So no one in Hollywood knows what a tomboy actually is, right? I'm not saying there's a set definition, but when Paris Hilton is convinced she's a tomboy then the word has lost all meaning.

Cate Blanchett and I have something in common! Actually, that's why I only vacuum every once in a while -- so there's more of the satisfying noise of things being sucked up.

Also, I want to know which song(s) specifically Carrie Fisher is talking about.

@happymisanthrope: Yeah, you have to take Wikipedia as Wikipedia. But the "Graceland" entry says "The lyrics deal with the singer's thoughts during a road trip to Graceland after the failure of his marriage to actress and author Carrie Fisher." I'm guessing it's the lyric, "She comes back to tell me she's gone / As if I didn't know that / As if I didn't know my own bed / As if I never noticed the way she brushed her hair from her forehead", etc.

@sangmo: Like clevernamehere said, not all guys cheat. They're not barbarians. I don't care if you want to sleep around, that's fine, but I don't like when people cheat on their unsuspecting spouses (men or women). It's just not fair, and it puts the faithful spouse at risk for things like STDs. I just don't see the point in getting married (assuming your spouse expects you to remain monogamous) if you want to sleep around, since you can always opt to not get married.

@Lachaise: I've found that on an individual level, military personnel are (for the most part) in line with her statement. In groups though, with some alcohol, military men can be just as big of assholes as civilians. If you were an ass before putting on a uniform, the uniform probably didn't change much.

There ain't no way Elin Woods dragged Tiger across three rows of seats and out the back window.

It was shattered before he ever took off, because she took an iron to it and probably also tried smashing some other windows.

If this story is true, he got off easily.

I'm not quite sure what I am trying to say here, but I am interested in the fact that the athlete involved in this story is a golfer.
Most athletes are thought of as extremely masculine and strong and these qualities allow them to excel at hard-hitting, competitive sports. Golf is not only unlike these other sports but in many ways it rests on tradition, formality and seriousness.
So, when athletes are involved in what may be domestic issues, we are [unfortunately] unsurprised. A golfer though, much more difficult for the media/us to wrap their heads around.
If Tiger Woods played football or basketball would most people not automatically assume this was a domestic fight; rather than some freak accident?
I know this is a weird angle but I'm a sports nerd and this is really the first golf-related interesting story that I can remember, and I wonder if they do not get the benefit of the media's doubt?

I don't believe the "smashed the back window to drag him out" story. How the heck do you drag out a 200+ pound, unconscious athlete from the driver's seat, across 3 rows, and through a broken-in window with jaggedy glass edges and shattered bits? That last part is the hardest for me to believe.

@sayah: How he's avoided getting sacked from the Twilight series by direct insistence of Stephenie Meyer, I'll never know. He is begging for it. But my absolute favourite Pattinson quote is this one:

"When you read the book," says Pattinson, looking appropriately pallid and interesting even without makeup, "it's like, 'Edward Cullen was so beautiful I creamed myself.' I mean, every line is like that. He's the most ridiculous person who's so amazing at everything. I think a lot of actors tried to play that aspect. I just couldn't do that. And the more I read the script, the more I hated this guy, so that's how I played him, as a manic-depressive who hates himself. Plus, he's a 108-year-old virgin so he's obviously got some issues there."

@A Small Turnip: RP's quote has one of my pet peeves.

"so that's how I played him, as a manic-depressive who hates himself"

Bipolar disorder is complex medication condition, not a personality trait. I've just been seeing the words "manic" and "bipolar" being thrown around a lot lately in the media, and I think it oversimplifies an already stagmatized condition.

@maude_flanders: It's from Empire magazine, a well-regarded film mag here in the UK. My second favourite Pattinson story is one that came from an Empire interview with Rupert Grint last year:

"After he replied to the text message, we found out that Rupert recently lost a bet to actor Robert Pattinson, who was once part of the Harry Potter cast in a previous film, and insisted that Rupert read the bestselling book. Rupert is now "stuck reading 'Twilight' " and that Rob was just texting him to see how far along he was getting.

Rupert admitted he had only read the first five chapters of the bestselling book and we just informed him that there were three more books in the series. "No, really, are you serious? I thought there was just this one book?" Only now realizing he has to read three more, Rupert took his phone out and sent another message to Rob. By the looks of things, we can bet it wasn't a very pleasant message."
