The notion of Pacino ruing his sex-for-sustenance the morning after makes him sound incredibly endearing. Dustin Hoffman used to set off my 'grandpa fever', but after that story about him essentially raping his brother's girlfriend, Pacino is at the head of the pack.
ugh
what danni minogue said to that dude on x factor was so incredibly inappropriate. as if there is something wrong with him if he is in fact gay or bi sexual. ugh.
@rd2uk: I don't comment super often on the gossip roundup, but this item bothers me because first and foremost, Dannii Minogue's core demographic of fans, musically, artistically, are gay men. In Britain and elsewhere she is loved primarily for the camp asthetic of being the Lesser Minogue Sister, and her music, while critically underrated, isn't exactly brilliance in .mp3 form. I surely hope she hasn't shot herself in the foot, especially since I quite like the stuff she's put out since the turn of this century. It seems like she thought this quip would draw attention to herself, and it certainly has. Word to the wise, Dannii: when you make your audience feel like they are "others" they will likely do the same to you.
@ampersandparade: I found what Dannii had to say quite bizarre, but it's not as if she outed him, he did that himself in interviews with the tabloids. I think she thought she was making a jokey point, that given that he had talked about fancying men, he didn't need to change the pronouns of his song. Ill-judged, maybe, but not malicious, I don't think.
Honestly, Miley should know better, but she was born with a silver spoon in her mouth, is only sixteen, and probably pays even less attention to how she spends her money than the average teenager. Doesn't strike me as someone that was taught the ins and outs of tipping. I don't know that Billy Ray is up to that pretty simple task.
It still makes me scratch my head when people go to their cell phones to calculate a 20% tip. 15% is kinda tricky (kinda), but 20%? For real?
@annebreal: The only thing I can figure is that she may have had carside to go (or whatever Outback calls it) which explains the "eating inside" thing. I never know what to tip for take out. But I sure as hell knew how to tip for regular service at 16. I'd been watching my parents tip for 16 years.
@vulcanized: Yeah, it must vary by region or something, because I've never heard of tipping for takeout. Eating in the restaurant, yes, delivery, yes, but picking up takeout? Pretty much never. If you asked for something exceptional or had a very large order, you might throw a couple bucks in the tip jar by the register, but if you actually tried to tip 20%, the staff would give you the standard Jersey WTF look.
"I had dairy a few weeks ago by accident and I knew because the next day I was all phlegmy. And I was farting and it was gross. And then I knew. It was dairy. Plus it makes you fat. Instantly. [There] was a time in my life where I was not interested in health at all; health was a dirty word. And when I look at pictures now, I see that I looked tired and puffy and stressed." — Alicia Silverstone, whom this paper calls "the most non-annoying vegan on the planet."
Ok, I was fine with this at first because my sister says the same thing about meat and dairy, that she feels all bleh whenever she eats it because her body doesn't produce the enzymes necessary to digest that stuff anymore. But really? Dairy makes you fat instantly? Give me a break. If you are vegan or vegetarian because you care about animals and the environment, cool. In fact, if you do it because you want to lose weight, fine. But don't tell me that I need to cut out an entire food group because you think it will make you fat. This kind of thinking is destructive and just wrong.
Also: I was watching an E! thing about her vegan cookbook, and they mentioned some delicious, cheesy thing and I would like to take this chance to remind Alicia that cheese is dairy. And vegans cannot eat it.
@Blueberry26: Things can be cheesy and be vegan. There are fake cheeses, cheese made from nuts, and a thing called nutritional yeast, which makes things taste "cheesy." They just don't have any dairy in them. Hence vegan pizza with "cheese."

If Kate wants full custody, this may be all the court needs to hear.
