Isn't Taylor Momsen 15 or something? If I left the house at 15 with that much cleavage, my mother would have grounded me and condemned me to a weekend of household chores.

@Tchotchke: I was catching up on GG last night, and there is an episode where she is sick and has no make-up, plus the extra deathly pallor makeup, and I couldn't stop thinking about how pretty she looked in spite of it because I am used to seeing her face CAKED with makeup. Why cover up fresh, dewy, 15 yo skin with pounds of the stuff?

@Spike49: I mean, she is probably well-adjusted, smart and probably a sweet girl. There's something to be said, however, for not dressing like a tart. At 22, I feel like my 50 year old mother for saying that, though.

These people will just not stop until I surrender and love them, will they? Kristen Stewart, I wanted to hate you, but you keep awesoming all over. And you have Dakota Fanning, who is a platter of adorable, so much so that I unmuted Jay Leno's insipid gabfest to watch her interview. And now, the soundtrack? Have you heard it? I really resent how much it rocks. Stupid New Moon movie. Stop chipping away at my anti-Twilight resolve.

@morninggloria: I freaking agree. I went into the whole Twilight fandom yearning for hate. YEARNING you hear? And now? Every time I see images of Kristen Stewart I gush with love and adoration. And for Dakota Fanning, who I love more for this movie (who fits the role of Jane to a T, if you wanted to know). It's wrong, and I feel dirty. I need a good Harry Potter bath, now.

@morninggloria: I was really pissed that the first movie featured one of my favorite Radiohead songs (although, strangely, it didn't wind up on the official soundtrack). Dammit, Twilight, do not ruin "15 Step"! (Thankfully, it didn't.)

@morninggloria: I watched Jay Leno, too, and although I felt I was betraying myself and everything humane in the world, I kinda had to watch Dakota Fanning. Plus, I heard that Leno's ratings were so bad that he's dragging Conan down with him, so I ultimately went through that for Conan.

And wtf? The soundtrack has St. Vincent & Bon Iver. A huge leap from the last one with (cringe) The Fray.

I want Kristen Stewart's wardrobe from this publicity tour.

I love Jessica Szohr's makeup. Very flattering and cool.

That is the best and most comfortable I have ever seen Kristen Stewart look. She's finally matching the outfit to the hair in a way that doesn't make her look like vagrant.

Aren't Lydia Hearst and Fabiola Beracasa like step-cousins or something? (I think Fabiola's mom was married to Lydia's grandfather, but I could be wrong). It kind of makes your comment funnier, IMO.

Dysfunction and/or splits in gay relationships always leave me feeling very conflicted and distressed.

Growing up in the LGBT community (because of my lesbian mother), I always felt like there was this unspoken pressure to always put on the best front for any aspect of relationships, family, and behaviour, as if any conflict within your personal interactions and actions could cast shame on the gay community as a whole. Rarely did anyone say explicitly to my mother, "If you air your drama with your girlfriend to the public, you are doing your peers a disservice", but I could see she felt like she had to keep any 'negative' emotions to herself, lest she be responsible for someone thinking poorly of homosexuals overall.

In a similar vein, I was never comfortable talking about problems at home, because I felt as if there would be immediate judgment--well, no wonder your child is doing poorly in school...look at the home she's being reared in.

It's stupid. I KNOW it's stupid, in part of my brain. It boils down to my own selfishness, really--I don't want to have to defend the LGBT community from pinheads. But the same cultural meme that makes it known that same-sex PDA is unacceptable, even when heterosexual public affection isn't, and a delinquent child is caused by being raised by homosexual men, not because those men are just lousy parents overall, is the same one that makes me wince when I see a story like Rosie and her wife's. I want them to work it out, selfishly, so I don't have to deal with anyone's I told you so's. #rosieodonnell

@Cafezinha: I, too was raised in an LGBT household, and instead of even giving us a chance to share our family experience, and things my sister and I did (which was to speak up and be generally sassy) was punished with a peer saying, "watch it, or you'll end up like your mother." It's a hard life, sometimes, but well worth the love and and affection that parents who really love each other can give. #rosieodonnell

@Cafezinha: This really struck a chord with me, thank you for sharing. Writers like Jan Moir (look up the article she wrote for the Daily Mail last week) offer good reason for this "false front" portrayed by LGBT people & their families facing problems. A gay celebrity can't even die of natural causes without highly speculative BS being extrapolated onto the entire LGBT community, so I guess this has become an ingrained cultural response to homophobic analysis in mainstream media. #rosieodonnell

@Cafezinha: Oh, I totally understand. I'm gay, and I do feel tremendous pressure to have a really super healthy relationship with my girl. But the truth is that we fight, and bicker, and are occasionally petty with each other. Just like everyone else, I imagine.

But even my (well meaning) friends say things like "Oh, you guys are so cute. You're the perfect couple!". Which is totally sweet, but not accurate, of course. We're just humans. And we love each other, and I hope we're together forever, but what if we aren't?

I do worry about perceptions. Plus, of course my parents think this is "just a phase" so I'm determined to prove them wrong too. Instead of, you know, just living my life. #rosieodonnell
