Wow, I totally missed that shitstorm. It totally gives me perspective on making sure I don't get too wrapped up in commenting (although the things I enjoy most on Gawker and Jezebel are things like liveblogging and the social threads).

I remember my first gyno visit and I was scared too. Something that helped me was thinking of some of the procedures in relation to having to use tampons (in terms of having to relax and stuff). My particular gynecologist was great- she had a soothing voice, she talked me through the procedure (like Kris10_ShineOn…

Yeah, Jean-Ralphio is also a "schticky" character and they use him in juuust the right doses. They need to use Chris sparingly like Jean-Ralphio.

Very cool of her to do this. She should keep up these theme parties (even though I'm aware she's lobbying for a part in the Hunger Games)- she could become the modern day version of Carole Lombard with her theme parties: [en.wikipedia.org]

Nice- I live an hour away from there, but my best friend lives in Cincy and I visit her as much as I can. I'll make sure to suggest it to her!

I thought Jim Broadbent would've been an interesting Haymitch and Cillian Murphy a great Cinna (but if you poke around the internet I am far from being original on that thought). Skaarsgard as Cinna is a great suggestion- I would've loved to see him play a role that required such a different personality from Eric on…

I agree that it feels odd due to the overall desperation wafting off the screen (plasticky is a good term!), but I do appreciate seeing such a variety of designs with a distinct point of view- last season's snoozefest did itself no favors with so many team challenges.

I love your recommendations! Keep 'em coming- you're awesome!

I don't even care if it's real. I want that shirt!

She seems so down to earth and doesn't have a "plastic" look to her that's really refreshing. I agree that dark hair looks great on her- but I thought the blond hair she had in Mean Girls washed her out even more.

I would do that too, if it was for ZARA. Now that's a store worth standing in your underwear in public for.

That's funny because I think Kim is friends with Prince's ex-wife.

You welcome! :-) Happy New Year's!

I have a variation on that (mine isn't funny though). No one made a noise during the rape scene, but when the dead cat showed up, everyone dry-heaved.

Substitute "amazeballs" for "fetch" and my thoughts exactly.

If you're a little of both, the book should still help.

Well, she should've never let go.

Might I add, AND ANYA?!!?!?!??! WTF?!?!?!?!?!?!

I read an interview somewhere where a director talked about how great his eyes are and how it must be a result of how he seemed to have lived a lot of life in his younger years (I believe he was raised by his grandparents and grew up in a rough neighborhood? Also, he worked as a baker to make money when he was…

Yeah, still working out- but I slowed down because I think I started getting too obsessed with the weight loss goal and realized I needed to relax. Although I am trying to increase my workouts a bit more because now I've gotten a little *too* relaxed around the holidays, lol. But yeah, at the minimum, I do at least…
