@mscomplexity: Well as long as people are being responsible about it and being safe, it's not our place to slut shame men or women on how many partners they choose to have. My only problem is when people feel pressured to have unsafe sex or sex when they aren't prepared to handle all of the potential consequences.
@5ft of fury: It's not about slut shaming; it's that having sex with hundreds and only relying on a condom is irresponsible. A condom is not 100% safe and there are STDs you can get while wearing one.
@Rosaxé: Yeah. Herpes and HPV can be transmitted even when partners wear condoms. I don't think it's slut shaming either, I think it's just that her "responsibility" stance left out a few crucial pieces of info.
"Kate Moss's boyfriend Jamie Hince is getting tired of Kate's lengthy karaoke sessions and is limiting her to half an hour a day."
I don't know why, but this made me laugh a lot. I'm just picturing her bellying up to the karaoke machine and wailing out, I dunno, a song from "Grease." Hee hee.
Ricky Gervais' quote surprised me. I always though American TV was ripping off British TV...and not doing it nearly as well! Trading Spaces (British version: Changing Rooms) come immediately to mind.
I am looking forward to the explanation of the names. Marion: for someone's mother/grandmother, I buy that. But Tabitha: as in Samantha and Darren's child on Bewitched?
"Did he want me to be his 'older woman' friend? He gravitated to older women. For solace? Succor? A beard? Did he want me to teach him the ropes? I never could quite figure it out."
@goldenmonkey: but she has a point. He hung out at various times with Katharine Hepburn, Elizabeth Taylor, Madonna (who was actually his age, but for some reason I think of her as older) and Diana Ross.
I think it was a combination of heroine worship, culling tips on performance, and just the ability to hang with ladies who understood the spotlight.
I would really like to know which British TV shows Ricky is talking about? None of the comedies currently on British television represent any of those shows he is talking about.
I had a dream the other night that I was at a really scene-y club and I was not having a good time. I wanted to leave so badly. Suddenly, Jay-Z showed up and said, Why are you leaving? I came here because I wanted to kick it with you! (he may not have said "kick it" in my dream...)
Anyway, the rest of the dream was Jay-Z and I becoming BFF's.
Good on my new dream best friend's part for using his clout to ban that shiteater Chris Brown from the BET awards.
My first reaction to the BI was "please don't be Nick Carter; he finally seems to have gotten his life together." Then I remembered that the Backstreet Boys are recording an album so it couldn't be him.
Yes, I like to party like it's 1999, why do you ask?
@Definer-not-defined: I think it is pretty telling that the two youngest in the group (Nick was 12 and AJ was 14, give or take, when the group started) both struggled with addiction. Kids should be kids. Nick's parents are especially horrible.
And I obviously care way too much about a 90's pop act. Sigh.
@bitingfairy needs a job: Heh, ditto. Today my bf suggested I take up nannying as I have my mornings free and my immediate visceral reaction was "F*** no, I hate kids!" I then felt sheepish and changed it to "I hate when I'm forced to hang around kids."

I do wonder who it is though.
I was a freshman in high school in 99!

Who is Dakota supposed to be again? Lita Ford? I like Dakota and she's a great actress, but she seems a bit too wholesome for that role.
I suppose we shall see.

Also, lady... beating a woman like CB did is not just a "mistake", he needs serious help.
