People get pregnant while using birth control all the time. As sex educators always say “No method is 100% effective.”

I’m a lawyer in Oklahoma. The factors going into why the last 8 year so of the sentence is suspended include that its a first time offense, that its a plea deal, and assorted factors like prison overcrowding (OK prisons are heavily overcrowded and the Oklahoma Department of Corrections is severely understaffed). That…

Although I agree the sentence is ridiculously low, having to register as a sex offender for the rest of his life means a lot. He’ll be barred from most jobs (would you hire a sex offender?), restricted as to where he can live (nowhere near any schools, for example)...and his neighbors will be informed in any area he…

Best. Column. Ever! I collect these old film fan mags and find them totally fascinating - like looking into a time capsule. It’s fun to try and figure out which stories are *real* and which were totally constructed by the film studios. Sometimes the latter are really strange in retrospect, like this one artcile I came…

Seriously, good on him. Side note: the writer in that story pisses me off. Standing by and doing nothing while you watch people get bullied is really shitty. It isn’t that hard to stand up to someone who is being an asshole and it makes all the difference to person who is getting bullied. This guy had some power so he…

I’m entirely distracted by the Kia logo in the background of all the shots. My company does a lot of work for them, and they changed the logo slightly a few years ago, but the difference is subtle enough that it’s damned hard to tell if you aren’t looking at a huge blow up of the two side by side. Making sure it’s…

Because even though it’s nobody’s business, it’s her right to clarify. She doesn’t have to explain herself to anyone.

You are not an idiot, but neither you nor he are doing you any favors. Truly, shame on him for letting you do these things. He gets to benefit from all of it and get the divorce he wants while your heart and mind get twisted in knots. You have to back away. Even if you do reconcile in the future, you have to do it now…

I’m so sorry, but unless he’s actually said he’s thinking of changing his mind, then this divorce is happening and you’re not going to prevent it with all the laundry, affection, and sex in the world.

Oh god that poor girl. I hope she gets far away from that woman. That is not okay.

That was low. Grotesquely low. Child sexual abuse is not some punchline for your snarky, baseless comment.

Not really an encounter. More like a lack of encounter. I ushered at a theater where Bill Cosby was performing and my job was guarding the backstage door. Before Mr. Cosby entered, we were informed by a nervous staffer that in no circumstances were we to try to meet his eye. Apparently exchanging glances with His…

For heaven’s sakes, give it a rest.

More recent reports indicate that Pitt at least smells good (like sandalwood, I’m told) at awards shows. So Angie’s got him showering a few times a year, anyway.

I had absolutely no idea who he is, so I googled him and man, it’s just right there on his face, innit? Dude looks smug as fuck. I bet he has a tiny wee wee. I *HOPE* he has a tiny wee wee.

I critiqued Marc Maron’s interviewing style on a message board I didn’t know he read. This was during the first year or so of WTF and it seemed to me like every time his guest was a woman or some kind of ethnic/sexual minority, he’d focus so squarely on that aspect of them and ignore everything else. He wasn’t being a…

Okay, this will mark me as SO OLD, but I totally thought that was Bobby Sherman.

I bought a CD from a small band called Abney Park. Six plus weeks come and go, and I hear nothing. I learn I have to move to a different city, and try to sort out if the CD has shipped, or if I need to buy another. It’s only $20, and I don’t care about paying twice. It’s a small band. I email multiple times, and don’t…

I interpreted this as being more about Kelly Osbourne, since she called Giuliana’s comment racist on her way out the door.

Child molesters? Murderers? Come on.
