yes, but that's also the choice you make when you elect to work for an imdividual versus a corporate entity with HR. There are plenty of people willing to make that sacrifice for so-called glamour professions; doesn't make it any less of a job. there are shitty people everywhere and some of them are bosses and that's…

If you're a hollywood personal assistant? Yeah, there's almost no limit to your hours or the crazy things you need to do. Depends on the boss. (Full disclosure: I was one, so I'm speaking from my own experience as well as the experiences of friends/colleagues in this community). I can't speak to all other forms of…

Not a whole lot more if anything, considering I did this work for nearly 3 years. It really depends on who you are working for. It sounds like this person worked in some capacity for someone running a production company alongside similarly positioned coworkers, and I'd bet it was not great pay.

Yeah. So your boss confided in you at times, yelled at you at other times, made you do things you didn't want for money and occasionally the lines of friendliness blurred with business? Congratulations, you have a job.

Apparently "paid hollywood friend" = the latest click bait term for "assistant."

oh my god please make it stop. PLEASE MAKE KNOWLESGATE STOP. I can't take the internets! i can't!

not necessarily true at all. think about the duke university crap. a lot of top-tier schools attract well-moneyed kids who can buy their way into settlements and stuff before it becomes an investigation (at best....at worst, victims without such privileges are intimidated by progeny of powerful families and never…

all things aside...how? how did they manage this physics-wise?

Dating powerful older rich dudes when you are trying to make it in Hollywood = doesn't mean you're actually into them. Similarly, being a boy who dates powerful older dudes for the same reason doesn't make you gay.

so don't want to body snark but holy FUCK, tara reid does not look well.

Call me a prude...but there are certain things I didn't hear from my mom that I didn't want to hear and boundary-wise don't think would have been fully appropriate. I have a healthy relationship with all that stuff thanks to a good school district, college education and parents who raised me with open minds. But I…

Yes...I feel that on a boat in an attempt to sail across the ocean, the rule of thumb should be that if you cannot swim you should likely not be doing it.

that's a good question. I'm not positive what the answer would be in this case, but generally when at sea people are subject to the federal laws of whatever "flag state" their vessel is registered in - ie, if the boat was registered in the US it would fall under US jurisdiction, and if in Mexico it would fall under…

i feel like there's a fine line between stupidity and negligence, and it's usually a bad consequence. if the baby had died of dehydration, they 100% would be facing criminal negligence and manslaughter charges. just because nobody is dead doesn't mean their behavior wasn't risky and endangering.

I feel like being on a boat with a baby suffering from salmonella would have been partial punishment in and of itself.

everything about this man and the evidence in this case makes me think he's a horrible, attention-craving baby who is plainly guilty of murder and deserves to go away for a long long time. How he has behaved in court even feels insulting and self-indulgent. Boo to oscar.

not gonna lie, on the cuteness scale i think baby prince rates about a 6. of course he's cute, he's a baby, but nothing mega special. i've seen cuter.

my Major Ex Boyfriend (you know, that one ex you've got in your ex arsenal that destroyed your heart and is responsible for all your relationship hangups thereafter) cheated on me and then dumped me to move in with the girl he'd cheated on me with.

I think Wadler is funny, but still not sure why people hate on spin classes so much. it's one specific way to exercise that happens to work for a certain type of person. there are literally hundreds of ways to stay fit, so if it's not for you, just move on and find something else. i fail to see how people who take…

just saying: colbert's tweet is pretty ridic. doesn't help him any to get defensive and throw the show's feed under the bus like that. bad for biz too. he should have simply issued an apology and indicated the difference in feeds, not made it seem as though he was unaware that @colberreport exists and directly linked…
