I went to an NKOTB concert and made a sign that said I *heart* you Joey in GLOW IN THE DARK puffy paint. My 10 year old self thought they he would actually see it and be my boyfriend. *Sigh* he is still cute.

@alicetheowl: I think that was Sleepover Friends, which I was not as into. BSC FTW.

I read Rand later on (mid-20s) and while it didn't CHANGE MY LIFE the way some people talk about it, I appreciated what she was going for. Sometimes you have to hit people over the head to get them to "get it". Don't understand the backlash - these were written decades ago. The only older book that really deserves…

After watching 3 seasons of project runway, I now understand that it wouldn't be possible for a 9-year-old to have her own line. Even if she were the next Christian. So I wanna know, who is behind this?

@Devonna: Even those pop artists were wearing CLOTHES in their videos. Remember the military-inspired stuff in Janet Jacksons Rhythm Nation videos? Talented dancer and "pop" singer but at least she wore clothes when she danced. I think THAT's the difference.

Tori's shoes: What is the point of them? She may as well have gone barefoot. New pet peeve: ridiculously expensive shoes with nothing to them. Do.Not.Want.

@layladylan: Crying at work depends on how many hours a day you are there. And how much you care about what people think of you. At a prior job I had a span of 4 months with 7days a week/12+ hr days. Broke up with boyfriend. Boss constantly on my back. Not only was there crying, but there was storming out of the…

@hortense: My parents are from Meriden. I grew up a half hr away from there in the middle of BFE. And for the "perk" of having to drive 20 minutes to the nearest Stop n' Shit, my folks have the pleasure of paying through the nose to for every conceivable tax. "Rowland" is a forbidden word in their house.

Learning to drive/getting a license is not the coming of age ritual in other countries. Having been in Japan, I would avoid driving if at all possible. Holy confusing, batman. Also women are just starting to gain some independence from having to be married, etc so this is not the insult we may view it as.

God she annoys me. Are there not any other models anymore? Also that TIME style insert was the most annoying thing I've ever seen. It was 2X thicker than the actual issue of TIME (the one where Joel Stein pisses himself over the Cloon.) I am done with all of it.

@notaclevername: Eh but she has passport in hand which implies international travel i.e. no shoe removal. If I was coming off a 14 hour flight I would wear that too.

Re: Dr. Phil. Anyone who had seen his E True Hollywood story would have known these things. Way to investigate, kids.

Even more embarassing than having survived years of taunting/drama/whispering behind my back was that I fell for it *AGAIN* my sophomore year of college, with my suitemates, no less.

@JessaFields: Took the words out of my mouth, thanks.

Maybe I will watch this one, if Tyra promises to not pick her "camp buddy" as the winner like last time. Did anyone really think Saleisha deserved to win? Was her bias obvious to anyone else?

The happiest news in this whole lot is that Dale from Top Chef and PR Jack are dating! I smell a new Bravo reality show!

@dirtybee:

@Jerseylicious: Yes, and yes. Loved both of those.

Unbelievable that the musical interludes/meaningful "looks" between "cast" members takes up half this show. What, could they not find more that 15 minutes of footage to put together each week? You could find 15 minutes of my life to put on TV each week and it would be more interesting. Please mtv, just put this on…

I can't watch anything on the Tyra show. Even something as cute and forced as this.
