I don’t think the home items are from the Ivanka Trump brand; I believe they’re (Donald) Trump brand. Not sure it really matters; they’re probably all made outside of the USA and probably all knockoffs made tacky.

Can you correct “Murray” to “Murphy”? Thanks.

Because with Dolly, it’s talent first, schtick second. Madonna is schtick first, minimal talent second. When Madonna writes and performs a song half as great as Jolene or I Will Always Love You, or plays guitar like Dolly does, then we’ll talk.

I stood next to her at an airport once; her skin looks like that of a burn victim. But if she’s happy...

So those of us who aren’t white don’t have to donate? This sort of judgmental, divisive, self-righteous verbiage reminds me why I stopped reading Jezebel years ago. (I only came back once Gawker was shut down.)

Curious why it was deemed necessary to include “adopted” in the hed. Not sure her daughter being adopted has much bearing; her daughter being black, yes, as that’s the point of the story. I don’t go around describing my daughter as “my “adopted daughter”; if necessary when discussing race relations, I might say “my…

Is Giuliani scarier as secretary of state or as attorney general? And why do we even have to posit this question?

I got sick on a plane once, and unfortunately for everyone on the flight, not in the discreet bag they tuck into the seat pocket. One minute I was fine, the next I was hurling everything I’d consumed in the past 48 hours all over my seat, the floor, and myself. The poor guy next to me gets up and heads to the back…

Yes! I must have read the same article, because from the time my daughter was tiny I gently chided my friends and family who’d say to her things like, “Give Aunt So-and-So a kiss” or “Aren’t you going to hug me good-bye?” Sadly, it meant once she hit eight or so I didn’t get any hugs or kisses anymore either, but…

Apparently I was born with one gray hair on my head full of otherwise black hair. I’ve been graying/gray for decades now (started graying in earnest in college), but only on my head—not even my brows, let alone anywhere else. Beats being bald... except that I do have a bald spot too (and yes, I’m female). Sigh.

On top of everything else, he can’t even read convincingly from a teleprompter. His wooden* performance shows just how much he doesn’t believe he has anything to apologize for.

Don’t you mean “would of went”? What’s with the fancy “have” business?

Thank you—I’m in my 50s as well, and I still have issues. Last year was the first time I had an ob/gyn exam without writhing/whimpering/the doctor having to spend extra time waiting for me to climb down from the ceiling.

Ugh! My daughter was left on a dirt road in a poor village in China, so I’m pretty sure she didn’t have skin-to-skin immediately after, and she’s fine. Nor was she breast-fed, etc etc. I think a lot of this is just more ways to guilt new parents (because goodness knows there aren’t already enough).

Tourism--everything royal is a huge tourist draw. The U.S. has the Kardashians, the U.K. has the royals--and Katie Price. Let us never forget Katie Price.

I worked with him in his capacity as a marketing copywriter extraordinaire. He was a delight: a great raconteur, a shameless flirt, a courtly gentleman, a global traveler, and very generous with his knowledge and time. He was one of the few larger-than-life individuals I’ve been privileged to know.

You get all the stars for referencing Rocket Power!

They drove while nodding out with a four-year-old in the car and within feet of a school bus: They do deserve our disgust. Being a junky doesn’t excuse you, which is what you seem to be saying. Anyone who drives while impaired, whether by prescription drugs, alcohol, or street drugs, especially with a kid in the car,…

If this cable car’s a-rocking, don’t come a-knocking. Except that they’re continually rocking that high up (I took one up Mont Blanc during our honeymoon).

Apparently they only saw Oliver! and never read the book—Oliver doesn’t find a true sense of family with the orphans, nor does Fagin’s gang work to take down rich criminals. If anything this sounds like a gender-reverse of Leverage, which isn’t a bad thing, but—sheesh. Idiocracy, anyone?
