Jezebel: Dalai Lama

Someone Willing To Pay An Excess of $32,000 To Meet Robert Pattinson

Erin Gloria Ryan — Thu, 25 Nov 2010 15:00:00 EST

A charity auction site is also offering the chance to meet the Dalai Lama, but the highest bid on that honor is a mere $5,000. We can therefore conclude that Robert Pattinson is six times better than His Holiness. More »

Gisele And Tom Share An Awkward Car Ride

Jenna Sauers — Thu, 07 Oct 2010 11:45:00 EDT

After Tom Brady's game on Monday night, maybe-cheating Gisele Bündchen called shotgun for the ride home while he was relegated to the back seat. (They have a driver.) Clearly we can infer that she is a castrating Brazilian super-harpy. [People]

Ann Curry Baby-Talks The Dalai Lama

Jessica Coen — Thu, 20 May 2010 09:20:00 EDT

The Dalai Lama had his first live interview ever on the Today Show this morning. Unfortunately the momentous occasion was guided by Ann Curry, who treated the 75-year-old like a very adorable, very holy infant. More »

After some pointless blather about terrorism and economic recovery during today's White House Press Briefing, Robert Gibbs addressed the question weighing most heavily on Americans' minds: Will the State of the Union preempt Lost's 3-hour season premiere?

This Is What A Feminist Looks Like

Katy Kelleher — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 09:20:00 EDT

"I call myself a feminist. Isn't that what you call someone who fights for women's rights?" said the Dalai Lama to an audience in Memphis yesterday. "We all come from the same mother. That creates the basis for compassion." [FeministLawProfessors] More »

The Dalai Lama said yesterday that he may...

Margaret Hartmann — Mon, 24 Nov 2008 18:15:00 EST

The Dalai Lama said yesterday that he may choose a young girl to be his successor and indicated that he's ready to pass his political role on to Tibetans in exile. The 73-year-old monk embraced pro-democracy Chinese activist Chin Jin in front of reporters and said he may pick his successor before he passes away. His statements sent a message that he wants to block the Chinese from picking up the next Dalai Lama. "The future of the Dalai Lama institution will be decided by the people," he said. "If they don't want it, it should cease to exist." [Times of India] More »

Dalai "Clique" Scores Major Date To Chinese Party!

Moe — Fri, 25 Apr 2008 10:00:00 EDT

Here's a ray of sunshine to anyone who ever wondered if their massive personal reserves of good karma were never going to amount to anything: the Dalai Lama just scored a meeting with the government that excommunicated him in 1959! Oh sure, and the cops who killed that nice unarmed electrician the day before his wedding got acquitted, Mugabe is doing everything in his power to undermine the will of his electorate and McCain wants to cut taxes, but sometimes you just gotta ignore the haters and say to yourself, "It's Friday, y'all! And guess who's going to China? The DALAI FUCKIN LAMA." Megan and I discuss what the Dalai Lama was like in high school, and the accuracy of the Hillary as Tracy Flick meme, ATJ. More »

Who Are All These China Haters And Where Did They Learn All Their Death Defying-Moves?

So...China. Like, oy, right? Yesterday San Francisco rained on the protesters' plan to rain on the Olympic torch relay, but so many questions remain. Where did all these angry Crouching Tiger bridge scaling people come from? Isn't Tibet a kind of nineties cause? Are the protesters just holdovers from the anti-WTO movement who somehow made the massive logical leap from "thinking globalization is evil bc Starbucks" to "thinking globalization is evil bc lead toys and monk beating"? Who are the mysterious men in blue? And who beats up on the torch bearer in the wheelchair? And if even the Chinese press is covering the wheelchair thing, and the Dalai Lama himself is saying he's all in favor of the Olympics...could the whole thing be a sinister inside job? Megan and I ask each other these questions and more with occasional pauses to Google answers for answers after the jump. More »

Is This Goodbye, Hillary?

Moe — Fri, 21 Mar 2008 18:40:40 EDT

Have you been wondering, like, where the hell has Hillary gone? What with all the gubernatorial humping and the Bible thumping and the AIDS conspiracy theorizing and the grandmother/bus/throwundering and the fifth anniversary of the war and the "meh" reaction to the public unveiling of her schedule for the entirety of the nineties, you'd think she had, like, left the race! Well, she kind of has. Her own people are giving her a 10% shot at winning the primary. "The notion of the Democratic contest being a dramatic cliffhanger is a game of make-believe." [Politico]

Bill Richardson Loves The Muslimy Muslim From Muslimstan

Moe — Fri, 21 Mar 2008 10:00:00 EDT

Hey look! It turns out that whole time Bill Richardson was poking little rhetorical holes in Barack Obama's record, he was actually in the back of his mind thinking, "Wow, America, if you listen to all this "experience" bullshit, you're spoiling a ONCE-IN-A-LIFETIME CHANCE." A once-in-a-lifetime chance to elect a Hamas loving homicide bomber lover maybe! Too bad those imprudently curious State Department heroes got found out before they could find enough evidence to put Barack Obama on the Terror Watch List. All that and Meghan McCain's tramp stamp, killer stingrays, why you shouldn't date investment bankers not that you would, and the one lady Hillary Clinton really needs to start taking fashion tips from, with me and Glamocracy's Megan Carpentier after the jump. We dangle participles with impunity, but that is typical of white people. More »

Dr. McWho? Donna Karan's Heart Space Belongs To Marcus Welby, M.D.

Jennifer — Tue, 29 May 2007 17:12:38 EDT

Donna Karan is the Huffington Post's new health care blogger. This makes total sense given the way that, as we discussed before, health care is sort of like fashion, what with the pharmaceutical companies having to change the makeup of their antidepressants every so often, sorta like hemlines and whatnot! But no, seriously, Donna Karan writing about health care is just, well, kinda ludicrous: More »
