Oh, I didn’t get judgement from you! In fact, I responded to your comment, rather than some of the others precisely because it was lacking in judgment. I really don’t get the whole “he’s such a douche”, “OMG, Leo is gross, ew!” and “I’d rather die than sleep with him” rhetoric, but that’s a Jezebel commentariat issue

I think my issue with the whole “Leo is shallow” argument is that it reduces him to his sexual proclivities. Is exclusively dating/banging models shallow? Absolutely! Is the Pussy Posse? I guess they might actually provide each other with a solid network of emotional support and, like, are super passionate about their

Yes! One could almost hope it might end the stranglehold of banality that Anna Wintour has on Vogue in the US, but let’s be honest: that’s never going to happen.

Lies! Their TV is amazing (and hardly any commercial breaks)! Bake-Off alone is freaking magic.

I am both thrilled and devastated by the Edward Enninful news. Thrilled for him because he is brilliant and all kinds of wonderful and deserves this 20 times over. Devastated because W was the only American magazine I could still bear to read and one that was splendidly diverse - all thanks to Mr. Enninful. I’m sure

This seems to be... a catered protest? Where can I find one of those? Because between the whimsically chic buckets of ice cold Pepsi, the live music, the fun little dance numbers and the models, it’s like a summer party at the Hamptons.

I can appreciate your consternation, but you seem to be directing it at the wrong target. I certainly never called Charles a coward - I don’t believe he is, actually. And I don’t think abdication is “no big deal” at that time or, frankly, any other time. Edward’s abdication was a HUGE deal, fortunate for the country

The Queen did actually allow her to marry Townsend: http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-38032464. Snowdon came post-breakup with Peter Townsend and while it’s not clear whether Princess Margaret threw over Townsend because she was over the drama and the struggle, had fallen out of love with him or whether the process

Oh - him and Wallis were awful and it’s a HUGE blessing for Britain (and the world, probably) that he chose love over country. Am not a fan of his in the slightest, but simply wanted to point out that marrying a divorced person is not an impossibility, as long as one is wiling to sacrifice the throne.

I guess so, but then the royals have to operate within a heavily prescriptive and restrictive environment and view compliance with those prescriptions and restrictions as a divine duty, so there isn’t much wiggle room, either practically (e.g. the Queen has to consult with the government on whether to permit her

She did actually let her marry him. The sole condition was that she’d have to be removed from the line of succession, in which she was quite far back anyway. She could even keep her royal income and all the perks. Princess Margaret simply decided it wasn’t worth the trouble. Also, Charles could have very easily

Well yeah, but I think that, at least when it comes to (raw) honey and (proper) maple syrup, they have extra nutrients that make the sugar part of it a little easier to swallow (sorry!).

My ex-BF’s best friend is Korean. He was once grocery shopping with her (in Atlanta), wearing a t-shirt that said “I am a dumb American” in Japanese. A white lady in the checkout line asked him what it said, he responded, at which point she, incredulous, turned to his BFF and demanded she tell her what it really says.

And Oh! she’s a terrible actor! I saw her in The Crucible and the Cherry Orchard on Broadway and she came close to ruining the former and insipidly blah in the latter. And she was pretty annoying on Scream Queens. Stick to your lane, girl!

Ahhh, see, my husband has a crippling fear of flying and has to fly a lot. He used to take Ambien, but he was so anxious and amped up that it wouldn’t actually knock him out and then he’d drink a ton to try and take the edge off. This meant that he still freaked, but he’d get that lovely memory loss thing and severe

Oh cut me a break, Angry Young Man. You don’t know dick about me, my age or my politics. You also seem to subscribe to the notion that your (very original) “righteous anger” gives your the right to be an unrepentant asshole. Which seems entirely par for the course. Thank heavens angry, one-dimensional dickwads like

Aw. You seem polite and nice and measured in your responses. Probably also a sheer delight at parties and a sparkling conversationalist. Also, that was a wonderful summation of the first paragraph of the Wikipedia article. There are nuances, historical perspectives and subtleties, of course, but you seem far more

Well, for starters, because the overwhelming majority of Americans haven’t the faintest clue as to what “socialism” actually means. And I’m afraid that includes you. Sincere apologies that this will likely come off as combative, as it’s not my intent, but there’s no other way I can think of phrasing it. Marx (and

Yeah - I don’t get the Clooney thing either. I mean, I think it’s a pretty sensible idea for expecting parents to stay away from active war zones/hotbeds of terrorist activity... And it’s not even like if I, as a rando pregnant lady, were to say “Gosh, now that I’m pregnant, I am definitely avoiding South Sudan!”

As a pregnant lady whose unborn child is very happily using her bladder as a bean bag/yoga ball, I am pretty sure Natalie Portman was peeing as this photo was being taken.
