Didn't Whitney already make a similar comment a while ago about LCs designs? Something like Well my stuff's going to be more high-end, or something like that? Hm. Love the catty undercutting; always a good look (not).
Michael Lohan is the new Linda Tripp (tape recording all phone conversations, later using them to forward a political agenda, having poor personal style...)
So I think Kirk Cameron is ridiculous, and I love seeing him looking like an idiot. But in a way, he is right (AHHHHH) Sometimes people do "believe" in evolution in the same way that people "believe" in whatever creationsim story Kirk and the likes are preaching. Some of the UCLA students might be exceptions. . .but the majority of people in the U.S that would agree with the theory of evolution can not cite specific evidence, they are just part of a specific cultural context, and spouting things that were taught to them in middle and high school, often trying to prove that they are scientifically minded and rational in opposition to the bible-thumping creationists.
My point is that, in general, we need to get everyone (even those who believe in evolution) to think critically about scientific theories. Some of the douzy's in 19th century science, right alongside Darwin, are perfect examples of how established science can go haywire without critical thinking (skull measurements and social darwinism). Not to mention, there is so much more that can be explained about evolution, that it would be a pity to see it as a done deal.
@BeRy51: Well, yeah, I think most people are ill-equipped to make a hard scientific argument supporting the theory of evolution (which I do not dispute), and even fewer are prepared to make an argument against it which doesn't rely on the verity of the Bible (and that argument is not at all difficult to dispute, ironically; we have proof that it was written by humans). What bothers me about the creationists is that their goal is not only to discredit evolution as a scientific theory, but it is to replace it with something that is even less grounded in fact, which they contend is actually more true because it involves the Bible. Critical thinking is excellent, and evolution is worthy of critical thought. I just don't think that the Kirk Camerons of the world are capable of it, even if they were willing, which they aren't.
God Damn! If there was a question as to whether or not Jon Gosslin had already crossed the line into horrible, exploitative parenting, that recorded phone call pushes him far, far into the realm of sack-of-shit, pimping dads.
Are we calling this child abuse yet? The Gosslins, like the Lohans before them, are getting awfully close.
You know those phone calls between Gosselin's manager and Michael Lohan were just Michael trying to get John some help! He cares about him and knows he needs rehab.
@lovecake: Really? I think it sounds kind of cool, assuming that it ends up being one of his good movies (which, yeah, is quite an assumption nowadays, but Match Point and Vicky Christina Barcelona were good!).
@eatsshootsleaves: Yeah I can't support someone who took naked pics of his stepdaughter when she was underage. I'll save my $10.oo and go see a movie that doesn't support a pedophile. I am EXTREMELY anti Woody Allen.
@lovecake: that doesnt make his films bad, though. Many of them are actually really good. Don't know how his personal life makes his films akin to being shown in a 'handbasket en-route to hell.'
@rd2uk: His films could be the most amazing cinematical dreams ever written for all I care, I still won't watch them and still refuse to support a pedophile. And yes, supporting a pedophile is my idea of hell. I don't understand the love that he gets from so many on this site- what he has done is NOT OK. Just because she became of age and married him and had his babies doesn't make it right.
@rd2uk:See, on one hand I agree with you. I think that one should be able to separate an artist's work from his life. But here's how I feel about Woody Allen. The films that he makes that don't involve an excuse for him to put his hands on an OUTRAGEOUSLY young actress as his love interest are pretty good (like Match Point and The Purple Rose of Cairo).
But then there's Manhattan. So the movies where HE separates his work from his personal life I can sit through and even enjoy. But then there's Manhattan.
@SusanDeath: I think Manhattan is a great movie, but it blows my mind that his character was dating a high school girl and nobody really minded-- aside from making cradle-robber jokes in his general direction. At the time that movie was made, was it likely or even possible that an older man would openly date an underage girl with no fear of any repercussions? I have no idea.
@ytuhermanotambien: Hemingway's character was 17 in that movie -- the legal age of consent in New York. So their relationship was odd, but not illegal.
some of kirks minions handed out copies of the edited origin of species at my school. the introduction in this version provided HOURS of entertainment. good luck changing a lot of minds in boston, crazies!

When I think of "manly men" the last thing that comes to mind are Dockers.
Are they still popular in the States? I think they are the most unflattering pants.
What is the correct way to pronounce Louboutin? Like the maestro says, I've heard it pronounced different ways.

Frankly, after spending enough time in England, I can't take khaki pants seriously. Sounds too much like kaki pants, and nobody wants that.

thank you.

I had no idea Dockers were popular with women.
