not my tattoo, BUT:

Japanese-y, while not a word you should use to describe it, in her head probably does refer to specific styles of manicure popularized in Japan. I know KP got her nails done by a famous Japanese nail artist at one point and seems to like the style. So. There's that.

Actually, believing in prayer can do all kinds of harm when people refrain from taking actual action because they think that pleading with an invisible sky fairy will have the same effectiveness. Like crazy people who pray for their sick child instead of, you know, taking her to a doctor. Or people who pray for…

Israel is far from perfect and the IDF are engaged in war crimes. http://www.theguardian.com/world/2004/nov…

It's a huge symptom of white hyperliberal feminism that tends to happen a lot on this site. The whole "if you're not a professor or extremely knowledgeable you shouldn't talk about this at all", but the article's usually written by someone who has about as much credentials as the celebrities.

If I had read just the title and seen those photos, I would've assumed this was some returnofkings article about how pretty women shouldn't have ideas. It'd be one thing if none of them had any idea of what they were talking about, but most of them clearly have some grasp on it. The some thing rings elitist. Does Ms…

I agree with most of what you're saying but this is really a clusterf*ck of a situation. Hell, I am Palestinian - born and raised in Canada - and even I'm not all "rah-rah Gaza." I truly do believe that Israel has a right to defend itself but - and again, this is just MHO - their response has gone too far. I'm not …

I would also like to point out that just yesterday Jezebel ran an article entitled "Men Like Women Best When They Listen," which I really loved and thought it was a great example of why Jezebel can be so great. Telling people to STFU about a major issue in today's world right after publishing a piece like that…

Great point about the headers being all women on an article about STFU. I'm sure it wasn't intentional, but it is problematic, especially on a women's website.

But if you think one side is worse than the other then you're not on the fence are you? And I do think it's okay (necessary even) to be able to shift your position as new info comes to light.

What would be shocking to me is if Jezebel actually did a full article (an odd paragraph between 18 tweets does not good reporting make) reflecting on celebrity, modern media, and why their opinions become such lightning rods. Do they actually hold any sway or are they just easy targets for people to condescend…

CELEBRITIES! SHUT UP YOU CAN'T TALK ABOUT OR RAISE AWARENESS FOR THE IMPORTANT CONFLICT!! Now let the professionals at jezebel tell you more about how Beyoncé and Jay Z are getting a divorce!

I really disagree with the majority of this post. I mean, I agree that hashtag activism does not do much good in the world, but writing an open letter (a la Penelope Cruz) is not hashtag activism and takes much more time and thought than an Instagram post and those should not be grouped together.

you're not sure if they've donated money, encouraged others to donate, or protested? So...you're speaking about something you don't know all the facts about. maybe YOU should take your own advice. They have every right to voice their opinion. How much weight given to that opinion is up to the individual. Personally, I…

You're right - celebrities should not use their (often worldwide) fame to bring awareness to terrible situations that should be stopped. They're the worst. #BoycottCelebs

for years I have seen most American media and politicians being full on pro-Israel's right to exist with no questions, with very little support given explicitly to Palestinians' right to exist. I am glad to see people with larger voices in our society speaking out, even if it's just a tweet or a link. It's more than…

It's not event that people will get upset though. It's a fraught issue. No matter which side you're on, someone will disagree. It's the backtracking that I think is kind of ... non-committal? Like going from "#FreePalestine" to "but I just want peace u guise!!!" kind of takes the teeth out of your argument, yeah?…

Oh look, surprise surprise. Some unknown, self-absorbed blogger is telling others what to do. I've never seen so many power-hungry authoritarians who orgasm all over their stomachs every time they tell someone what to do until I started to peruse the blogosphere

This. If you want to comment, by all means, make your voice heard, but don't be surprised when people get upset by your opinion on a highly controversial and very emotionally fraught topic.

I think the last part is the most important. I have my own feelings on the issue, but I feel like, if you're a celeb who wants to throw your hat in the ring, you don't get to tiptoe back into the ring and decide you want to dust your hat off and go home. By "clarifying" or "retracting" their words, it makes them look…
