That creep de la Renta is even creepier than I thought. http://gawker.com/505829/oscar—annette-revealed

Oscar de la Renta really needs to stfu on Michelle. The horse he's been beating is dead.

It was a dreadful piece. I was particularly rankled by the dismissal of their activities as just being by some "girls," by a man who *supports* them. Stahl should be ashamed of herself.

Yep, seems exactly like what John Galt would do. I won't ever shop at that purveyor of overpriced nonsense.

And then there's this piece, calling into question the presuptions underlying such studies. http://www.nytimes.com/2012/06/03/opinion/sunday/we-only-think-we-know-the-truth-about-salt.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0

Dina Lohan, obvs!

I'm afraid I don't see why this is an anti-feminist statement. At most, it may be a tad naive. The way I see it is that she's saying she feels like her parents raised her to be confident in her abilities — what is so terrible about that?

Bravo!

Where in that quote does she say she's not a feminist? And while I also hate it when women feel the need to deny they are feminists, wouldn't a true feminist grant to all women the right to define themselves without condemnation? Her quote suggests to me that she believes things that a feminist would, even if (as…

I can't really find fault with Taylor Swift's comments, and suspect that the hostility has something to do with (a) the fact that she is very pretty (and therefore somehow less entitled to feel hurt and bad about things); and (b) that she took on the "sainted" Tina Fey. I like Tina just fine, but her joke was part of…

Not buying it. If they know that that wouldn't have called it "an HBO movie called The Normal Heart."

The Normal Heart was an amazing play before apparently being turned into this planned movie, and you kinda ought to know that when writing about it.

Slow, delighted clap.

I was on a whale watching trip just north of San Diego (in Dana Point) a week and a half ago and our boat came upon a pod of what the captain estimated was 1000 dolphins. It was the most amazing thing I have ever seen.

Yes, actually, the original post very clearly accused the "white media" of pouncing on Brown's every move. This is called race baiting. And if Chris Brown hadn't continued to be a raging asshole with obvious unresolved anger problems one might have some hope for him changing, but that is not the case. No one but…

I was plenty angry at Mel Gibson. I am unaware of Sean Penn or Sean Connery having been convicted of assault, as Chris Brown was. Do provide the proof of your accusations, please. And of course the contention that because some white people have gotten away with abusing a spouse (assuming you are even right about…

I would love it if the Grammys would stop forcing him down our throats.

If he didn't keep on engaging in shitty, violent, behavior, there would be no news. He is a thug and it's awful that he is given the prominence at the Grammys that he gets. And the idea that this is some conspiracy by the "white media" is disgusting race baiting. Oh, and please do tell us which white entertainers…

Yes, because he's a raging asshole.

It's not blaming the victim, it's holding an adult accountable for her stupid, stupid choices. And treating her like she can't be criticized for these choices because she is a victim robs her of her agency entirely.
