Oh dammit, this made me cry 10 minutes before I have to leave for work and now I've upset the dog

Awww, I feel like the only reasonable response upon meeting Ali would be to burst into tears. I would have done the same thing

Yeah, I have a friend whose family life is absolute chaos. Her teenage kids scream at her and call her names, her ex says things to the kids that I consider child abuse, and she isn’t phased in the slightest. She just rolls her eyes and shakes her head like “Oh you scamps”

That’s been my experience with addicts too. I think that perhaps when he was living in France, he was involved in a program, or had great counselor/doctors or something else that helped with his sobriety. Or maybe it was also that he didn’t have a bunch of enablers or party friends that he has in LA.

I think it’s because they have no capacity for self reflection and no other marketable skills. When you know your ability to make money is contingent upon putting up with certain shit, you compartmentalize and find a way to cope. It’s how I could put up with terrible, abusive entry level jobs in my twenties, because…

To be fair, she’s only done 40 movies. And he’s directed 3, so he’s totes an expert on the industry

Oh, I fucking loved it.

One of my friends dated a guy who was drugged and had all his body hair shaved off. There’s a lot of weirdos in th world

They're on iTunes

The belt, and the weird choker. And the proportions are all wrong. Either the sleeves or the skirt need to be shorter.

I can’t believe his agent/manager/whatever didn’t intervene! Maybe they all tried and he blew them off. I have nothing and even I plan on getting a prenup because I’ve seen too many friends deal with financial horrorshows post divorce

Same.I’ve left many a family gathering early because I could not handle the noise. My record was 20 minutes into a New Year’s party

As a former bartender, I can attest that it’s incredibly common to have

I have noticed that while looking for movies to watch with my nieces. I’ve been skimming through all my favorite teen movies of the 80s & 90s and almost al feature the villain using racial slurs or mocking the hero by comparing him to a girl or accusing him of being feminine.

That was my experience too. Also, I wonder if just being a sane, responsible normal person must be a factor in getting hired enough to become a star. Unless you are so spectacularly beautiful and talented that you'll get hired regardless of your behavior.

That is absolutely hilarious!

The director was and his agent both went off on her. He was someone who really prided himself on being a decent person who treated his crews well, so I think it actually upset him pretty badly.

I was hired as a directors assistant, and one of the producers told me I was not allowed to speak to or make eye contact with the director, under threat of losing my job. She told me she would pass along any communication or requests from him instead. A couple days later the director called me over to ask me to run an…

I do too. He seems like a genuine guy, which is Especially notable considering he’s a plastic surgeon in SoCal. I love him on Botched. He manages to be compassionate, professional and yet really funny

This seems more likely.
