Ditto! Also, speaking to me on the phone doesn't offer any hint that I'm not white. It's hilarious/disheartening/hilarious again to see people meet me in person and watch them revise all the assumptions that they'd made prior to our meeting.

Here's the tweet, with the hilarious replies: https://twitter.com/Paula_Deen/sta…

I am eternally grateful that nobody else was here to witness the face I just made while reading this. Oh. My. Word. Girl parts forever.

Per Lizzie Skurnick, late of Jezebel's Fine Lines series, you've just experienced a pleasurrection. http://www.theoldhag.com/tag/pleasurrec…

Why is the name Peter Parker so sacrosanct that writers cannot do with him what they can do with a Spider-Man named Joe Blow? It's an odd roadblock that a lot of fans have, and one that I will never understand. All I hear is "but why do they have to call it marriage? Why can't it just be called a civil union or…

Halle Berry's three marriages have occurred/will occur in three different decades. That's kind of blowing my mind, although I don't know why. 1993. 2001. 2013. If this thing with Martinez doesn't work, I'm calling 2022 as her next attempt at matrimony.

A-men. Go back and read the first several editions of pretty much any established superhero comic and tell me that the character is exactly the same as the version we see in 2013. If you can you're either A) a liar or B) not terribly observant. These characters change all the time, which is what keeps them fresh and…

In my world, "Blurred Lines" is just Pharrell saying "hey hey hey" over a Marvin Hook, with TI sounding adorable on the rap part and Robin Thicke providing unintelligible falsetto background noise. I had listened to that song about 40 times before I ever listened to all of the lyrics. They're dreadful, so back to my…

Damn it all if I didn't have to scroll back to look at said cheekbones, which I'd, um, somehow overlooked before.

There's a chain of stores named Acne? Gross gross gross no no why

Happened to me on Saturday. I saw Bruno Mars in concert, and was left reeling at the fact that he actually has a great voice. I knew I would see a good show, but I didn't expect him to be a good singer, too. I tend to see the same 7 acts over and over because I know they're great singers, but I branched out for that…

Oh, honey. On Perry Island, the menfolk will make sure you get wherever it is they decide that you need to go. Your jaunt to the mainland sounds a little troublesome, the guys are going to have to think real hard about whether it's in your best interest.

Not a good angle; he's far more symmetrical than he appears to be in that photo. The GOP has been trotting him out (a Bush! who's Brown!! and speaks Spanish!!!) for nigh on 15 years, but I'm not sure they really believe in him.

Avril, bud, when your eye makeup starts trying to run away from you, it's time to sit down and seriously think about the choices you've made in life.

Kermit is a big fan of The New York Times' 1 = trend policy.

I love Josh Groban the talking/texting person SO HARD, but the only way I would pay to see him in concert is if he promised only to filibuster and not to sing at all.

My love for Josh Groban is boundless, as long as all he does with his mouth is sing (or kiss me).

A lot of them don't even kind of secretly think it. They just say it, and then say that they were misunderstood if they catch flack for it.

I feel like Serena Williams needs to send Paula Deen a huge "thank you" bouquet of flowers. It if had been a slow news week, those Steubenville remarks would still be front (blog) page news, but Paula saw Serena's recorded magazine interview and raised her an official court deposition.

I don't give a shit what his opinions are, as long as he doesn't seek to bring about or keep in place legislation that makes it legal to discriminate against people due to their sexuality.
