Thank you for making an O Brother Where Art Thou reference; it totally made my otherwise really sucky night.

He didn't get every other ethnicity's name right - the article's subject, a white Scottish girl, is Shirley Manson and not Mason. Doug just sucks at names apparently.

Confused by Lena's tweet. All I'm gathering is that she takes a lot of showers while listening to music.

I suspect it's karma actually.

This just makes me smile.

Nothing wrong with some shameless Ke$sha love. I myself am absolutely loving that single and plan on playing it repeatedly to get me through the morning.

I maintain there is nothing wrong with the word "ginormous."

Just found out Taylor Swift never tires of faking shock!! IS THIS ACTUALLY HAPPENING? I seriously just keeled over in exasperation.

Nah, never really appealed to me. But I also haven't seen pretty much every great film trilogy of the last 40 or so years (Godfather, Star Wars, etc).

The Obama campaign has managed to wheedle much more money out of me than I had ever planned on giving. I was going to stick to my standard monthly contribution, and I think I've more than doubled it with all of the single donations in the past month between the RNC making me scared, the DNC being inspiring, and…

I can honestly say I've never seen Dominic Monaghan in a single show or movie, but Jezebel's coverage of him has me wanting to. He seems like a refreshing soul.

Want to know where my ex developed his bulimia? In the Navy. All of a sudden after bootcamp, he came home on weekends and would rarely keep a meal down. It was a very odd and scary thing to try to cope with when it came on without warning.

Where are her parents? Not that she's a child, but I'm 29 and my parents would be repeatedly slapping me upside the head if my license got suspended. Does she have the typical show-kid parent issues, a la Lohan?

Agreed! And apparently Mr. Weiner has never heard of wigs.

I CAN NOT WAIT for August: Osage County. Even though I know all the movies stars in the whole wide world are never going to measure up to that original cast. Meryl will do a fine job as always but Julia Roberts is no Amy Morton. No, ma'am.

The blind columns have said she was always on the crazy bus, just much less publicly. But it makes me sad too; I thought she was hilarious.

I believe WBEZ's (local NPR affiliate) coverage of the issue has been phenomenal. There are more than a few articles on the front page. http://www.wbez.org/

Can we talk about how fabulous Rihanna's sunglasses are?

I generally stick to Jezebel. It may mean I only hear like-minded opinions, but that's better for my blood pressure anyhow.

Heh. I posted it to my FB wall, and one of my argumentative asshat friends commented "I mean so she didnt get killed by some nut case, WTF is so 'inspiring' about that." I'm less deeply concerned and more deeply enraged.
