I come from the public arena. I have stood and watched patrons say that their children haven't been doing 'anything' after being asked to keep a closer eye on them because they were screaming and throwing things, or climbing to the top of the book shelves and jumping off (the small children's area has low, heavy…

I also worked in a library. In your experience in the same, have you ever seen a patron asked to leave because her child laughed, once? I certainly haven't, either as an employee, or a life long library patron. I'll lay dollars to donuts that there was more going on that one laugh from a child.

Well, she obviously references The Runaways in the quote. So she's heard of them. And she probably even likes them, at least in theory. But if she really wants to model herself after someone, Jett's solo career is the far better choice.

I have to agree with you. I had a friend who worked for for MAC who gave me 2 dozen tubes of Russian Red, which I in turn have been giving out to pretty much everyone I meet. Every single person loves the way the color looks on them. It's some sort of miracle color.

As a Philadelphian of Polish decent, I can tell you that not only do we have perogi in Philadelphia, we have our own Polish enclave, and plenty of places to buy homemade (not frozen) perogi in the city. We also put fries on our sandwiches. And we have the soft pretzel, the cheesestake, and the Tasteycakes. Plus all…

A couple of years ago, PW had an interesting opinion column that said that Pittsburg's relationship to Philadelphia is like Philadelphia's relationship with New York. We both think we're in big rivalries with these cities and spend a lot of time building up our hatred of them, but they're not thinking about us.

My daughter was given a Nook this summer by a well meaning grandparent. I borrowed it to read a book on it to see what I thought and was very 'meh' about the experience. (I am, however, insisting she charge it up for this weekend so we'll have it in case the power goes out.)

Wow, 10 whole options to choose from?! Such generosity AA bestows on us, the fatasses of the world. I, for one, can't wait to refuse to buy their clothing in the 'XL' size.

My doctor put me on the same stuff to deal with this unbelievably persistent patch of acne I have on my cheek and I swear it doesn't do anything at all. Like you, it's not doing anything to really make my skin look better (my bc took care of my cystic acne, thankfully).

She's a delightful old broad. And I mean that as the highest compliment.

I love you, Carrie Fisher. For realz.

Well, except for Angela Bowie, his first wife.

I've read elsewhere that the money received for reality shows is paid out upon completion of filming — so they could possibly be making bank, but if they're not careful with their spending, they won't have cash coming in for another year.

I know we're all focusing on the nails and the phone, but I thought that the lack of affection Amber showed when Leah was dropped off was far more troubling. She didn't kiss her or hug her — sure she picked her up and carried her around, but that's it. (We also certainly don't know what happened off camera either.)…

There's a difference between systematic representations across media and individualized commercials. Unfortunately one tends to inform the other. The problem is (as always) the pigeonholing of race (or gender) as a shorthand to convey a certain message — in this case, Asians=intelligence. Which is the same thing that…

Are you suggesting that Dirt Bag is a new feature? Because the gossip posts have been around forever.

There have already been some great responses to your comment, but I'd like to add, what does "more" mean? Is it 2 more clients accused of sexual assault than breaking and entering (for example)? 4? 20? Is she defining this as clients 'wrongfully accused' because they weren't convicted? The conviction rate for rape…

The owner also listed the business as 'closed' on google reviews, I think to try and stem the massive tide of 1 star complaints.

Linda Perry has a fabulous career as a song writer and producer. Beautiful? Get the Party Started? Perry songs and number 1 hits. She's worked with Courtney Love, Pink, Xtina, Solange, Grace Slick, Joan Jett, Gwen Stefani, Cheap Trick, and the Dixie Chicks, among others. Four Non Blondes may not have been a huge…

Ryan Gosling never sleeps. He only waits.
