea they placed so much emphasis on top peen.

(also, I stared at this pic for way too long just in case it was a secret gif and that jeanbelt he's got slung around his thighs eventually pops off to reveal his full Ken doll monty. no dice.)

I grew up in a small town in the Midwest. And in that small town there was a small shopping mall. And in that small mall there was an Abercrombie. When I was around 12 this Abercrombie had somehow managed to find the one person in the entire area who wasnt just non-morbidly obese, but who miraculously also had some…

Good points, but regardless, they hired someone to do a job and then asked her to promote the movie without compensation and offered transportation which she could not physically accept. She would, at the least, have needed to buy a second seat. If they had hired someone in a wheel chair or a 7 foot basketball player…

Those old-school A&F ads were something special, all right. My college BFF (a very, very gay man) had his dorm room wallpapered in them. Much to the chagrin of his pathologically shy, fresh off the boat Chinese roommate.

Everyone thinks I was kidding, but like I said I'M NOT KIDDING

Are you talking in the third person? Like, "Who has two thumbs and doesn't really get this whole situation is fucked up? This woman!"

I mean I feel like most people can agree that flying coach isn't fun for anyone, but flying in general can be very embarrassing and stressful for people categorized as overweight. So I can see why the studio flying the star of their film, who happens to be a big girl and at the time a more unknown actress would be…

Too be fair, I very much doubt Gabby Sidibe could fit in a coach seat and it would be pretty humiliating to try. It's also true that if they were flying the cast to France, it would be the industry standard to buy the star a first class seat.

"Mo'Nique's "attitude"

No, she's right. Stars and execs routinely fly first. Why should she be treated any differently? That's bullshit. And $50,000 is a pittance for a movie. Yeah, I know, that's what she signed up for. But it's also what the producers knew they could get away with, because roles like that don't come along every day…

How does this make her an idiot?

(Race is likely a factor in this, too.)

But... but... we don't know if it was 'rape' or 'rape-rape'! It could have even been 'rape-rape-rape'! O_O!

Hollywood's punishment of Mo'Nique's "attitude" problems is emblematic of the way Black and brown women and girls are punished for non-conformity to standards for white femininity (complacent, quiet, obedient, eager to please) throughout all our systems, beginning with school discipline. It is a punishment, y'all, and…

Meanwhile, noted child rapist Roman Polanski gets backup from pretty much everyone in Hollywood despite being a child rapist.

I'm not kidding, more people need to speak out about the injustices of flying coach.
