    The more Stephanie Meyer quotes I read, the more she scares me.
    Would it be presumptuous to assume Mr. Pattison ought also to be afraid, lest he wake up one morning (or afternoon) covered with sparkles and unable to get away?

    "Leona Lewis has turned down a $1 million offer to pose for Playboy. "
    Is this some sort of rite of passage or something? Every time I read Playboy has made that offer, the celeb in question has turned it down.
    Even in a recession.

    That is actually very polite of Vivid to ask her first. In my mind she has a tantrum at them and they accidentally release it with all the royalties going to a Vivid subset which isn't technically affiliated with Vivid and disappears when Prejean tries to sue it. Don't tantrum with porn companies.

    It appears she has lost. #angelinajolie

Even if she was 18, I think it's horrible and exploitative to release these images that were made for her boyfriend. She's hypocritical, but that doesn't mean that the world needs to see them.

    @rd2uk: I have to hope (foolishly) that it's pronounced the way it's spelled. I think that if parents spell their kids names strangely, the name should be pronounced as it's spelled. But people don't do that. They really seem to believe that if you spell something funny, it's still the same name. And that's not necessarily the rule.

    For example, Addisynne is not Addison, Serah is not Sarah (although it's darn close), Sha is not Shay, and Courtenay is not Courtney. #angelinajolie

    @NellMood: I guess it's one of those "you have to know" situations. Mispronouncing "Courtenay" and "Courtney" isn't all that hard to do, and all this woman had to do was say "Actually, it's Courtenay. We get that all the time" and move on. However, she'd usually unleash a tirade that was usually uneccesary. I'm not insulting her choice of names, but a sense of humor/understanding when mispronunciations happen wouldn't have hurt. I'm Kathleen and I've gotten "Katherine" and "Karen" so much I've learned to answer to those. #angelinajolie

    @Ms Meghan: I have read some things - that are probably wild speculation - relating this to the fact that Dion is Roman Catholic.

    Whatever happened it must be really hard t go through something like that in the public eye. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't want my personal business to be public knowledge. I have no problem with her not telling the world what happened if it is difficult for her.

    In the UK women don't tend to tell everyone else they are pregnant until after 12 weeks. I know my family and friends in the US all tell about pregnancies almost right away. I personally always thought "Why not tell everyone right away? You might need support etc anyway if you have a miscarriage." Thinking now about the fact that you might have to make a decision to terminate or not if there were problems and might not want to share that with others makes me re-think this though.

    A lot of her music has been about deconstructing or reclaiming the feminine from religious misogyny. Christmas, at this point, can be fairly secular. And since it's based on a Pagan holiday, I think it's fair game. I

Ophelia and Original Sinsuality (typing that makes me want to punch a panda) actively embarrass me when they come up in a shuffle. And ok, so she didn't put Have a Holly Jolly Date Rape on the Christmas album, but you can't convince me that Pink and Glitter is a stirring indictment of holiday sexism. I stand by my comment.

Also, I'd avoid letting your kid listen to any other TA albums, at least until whenever you want to explain what China white is, and why the singer's daddy is a starfucker. But that's the thing - if Tori wants to stop singing about her miscarriages and start making music for children, or idiots (I'm looking at you, Mary Jane) or whatever, I'd appreciate a heads-up so I can stop looking forward to her albums.

My parents were tolerant of my desire for kid-pap (my dad interviewed New Kids on the Block for something, and was kind enough to bring me swag, even though I know it killed him), but also really gave my brother and I a background in the fundamentals (and by "fundamentals" I mean 80's New Wave, classic rock, and folk music out the yang.), I seem to have turned out ok.

    @GeorgeFayne: That's fine, I didn't say you have to like it. My point was that musicians generally change over time, and I'd rather that than not. Or you get the Rolling Stones, who basically do a caricature of themselves.

    Tori's music has shifted over the years, the way her life has. That's always been how she operates. Sometimes you get social relevance, sometimes you get pop, sometimes you just get whatever the hell it is she wants to do. You either go with it or you don't.

    Music like hers is always highly, highly, subjective. I'm not questioning your comment or your opinion. Merely pointing out that this was her motivation, you're entitled to dislike the execution.

    I view Tori the way I view every creative person whose work I enjoy. It's nearly impossible for them to do something I will like every single time. Everyone has an off day, album, story, screenplay, whatever. If they do something I don't like in terms of style, then I move on. I don't get angry about it because I have far more good albums I enjoy from her than not.

    If she ever does an album dedicated to the awesomeness of the patriarchy and tells every woman to start having babies and give up the vote, then I'll get cranky. :} #marleematlin

    @SomeAuthorGirl: Can I recommend Sam Hinton's Whoever Shall Have Some Good Peanuts [www.amazon.com] , Peter Paul and Mommy [www.amazon.com] , and They Might Be Giants's children's album? [www.amazon.com] #marleematlin

    @GeorgeFayne: I feel ya. :) I was never censored artistically, and I think that children, as well as parents, are not given enough credit for sophistication.

    As a fan, yeah, Tori has gone some places that I can't follow at times. As a parent, I can look at projects like this one and say "I get it, and thanks for bringing me with you." #marleematlin

    @lurkerbynature: Oh, for sure. I don't consider that in the same way I consider Kidz Bop (gah) or Disney fodder (barf). TMBG, for example, are a band that have taken the fan with them into adulthood/parenthood. I dig that. My kid can listen to the children's album and also listen to Flood. :) #marleematlin

    @SomeAuthorGirl: I'm not familiar with Kidz Bop or any Disney stuff after the '80s (some of which was actually pretty good), so I don't know if they even have some of the joyful silliness that can be so great about children's music. Sounds like you're a pretty cool parent though. #marleematlin
