He's super popular in the Free Tibet crowd and doesn't court press unless required for a movie or because of humanitarian/religious issues he feels strongly for (plus) He seems a little arrogant— I heard he refused to do a dancing/singing audition for Chicago (minus) I like most of his movies (plus) . . .net +1 for…

THANK YOU. I realize that the people reading "Bloomberg" are not the audience for my critiques with this, but can we just lovingly tell America that it is OK to have fulfilling lives outside of their careers (whether that is with babies, spouse, friends, pets or solo hobbies) and prioritize as such. If you love your…

Yeah, I mean like ages 0-18, when part of the parenting job is taking a certain amount of lip/pushback/rebellion.

Ugh. My mom was/is a "gray zone" person. I got most of the strictly required shots as a toddler, but only the first series of MMR shots. Her excuse for not getting the second round was that I cried and cried and had a "bad reaction" to it. I asked if she meant "allergic" reaction. She said no, but I was really upset.…

Agreed. The only unconditional love that ought to exist is parents for their children. But marriages, friendships, and working relationships come with conditions of mutual respect, trust, and whatever other priorities you have.

I also thought this was describing a cultural/language enclave within the state. Get along, petits chiens.

I left facebook two years ago, after a discussion with my therapist about how I have intimacy issues (ie, not letting the right people in and wasting lots of time on the wrong people). I haven't for one minute regretted it. Occasionally I need to email people to ask them for pictures of weddings, kids, etc, but people…

It is most certainly giving bullies more power, and I take full responsibility for it. The hardest thing I did as a 12 year old was tell the bully that I didn't want to talk shit about another girl anymore. You don't want to hear a justification, but I'm sure it wouldn't make you "glad" to know that the reason I was…

feared and revered indeed. I took comfort in the fact my middle school Regina tried the same tactics in high school, and they didn't work for her. She didn't make any new friends, and still considers her underlings from middle school her "best friends" because we were the last time she had bootlicks.

I am Gretchen Weiners. Yes, in middle school I think I was much better off than the kids who get physically/verbally abused, but boy oh boy did I feel trapped and miserable in my group of friends. In middle school, "Regina" forced me into making prank phone calls, lying to my mother, talking shit about everybody, and…

Here's my tip if you have bridesmaids on a budget with different body types: tell them a color at David's Bridal. Tell them to pick any dress in said color at David's Bridal (inform them whether it should be short or long depending on formality of wedding). Tell them to wear shoes in a nude/metallic/neutral shade.…

I used to watch Kardashians and think "holy shit, Scott Disick is the douchiest human that ever walked this earth" and now, I *HANDS DOWN* think he is both one of the sincerest members of the cast, as well as one of the only compelling characters as far as emotional development from the first seasons to the latest. He…

I agree wholeheartedly with this sentiment. This is the classic problem of "hot wife ugly husband" sitcoms. I'm not sure if the national news is the best place to launch this criticism, though. Christiane Amanpour does nothing to sexxx up her look, neither does Candy Crowley, Gwen Eiffel, or Rachel Maddow. None of…

There has been a push for Jezebel writers to stop linking to the Daily Fail before, and I would like to reiterate my support of that protest. It's a gross, gross magazine, don't give them more clicks.

Amen. I love Game of Thrones, but would I love it if I didn't have someone to root for? Tyrion is the only one I consistently root for (Mother of Dragons is nice and all, but a little too perfect for an imperfect world?). I suspect we are not alone. I think for the sake of the series they've gotta keep us deep in…

The pediatricians at Yale's hospital have a softball team called "The Immunizers" so yeah . . .pro-vaxxer = your child's well-trained doctor

Agreed. This looks like many of the bad romcoms that netflix suggests for me that I watch about 30-45 minutes of before I realize I am wasting my time (I'm looking at you, Think like a Man . . .)

I had gaga's first album, genuinely enjoyed it. But when I'm having a crappy day, I youtube Katy Perry like whoa. I realize that feeling empowered by someone who once promoted faux lesbian kisses and whipped cream spewing bras is, uh, regressive? . . .but "Roar" "Part of Me" and "Firework" are great pump-up feeling…

I did try to wikipedia this before asking. . .what is a DVS?

I am grateful to ads like these, stories like the Jenny Hatch case (about a woman with downs syndrome's right to live where she pleases), and my university's disability studies program. I do not know any people with downs syndrome in my own life, so these stories/academic talks are my only exposure to the issue. My…
