Sorry, I was referencing the Gawker piece as being thoughtful: "Queen Latifah's Open Closet." Whether or not it applies in Latifah's case, the idea of the "open closet" is definitely something that's going to be increasingly relevant as American culture becomes increasingly comfortable with gay-identified people in…

I thought that was a pretty thoughtful piece, actually. They didn't end it with pushing her to come out. They didn't mock her for trying to keep her private life out of things. She has managed to walk a fine line of maintaining her own privacy while consistently supporting the gay community, and that article gave her…

It's really a phenomenal movie.

The Her parody was spot on. That movie was compelling, but god, Joaquin Phoenix's character was so narcissistic.

Shit, never mind, I found it. http://jezebel.com/5593741/carol-…

No! Insane. Any links to the article where it went down?

There is no way she's the same as the commenter MizJenkins. Very different perspectives and attitudes. But then—what does the #remembermizjenkins thing mean? Did they have a blow-up fight or something? So curious now.

Dude has been arrested four times, and his whole style is arrogant assholery in the face of convention. If he were a "please" and "thank you" kind of guy, he'd be accused of inauthenticity. What she's saying is that her image is nearly identical to Wayne's, but people still expect her to be a sweet little miss in…

Maybe they're worried that something too smutty wouldn't get its female audience in theaters? I'm imagining executives around a table talking about how you can get a pack of giggling girlfriends to see a sexy movie in the theaters, a la Magic Mike, but you can't get those same women to see a softcore porno together.

Man, the "phlegmy taste" one is going to stick with me the next time I go for my Dannon. Yikes.

Really, the only thing that's a "lie" is the mother's education level. (The divorce and trailer park thing are both nitpicky.) If she's saying "sixth grade education" for drama, it's pretty reprehensible—but there's a strong possibility that the error is in the original telling or the memory.

I'm echoing the other commenters' questions—what part makes you think she wasn't a good parent? Her being born in poverty or her going to law school to pull her family out of poverty?

This needs to get out of the grays.

Right? Likewise, the 9th versus 6th grade education "lie"—that difference could easily be in the telling, the remembering, or the reporting.

Loved Meryl's sexy oatmeal and traffic reader in labor, but daaaaamn her whiny teenager wasn't convincing. Maybe I spend far too much time around 13-year-olds.

When they saw how small the changes were, they should have taken the piece into a difference direction: "Look at how their changes are relatively reasonable and not damaging—the industry has made a lot of progress" would have been a far more suiting spin, if they absolutely had to run these pics

I wholeheartedly agree that magazines photoshop stars radically to perpetuate false images of femininity. But this isn't the best case to illustrate that. ("It doesn't matter where you are—it matters where Vogue wants you to be"—are we really saying that the most damaging aspects of Vogue's photoshoppery is that they…

Agreed: love that she knew what she wanted, wish she'd wanted something that looked as amazing on her as other dresses she's chosen in the past. (That Roberto Cavalli from last year? The Armani from a couple years ago? Way more glam.)

That dress on Hayden really wasn't my favorite. Love that the girl knows what she wants, but I feel like she's looked a million times more fabulous in Cavalli and Armani.
