It’s a real shame that neither Angie nor Brad cares about their kids enough to keep all this shit quiet. When there are kids involved, you handle your nastiness privately.

I’m right there with you. The books are such a fun, juicy, over-the-top, insider gossip take on that whole subculture. I’m so glad they made this into a movie and I can’t wait to see it!

She’s photographed out and about on the regular. But, please, continue to be obtuse.

Because she has regular eyebrows now, duh.

Rihanna didn’t even shave her eyebrows off and draw them back pencil thin!!!

The makeup artist “erased” them with foundation, drew the pencil brows on, and they photoshopped out the texture of the brow hairs in post production. I pity the fools who do this IRL.

So, was this an actual interview, in which Hope had questions and Beyoncé answered? Or did Beyoncé have her narrative ready to go, and needed a writer to make it flow for the written page/screen? (This is not a diss of Hope in any way, just curious, from a journo POV.)

Yeah. Which is why I said “rude” in quotes. Bobby was clearly in the wrong!

To be clear, she was hired for the opinion page. The op-ed is there specifically to take a side: to write pieces that communicate a specific opinion or stance on whatever is being discussed in the article. Reporters and regular editors are the ones who take an even, unbiased approach.

He brought them in from another place, which is what motivated the “rude” behavior that instigated the throwing of said hamburgers. It’s a tangled web he weaves.

None of those things existing when Two and a Half men got really popular. One of my best friends loved it. I was like “how are we friends?!?”

I have no problem with women who change their appearance, have plastic surgery, etc. People should do what they want (within reason). However, I wish more people were transparent about it—it’s the one thing to admire about Iggy Azalea. In the least, don’t lie about it. I think that’s where it goes a bit awry...for me,…

And I’d refer you to my earlier comment where I specified the labeling aspect of this conversation. From a media POV, anything covering topics of interest to women—be it fashion (even tangentially) or more serious topics like women’s health, women’s issues or parenting—is lumped together as “women’s media,” and is…

Where did I say it was an attack on women more generally?

The characterization was “Glossy rags like Vogue” = women’s fashion mags = a genre traditionally, and dismissively, referred to as “women’s media.” Of course there is more to what women actually consume than that, but “glossy rags” (even as they move from print to online) are the biggies.

Unless I knew I was going to be super crunched for time to make a connection or something like that, that wouldn’t bother me, personally. Again, if I’m traveling solo, I’m open to a seat swap if it’s an exact trade (window for window, aisle for aisle) or an upgrade (I was assigned a middle and was getting an aisle or…

Oh, I wouldn’t move for that—it needs to be an exact swap of seat type.

Kim K has the time and the money for it to be her hobby—actually, the way she looks is the basis for her fame and various business ventures. So it’s her actual job. (This is not to say that she hasn’t looked good at any particular size, but KK clearly wants to look a certain way.)

Yeah, that stinks. If I was willing to make a swap in that situation, I’d say: “OK, I’ll sit in your seat up there, IF you bring me my bag when the flight’s over.”

So feminists aren’t allowed to participate in fashion or beauty, even if they enjoy it? Sorry, I don’t buy into that.

So, instead of trying to change the way things are done or evolve problematic processes and points of view, opt out entirely? That’s about as effective as covering your ears, closing your eyes and chanting “I can’t hear you?” No thanks.
