She’s an A-lister who I almost never see in the tabloids and lives a relatively quiet private life. I don’t get where you get “attention whore” from that, especially compared to the average celebrity (including those this site deems worthy of near-worship.)

I don’t get it either. She seems like a really nice person and she’s a talented actress.

She can't do anything without attracting hate. I still don't get why.

Maybe I’m missing something, but I don’t get the Anne Hathaway hate. I would have done the same in her situation. I imagine she felt really violated, but she used it to empower herself and screw over the photographer. Well-played.

You seem angry.

Well the first step is to support more diversity for writers who aren’t white to right about characters who aren’t white.

I don’t live in the US — I didn’t realize there was no OTC BC until this point! Seems incredibly archaic.

Oh dear lord, this was painful to listen to. (Doesn’t she have onstage monitors? Major pitch issues.)

Yep. I love how women are so down to support women unless its for “stupid” girly things. I would never do a pageant but those women work fucking hard and all the comments on this article are pretty cold. Jezebel is having a real case of “cool girl/better feminist” attitude with everyone making fun of her for being…

Thank you! This must be terrible for her. It may not be the greatest injustice in the history of the world, but it was everything to her. She is not overreacting, IMO. It may not be a dream that makes sense to me, but it was her dream. If I worked that hard for something, believed I had achieved my goal, and then had…

Some countries take these pageants extremely seriously. They train these girls for years, like Olympic athletes. The emotional investment is huge. The team behind them makes sure they don’t forget everything that is being done just so they win. All the money that is spent on them. The pressure is huge. It’s their time…

I don't know if there was any good way to handle this screwup. I can understand that Miss Columbia is hurting. She must have spent years working to achieve this goal and it is terrible to think you won and have it turned out you didn't.

I came here to say exactly that. It’s so funny reading all the non-UK folks shocked posts and all us UK folks being completely unphased (with a few mean jokes at Manchester’s expense for being all northern and Manchester).

I love that all the Brits are here to comment and that comment is:

Notice how calm the police are. If this was in the states they would be shooting someone

But were they this drunk?

No because they are Northern. Nobody gets that cross in the Midlands.

Jiji!

Best/worst New Years broadcast ever is Jamie Kennedy’s misbegotten trainwreck from 2012. It’s painful.
