Comments
"Let me tell you something about Janis Ian. We were best friends in middle school. I know, right? It's so embarrassing. I don't even... Whatever. So then in eighth grade, I started going out with my first boyfriend Kyle who was totally gorgeous but then he moved to Indiana, and Janis was like, weirdly jealous of him. Like, if I would blow her off to hang out with Kyle, she'd be like, "Why didn't you call me back?" And I'd be like, "Why are you so obsessed with me?"
Also: I am crushed by this Janis Ian/Chandler Bing news, as it means that he and Lauren Graham are not dating, and I kind of love the idea of them together.
I would never get a tattoo on an airplane! OUCH!
@hortense: You are awesome with the quote!
I, too, think Lauren Graham and Matthew Perry would be a good couple.
"An editor who remains anonymous actually says: 'It's at the point now where some stars might decide to have more kids just to collect the money from their photos.'"
I don't even know how to respond to this.
That's a pretty conspiracy-theory-esque explanation from the anonymous editor. Call me naive, but I believe Angie when she says "I just want a big family". She's become a modern-day fertility idol: serene and lean, save for the expanding belly of course. I think that's kinda cool.
What does "La Cicciolina" mean in Italian? I'm sure the answer is not as interested as I'm hoping.
Richie Sambora loses so many points for that, I never want to hear another Bon Jovi song again. Ok, I still love Jon, but BAD RICHIE I hope you're proud of the example you're setting.
@dripdrop: Um, yeah, that would be fucked up. Perfect reason to have a child...
@hortense: right? Lauren Graham and Matthew Perry would be great together!
Apropos of nothing, but I wanted to put this out there as early as possible: the egg article from yesterday? About omelettes and egg sammies and eggs and eggs in everything?
You fucking dykes and your egg talk! You made me go out and get a big enormous dripping cheese/tomato omelet this morning, and I wolfed the entire thing. With hashbrowns and drippy buttery toast.
I now weigh 1.5 manatees and I am happier than ever.
Okay, I love Tina, but Ashely Dupre? Really?
@tscheese: JEALOUS! my drunk roommates ate all my eggs last night!
If stars sell pics of their kids is it b/c they hope the paps will leave them alone vs. not selling them and being stalked for trying to get the first pic of the kid? Is that how it works? Or is it strictly a money issue, which is straight up wrong.
Scott Storch is the overweight white kid from Miami trying to set up Diddy right?
@BeAgrestic: On the serious...is she losing her marbles?
@tscheese: The inventor of the Egg McMuffin DIED yesterday!!
We should all have one in his honor. A great man, indeed.
Tina Fey wants everyone on 30 Rock.
*waits for phone to ring*
@hortense: They dated before. I think he is beneath her.
What's with the age-disparagism? As long as both parties are legal, bone on!
@hortense: Omigawd!? For serious!? I might need to have a second breakfast. For, like, honor.
And pour out a McD's orange drink for my homie.
Oh yeah, and I was out of town when this Star Commenter thing began. Anyone care to explain?
@AthertonMerriweather: phew I'm not the only one like "What's going on with Tina?" Britney has great comedic timing but Dupre is um, not an actress. Maybe she'll be on MILF Island?
Cut out this 'gold band' crap. When did people that like gold become tacky? In ten years white gold and platnuim could be soooo '00s.
Sorry, but Matt Perry is MY friend with benefits. He comes into my bedroom every night at 10:30, and then again at 11:30. ...don't tell the hubby.
Tina Fey is inviting everyone to her show. It is going to be newsmakers on parade.
@BeAgrestic: Dude, get some eggs today, for serious! Don't deny yourself your eggs! If your body wants it, your body gots to have it. The incredible, edible egg!
@Det. Philangie: I know. But they looked so cute promoting the movie they just did together.
@tscheese: Yes! I saw it on CNN this morning. How weird is that?
He's gone to a place where they serve Egg McMuffins after 11 am. God speed, you brilliant man!
@Leiakat: Matthew must be very busy, since he sees me at 6 and 6:30 every evening, and then sometimes again in the middle of the night, if I'm having trouble sleeping.
@BeAgrestic: What the hell is Tina doing - putting together some kind of dream list for the show? I've heard 3 or 4 names in the past two days for people she'd "Love to have on the show"
@BeAgrestic: whoa, eggs are usually WAY to high-effort for drunk munching. You've got some pretty adept drunken roommates, there. Sorry 'bout your eggs, though.
@BeAgrestic: I was just going to type the MILF island thing! Great minds...I'm starting to think Tina needs to stop giving the sound bites for a little while...I never thought I'd say that either.
@TriedandTrue: I know, and it includes Trainwreck Spears and No Condoms Dupre.
There are these things in Hollywood, Tina, and they're called actresses.
@Leiakat: I think it's all about what looks good on your complexion. All the pics I've seen of Jamie Lynn have her looking all super-tanned and dark-eyed, and gold can look really terrific on that complexion. I mean, I can't believe I'm picking apart the seasonal profile of a Sister Spears, but there you go. Gold can be very nice.
However, I am the color of spoiled sour cream. My mom has my same coloring, and she got engaged in 1976 and my dad gave her a white gold ring, and it still looks completely smashing phenomenal on her. Maybe white gold is so 70's?
So I avoid any accessory that is too yellow*, since gold makes me look like I have the SARS.
*Except eggs. And cheese, obvs.
@tscheese: This is going to sound crazy, but the woman in the apt below mine has her own chickens because she loves eggs so much. There is no rooster (THANK GOD), but homegirl gets fresh eggs. I *could* have borrowed some of hers, but chickens aren't meant to live in apartments. It's just not right.
Calling a knocked up 16 year old girl's engagement band tacky is not so nice, mr anonymous jeweler.
And I thought stars were only having babies because they were just like US!
@tscheese: Thank god I'm not the only one who's been obsessed with eggs since that thread. And whoever recommended the Wawa Turkey & Egg White Sizzli? Delicious!
Can we stop with the DUIs? It's horrible that his daughter was in the car, but even if she weren't, someone's daughter is on the fucking road at all times. Either get a driver, call a cab, or don't drink. I have sympathy for addicts, but Christ, hire a driver and surrender your keys in a moment of clarity.
Wouldn't the stars that command the most money for photos, have the most money, and therefore not need it?
@Leiakat: Totally. Speculating about other people's engagement rings is icky and tacky. When I got engaged, some frenemy told everyone that she couldn't wait to see my ring so she could make sure her bf got her a bigger one. Whatever happened to "if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all."
$10 million might be the only thing that could convince me to want kids.
I like you Tina Fey, I think 30 Rock is a hoot, I know the writer's strike was a drag and that its hard to come back to work and all, but do you have to resort to stunt casting?
@zivah: My roommates would always make stove-top stuffing when they were obliterated. It was the weirdest damn thing. It always came out perfect, but they'd ladle it into big red Solo cups and then stir it around with the sharpest steak knives in the house--I can't remember how many times I was the sober one and had to take the knives away from them. And hand them some nice plastic spoons. And sit them down on the couch and tell them to eat their nice stuffing.
Though, it's kind of weird to read that I, tscheese, was occasionally the sober one.
@BeAgrestic: Not to ask a totally inane questions, but is it even legal to keep a chicken in an apartment? Does she let them wander around? What about the chicken poo? The mind boggles.
@hortense: It's 10:30. :( Remember "Big Daddy"?
"I'm only 4 seconds late!"
"No, sir, you're 30 minutes and 4 seconds late."
"HORSESHIT!!!"
@asylum: SERIOUSLY! Right? That thing is the SHIZ! All their breakfast sammies are great, even though they've probably been made an hour beforehand and they've been sitting under that heat lamp thing forever. Wawa is like my holy refuge, man. Seriously, they can do no wrong. Om nom nom nom nom.
