I live for the comments on this series.

We tend to be desensitized to the idea that paparazzi constantly and invasively photograph celebrities

And the reality is that for those who do not court the tabloids, it's fucking terrifying. Kristen Bell has a story about coming off a late flight in LAX, with her infant son, and being followed through the airport to her car by a pack of screaming men, which would be very scary. Lorde is saying this man frightens her,…

I doubt it. Paps wouldn't try and step in if they saw a crime committed, they'd photograph it then try to be the first to sell the pictures.

A pack of men, whose presence you do not want, following you with cameras, screaming at you? Yep, that would make me feel totes safe.

Not necessarily. Case in point: Princess Diana.

It's amazing that anyone would want to be photographed with Lavigne. Granted, I've never been to Brazil, but I assumed they had a 6 hour time difference. I didn't realize it was 2002 down there.

You were driving and reading Jezebel??? Where do you live? I want to avoid that place.

Reading is hard.

Reading is hard.

Yeah I'm not gonna lie, I admire this kid's spunk. (Pun totally intended) At least she found a harmless way to stand up for herself that DOESN'T involve violence. Plus, it reminds me of my favorite part in the book, "The Help." Muahahaha

Fucking awesome. Why would you greedily inhale food given to you by someone to whom you are mean?

What, she couldn't just DRIVE to Mississippi?

Banker steals $100,000 in an afternoon from a family that cannot afford it and is admired as a brilliant capitalist (er, hand over the bailout money when his employer goes predictably bankrupt, thank you). Twenty-something Anastasia attempts to smuggle a plant with a "street value" of $100,000 and will likely be sent…

I clicked on the linked article and apparently some kid still ate the entire cupcake even though it had an awful taste. I absolutely hate bullies, but that was hardcore.

This. This is why I detest the entire Republican party, rather than just the wingnuts.

Not long ago, you posted about how many Republicans (especially younger ones) support gay marriage.
