I'd like to put my hypothetical kid in a onesie that says, "If my Mummy does her job right, I won't have bulimia for a decade like she did and $10K will go to the college of my choice and not the dentist of my HMO's choice."

@Coldwine: Exactly. I have my grandmother's engagement ring and my grandfather died a year after she did of a broken heart. I'm not sure that I'll wear it, but I would wear that over one that I know came from a broken marriage.

I think it's lovely to have an heirloom ring, but I would want an heirloom that was from someone's grandparents who were married for 50 years and not from the most spectacularly tragic divorce in recent memory. Kate Middleton now has her dead, iconic mother-in-law's iconic ring, and although the sentiment is lovely

@Coldwine: I had the same thought... it's lovely and the sentiment is nice, but the girl's going to have enough problems being compared to his late mother as it is without her sparkler on her finger, too.

This man is clearly not an American. No American would ever shoot their television.

Trust me, your parents saying ANYTHING about your weight in college is just gravy on the eating disorder you'll inevitably leave the dorms toting with you. On graduation day it's: "Here's your diploma and a bucket of insecurities that you'll spend until you're 30 even being able to acknowledge."

When did it become fashionable to leave the house looking like you were just viciously mauled by a Turkey... and a Pheasant... and well, let's be honest: like you were jumped by the entire aviary...

Oh Iran, you give me new reasons to simultaneously love you and be profoundly disturbed by you every.single.day of the year.

I love how whenever domestic violence and/or violence against women is "performed" it's always glamorous. No one's ever missing teeth, the black eyes are always perfectly thrown (somehow the bruising always highlights the cheekbones), and no matter what, people still look beautiful.

What happens if you put a quarter in?

I feel like the psychology establishment is overcompensating for years of promoting the trope that onlies are spoiled, self-absorbed, socially impaired messes and that siblings help us become more well-adjusted. They seem to be trotting out a lot of these studies lately. Isn't there something else to study that would

@punkrockgirl: Ugh, that's depressing. Thanks for giving me permission to want to slap her and I guess I should be grateful to her for making me act like less of a bitch to my own mother.

I'm sure this is MTV's editing (so that people who love this crap like me will watch it) but Farrah always comes across to me as a spoiled, self-indulgent brat. That said, I can't help but believe that much of that behaviour is a result of her grieving the loss of Sophia's father. I feel like she is grieving, but

Attention Nancy Grace: this is how you discuss the law and defend human rights. You do it "Judge Judy Style."

You go, ladies! Keep making us proud, keep celebrating that education and I'll see you in my classroom someday!

Disney should get some kind of award for f**king-up more child "stars" than any other network. Is there some kind of quota in place that they have to meet?

The Islamic answer to this is (and this is just one opinion of many) that there is no legal injunction against shaking hands with a woman. It's forbidden if it might "incite sexual desire." The First Lady is pretty fierce, so I'm not surprised that the fundos are about to combust over a handshake.

I love when she segues into a slide show of her twins. I'm surprised she hasn't eaten one of them yet.

It's riveting stuff watching two 20-somethings try to figure-out what they want to do with their lives.
