I’m starting to get the sense Blake Lively is being aggressively marketed and sold to me. I really, really, really need to know how awesome and smart she is.

Gotta love how Britney Spears has been under conservatorship for 13 years while Charlie Sheen, Johnny Depp and Kanye West (amongst many other examples) were never even close to getting the same treatment.

I’m sorry but they don’t appear to be the exact shade of the rest of your face?? It looks like a bad photoshop job. Your face is pink toned, your foundation is yellow-toned. I think if you had corrected that and maybe did a darker tone on the eyes it might have looked more balanced

Oh dear lord.

Let’s do Harry and Meghan the courtesy of leaving them alone as they’ve asked, and focus on the more gossipy, salacious royal story: that Princess Charlene of Monaco seems to be refusing to return from South Africa after Prince Albert has been named in a paternity case for the third time in their 10 year marriage.

How dare she not visit her local library and make sure that a town fair and ball have no problematic history before attending!

Stop. Bitching. About. Ellie. Kemper.

This Ellie Kemper thing confuses me. She participated in an event sponsored by a group that had changed it uglier practices before she was born and yet she has to apologize for what was most likely a family commitment in wealthy society? Give me a second...I heard on the radio that this equates to someone apologizing…

Wow, you guys are really doubling down on trying to make this huge nothingburger a thing, aren’t you?

I firmly believe that the only people who felt that an apology was even necessary were the least deserving of one. 

I’m in the metro DC area. The number of businesses that send around advertising that has the Christian fish on it astonishes me. I find it extremely off-putting. I don’t care about your religion if I want to buy car parts, I just want to buy car parts. Don’t be shoving your religion at me. I don’t care about yours and…

It’s that way here in Nashville.  If a business has a “Christian fish” on it, that tells me to avoid going there.

Eh the weird donation suggestion makes it even more fitting for a Pride month story. They made a pretty cookie and posted a “supportive” message. They’re not bigots but not activists either, not tracking the issues enough to know who could use monetary support. They’re not assholes but they’re also not particularly…

Don’t ask me why I bothered, but I believe I found the answer based on a review of the wiki article about the group. They never changed the name of the Veiled Prophet, the Veiled Prophet Organization, the Veiled Prophet Ball, or the Queen of the Veiled Prophet, all of which are done each December. They only changed…

Yeah, isn’t this kinda like saying Kermit the Frog is a racist because there were confederate flags at some random Southern state fair in “The Muppet Movie”?

It looks like the only link between her and the veiled prophet origin of the event was a Post-Dispatch article in 1999 (during Kemper’s Freshman year in college) that someone tweeted, using the term “Veiled Prophet” to describe Kemper, the event, and the organization when Tonja’s article itself acknowledges that the…

We really doing this? Really? I mean we have Texas trying to take away the right to vote for anyone that isn’t white, actually seasons their food and can clap on the 2 & 4 and this is what you’re concerned with? I am all for multi-tasking but I am also for priorities and this ain’t it. Unless you have footage of her…

Umm... no... the headline should probably read “white girl went to a debutante ball when she was a teenager and was crowned princess by the organization that sponsored it which was linked to racism that the white girl likely knew nothing about”. I really hope she doesn’t get dragged through the mud for this shit.

Lol, what?

Look, if we start doing “Famous person took part in institution that turned out to be hella racist” takes we’re going to be here forever because, spoiler alert, most white institutions in America are hella racist.
