Here is the thing and then I am done saying things about it: it DOES NOT matter if she hit him first or if she was giving him shit about a groupie or if she was doing just about anything the rumors say she was doing... nothing justifies beating the shit out of your 100 pound girlfriend, and threatening to strangle her. Maybe it was an overreaction to something, but it was a criminal one, and I hope he gets the book thrown at him AND that Jay-Z & Co. make his life hell.

@kelsium:

This. It is not an excuse to hit a woman no matter what. Short of her beating your ass, and you have to land one punch to defend yourself (and certainly not the ass-beating that Chris Brown is alleged to have given her), no excuse. If I was Chris i'd be really concerned about Jail Time and a double-secret whooping Id be getting from Jay-Z.

Joaquin Phoenix, in that clip, is behaving like a teenager being mocked by his older relatives for having blue hair. Translation: boy is taking himself waaaay too seriously even if it is just a stunt. Actually, especially if it's just a stunt.

I went to a Lily Allen show a few years ago and she got trashed on stage. The more she drank, the worse she sounded. I want to see her again, but it sounds like it might not be that much different from last time. Pity.

When I first read about Leona Lewis denying her involvement in the Chris Brown/Rihanna situation, my first thought was, WTF?

Then, I realized that I have not yet publicly stated my role in things. For the record, I had nothing to do with the attack on Rihanna.

Um, Isla, honey? Women are almost always flawed, deluded characters in "comedies" - see exhibit A, "He's Just Not that Into You". I mean, I get your point about how cool it is to see a woman in the lead role - but maybe a competent, not-appearance obsessed character would be a little more refreshing?

I've always wondered what the "diversity course" consists of? A bunch of people sitting in a room, with a teacher saying, over and over, "It's not that difficult. Don't hate people based on stereotypes, and don't encourage others to do the same. That's mean! So don't!"?

@morninggloria: It was a requirement of one of my jobs to go through one en masse as a workforce. One of the exercises was discussing racial epithets, etc. and their origins. I'm not sure it achieved the desired effect, as the few fuckheads in the group just learned more slurs and stereotypes.

Someone just needs to drop Harry off in a far-flung and diverse location with £2 to his name, that might do the trick. Like... Whitechapel.

I admit this: "Groan: Sports Illustrated cover moddle Bar Refaeli ate cheeseburgers and ice cream before her shoot and did not work out." pisses me off.

Must we believe that all models are starving themselves? Maybe some of them are just freaks of nature who can look amazing on cheeseburgers and ice cream?

@LaFemme: That's always annoying. Though let me put this to you and please be honest. A couple years ago, I lost a significant amount of weight: over 50 pounds. When people asked me how I did it, I would tell them I started watching what I ate. When left there, I think it's fine. Then people would ask "What is your work-out like" or "Do you work out a lot?" to which I honestly answer "I never worked out." Is that insensitive? Should I lie about it? I always feel uber-awkward.

@LaComtesse: I know what you mean. I'm naturally thin, and people ask me how I stay that way. The honest truth is I eat pretty healthy, and I don't really like sweets all that much, and I don't exercise. I usually end up trying to bash myself and telling them how out of shape I am and how I'm super weak and have no endurance.

@LaComtesse: Oy, I know what you mean. It happened to me right out of college. I'd struggled with my weight since my teens, even suffered from an eating disorder, and then bam, my first summer working for a fashion magazine and I lost a ton of weight. I was running around with garment bags (of winter clothing too) in 90-degree heat, never had time for lunch or proper meals, and stressed out because of my ridiculous hours. People were asking me how I did and telling me I was an inspiration. My mother ended up acting as my "publicist" and started giving people who said that a hard time so they'd understand that it was the most unhealthy way to lose weight and not to be copied.

@LaComtesse: No, I don't think you have to lie about excercising at all. I am naturally pretty thin, and if I do lose like 5 lbs and people begin to notice I just say I have been eating better or have been stressed. Whichever it is.

The whole "working out to lose weight" thing is weird too, and distinctly American (in my experience)> You don't have to work out to lose weight, at all. It could help, but plenty of people just cut back their calories and fat and lose.

I think @winchesterwolcott: is right, and she is doing the whole "oih I am so laid back and can eat burgers and beer with the guys!" thing. Which even if true, is just obnoxious.

I think it is so contrived. You will notice when they talk about some slim woman's last meal or whatever it is never anything normal. Like "Bar had a turkey sandwhich and some pasta salad from the deli near the shoot" it is always "Bar ate three bacon cheeseburgers, then had ice cream, candy, a beer, and a big gulp." Apparently cheeseburgers are REALLY popular among the slim Hollywood/model types! Most people I know have one every once in awhile, but these girls seem to be eating them at every opportunity!

"Clooney's rep says the rumor that Clooney is dating Fatima is false."

I read this line first before the one above it and thought wait, Fatima from ANTM?!? Weird and I just saw her outside of Penn Station yesterday.

Then I read the above line and all was right with the world. Well, sort of.

"and the incident will go on his permanent record."

@Fridge Hussy: Bellyache Is The New Caterwaul: I would be irate... then again, my taxes have gone toward killing Iraqis for oil for the past 6 years, so I guess I can STILL be irate, just about something else.

@Ms. Crankypants: Yeah, going on one's permanent record when it's published in newspapers around the world seems a bit moot.

@Eeva: And the fuckers wouldn't even let me take a picture of their stupid crown jewels when I was in London. Assholes.

@Anointynointy: Why thanks!
