I had this same one!

I understand, but there also is the need to balance the rights of the accused (I’m not saying victims are making things up, just that it’s hard to prove you didn’t do something, moreso the more time has passed since the act alleged). I’d be interested in knowing how the Canadian system works... I can’t quite see what…

Back in the day, didn’t somebody say Jackson gave them wine and called it “Jesus juice”?

Yeah, that’s “well, it’s been terrific seeing you, but I’ve GOT to run” body language

I feel bad for the bar staff who had to empty the damn ice dispenser because of him, but shame on management for not just kicking him out when it happened — guess they wanted those $800 bottles sold more than they wanted to back up their staff.

It’s like a human Grumpy Cat, without the charm.

Yeah, my mother and her girlfriends were told to stay away from her parish priest in the 1940s. No explanation given, just “under no circumstances go near him or the rectory except during mass.” It’s always gone on and some parents have always put their kids on alert (even if we can’t comprehend why they didn’t get…

Yup. There are actually laws on the books in Maine limiting how much lobster can be served to prisoners before it’s cruel and unusual.

They may have been concerned about a concussion and wanted to keep him around for that, but given his resources, he could leave the hospital and be seen, stitched up, and monitored in more comfort and privacy. There’s leaving against medical advice and going home to your apartment and your cat, and there’s leaving…

I once worked with Nina Starr Braunwald, the first female cardiac surgeon (she implanted the first artificial valve). She was about 5 foot nothing, and depending on the surgical set up, stood on a stool to operate. More than once, surgical “colleagues” kicked the stool out from under her as she operated. She told me…

“I find it equally silly that adult women are claiming the problem is the teen boy isn’t attractive enough to fuck. Umm, yes they can be. The issue isn’t the attractiveness, it’s the morality of the action.”

My grandparents were close friends with an interracial couple in the 1940s in Massachusetts. My father said their kids had a terrible time, but he didn’t give specifics. They would vacation with my grandparents, but my grandparents would book the cottage, pay for it, etc, and then when they arrived there were often…

To me, it read as shocked that somebody actually posed that particular question in front of a live audience. Not shocked at the accusation. He didn’t look flustered, he looked like he was slowing down to choose his words carefully and shut it down from going further.

Olivia may not have stood the test of time, but she’d been a superstar for years before Grease.

The son of a colleague died when his high school friends covered up his absence on a school trip (thinking he was breaking curfew, off having fun). He had fallen on a hike and died from his injuries/exposure, which likely would not have happened if the people who were initially with him that day hadn’t decided not to…

I am so sorry this happened to you.

I think that similar clauses are why Tom Cruise and Donald Trump opted out of some of their marriages just shy of contractual deadlines

I remember a few years ago there was a barely disguised blind item about her catching him getting a blow job on some movie set and making a colossal scene that pretty much meant there was no way 500 people didn’t know about it within moments. I guess it’s a testament to his popularity that it never really got further…

I think when Nashville was flooding she came out quickly with a million dollar donation — it kind of rocked everybody because it was early and other stars needed to step up more than perhaps they had originally intended to.

If you could buy your way into 10 years of multi-platinum sales with a 3% stake in an indie label, there are a lot of rich jerks who would do so gladly for their kids. But it’s a bit more complicated than that, as it turns out. Lots of people have had monster first albums, then nothing. You may not like the product,…
