I just wanted to take a sec and tie this back to the idea of rape culture that we recently talked about. It's such a perfect example. In a world in which nice girls like Sally Draper are taught that "you don't kiss a boy, a boy kisses you," boys like Pete learn the reciprocal lesson of how it's his job to be an

Letterman admitted to having sex with more than one employee, right? I feel uncomfortable with all the emphasis on this one woman. TMZ's say-so is not enough to make me believe that she is even one of the women he had sex with. It seems to me that an equally plausible scenario is that as his assistant, she was in a

@bex_atl: That's exactly what jumped out at me, too! It's insane.

You guys, the vertigo stuff is interesting (here's hoping she got more of an exam from that doctor than what was shown, or else what we've really got here is documentary evidence of how bad health care is, even for rich white ladies), but can we talk about the management skills on display in that episode?!!

@sarah.of.a.lesser.god (aka Mrs. BrutallyHonestHobbit): I keep reminding myself of this point, because my instinctive reaction to the video being made public is real revulsion. But you're right, it makes it less possible to ignore. Although on balance, I don't know if it ultimately helps or hurts, because I think a

@andyburn: You're right, confidence is key. I'm a very good p. parker (I was once asked out by a guy standing on the sidewalk who saw me whip into a tough spot in a single try). But last week I moved up a level to a new tennis class, and I was the worst person in the class, so for a solid hour I was running around

@luxylux: And relatedly, yesterday Amy Poehler was on Inside the Actors Studio, and she said her main reason for marrying Will Arnett was that "he's just such a man. I had dated a lot of boys, and he's a man." Also, his voice. (Another highlight of her interview — her least favorite word is panties, which she

Boy oh boy, from the minute I read this Sunday morning, I was just thinking, please let jezebel take a pass on this one. And when we made it through Monday without it, I thought we had it made!

@stacyinbean: The all-time best amazing race team identifier was a few seasons ago, there was a dating couple. And everytime they were on screen, the tag at the bottom said "Chuck and Millie, dating virgins."

I watched Models of the Runway, which I'd never done before. When they got in those paper dresses, they had to stay in them for 7-8 hours for the duration of the runway show and judging, and because they were paper, they couldn't sit down in them, or go to the bathroom. One girl, Carol Hannah's model, even had to be

I'm extremely happy to see her get some fawning coverage from a magazine — something to balance out the wicked hatchet job vanity fair did last month in its heath ledger article.

@dreamweave: Don't worry. During Roger's match (I think the above pic was during some other match, as the empty seats make me think it isn't Roger's box), Wintour was sitting next to Gavin Rossdale and Gwen Stefani, and let's just say that Gwen and Anna have pretty different ideas about "tennis appropriate." I

It's more of a pulling an Oprah, no?

@Skellatrix: And mine! Every time — I mean *every* time — I see True Life is on, I check to see if it's that one. I have got to get it on my tivo and leave it there for life. I don't know why exactly, and I probably wouldn't like the answer if I analyzed it, but there is something about those people and their story

@girlwonder: Yes, because she put her hand on her belly right then. Which, if we've learned anything from the tabloids, definitely means there's a baby in there.

You know what my takeaway from this was yesterday? Women at work get bullied by men and women. Men at work get bullied by men.

@pica: Agreed. Over the last few years, I've quit two jobs at the onset of major depressive episodes. And all I could do was get myself back to just-barely-functioning before I had to find a way to support myself again. Now I just work on a project basis, because I never know when I might need to quit again to go home

@pinkyBella: call them — I deposited my $13.91 check yesterday.

I was so bummed when they shut down. And adding insult to injury was the fact that conde nast thinks Glamour is the appropriate mag to switch Domino subscribers over to. No thanks, I'll take my $13.91 refund.
