This actually happened to a friend of mine. Her boyfriend got her on a reality show by pretending it was about something else, and it turned out to be a "marry me now or never" kind of thing. She said yes, they had a TV wedding, and now, two kids later, they've been happily married for 12 years. She said it never…

He's a cleric and he issued a fatwa, which, as you likely know, is a legal pronouncement in Islam, issued by a religious law specialist on a specific issue. This may not be your favorite part of Islam, or a part you agree with, or even a part that is mainstream, but it is definitely religious in nature.

Oy. For a bunch of people who go on and on about how everyone's culture is valid and we must respect the headscarf and home births are the best, etc., etc. you don't seem to know that in much of the world, baby scent is perfectly ordinary and, in fact, a traditional baby gift. Walk into any drugstore in France or…

Listen: he's a really good guy. He's thoughtful and nuanced and smart, and he works well with and enjoys strong women. Give him the props and respect he deserves.

All these "don't talk to anyone ever" responses are making me kind of sad. Of course you don't want to be a creepy come-on artist (whether you're a man or a woman), but it's nice to make human contact with strangers sometimes. It's nice to be friendly and open, and it's nice to flirt on occasion. It's sad to live…

When I was single, I hit on men all the time. You're right - it isn't easy - and I definitely got rejected a lot, but I have a thick skin, so I was ok with that. I think that genuine interest in the person you're hitting on makes the difference between creepy and non-creepy. Asking good questions, making…

I wish I was in on this, but I just don't get her. I find her performances to be shallow and one-note. I thought she was a caricature in Bridesmaids.

Ha! That's exactly what I said as I was reading this. Transgender, shmansgender - what about the vegan thing????

Ha! My favorite are the Americans who go to England for a semester and then pretend that they don't know what American English words mean anymore. Like when you say "let's take the elevator," they look puzzled and then say "oh! You mean the lift!"

1. Brooke Shields is really smart. I went to Princeton with her, and she more than kept up.

No sweat - I totally understand. I come from a family of doctors. Some will treat the family for some stuff and not other stuff, some won't treat at all. It's pretty common to treat family for derm and cosmetic stuff, though.

Jeez. Just let her be happy.

Off topic, but I don't care. I love Henrik Lundqvist in a deeply dirty way.

You're allowed, some just won't. It's more of a guideline than a rule.

You are a good man.

I had a c-section. It came with a nice side of Percocet. Do the future mother of your children a favor and let her have one too.

Yeah, but what do you guys know about early 20th century England?

Also, a lot of her recipes are surprisingly good.

It's not only normal, it's pretty dependably standard. Awards shows tend to function like a cross between awards shows and variety shows, so there are always musical numbers.

She looks like that Wilson sister that's not Carnie in the "after."
