I was bored from the beginning. Not to mention embarrassed by your punctuation and grammar. I got your point that Charlie beat up a couple of porn stars and some actresses so technically he beat up some famous women doesn't address my larger point that if he had done that to say Nicole Kidman or Julianne Moore he wouldn't have been forgiven so quickly.
1. I really hope there is a backlash against Nicki. There are way too many over top singers pulling publicity stunts. Enough already.
2. Tom Hardy and Chris Nolan
3. Halle Berry and I have no clue.

You don't need an objective way. Just ask people who Rihanna is and then ask them who Kelly Preston is. Watch how many people can't even pick Kelly out of a line-up and she's more famous now then she was back then.
"From what you say, it sounds like this woman isn't making good health choices -- but I'd wonder if she's doing the best she can."
She isn't and I never made any generalizations. I also never said there weren't people who legitimately need medication. But all you have to do is look at television to see the million pharmaceutical ads selling medicine no one even knew they needed and promising to "cure" shit that no one had 10 years ago to see how lax we've become about taking pills for everything. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that we're over medicated and everything is diagnosed as a condition so everyone gets a pill is what we've been accustomed to as treatment. That has nothing to do with people who legitimately need medication and everything to do with the poor lifestyle choices we make in regards to our health. And it isn't just an issue of "her body her call." She can barely drive or move around anymore and depends heavily on my sister and her husband for care and travel. She's making choices that directly effect everyone in her life. It's nice to think she's only hurting herself but she isn't. Her love of pleasure is what got her in the situation in the first place. This whole "if it feels good, do it" attitude is such bullshit. It's very selfish to burden those you love just because you don't want to put down the cigarettes and eat a salad every once in a while.
Yes, I think Adele and Bonnie Raitt who performed with Alicia Keyes are wonderful examples of how you don't have to do the gimmicky over the top crap to get some recognition.
Actually Kelly Preston wasn't "famous" in the true sense of the word. She was an actress but not really famous. And yes, if Rihanna wasn't famous or was Kayla Pratt, Keke Palmer or some other black actress that was hardly known, no one would be talking about this.
I'm so sick of these women trying to out fame-whore each other with these gimmicky, publicity stunt performances. Just make some good music and we'll pay attention.
Pretty famous isn't what Rihanna is. She mega famous, probably more famous than Chris Brown. I still don't remember reading any anti-Charlie Sheen stories on Gawker.
I was expecting him to be insufferable but I liked his speech. How can you hate a guy who thanks his parents?
This was absolutely lovely. She didn't try to imitate Whitney and put her own spin on it. Great job Jennifer!
Welcome to the world of the overly medicated, over prescribed, instant gratification society. They give you a pill for every little thing. My sister's mother-in-law is one of those people who would rather go to a doctor to get a prescription rather than do a lot of preventive care things. She still smokes a pack a day, eats fatty greasy foods and drinks hard liquor even though she has diabetes and survived colon cancer. She also refuses to exercise and is now close to 300 pounds. They told her that if she kept living the way she's living they're going to have to cut off her leg. She went to another doctor and they gave her the medication for restless leg syndrome. Now she thinks she's all better.
I'm so in love with Bonnie Raitt. Musicians like her are very rare these days. She was a traveling musician for years before she hit the big time and got the recognition she deserved.
Anyone who begins a response with "Ugh" is immediately discredited. Besides, I said I love her. I've just heard her sound better.
Eh, I love her but I've heard her sound better. For some reason I wish she would have done an acapella version of this song. I also prefer her with redder hair. The lightened blonde look ages her.
RHWOA was entertaining. I enjoyed seeing them at the orphanage in Africa. #crosstalk
"..and frankly, the idea that any person can violently abuse someone else and maintain a thriving career in the entertainment industry is embarrassing. (See also: Charlie Sheen.)"
Yet I don't remember anyone calling for a boycott of CBS or any articles calling for Sheen to be fired from "Two and Half Men" after his third domestic violence incident. Let's face it, the only reason people are still talking about this is because Rihanna is also famous. If she were just your average girl, no one would be saying a word right now. Race is also probably playing a factor.
You should be looking forward to seeing the reaction to your article, not avoiding toxic commenters.
Ugh. So they're going to have bunch of celebrity guest writers and they want us to kiss their asses? Why not just turn off the comments completely? If they don't want to hear people's criticism just shut down the comments section. And stories about donkey jizz are supposed to be for the most intelligent of the audience? #crosstalk
Okay, so I went and found the post. I also found this comment where a person e-mailed and asked him why created a post specifically to bait people into being banned. He replied that Gawker has too many commenters and they are thinning out the herd. Wouldn't they rather have too many commenters rather than too few?
He came to Crosstalk and challenged people to say something that would get them banned? Odd. Did he just want to get rid of them? #crosstalk
Normally I'm not that upset when a celebrity passes away but this one has me kind of emotional. She was so supremely talented. The first cassette tape my parents bought me as a kid was The Bodyguard Soundtrack. I was really hoping she could get it together and make a comeback. RIP Whitney.
