"I believed then and I believe now that marriage should be a legally recognized sacrament between a man and a woman. If that makes me a bigot, so is Barack Obama."
whoa whoa whoa, miss prejean back the truck up. legally recognized sacrament? sacrament = church, legal = state. never the twain shall meet. theres that pesky little thing called the first amendment of the us constitution.
although i agree with the second part of her statement (i cant believe i just wrote that). obama has a virtually identical position on gay marriage. just because he doesn't sound the moral panic alarm or scream at the hysterical pitch of miss prejean, he has no intention of repealing doma in the near future and has defended marriage as an exclusively heterosexual institution. its not so simple as a red state/blue state division. there are plenty of anti-gay rights democrats. #carrieprejean
@mordicai: Also, marriage is only a sacrament for Catholics and Orthodox Christians. Perhaps Prejean is Catholic, but she has been speaking at mainly fundamentalist Christian churches. It would be really disappointing if, in addition to being being bigoted, she was basing her beliefs on mistaken interpretation of Church doctrine. #carrieprejean
Carrie Prejean is just like Barack Obama, except Barack Obama doesn't have fake tits or a masturbation tape. And he doesn't refuse to show up for work and get fired for sucking. #carrieprejean
@morninggloria: That you know of....I doubt he does, but as my physic teacher in HS was fond of saying "the absence of proof is not proof of absence". #carrieprejean
@whats_in_a_name: See Glenn Beck and how he raped and murdered that poor girl back in 1990. Why won't he show the evidence that proves his innocence?! #carrieprejean
@mfnher: You're using the fictional raping of a young girl as political fun? That's fucked up. Rape isn't generic violence like drunk driving or murder. It's gender violence, overwhelmingly misogynistic.
There are a slew of ways to go after Glen Beck without pushing the tired idea that it's fine to push misogynistic violence as entertainment or to score cheap points. It just trivializes it. #carrieprejean
Obama's bigotry doesn't make your bigotry okay, Carrie. As my mom is fond of saying, "We're not talking about him; we're talking about you." #carrieprejean
I'm interested that apparently Trump agrees that there are less attractive Miss USA contestants. Isn't "outrageously attractive" kind of a universal attribute among those women? #carrieprejean
@yvanehtnioj: You mean pageant contestants are judged on their looks? Did I stick my finger in a light socket? Because I'm literally shocked. #carrieprejean
@CherriSpryte: Well sure, but this is Trump we're talking about here. Excessive makeup, hair dye, surgical alterations and all that other baggage seems to be his cuppa. #carrieprejean
British Vogue used to do articles like this all the time about models of interest back in the 90s. Then they went all celeb obsessed too and I stopped reading... #larastone
Why do they say she has a 'Flemish face'? She's Dutch. People often say Flemish, when they refer to someone having a face like a Vermeer painting (Girl with the pear earring), but he was Dutch too. #larastone
@BlondeGoddess: I think they mean her face is like the faces in the paintings of the Flemish school. Like you can compare someone to a Botticelli without meaning that they're Italian. I don't personally see that she looks like something out of a van Eyck but there we go! #larastone
Whoa! Whoa, whoa, whoa! She pushed a coworker down "only a few stairs" and you characterize it as "human"?!!! I characterize it as "simple assault." #larastone
FYI- When you click on the scanned photos of the article, websites for "amateur webcam sex" pop up. For those west-coasters (and late-working east-coasters) still at work! #larastone
"Hence why you'll never read about the night Charlize Theron's mom shot and killed her dad while 15-year-old Charlize watched in a women's magazine."
Um, that's not true - we highlighted that aspect of her history in a Charlize cover-story/interview in UK Cosmo 8 or 9 years ago. The reason it doesn't get mentioned now is that everyone knows about it at this point, and I'm sure Charlize herself doesn't want this episode to be endlessly repeated - there is more to her than just this horrible chapter in her life.
Besides this minor slip-up, good job at explaining the whole celeb law of diminishing returns. So true.
@Diziet_Sma: Additionally, it was written about in Jane magazine several years ago. But to be fair, Jane didn't start out as a normal women's mag. #larastone
@Diziet_Sma: Me too! There were some great fashion editorials that I still remember today. Not to mention the general tone of the mag. Double sigh. #larastone
I'm just shocked she's not hunched over more in that photo. Cramps, girl! Imagine horrific, back-breaking cramps!
And for the record, I am a woman and I have no wish to be skinnier. None. I have no idea what I weigh, but if someone told me (a psychic doctor, perhaps) that I had lost or gained 15 lbs in the past year I'd be hard-pressed to do more than shrug. So sorry, Ms. Stone and any other marketers' dreams who state this like it's a fact. And I'm not even going to pretend it's because I have more important things to worry about, like world hunger.

Of course, I kid. It would have been so easy for me to not read it. It was just too tempting! #carrieprejean

Carrie: "I'm a bigot, but so is the President."
That means that you are still a bigot, Carrie! #carrieprejean

And my remark was more a pet peeve: people (who aren't Dutch) will often refer to Rembrandt as his 'Flemish faces', etc. #larastone

She looks very like Liv Ullmann (right).
