I used to work in high-end menswear retail in Manhattan (I now work in media, which is a whole other set of weird encounters). We got a lot of celebrity customers. I spent the better part of half an hour helping Kyle McLachlan pick out a tie. Jason Bateman was a total sweetheart and very low-key but personable. Shaun…

I'm so glad I went to a high school in California where prom was a VERY minor deal. Most girls just wore shorter dresses from Forever 21 (this was 2006-07ish) and the biggest deal was that you had to go to group dinners at Red Lobster or Romano's Macaroni Grill. I ended up wearing a dress from Anthropologie (it had…

And if this were literally any other female celebrity, the headline would have been "SO-AND-SO PHOTOSHOPS THIGH GAP INTO INSTAGRAM SELFIE!!!" I've said it before, but the Beyonce worship on this site is so transparent. She's exactly like every other A-list celebrity. Get over it.

I misread this as "I ate a dog treat once on a date" and was briefly very confused.

But are they still going to sell those University of Pink hoodies? I hope not. I don't even think that's an accredited university.

I have a theory that the reason she befriends so many teens is because she sees herself as a stable, successful figure and wants to guide them through their "transition years" in the industry. (Didn't go so well for Selena, but it's really hard to compete with even a non-famous douchebag boyfriend.) I feel like if she…

Ding ding ding. I don't have kids, but if I did, I wouldn't want to have them exposed to literal objectification on their way to school. And the whole process of advertising cosmetic surgery really gets under my skin - do it if you want to, God knows I'd fix my chin if I had the extra money, but marketing it like this…

** their entire lives, rather - word vomit.

Agreed 100%. Anyone with an iota of knowledge about how the entertainment industry works isn't going to look to pop stars for serious statements on social justice. It's not just foolish, it's disrespectful to the academics who have spend their entire years studying and writing books about social problems. A pop star…

Are you not aware of the backlash and online flogging that female celebrities get when they say things like "I don't really believe in feminism because I like men"? It's nothing but bad press for 2-3 days afterward. Another commenter hit it on the head when they pointed out that someone in B's camp probably saw an…

Or possibly she conducted the interview through email so that her spokespeople could carefully craft those bland Women's Studies 1100 one-paragraph responses for her, lest we all suddenly realize the emperor has no clothes and Beyonce is not the Rhodes scholar on 21st-century feminist discourse we want her so…

It's another one of her dogs.

Stephen Colbert the person is so fascinating, though. I've grown very fond of "Stephen Colbert" over the past few years but I'd be totally cool with the Letterman replacement.

Greek yogurt, honey, and brown sugar. Mix well and dip strawberries/bananas/apple slices into it. Or just eat it like that. It's pretty much the best way to eat yogurt.

As a person who does not enjoy the outdoors, other people, or most incidences of live music (excepting musicals, operas, classical recitals, and anything else where I get to sit in an assigned seat in a climate-controlled room), I have no idea what the appeal of Coachella actually is. I can think of so many other…

That sounds great, until you find out Goodwill exploits its disabled employees with extremely low wages. Promoting the company doesn't automatically make her a bad person, but it doesn't automatically make her a good person, either.

I was at Barneys. The commission was great, but having to look super put-together at all times and dealing with the non-famous Wall Street-y customers definitely wore me down after a while. I was in college at the time and it was definitely preferable to working at Starbucks, though.

Same here, and the nicest celebs I helped were Ralph Fiennes, Jason Bateman, and Kyle McLachlan. High-end menswear retail in NYC - so many weird experiences. It's hard to be totally professional when you're helping Dale Cooper choose a tie.

Yeah, that is really disgusting. As someone who used to work retail in NYC during college, I have very little patience for anyone, celebrity or not, who pulls that kind of shit. Judge a person by how they treat those who are far below them, and all that stuff. Why is Jezebel so far up Beyonce's ass that they can't…

I think it could actually be productive to have a conversation about how easy it is for Miley, a Disney-made multimillionaire who was born into wealth, to steal aspects of an assumed identity from Debbie and her ilk, most of whom actually came from low-SES backgrounds and grew up in the Bay Area, which has…
