    If Jay-Z has really changed his name to Shawn Knowles-Carter (as opposed to just B changing hers), then my liking for him has just increased astronomically. I kind of doubt that it's true, but if it is true, then it's awesome.

    dear carrie underwood,
    first of all, best wishes for your engagement.

    now, I know you are somewhat traditional, but I just wanted to ask you as a friend not to adopt your fiancee's name once you are married. You seem to work hard and have a nice story but I'm afraid you are no Carrie Fisher.

    love, Lucy

    Drugs are an easy way to keep weight off and your energy up. I wish it were not so, but it's true. I can honestly say that if I were in film for whatever reason, I would be totally fucked up. Not only that, but I can see how so many women drop weight just from the stress of being followed, performing in films (so many are not natural actors, and so many question their talents), having everything you say and do picked apart, including your looks. That kind of anxiety would straight up kill my appetite.

    I don't want to project that this was the case for Murphy. In fact, it didn't even cross my mind until I started reading media this morning. But I can't ignore the culture radiating through this industry that is so totally damaging. And we all feed into it. It's just sad. Really sad.

    I am a reasonably intelligent 30 year old and I am still not past the point where I am tempted to be a vulnerable, self-destructive, wasting away kind of person. It's almost like society worships this kind of female being who needs to be saved, but only when she is whip thin, doe-eyed or conforms to any kind of superficial way. It's super distressing.

    I think I might just be taking this personally, but having known people with EDs whose hearts have stopped and so many people with drug problems, I just know that even if it turns out that this is what happened with Murphy, none of them, none of us will take anything from it in any real way. And things will just go back to being the same.

    @Penny: Yeah, almost every day I have to dismiss a fleeting thought that if I developed a raging coke habit the rest of my life would be happy even if shortened because I would be thin. And I ain't even an actress.

    @Penny: I think all the time about the boundaries in place in most people's lives that keep them from a raging drug habit, ie money, family, job, ect. So many of those things can't be done (or done long term)by your average joe with an incapacitating drug habit.

    It is astounding how many of these boundaries lift when you are rich and famous. Suddenly drugs are every where, done by everyone and money is no issue. You have people paid to cover your indiscretions. Who would not develop some sort of raging habit given those conditions?

    I remember when the original Supergirl movie came out. My mom had given me some sort of promotional magazine with Helen Slater on the cover, and I was convinced it would be the best movie of all time and win every Oscar there was.

    I mostly remember being very disappointed.

    @icyblonde: Sadly, I am confirming it.

    An investigation on Wikipedia does inform me that the director's cut was released on DVD in 2006 with about 50 minutes of footage added to the theatrical release, which might go a long way towards restoring best-ness.

    Entertainer of the year? I'm sure that Taylor Swift is a great person, but has anybody else heard her try to sing live? It ain't pretty. It's not so much that she's out of tune, but her voice is very thin and lacks any kind of tonal quality.

    Actually, a friend of a source of a roommate tells me Michelle was impregnated by Ted Kennedy before he died (as opposed to after) and that the only reasonable thing to do was to put the child in a Portugese Water Dog costume and act so happy that Ted "gave" the family a new "pet."

    Brad storms off into Gerard's arms, leaving pregnant Jen inconsolable and Angie adopting a white, Canadian child to mend her broken heart and be the ring-bearer as she walks down the aisle with Tom, as a distraught Katie moves to her secret apartment in NYC, where she hides Suri from Xenu while kindling the child's secret love affair with Maddox.

    Oh, and the Kardashians are all pregnant, married and go bald. And get In Touch tattooed on their scalps.
