The way Beyonce has marketed/not marketed this pregnancy makes me more convinced that Blue Ivy was born via surrogate while this time she carried the babies...too tired to break down the theory right now, but wondering if anyone else feels the same? She has been secretive about different things this time around. Then…

If Jezebel suddenly found out that Banksy is Beyonce, they’d proclaim Banksy BRILLIANT, but otherwise, whatever.

I believe it’s an Episcopal school. Episcopalians believe in using God given reason, and faith isn’t a requirement for participation in the life of the church or attendance at school etc. Science is considered compatible with religion, Bible is not taken literally, women and LGBTQ folks can be ordained as priests. Not…

A friend of mine who worked in Hollywood once met Julie Andrews as part of an awards show telecast and described her as the nicest person he ever met in entertainment. The only other people he spoke highly of that he met during his career were Dick Clark and Desmond Tutu.

Fuck that guy.

Well, my point was that in the US, the couple would have likely divorced and the man would have married his true love. I don’t endorse cheating, but the original couple had an arranged marriage and turned out to be terribly incompatible. Yes, he cheated but it seems like kind of an impossible situation when divorce…

I’m sorry. Wishing you all the best, to the extent such is possible.

It struck me as really sad at times. I know a couple — man is married but wife moved abroad to be with the grandchildren after he had an affair with his employee. The affair has now been going on 20 years. She never married and lives with her elderly mother; he lives with his elderly parents as well. The couple take…

This is a great post. I would just add this though: as a non-Indian who lived in India, I met many, many people who were married who did not live with their spouse because their marriages were unhappy, but they did not divorce. I’m not sure you can compare divorce rates between US and India, since it’s more taboo…

I like the Hanson song. No worse than most of the crap on the radio. But if Maroon 5 sang it, I’d hate it, so I have some Hanson bias working.

thanks for the resource. As a religious person, I would disagree that religious based donations only do harm...but you have to be super careful. Zero prostelitizing at my Episcopal Church where we feed the homeless. Seriously, helping people is not conditional. Help because it’s the right thing to do. the end. And I…

I hear what you’re saying...but there’s no guarantee that non-religious local NGOs won’t be exploiting people or wasting money either. It’s very difficult to tell from a distance how money gets used, which is why folks tend to donate either through someone they know or a huge charity. I’ve been involved in a…

Here’s the key part of feud scenario: dancers were WILLING to leave Swift and go back to Katy. They found Swifty leave-able. That’s the burn to Swift’s ego, not the loss of dancing talent.

“she needs to escalate it” ha

There are already plenty of Christians in India, many of whom convert to escape the strictures of caste system. I don’t agree with demanding belief as a condition of assistance, and if her group is doing this, it’s not ok, but there seems to be zero evidence/detail one way or another in this story, so maybe don’t jump…

Thanks for calling out Ellen, often the mean girl.

All the best divas are named Patti. Let’s get LuPone and LaBelle together for a divas tell all.

These fakes aren’t all guys. A female centurion pinched my husband, hard, when we were there a couple years ago. It was annoying and creepy.

Ah, the heir to the British throne is more down to earth and humble than the US President

I agree. After the United debacle, I suspect a lot folks are fired up to step in.  Honestly, I’m not a man but if you catch me on the right day I will be that person who tries to inject myself into a situation if I feel like it’s unjust. Sometimes that’s helpful, sometimes not. Being an ass to a parent traveling alone…
