I thought the media had chosen the divine Laverne Cox to make their transgender poster child. Caitlyn still gets plenty of press due to the Kardashian effect but they don’t often ask her about anything besides herself and her family? Laverne’s the one they call when they want someone to talk about trans issues.

Can you explain?

This Amanda Seyfried getting hitched story is juicier than people realize. I was reading blind items about those two for like two years now and to see it all come to fruition made me realize blind items are real dammit.

I may be out of line here but honestly, your family and your spouse are two different types of relationships. A spouse is a relationship of choice, but family is not (well, not unless you decide to cut them off). My point is that Caitlyn didn’t have to marry Kris, especially given the fact that she’s said she was…

Kylie and Kendall can resent Kris for the lives they didn’t get to live because they were shoved into the public eye as children without the capacity to understand what that would mean or consent to it.

Totally agree. I mean, maybe Kris was less than thrilled b/c Caitlyn wasn’t honest with her about her identity from the get-go. I completely understand that it’s a difficult thing to come to terms with gender or sexual identity, but it’s also unfair to involve other people romantically when you know you have your own…

I’m not team Kris either, but resenting one person for not getting to live her life is a stupid excuse on Caitlyn’s part. Saying you resent society for being in general transphobic and not supporting of trans people would be one thing and would be valid, but just Kris Jenner? She could have divorced her years ago, she…

In previous interviews, Caitlyn said that she was taking hormones when she first met Kris and that she decided to stop that process in order to build a family with her. So, during that time, she stopped that train and remained Bruce until of late. If it meant that much to her then, she could have continued that…

I’m not team Kris or anything, but it would take a genuinely special person to truly support your spouse through a gender transition. To do so while also an international “brand” that necessitates your laundry being on television, even if that were a life you had chosen makes it more complicated. Add to the mix that…

I always thought that the reason people think she’s awful is because of some weird lingering resent over her role in breaking up Jen Aniston’s marriage while Brad seems to have escaped that level of disdain. I always found it odd how profoundly that scandal resonated with the public consciousness especially since it’s…

I appreciate your perspective, so thank you. I firmly believe that, if there is a partner, medical decisions, where appropriate, should be discussed.

Love your comment. I’m not surprised by what this story raises, but I’m also distanced from it via age and such that my only knowledge of Bandstand comes from references to it/its concept in stuff like the Grease film adaptation. I’m more aware of the racial ramifications of the period since my black parents were kids…

I feel all sorts of sad for these closeted kids, of course, but I also love this story. It’s important to be able to look back on heteronormative institutions and see the queer reality beneath the surface. It helps to destroy the myth that things were “better” and “normal” [again, read: heteronormative] in the “good…

Here is a link to general info about botox for depression that was in Time a while back.

Born into a different family, young Noah’s talents would have ensured her career as a clerk at the local Kwik Stop.

Hot off the presses! The girl two cubicles over just had Botox and is telling people she’s just drinking more water and getting more sleep.

Liam Hemsworth has always struck me as that nice-but-dull guy from work - who everyone likes because he’s reliable and kind - who you presume spends his weekends working on his lawn and helping his kids with their craft projects.

He is at least 10 years younger than I thought. Douchiness does indeed lend a patina of age to a person.

Hmm. Is there a third category? I don’t want to be either. I want to be left alone.

Tangent time - did you see that a 5-year old qualified for the scripps national spelling bee this year? She is an adorable tiny spelling prodigy.
