Pop-girl stan culture is really not that different from sports team allegiances or various "geek" fandoms that are enamored with Star Wars, comic books, Dr. Who, etc. It's not that we don't have lives, it's that we feel like these stars are apart of our lives and thus, we feel like we have a vested interest in them. …

Yes, it's a snobbery thing, but it's more of a meritocratic snobbery, rather than a classist one. Like Wendy said, we know how Beyonce came to prominence, and ditto for Kim. In terms of celebrity, I don't think it's wrong to have more respect for a bonafide entertainer than for someone like Kim. That's the way it…

Well, it's complicated, but in a nutshell, her fans don't want her to attend the wedding because Kim is tacky, and they don't like the idea of their fave being "forced" to associate with Kim for the sake of being polite. Think of it as being similar to Anna Wintour having to make nice with Kim, if she wants Kanye to…

Wendy's like that broken clock that's right at least twice a day.

Right, because me, a black woman, calling a particular black man an ass-backwards clown is indicative of internalized racism. Tell me something, grand logician, if I call Justice Thomas an ass-backwards clown, would that also be racist, or is that your critical thinking skills only escape you when a black woman…

Yes, me and my black, racist self.

Why would Southern racists be seething over some ass-backwards clown who thinks that he can reappropriate the Confederate flag? If anything, I'd think they'd be laughing at him and any unsuspecting black youths running around in his "Yeezus" garb, thinking that wearing symbols of their own oppression is cute.

LOL @ anyone paying Stuart Weitzman prices for those basic ass wedges!

I don't know how price conscious you are or how bent you are on polka dot print, but if you're looking for a striking, navy and white, printed pant, then perhaps you might want to consider the Gap's window pane print, slim cropped pants. I have a pair and always get compliments when I wear them, and at full price,…

I don't disagree with Kate's age being a factor. I'm not saying that there aren't naturally skinny people, but I just tire of the genetic lottery explanation being the default meme when a rich, young woman loses weight quickly after pregnancy, when in reality it's not uncommon for a woman of her status to shed…

I don't disagree with you at all. She and her sister are athletic and supposedly follow a specific diet plan. Kate never "blew up" in the first place, which is why, to me, anyway, it shouldn't be shocking that she's seemingly reverted back to her pre-pregnancy weight. I was responding to comments that alleged that…

More like someone who watched what they ate during pregnancy and didn't gain much to begin with.

Yeah, I think she should do a cost benefit analysis. So, let's say she loses the weight and then regains it over time. She'll still have that money from when they paid her to lose it the first time.

I agree with most of this. Lolo's publicity outweighs her athletic achievements. Outside of track and field enthusiasts, the general public does not care about indoor titles. T&F's profile is at it's peak during the Olympics, and outside of that, the general public only cares about world championship races won at…

On the contrary, there is a black woman who gets away with Miley schtick on the daily. Her name is Rihanna. I think that's why Miley doesn't bother me quite in the way she should given my race (black) and lack of ignorance. If I truly felt like she was getting away with something that a black woman could never get…

Many of us would be saying the same thing if Hagman's kin or one of the relatives of the other deceased TV legends/veterans had griped to the AP, like Adam Klugman. If the five honorees who got special tributes were all alive and being given a special Emmy for their bodies of work/ pop cultural impact, we'd all be…

Google "death drop dance"

The Emmys are supposed to be about bodies of work. Criticizing Monteith's body of work isn't tacky, especially when you consider that Monteith not only did not win any Emmys, he was never even nominated for one, and I think in this case, respect for elders should trump respect some young actor.

The only thing I disagreed with in Adam Klugman's letter was him stating the obvious about how Monteith died. That was unnecessary, but there's nothing wrong with stating that other obvious fact, which is that Monteith's resume and pop culture impact paled in comparison to Klugman's and Hagman's. No one's obligated to…

Judging Rihanna for supposedly not knowing that keeping "exotic monkeys" as pets IS WRONG. . .
