I’m not giving her a pass. I’m not giving anyone a pass. People are blind where love/their personal lives are concerned. She has a lot of positive qualities and stances ... this is not one of them. It’s not right, but I can certainly understand how she might arrive there.

Eh. Gotta be in the marriage to understand the marriage. I’ve definitely seen and been involved with a lot of things I had a hard line about until the situation went from theoretical to actual.

JFC. In what other context do we ask women about their husband’s infidelities? Or expect them to have a logical, reasoned response?

I think it might be a nod to the lede photo of the actual article. (When it showed up on my Twitter feed, the woman in the bikini was the image used, although several other interview subjects are also pictured.) The other does show the subject’s face, but I assume it’s intellectual property of HuffPo.

I will admit that I have not been looking at photos in DirtBags for a long time. What ... happened.... to the Biebster?

Sure. But he’s old for a new Hollywood leading man, he’s kind of wooden, he’s kind of an alcoholic, he’s kind of ... honest in interviews. He’s got a lot of qualities which are fine by themselves, and you can point to someone who made it anyway for each. It’s just the combo of all of the above mean that the right…

Because alcoholism makes him a little unreliable at work?

I read the first few lines of Depp’s press release as, “Depp is graffitied ...” glanced up at his knuckles, and giggled harder than I should.

One of the siblings works as a book distributor. Arguing with Amazon used to be their job.

That particular sibling is a pain in the @ss, so they gave Amazon hell, I’m sure. But it sounds like a really horrible arrangement.

Amazon tells the publisher what they will pay, regardless of whether it is actually a higher amount than the publisher is charging. They can force the publishers to sell at a loss, because not being sold on amazon is the kiss of death.

This ends in someone shouting, “I OBJECT” during someone else’s vows.

Will stay tuned for the Lifetime Movie version.

Sure, but does purchasing credits make it autobiographical? Or just, “Oh, I can relate to this song. Here is some money so that I can now put my name on it.”

My first thought was to check the song credits (and then her previous song credits). I had the impression she didn’t necessarily write her own?

I think you meant future, but since “feature” is apparently how we talk about it now ... maybe autocorrect is PSYCHIC?

That sounds a lot more like the music world I know and live in.

I can’t believe they had that conversation. I turned down a much less prestigious opportunity a decade ago and the rejected mentor Still won’t make eye contact at professional events.

Music programs are insanely competitive. If he didn’t want to go, there were 300 other people who did, and the mentors offering the scholarship don’t want anyone with a whiff of uncertainty.

I’m more surprised that he agreed to teach the guy several years later, privately. Turning down scholarships of that size and…

I am an enthusiastic fan of Parking Wars, because I have worked enough retail that I can relate on a number of levels.

I recently got passed over for a gig I really wanted, in favor of an acquaintance. I thought I had my feelings about it under control, had a drink or two, and ran my mouth to a mutual friend. Naturally, that person told the gig person and I needed to do the apology tour.
