@SqueakyGasket: I first learned that from The Office.

@MakeFetch: You made me remember this: [www.mtv.com]

Oh for god's sake, the reason the mainstream media was all over Eminem was because every white 14-year-old in the country was buying his records at that time, not because he's white. Of course, you could argue that the REASON he was so immensely popular with white teenagers was because of his race, so in that way I…

This sounds like a Homicide: Life on the Street comedic b-plot.

@My cat hates Tom Cruise: Can we talk about a Nordstrom Rack phenomenon that I hate? Dudes in the ladies shoes section! It's already cramped enough in there as it is, just go wait for your wife/girlfriend by the front of the store or something. It totally kills my bargain-hunting boner to have to edge around some…

@CherryBerry: For $5000? I would also expect them to hold you tight, baby, all through the night.

I am seriously getting a stress stomach ache thinking about how there's no way I can go on this cruise. It's like, that thing you wanted more than anything when you were 13, but you knew could never happen in a million years? IT'S HAPPENING.

@audioblitz13: Miiiiiike...! I think he's retired now, though, after being in a car crash? I love the other 3 guys, but it won't be the same without that low note. Or the sexy-talking part in End of the Road.

@NiftyThrifty: Cat on right: "I hate Mondays."

@TopLevelExecutive: Ugh, I miss her old nose.

@feelingHELLAstabby: So. Cute.

@Lorcan McGrane: Now Tayne I can get into!

@chancentrate: 1) Cape Verde is not "largely Portuguese". 2) Regardless of what her exact racial heritage is, between her looks and her immersion in hip hop culture, she reads as black in the U.S.

Seriously, this porn star stuff is upsetting me. Are we calling Mary-Louise Parker a porn star now because she posed topless in Esquire? Diablo Cody used to strip, is she a porn star? No, because there is a huge freaking difference between modeling, stripping, and starring in porn. One does not suggest the other.…
