If that's so, Hillary still gets hell for not getting more work done: there's a certain segment that bitched about her hair when she was in Africa trying to get people to stop using rape as a tool of war. Seriously...

The point is not to disappear from and be completely devalued by a public who used to shower you with love. It's easy for us to say that there is no point, having never been in that position. But I think it was Anita Loos who said beauty is to women as money is to men. Try telling someone who used to fly private jet…

If the biggest value your public has placed on you is your looks, you'll probably fight tooth and nail to keep that. And don't think that people will be less cruel to great beauties who "age naturally": Liz Taylor gained weight as she got older, and people were merciless. And paparazzi photos of Sharon Stone and other…

Nancy Pelosi gets grief from many folks because she's had some work done, while Hillary Clinton gets grief from many of the same folks because she hasn't had work done.

Unfortunately, his waiting 15 years seriously compromises his case - as it becomes largely he said/he said. No criminal complaint was made, no rape kit was done, and corroborating witnesses will be difficult to find (even if he knew all of their names). If we live in a land where one is innocent until proven guilty,…

Sorry, I read it as though you were saying that she didm't have a life because she has all her TiVos and thoughts of her past life as a panther. I guess you just think she's kooky, which is fine by me. I tend to think when one reaches a certain age, one feels freer to speak one's mind - which I find refreshing, as…

If part of her life is BEING on TV, and readers have put her on the New York Times' bestseller's list 29 times, I think Miss Collins has quite life...ESPECIALLY for someone her age.

Sorry, I lived in the UK and never heard it...and was married to a Brit. I guess it just never came up in conversation...

It's irreverent, baby...pure irreverence. And I love it: M&Ms meets Chanel's double C's.

Sorry, I love this dress more than what she wore to the Oscars (which was safe - because the photo of her winning an Oscar is the one that's going to follow her for the rest of her life). This riot of colors works SO well on dark skin - and its outrageous palate balanced with her streamlined styling? Perfection. She…

Really? I love that dress so much, I had to look up who did it. It's Chanel, and while I'm normally nonplussed by Lagerfeld's work, I LOVE this on her: it's one of those dresses that works best with dark skin, which is why it looks better on her than it did on the runway model.

But LOVING her Chanel! Normally, I'm not impressed by Lagerfeld's work - but this is stunning, and the colors look gorgeous on her. Splendid.

Some sayings don't change, even though the currency and times change: we still say "I don't have a pot to piss in"...even though we've long stopped using pots (and the French still will say "I don't even have one franc", and the Brits say "in for a penny, in for a pound" though they don't really say penny anymore).

In the spirit of not lumping the Scandinavians together, my goddaughter is Danish...and the Danes' English, in my experience, surpasses even the Swedes'. So point taken.

As a godfather to a Scandi kid, I can say that their English comprehension is pretty good by eight (and fluent by ten): other than kids shows, all non-Scandi TV is subtitled rather than dubbed, which means that they get used to hearing English quite early (unlike French and German kids, whose television is all…

Willie has a business degree, so he's not dumb about protecting his brand: if he didn't watch the interview to make sure that he wasn't edited out of context, you can bet his PR agent did. And no one's complained about being edited out of context.

Are you talking about Phil's original interview or Willie's interview? Willie's interviews on CNN is pretty straight-forward. Please clarify, as the Robertsons don't seem to be complaining about being taken out of context...

It's whining when the interview subject has not claimed to be misquoted. In other words, you're upset that the journalist wrote what Phil Robertson actually said. Robertson has been honorable enough not to blame the journalist. Too bad the same can't be said for you.

Look, the interview was for GQ. Duck Dynasty's media handlers knew very well what the magazine was. And Robertson had the option of not commenting on gays and the Jim Crow-era South. I haven't heard Robertson saying that he was misquoted, either.

The show, like Paula Deen's (which was also in decline ratings-wise), has run its course. Phil Robertson's initial comments were not intended to gin up controversy, but now that the damage has been done, the son is doubling down in order to get viewers to rally around. Again, his views on homosexuality is no surprise.…
