When Katie Holmes left Tom Cruise, there were reports that she had a secret cell phone that she used to plan her exit. At the time, part of me thought, really? Now I just think she was smart as hell to have it. How sad. Glad she escaped with her daughter.

I think the saddest part is how the "church" brainwashed their kids against Nicole. That's just downright evil.

My husband: "I really can't decide which half of that couple I'm more jealous of."

I was at a play once and I was waiting in line for a drink when Paul Newman came up next to me. I was 22, he was maybe 80? Still a fox. I usually play it cool but I couldn't let this moment go.

Yes. Forever. (Is it weird to miss a person you never knew?)

Yessss. I once met a guy who looked like Heath Ledger and was really nice, funny and smart. I am in a long term relationship and I can't say I didn't think about it...hard.

WELL played

Duh.

But you're *not* a somewhat neutral observer. You're a very biased observer. You've even said that you have no idea why they've chosen to do this.

"...anyway, i ask my nephews how they would feel if their daughters did to them what they're doing to their mother and for whatever reason they can't bring themselves to…

I think you are demonstrating a certain level of obtuseness here because you love your sister and either she has treated you differently than se has treated her children or you have forgotten because it isn't as immediate as the pain she feels for being cut out of her kids' lives. You say there was no abuse, but…

I have some experience dealing with someone (not a parent) who is so willfully disconnected from reality that they just don't understaaaaaand why you're upseetttttt what did they do wronnnnng can't we talk about it? And fine, you summon your backbone and your patience and you explain it clearly and simply. And your…

I think sometimes abusive parents have a tendency to believe the lies they've told themselves about how wonderful their children's childhoods were. Particularly if their children turned out to be decent adults.

My mom recently discovered emojis and for awhile was randomly adding pizza slices to texts. When I asked her why, she said it was because I love pizza, so it seemed appropriate to text me little pizza slices with every sentence.

whats this what is happening

These are men who consider themselves against sexual assault, and are shocked to find themselves accused of it.

YES. She is clearly enjoying herself, and seems in control. I never thought I would be this supportive of her, but rock on, Kim.

Yeah - she is radiating happiness in these photos. She's standing their naked, and not even giving half a shit about seducing us. And it works.

Her joyfulness is pretty wonderful, isn't it? Weirdly, it's not the nakedness that make the pictures worth looking at—what makes them so compelling is the fact that she's clearly having enormous, mischievous fun. It's oddly charming.

I think she look really hot. She looks happy. And the shaming about her posing nude because *gasp*!!! she is a mother, makes me sad. She looks good. And oily.
