As sad as it made me, I still bought that album on paypal! I'mma die-hard Queen Bee fan.

I agree, creating beef makes headlines. Lil Kim did the same thing with Nicki Minaj. It does suck to see someone new basically borrowing your style and making bank off it, so the orginators cry foul when the media asks them about it.

I had to stop and look at it for a minute to realize what was going on. I agree, definitely would have been more badass if she were birthing something out of her head, a la Zeus.

Hearted, because I have a similar fear of mirrors at night thanks to grade school sleepovers and daring each other to do "bloody mary" in the bathroom. Those eyes are haunting.

I used to read Teen magazine when I was 13-14, because 17 was too mature for me according to my mother. It was a squeaky-clean mag that featured fashion, and also had the embarrassing stories section (why does everyone's tampons fall out during gym class?), but I think they did a better job of really enforcing the…

Our writing (and reading comprehension, and math, and everything else) sucks because our school system sucks :/

NYC is absolutely the most petty. you think kicking Zarin off would've helped in that area, but noooo. I'll probably still watch, just to see Sonja jump in the pool topless.

Honestly, I think they're just sick of her bullshit. "Fabulicious" and the dumb comments she made about her costars were the straw that broke the camel's back.

I wrote the same comment, but apparently using "disinterested" to mean "lack of interest" is back in vogue now.

I like all of the series, except NYC. I DVRed the first episode of the new season the other night and it was painful to watch. They dropped Alex but kept awful LuAnn and equally awful Ramona. I used to feel bad for R, but she seems to really have gone off the deep end.

I thought the S3 reunion was taped after both S3 and S4 had wrapped, but I could be wrong.

Love how the people who most often say they believe in the Constitution are all about stomping all over it whenever it suits their needs. I do NOT want my taxpayer money funding this religious bullshit. How does this even happen?

So sickening. I feel bad for anyone who seriously reads this crap after age 17.

And I'm glad you called me on it, because now I'm browsing through histories of other tricky words. I got caught up on the Janus-word "peruse" the other day. Language is crazy but I love it.

I'm sorry, but as someone's who's suffered with an ED over the years, something like this can be very triggering. If it were me, I'm sure I'd have feelings of "That's not how I really look, I guess how I look isn't good enough to be on the cover?" SO FUCKED UP. If you're going to false empathy on the eating disorder…

Right? As if regular bullying wasn't bad enough. My younger cousin experienced some cyber bullying from kids at her school and it's made her school life significantly more difficult. I think opening up the doors for kids of all ages to use FB is a bad idea. If anything, they should be working on ways to keep younger…

True, I just brushed up on the history of the word. I have a vivid memory of a writing teacher circling my use of "disinterested" in a creative writing piece with a note telling me "a judge is disinterested, a bored person is uninterested." It's just stuck with me.

I agree, but please see the comment I just posted. ^

Don't get me wrong, I love that language is ever-evolving, and I have a true appreciation for slang words and their derivations, but changing the meaning of a word because some people couldn't be bothered to know the actual meaning kinda gets my goat.

Agreed. I don't need to see any 12 year old buttcheeks hanging out of anyone's shorts. I feel similarly about dress codes that enforce kids not to wear baggy pants that shows their undershorts. Nobody wants to see that!
