That can be said for many artist. Fantasia has to sing like Fantasia to get minimal attention. If Beyonce looked like Fantasia with the same talent she would be working at Walmart in Houston.

Yeah when I read the Jezebel article filled with comments about how awful and “fake” Swift is for donating money to Kesha’s legal defense (when very few artists have come out publicly on her side at that point), I knew there was no point in her ever trying to win some folks over. Haters gonna hate.

But now, if Katy flops (as it appears she might) then Taylor gets credit for delivering the final blow.

Does it count as stealing attention when Perry got said attention by having Swift’s name in her mouth during this entire promotional push? It does seem like it’s at least 40% Swift’s attention in the first place.

For me it’s his honesty. I respect someone who can admit to being a coward.

He’s dignified and intelligent, and these days these two qualities will skew anyone’s judgment.

Trump recently joked that Kusher is now more famous than he is, so yeah, I’d say a divorce is a question of not if, but when.

[...] Progressives who hoped that Ivanka Trump and Kushner’s presence in Trump’s inner circle would moderate the president’s most extreme stances said they saw Thursday’s exit from the climate accord as another demoralizing moment.

I went to an all-girls Catholic school, so I never had the opportunity to directly derail a young man’s education with my foundation garments. What is weird, though, is that even in my Catholic school uniform (high-collared shirt, necktie, calf length tartan skirt and brown loafers with knee socks - oh yeah, it was a…

When I don’t have anything to do, I like to sit down with my kindle and add books to my kindle wish list. It’s getting to be crazy long. I have a copy of The Six sitting on my desk that I haven’t had the chance to start yet. Reading something by Danielle Steel sounds pretty good right now too, she’s my guilty pleasure.

*shrugs shoulders, and patiently waits for Black Panther where at least I can see the dora milaje kick some serious ass. Also gets back to writing letters to Fox for them to free Storm*

My mother is an avid reader. She’s probably forgotten more books than I’ve ever read, even though she passed her love of reading on to me.

In another post I offered a simple solution: Make amends by offering a male only double feature: Brokeback Mountain and Beaches.

Yep, we Normals are livin’ the dream! Don’t let the secret get out.

“Women, in general, get a lot of pushback, especially if you’re successful and attractive.”

As I have written before, my daughter died when she was five in 2011, two months after being diagnosed with an inoperable and malignant brain tumor. There is no cure for her type of tumor - DIPG - and current treatments do little more than extend life for a few months.

Are you ever really a “former” serial killer?

The same thing is happening at Fox News. There are a couple of good articles (on Slate for example) pointing out the rather obvious reasons. Railing against the tawdry sexual exploits of Bill Clinton are good for ratings. Whipping up jingoistic frenzy after a terrorist attack and for an unnecessary war is good for…

Not petty. Magnique!

And he said a line that will almost certainly become synonymous with this period in American history, and will be used in the future books and movies that will tell the story of this time, when, in response to a question about the possibility that US persons may be guilty of collusion, he said that “frequently, people…
