We’re all Jewish! L’chaim!

Seriously! I don’t blame the kids for missing their mom, but her having a job is not gonna permanently damage them. Her not doing anything but sit and stare at them while she slowly went bankrupt probably would, though. It’s good for kids to learn that they aren’t the entire world.

And her long-time assistant, Felicia Culotta, says that just before Spears takes the stage, “her sons get sad” and say, “No, please don’t make her be Britney Spears right now.”

My father was a helicopter pilot in the Army. It was the mid/late 80s so he’d leave for 4 months at a time to go to Honduras and Ecuador. When he’d be home for a few months, I’d greet him in the driveway with a beer so he couldn’t be called away to fly again. I was in elementary school.

My parents worked at home and I spent my entire childhood dreaming of the day I could get away from them.

Yeah, it’s kinda sad but kids almost always want more Mom time. Unfortunately, mom has a job. That happens every day to millions of kids and most of them turn out okay. It’s not exactly “sad memoir" material.

...is this really that weird/depressing to the parents out there?

Word. I’ve liked nearly everything Ewan has been a part of, so I’ll be watching this movie hoping his directorial debut is a success.

The original is by Tears for Fears.

I think McGregor can do a good job here (excluding the overused trailer song, that's not on him). He seems like the type whose able to marshal everyone around him & get the best out of them. He's been around enough great directors (Not you George, you stand over there. Alone.) to understand and respect the craft.

Sleeping over and Grandma’s house and watching America’s Most Wanted used to be MY JAM. I miss that show

Completely unnecessary post: I know Gilbert Gottfried in real life. I used to work with his wife, who I had a crush on. My heart was broken in 1996 when she told me via AOL chat she was secretly “Dating the parrot from ‘Aladdin’ “

Agreed. No non-apology BS, just “I fucked up and I’m sorry.”

Yeah, that was classy as shit. And she didn’t do some bullshit “exhaustion” excuse. She probably has a flying phobia. I have two close friends who are hugely afraid of flying. One of them has to drug herself to get through it and the other one just refuses.

Yeah, it seemed really sincere and mature. Kind of refreshing, as far as celebrity apologies go and all.

Selma Blair’s apology is lovely. I think you have a fourth point for your list.

your Kardashain is perfect

James Blunt is pretty much the master of the retort.

My god that is brilliant

I say keep on roasting him. I'm enjoying this.
