She gave an interview with enough specifics that it really could only be a couple of people (who was out doing stadium tours at the same time, who was at same awards shows with her and kinda friendly, kinda not, etc.) Process of elimination.

Meh - got about 10 $2.50 vouchers. But you can only use 2 at a time (for 2 tickets each). So maybe $10 off a concert. For which LiveNation will charge a $20 fee to print the tickets on my own computer.

And not even a tandem jump! I salute you, brave lady!

Here you go!

It’s the quiet ones that always surprise you.

I was all smiling, but you have a point. Haters are going to be pulling up every bit of dirt on these guys and if there’s any it will be public by Monday.

I see what you did there!

That was Jackie O’s approach to the paparazzi - wear the exact same outfit (in her case a black turtleneck and a trenchcoat, as I recall) every single day, and photos of you are worth much less money because they all look like they were taken the exact same day as the last set of photos you tried to sell of her.

You know, I looked at one of the TAYLOR SWIFT LOVE LIFE timeline things yesterday, and most of her celeb relationships have lasted 3-5 months, tops. Which isn’t saying that she can’t keep a man — it’s saying that the media has likely blown most of them up way beyond what she personally might have done, being any other…

Well, that was an unexpected delight to see on a slow day at work... brava!!

I’d love for them to compare and contrast hate mail on the topic. I’m guessing the responses she got were far more vicious than he got. Sure, he probably got a lot of “traitor!” and “sell-out!” and “die, commie bastard!”... but what do you want to bet Carlson got stuff that was many orders of magnitude more horrible?

Maybe he was under the impression that she’d see it as a mutually beneficial move, not realizing she’s smarter than he is?

Lots of children of insanely rich people are morons who don’t take advantage of their considerable advantages — can’t blame a guy who actually does.

They probably had to cross 20 yards of sharp rocks to get there.

That’s been a typical daytime temperature this past month, especially close to the beach. Cool summer so far.

She never stopped working — the last couple of years she was amazing on HBO’s Getting On.

True, but that was kind of par for the course. We have this Arthurian myth about ancient nobles, but basically they were warring crime families with pretty much the same code of ethics. Betrayal was most likely to come from within the organization, and you dealt with it accordingly.

Well, the world needs peasants, too.

Understood. There are pogo up and down and sing at the top of your lungs songs (I’d call Goodbye Earl one of those). I just have PTSD from a Darius Rucker concert where these chicks were belting the ballads at the top of their lungs. Acoustic guitar ballad = sit down, shut up, let the man sing!

I’m with the “stop singing” contingent. Hook up your MP3 and rock your little hearts out driving to and from the concert. Roll the windows down, let it rip.
