"they exist literally just for the tourist " Um no. Most British people are very attached to monarchy. So the British royal family, whether you like it or not, is still in place because people want them there. That tourist argument always makes me laugh btw: are there really tourists who care that much about the royal…

Absolutely. Can't believe we're praising David fucking Cameron for this. I mean, it's a good thing obviously but done for the wrong reasons, and it leaves a bitter taste in my mouth.

I actually find women much more interesting than men in general (I may be biased since I tend to be more attracted to women rather than men) so a lot of the comments left me incredulous. Not denying there aren't vapid shallow women but we run the gamut: we're smart, we're stupid, we're shallow, we're interesting,…

Total agreement. Maybe it's because I'm not married myself and no one in my circle of friends is either (late twenties) but I can't remember a single conversation/chit chat I had with a woman that was about kids or marriage (nothing wrong with those topics per se by the way). You know what we usually talk about? TV…

Especially since she "was on her knees" as her daughter put it. Jesus, Mellie, I love you and you're the only reason I'm watching this melodramatic soap, but come on, that was so stupid.

Well you are missing out let me tell you. Foie gras is delicious. More for me I guess.

Agreed. I've seen some interviews with her and like you said, she was nice, laid back and funny. I've never been on her website and don't care much about her cook books and all of that so maybe that influences my opinion of her. But honestly, I wish we saved our outrage for actual horrible persons. Gwyneth Paltrow…

Oh definitely! I completely agree that Hollywood is dumb to miss out on that much talent and sexiness. But the assumption that foreign actors automatically want a big American career (which isn't even guaranteed because they'd probably be typecast anyway) always annoys me.

I agree. That may be a pessimistic way to look at things but in my experience people just don't want to hear about your mental condition, either because they think they'll somehow "catch it" or because they don't want to think about unpleasant things, which, I guess I can understand on some level. If you're well and…

I don't know about Diego Luna but Gael Garcia Bernal has a career in Spanish-speaking movies. Maybe he doesn't want a career in America? As hard as it may be for Americans to hear this, not every foreign actor wants to make it in Hollywood.

These morons have a superiority complex, that's why they refuse to stop believing that crap. Because they can tell themselves that *they* alone know the truth and that the lack of evidence is the proof that someone is hiding something. They know the truth, while the rest of us are sheep. But if they actually admit…

Right? I wasn't allowed to leave the table before finishing my plate. That's how I was raised and I thank my parents everyday for that education when I encounter people who have no curiosity about food and just stick to a couple of dishes.

I rolled my eyes so hard at "nurturing the human spirit", I gave myself a headache.

Actually there are two movies about Saint Laurent this year. The one the article talks about with lead actor Pierre Niney. That movie has been "approved" by Bergé indeed. But there's another one coming soon in France and this one hasn't been approved by Bergé. So these two movies will, hopefully, be complementary in…

Sure, yeah. And all his girlfriends always happen to be much much younger than him. But I guess it's just a coincidence, right? It couldn't possibly be about the fact that he doesn't want a woman who has a brain, in others words an equal (not that I find Clooney that smart to begin with). Look at DiCaprio always…

I'm not ashamed to say that I'm obsessed with stupid dance movies. And I've seen every single one of them: all the Step Up franchise + Take the Lead + Save the Last Dance, etc. Yeah all of them. They're stupid and predictable but I love watching people do amazing dance moves.

Same. I also find this study, while unsurprising, quite sad.

Or, you know, don't take selfies AT ALL? Like, seriously, how fucking narcissistic is that?

I keep hoping that the plane was indeed hijacked because that would mean that, maybe, the passengers are alive (but: how would they have been fed?). Even though it's much more likely they're all dead. How horrible for the families to be in this situation.

Indeed. To answer Ellen's question" Bear, where does it come from?" Stupidity. That's the only answer. There are literally dozens of names to choose from and she went with Bear. Good luck to that poor child, god knows he'll need it, being named Bear Rocknroll.
