her custom-designed Kay Jewelers ring, worth more than $21,000.

I remember seeing the video for “Cream” on VH1 as a kid and being *scandaliiiiiiiiiiized* but it is still my absolute favorite Prince song. And I can’t hear “Kiss” w/o picturing Julia Roberts in the tub with a Walkman.

GAWWWWWWWWD :( That is my most favorite of his songs too! It has everything - incredible lyrics, fast and fun beat, and that fucking intro that just makes me feel like life is amazing and I'm so lucky to be living at this moment. His songs make me feel that quite a lot

I’m on Team Kelly here. Obviously she doesn’t need any more money or anything, but to leave her in the dark like that is straight-up disrespectful. I’d be seeing red if I was in her position too.

I was pretty bummed out because I really like Charlize as an actress, but there seems to be a pattern emerging.

Except the Bob’s Burgers cast! They record most of the show together!

and IMO, if HE should be considering dropping out... so should Hillary.

seriously. strategically speaking, it could actually be a good move.

Exactly, I hate people acting like its some huge conspiracy that the party favors Clinton because she supports the down ticket candidates. Supporting down ticket candidates is a major part of the job of someone running for president!

I can see both sides of this issue. Most of my older family members all work in union professions. My mom taught in inner-city schools for 32 years and I watched her fight with her union (she was a rep) to keep classroom aides; janitors; general health/retirement benefits; budgets; and prep periods because she knew…

But I’ve also seen that these protections help protect deserving teachers where a school board has taken aim at anyone who isn’t on the “correct” side. Frankly, I’m always skeptical of any group that wants to reduce the tenure rights for those in education. There can be a balance reached, but if (and fingers crossed…

Eh, it’s deeper than that. Colorism is something that Black people have only recently started talking about in mixed company. Back then, it was kind of like a dirty family secret, but any Black woman knows the politics of color, whether she speaks about it publicly or not. I’m not sure that simple research would have…

Yellowface is yellowface even if it’s CGI.

At least go all the fucking way and just whitewash the entire setting. Move it to New York if you’re going to insist on ScarJo as the main character rather than trying to pass her off as Asian.

This is what you get for making anime characters look white. Don’t tell me that isn’t a thing. I’ve loved anime since grade school but to any other person (read: ignorant Americans) they look like white people who are just speaking Japanese.

Making this live action is a stupid move so yeah, I expect the people who are doing it to think of other stupid ideas and try to implement them.

“Between 40 and 50 percent of all African-American babies are killed before they’re born. A Hispanic child is three times more likely to be aborted than a white child.”

I also keep flip-flopping. A wedding seems super stressful and a waste of money, but other the hand it’s like your one trump card that forces everyone you know to come party with you. So maybe something small? If they’re going to come to a party, it’s going to be this one....and if they’re going to come party, you…

I believe that Stephen Spielberg did a wonderful job with The Color Purple. But I agree, RESEARCH and know what you’re about before you touch HISTORY.

And it would probably help to get the family of your subject on your side.
