I've never been someone who laughed when people fell down in real life or on TV, but there's something about Wipeout that cracks me up. Maybe it's because everything's covered in nerf and trampolines and they're above pools of water to fall into. Since nobody's getting hurt, I can actually laugh at the falls. After

I watched the about saving the gulf and E! has the wrong link posted. If you want to sign the petition demanding the government fully fund a restoration of the gulf coast, go to

@real_recognize_real: New Yorkers aren't real Americans. They're a figment of the liberal, gotcha-journalism-practicing media's imagination.

@lemdi: And if Alaska is the ear, she is the ear wax blocking the sound of reason from entering the state. Youbetcha.

Yeah, and how about "doesn't it stab you in the heart, as it does ours throughout the heartland?" You understand what she's saying and how she's all - see what I did there? - with the heart/heartland thing. But are they all sharing one heart in the heartland?

@gennerator: One link didn't work. But the brand is Freya - you can google it. Super-cute

@Rooo sez BISH PLZ: I do like the little Crocs flats. He just had the big cloggy ones. He wasn't recommending them for the orthotics and we actually didn't talk about ankle support. I'm also a size 12, and have been so since I was 12 years old, so I've been in shoe shopping hell most of my life. This is just one

@The Bitter Librarian: Right, if you somehow survive through the gauntlet of fat-hating to triumphantly be "larger" and a model, you have transcended the roly-poly riff raff and have obtained fabulousness. But the felds are still the deciders.

This is timely. I just about cried in the Podiatrist's office yesterday afternoon when my new orthotics wouldn't fit in any of the shoes I brought in and he told me I'd have to buy new shoes that would fit them and I was picturing some ginormous white, puffy, granny sneaker. He has a waiting room full of Crocs for

I think it's a bit weird that Lagerfeld and Roitfeld (you know, the felds) telling her not to lose weight is supposed to be a comfort. I mean it would be OK if she lost weight, right? It just seems that she's being made into the symbol for plus models or plus women, when, hopefully, what we want is the end of

Gwyneth has "fuzzy nap zones"?" You'd think she'd have better wax jobs than that.

Put all stock of the same item IN THE SAME PLACE. I've been in stores where they put half the stock of a particular style top one place and the other half somewhere else, just to catch people's eye in another location, I guess. But if I'm looking for my size, then I've gotta go all over the store searching for the

@A Small Turnip: I agree and was wanting at least to see the statistic of percentage of false claims in the post above. At best, the whole post would have been framed around that statistic and not the sensational story itself.

@HotelDieu: That is the start of a dream dinner party guest list.

Nina Flowers, is that you?
