I thought the majority of the lawsuits were concerned with inflammatory bowel disease?

Without going on the pill or some other kind of hormonal treatment, I'm afraid you can't. All you can do is wash your face once or twice a day (any more than that and you're actually just encouraging the skin to produce more Sebum), exfoliate gently once or twice a week, and apply topical treatments to reduce the…

I do think Craig has been a superlative Bond though- regardless of his physique, his performance has been really effective at bringing out the darker side of the character, another aspect of the books which has been very overlooked in most of the adaptations. In some ways I think his physique has even helped him- in…

Oh don't get me wrong, I adore Cumberbatch, otter face and all. And I think if you saw him walking down the street you'd probably think he was very nice-looking. But he's not your standard heartthrob fare, and I think that he's so universally fanciable is a huge testament to his talent (which is a perennially…

Fair enough- I got it for free on the NHS, which was great. It is a very extreme treatment though, so yeah, if you're happy enough with your skin most of the time it's probably not worth it.

My point is that it's not inappropriate for Bond to be played by a more muscular-looking guy given the physicality of his role (the Bond series isn't Tinker Tailor after all), and especially given that past incarnations of Bond have been of this type. Stanley's image of a golden-age cinema that didn't focus on the…

I dunno. For the time period Sean Connery was very buff, and in fact Ian Fleming thought he was too muscular and "unrefined" to play his literary creation. But Cubby Broccoli created a hard-man version of Bond for the films, so if anything Craig's portrayal is a return to form.

Accutane's your Hitler there. I really wouldn't recommend getting it off-brand, it's well worth saving up for and doing it through a dermatologist. It really is the only half-way effective way of tackling sebum production (that's the technical term for the oil), but the side-effects, of which I encountered a few, can…

This is how I've always understood it: most acne results from an over-production of sebum, not from bacteria, although already-present bacteria on the skin can make an existent break-out significantly worse (which is why they always tell you to wash your hands if you really must squeeze your spots). Sebum production…

I think the thing is it's the [insert female character] bit that's important. Bond is a secret agent of the old school- he's supposed to be built like a tank because his job is so physical. If his role was being an accountant having him be so pumped would be obsolete, but in this role his physicality makes sense.

Benedict Cumberbatch and Matt Smith immediately popped into my head when I started thinking about this. Both phenomenally successful younger lead actors who could probably have their choice of the flower of British womanhood (and a large percentage of American womanhood, from what I gather), both of whom have normal…

I think most of us tend to arrive at a compromise at some point in our lives. When I was a teenager, I spent a lot more time worrying about my hair and make-up than I do now. As I get a bit older I've gained a better understanding of what is absolutely necessary for me to feel good about myself in our society…

I knew one when I was about ten. It was a puppy that a family across the street had bought (yeah, about the time 101 Dalmatians came out...) but they were pretty hopeless with it. They left her alone all day every day, so about 3-4 times a week she'd break loose from the yard and come over to our house to play with…

Wow. She could have made this list a lot shorter by just having "is a decent human being" as a single entry. But I don't think this is that outrageous, particularly if it's a list of ideals rather than requirements (she's starred a few, which suggests those are the ones she might not be prepared to move on as opposed…

I don't see wealthy anywhere on the list. She has "ambitious," but we don't know what she means by that- she could just mean "is not content to live with parents for the rest of his life."

You know, I've been with my boyfriend for over three years now, and we've totally had moments when we were irritating the heck out of each other, but we've never, ever cursed at each other. Ever. In fact I can count on one hand the number of times we've even raised our voices at each other. Which is something I…

I'm not sure that's true- she's written "qualities," which seems to describe a general way of being rather than a set of behavior.

I'm wondering if all the Hathaway hate is because she's so visibly trying really, really hard to make people like her, particularly over the last few months? Personally, I don't think trying to appear gracious and pleasant in public really counts as being "fake" so much as being polite. Also, this is her job- I have…

I think this may be the most petulant non-apology I've seen to date. I particularly like "declared they have been offended.." Yes, because the poor little fashion industry is SUCH an underdog, struggling against the capricious, imperialist forces of the masses.

I think it works differently for each couple. My aunt and uncle have always been adamant that they weren't going to be constantly all about their children, that they were going to continue to have their lives and that my cousins would have to fit in with whatever they decided to do. Which sounds cold, but frankly, if…
