I didn't know Penn Badgley was likable until I saw him tweeting about the Black Lives Matter protests. He's one of the few celebrities I have some respect for.

I will never forgive the Gossip Girl TV show for not being faithful to the books. I was OBSESSED with those books as a teenager (it was unhealthy) and I was SO excited for the TV show to come out only to be bitterly, bitterly disappointed. Gay Chuck forever!

Give it a rest, Wesley. We get it - Taylor is so inauthentic and fake, unlike Katy who is an artiste who expresses her authentic self through her whipped cream-shooting nipples.

For some reason I not only picture Lorde being a rum & coke girl, I also picture it as specifically being Kraken rum, and that she follows the unwritten law that before taking a drink you have to dramatically shout "RELEASE THE KRAKEN!" like Lawrence Olivier.

Really no one told me that, cause Ipacked that shit in my suitcase for every trip.

Exactly. So in the US, teens start drinking alcohol at the average age of 16.1 years. So, if you grew up in New Zealand, you probably start drinking at 13.1 years of age. Even if my math is fuzzy (and probably people have done actual studies to find out when New Zealander tweens do start drinking) there is no way that…

In related news: people born in 1996 are now 18 and older.

True, but I think the point see you in rach-hell is making is that, it's not like Lorde is some naive child who's never experienced alcohol before.

No you don't, but if she's already someone who drinks (legally) at home, then its not like Taylor Swift can be held responsible for "pushing" liquor on her nor can she be expected to act like her mom and be like "NO LORDE U R UNDERAGE NO DRINKZ FOR U GO PLAY WITH UR CRAYONz". I know that's not what you're saying in…

And every country with normal drinking laws! :) But that was my question exactly. I looked it up, and she's 18, and the unrestricted drinking age is 18 there.

Rum and coke is probably an easy drink to slip to your underage friend. I say that because in college one of my friends tried to convince me that it would be a good idea for me to order a rum and coke, and he would order a regular coke and then we could just switch.

Because rum and coke is a teenager drink. Like at least 50% of my friends' first drink at a bar was a rum and coke because, well...we had heard of it. Hah.

Be careful, Lorde. It's a slippery slope; you don't want to end up like Becky.

When I was in college, I had a couple friends who were seniors but had taken a year or two off and were 24 or so. It's less weird than the fact that Jamie King who is married and 35 years old is part of their friend group. She's literally almost twice the age of Lorde and Gracie Gold and some of the other teens who…

19 years old and still bullying people?

The new Taylor Swift.

I have been saying this for decades; Madonna is....

She was Frigga (RIP) in both Thor movies. The last one only came out in 2013.

As a child I ate ladybugs because I thought they were candy.
