    Shayne Lamas, dear - I used to teach an educational program for folks who had been arrested for DUI, and I often heard, "But I only had one drink."

    The mirror I hold up for perfection is my mom. A widowed Japanese immigrant living in the US, who didn't read or write English, yet managed to raise eight children who grew up to be successful, intelligent and extremely well-adjusted.

    Megan Fox and Angelina Jolie have some big shoes to fill. #angelinajolie

    @kookla: My GranNana was a 4'11, 85 lb. Irish immigrant who raised five children on her own after her husband died of the flu at the age of 34. She worked as a seamstress and a bicycle and coach mechanic (!) to get them through the Depression intact.

    All my early memories of her involve her making me toast fried in bacon fat, coaching my push-ups from her Barca Lounger, and swearing at my mother for not keeping my Stepdad in line. No offense to Ange--she's great--by GranNana could kick Lara Croft's ass in time for Sunday dinner without wrinkling her dress. I'd give my left foot to spend another day with her--if only to hear her cuss out Sarah Palin. #angelinajolie

    I'm pretty sure in 50 years, starlets will have Angelina Jolie tattoos on their arms and they'll be talking about her dress size and how it has changed since the 1990s.

    Jolie (on a some level, in terms of her humanitarian work and her bombshell status) is like a hybrid of Audrey and Marilyn, two actresses whom people just can't stop emulating. This is just the beginning, I think.

    @hortense: This is one of those cultural memes I just don't get, and I don't know if it's a wiring thing, or what. But I just have no strong feelings about Angelina. I mean, I know she's beautiful, but she isn't the first actress I think of when I think about that (especially now, when she does seem to have a sort of cultivated stoicism), and she's a good actress, but again, not someone who I'm automatically excited to see. I don't even feel cynical OR moved by her adoptions and charity work. She just leaves me "meh" and I can't claim it's because I'm such an independent iconoclast, either. #angelinajolie

    Also, I'm not sure why Jolie gets the "superhuman" status treatment all the time. She has fucked up, publicly, in the past. It's as if everyone has forgotten her life pre-Brad Pitt. It's so weird. That's not to say that I think she should be punished for fucking up or anything, but I think it's sort of hilarious that people act like her halo isn't tarnished a bit. #angelinajolie

    And truth be told, I thought she was awesome right from the time of Girl, Interrupted. #angelinajolie

    @hortense: You're absolutely right. Another thing that bothers me is that people seem to forget that pre-Brad, she looked and acted entirely differently. She was Goth, often wore unflattering clothing, and publicly flaunted past bad behavior. The entire time she was with Billy Bob, most people talked about how creepy she was, not how beautiful she is. I happen to think she was attractive before the Brad era, but she went through a major, major make-over to maker her more conventionally sexy, and to overhaul her public image. #beautypetpeeves

    @Tchotchke: @Waterlily: @hortense: I don't actually like Ange, I find her a bit smug and I don't trust people who can turn on a dime like that. That said, she did adopt Maddox right before getting together with Brad. I'm giving her the benefit of the doubt that that had more to do with her image-revamp rather than the man in her life. I'm sure she remembered the Courtney Love/Vanity Fair scandal. #angelinajolie

    @hortense: Jolie had to change her image. She was considered a world class loon. Her reputation was damaging her career. One must admit that she is a master (mistress?) of media manipulation. She went from deranged bloodsucking homewrecker to Mother Teresa in an amazingly short time.

    @Bunsen Honeydew: Is it impossible for people to mature? I hope that 10 years from now, I am not the same woman that I am today.

    I also read that she was on drugs around that era. Maybe maturity kicked-in and she decided to clean up her act? #angelinajolie

    @amoureuse is a second class citizen: I don't know if you remember exactly how quickly that maturing process went for her. I'd chalk one up to maturity if she had spent a few years evolving into what she is now. But she was being weird with Billy Bob, giving interviews about her knife collection, the whole works. And then she adopted Maddox, and a few days later dumped Billy Bob, and then within a few weeks started this whole humanitarian thing, and within 6 months she went from weird-destructive-knife-loving party girl to classy, charitable Brad Pitt love interest. It's just too quick for me to believe either persona is completely her, rather than a partial PR creation. Yes, people mature, but generally people with handlers mature differently than you and I. #angelinajolie

    @Diziet_Sma: I simply do not see it in Jolie, so it's strange to read that "perfection" comment. My thought bubble always reads "Is this some sort of joke?"

    It's almost like a marketing strategy for a new automobile/tech gadget/film that is average at best but gets major ink: "Hey kids, it's great/new & improved/in 3-D...so pass it down!" Of course, some folks ain't buying it...and some, like myself, find Angelina straight up boring. BORING. There. I said it. #angelinajolie

    with reference to the skin lightening stuff in India, while I agree that a lot of that ties into the Indian caste system, but a huge part of is tied in strongly with the concept of 'brown englishmen' etc #brangelinajewelry

    @rd2uk: I don't know, I saw skin lightening lotions all over Asia. I think it's just used to be a marker of wealth/beauty, like how it used to be cool to be overweight and pale in the US if you were wealthy and you weren't working all the time.

    A side note, my friend was absolutely shocked when we first came across lightening cream, because she was so used to pale being undesirable. #brangelinajewelry

    I clicked the link to the VB article and was pleasantly surprised. Those photos with the kids with Beckham were really lovely. I want very much to be cynical and say that she was merely doing this for some good publicity, but I don't think that is the case. As far as photo ops and charity work go, there are far more glamourous causes these days (hence why every damn celebrity/socialite shills for Operation Smile), and more exotic places to go that Clay County, Kentucky. Her smile seemed really genuine, and even if she was playing it up for the cameras, I highly doubt that those kids were. #victoriabeckham
