I'll be honest — my daughter is a teenager and I can't recall ever seeing a Seventeen or Teen Vogue in her possession that wasn't purchased by my mother and given to her. Both of those titles always show up in those magazine subscriptions kids are forever selling to raise money for school stuff. So maybe that's the…

I don't read Seventeen because I am an Old, but I do like having print magazines for reading. Sure, a lot of the ground is covered online, for free, but I don't like being tethered to my computer/tablet/ereader/phone at all times. There's something relaxing and familiar about flipping through O or Writer or whatever…

There was a rumor that he wanted to get out after Jet died, but Kelly wanted to stay in, and used IVF to get pregnant to force him to stay with her/the Church.

Thanks!

You're not going to get an argument from me on that. But I thought the remake was quite good and I like Polley in it.

My husband had to learn the same thing. Now, if only my kid could figure that out.

And the Dawn of the Dead remake!

If you read any books on Scientology, a five year marriage contract is basically the least weird thing they've done.

Wasn't the scandal with that he tried to divorce her just under the 10 year mark so she wouldn't get any of his assets? And the courts didn't let him get away with that? Plus there were those rumors that her miscarriage was actually Ewan's baby? So much tawdriness. I wonder if we'll get a Hollywood tell all in 50…

Nicole had more of a solid-ish movie career than Katie did to start with, I think. I wonder if the angle of marrying a huge movie star was thought to elevate her about 'Joey'. I know Katie did movies, but she was just so firmly connected to Dawson's Creek in most people's heads.

Well, I suppose that depends on how much cash you'd gotten for the first 5 years. I mean, I probably couldn't spend 50 million in my life time. Or 10 million, really. And I don't think being married to him has been good to her career.

When they got married, didn't one of the tabloids claim to have seen Katie's contract and it stipulated a 5 year marriage with an option to renew for an additional 10 million dollars? And here they are, divorcing after 5 years.

If I recall correctly, the organization this priest was associated with is profiled in the book 'The Vatican's Exorcists' and it comes off as pretty sketchy.

"She was very straightforward in stating that some people look better because that is what we are conditioned to- but we must accept every body since there is little you can do to change it (and few aesthetics reasons to want to do anything drastic). "

"but if we can at least be intentional in recognizing these are messages, maybe that helps us avoid internalizing them so much? "

I did at first. My dad would sometimes make comments about her belly when she was toddler/elementary school aged, but I'd wait until she'd left the room to correct him about it. My mom will sometimes talk to me about it, but she never says anything about my daughter in front of her that I'm aware of. My kid is of the…

Thank you for confirming this post made it through. It disappeared after I hit submit and I thought to myself, 'There's no fucking way I'm typing that up again'.

I'd like to think I'm a pretty fantastic parent. As someone who grew up with a lot of negative body images issues (as you do), it was my goal to stop that shit in its tracks. If I could give any gift to my daughter, it would be freedom from that hate spiral. I can only advise you on the tacks I've taken — maybe some…

But Erin, that was my pet name for you. How did someone else find out about it?
