If men are like wine, he's a bottle of Mad Dog 20 20 wrapped in a crumpled paper bag.

Well, that just makes me sad.

@FlowbeeBryant: Dream on, grasshopper.

@lil-red: Yeah, although I'm sure they sign a disclaimer at the get-go that all they are entitled to if they win are the listed prizes, and no guarantee of in fact being a top model is being made.

@ShadyLane: You willed it away!

@rd2uk: Air. Time. (The answer to every question about why famewhores do what they do.)

She just seems insane to me. I get uncomfortable watching her speak — she smiles at the most inappropropriate moments and seems to be hanging on to reality by the tips of her red nails.

@kalane: Yes. Virginia I believe.

@ShadyLane: I don't see an apostrophe.

@DeccaLeChat: HA!

Maybe there is a God after all. And not the one Sarah Palin thinks has annointed her.

@FlowbeeBryant: Because it's demeaning and objectifying. And it smacks of the problem that women are to be judged according to their sexual allure. When people ask this about Obama, it is because lots of people *do* find him sexually attractive and the answer either way is less likely to be about diminishing him. …

All I can think of is Austin Powers: Mole...MoleMoleMole! (I don't know how to make accents, but you get the picture.)

Slightly off topic, but it always grates on me when Tyra says "in the running towards becoming ANTM." It should be "in the running to become ANTM." I just hate it when people think they are using hifalutin grammar, when in fact they're just mangling the language.

@Little Time Bomb: Yes. Precisely. All of the commentary from folks trying to justify her behavior doesn't really justify her behavior.

I can't like this woman. All the stories about her crazy Scientology attacks on people who have left that organization leave me sick to my stomach.

@legaleaglerunner: Yes. And it will consequently make others feel nervous about claiming it themselves. This is a very complicated issue for me, because I absolutely believe it happens and as you say, it's entirely believable that someone on that show is a sleaze bucket. But then, she and her husband have made wild…

@femme-bot: whew! I managed not to make *either* claim in my post! quel relief!

I'm having a hard time envisioning Heidi Montag as a standard-bearer in the anti-sexual harassment movement. Not saying it didn't happen; but given her famewhoring, it seems likely lots and lots of people will see this as a stunt to stay in the public eye.

@braindetritus: The moment I always remember is when the cat comes in the room after the baby has pooped all over her lap and looks at her as if to say: "You need to return this one. It's broken." (I also paraphrase, I am sure).
