The treatment stars get from the papparazi is shameful and we, as consumers, have created it. Magazines would not pay thousands upon thousands of dollars for pictures of celebrities children if it didn't sell like gangbusters. Don't buy gossip rags and don't give hits to places like TMZ.

Jenji Kohan was on Fresh Air today talking about how she is able to tell stories about black and Latina women on Oran…
Welcome to the over 30 Mohawk club.
I cut my hair when the moment strikes me. When I'm drunk, usually. That's always a good moment.

Once all women know that they judge their own self worth, and do not have to subject themselves to your "enough," then ho boy, is shit going to hit the fan. The power you will have to make women…
I'm always pretty amazed to see what teens google. (I clear browser histories as a volunteer at the library.) "Why are my friends mean to me?" "How do I make friends?" It makes me want to give them all hugs, except the one 13 yo who has set up a ridiculous fake profile on a dating site, and just looks at pictures of…
Jennifer Tress was inspired to write her new book You're Not Pretty Enough after being told just that by her…
