Margaret, I follow you on twitter and saw your comments and agreed/empathised with you wholeheartedly. Now this article makes me want to scream in agreement. And cry. I wish I could hug 13 year old me and tell her she is not ugly, too. But I can't, so I just make damn sure every girl and woman in my life now knows how…

Haha! She's great. She's one of several British writers I discovered when I first arrived here who I have grown to adore. Caitlin Moran and Eva Wiseman are my other favourites (also on twitter).

I was just wondering what work she'd had done!

You're not alone, I've loved Megan Fox ever since I saw her red band trailer interview with Diablo Cody.

I've seen some of it (on telly, not online as I'm in the UK) but haven't made the effort to watch all of it... however it is on my list!

Me too, I have a crush on this entire film, ladies included. I mean, holy shit!

YAY! I loved Kissing Jessica Stein, all those years ago, and wondered when another great Jennifer Westfeldt film would turn up. And this one, she actually directed too! Yep, I most certainly do NOT begrudge her Jon Hamm. She is worthy.

I've been ill for a couple of days, hacking cough, sore throat, etc. I also suffer mild, cancer-specific hypochondria. So now I shall go to the bathroom and see if I can cough up my imaginary tumour...

Not necessarily. According to the interview, he had suspicions but loved his wife and wanted to repair the marriage so chose to believe the girl was his. They went on to have another kid together after that. I have no idea what the truth is and I certainly don't care, but marital affairs resulting in children are…

Oh gross, I was once dumped mid-cuddle too! Aged 18, was totally devastated. What are they thinking? Still, many years later, that ex became the friend who would always come to me for relationship advice. I got to tell him to stop being such a fucking asshole on a regular basis :)

Is anyone else concerned about Kristen Wiig and Drew Barrymore's friendship now? They were buds (DB has been on SNL loads, and she cast KW in Whip It), so I just really really hope that KW had a proper Talk with DB before hooking up with Fab. They are two of my biggest lady crushes and I don't want them to be at odds.

No one has mentioned CAKE in this thread yet. So here's one for you!

I know! I really like them. Have picked one up and he didn't bite (see story above).

Sorry about that! They really don't hurt people though, and they pretty much keep to themselves. I've only had one encounter, when I had to rescue my big brother from one. He came screaming out of the bathroom, having spotted it behind the toilet. I just put the little guy outside (the weta, not the brother) and he…

There's more :)

New Zealand does pretty well in terms of giant insects, too. This is a weta.

I'm from NZ (though not living there right now) and this doesn't surprise me at all. Attitudes toward pot are pretty relaxed, and NZ has much better quality plants to elsewhere in the world! I've never been a big pot head, but I have tried it in other countries and it just doesn't compare.

Ewww, I forgot about their pet names! Truly awful :)

Someone has answered your prayers.

Gee, you don't think that by launching a protest about her sexy photo being banned, Sydney Spies was in fact looking for the kind of attention for her sexy photo that sites like Jezebel are now giving her, do you?
