Am I the only person here who thinks Taylor Swift sounds like a pretty smart girl who has her shit together? I sure as hell wasn't able to talk about myself in that self-aware a way when I was 19. And yes, she writes sappy teenage love songs, but at least she writes them herself instead of having the Nashville machine churn them out for her.
@Princess Leela: I have to agree with you. I definitely respect her as a songwriter and a 19 yr old who seems to have her shit together. And her appearance on Ellen right after she broke up whatever Jonas brother that was was priceless! She seems real, even if she says silly shit sometimes. I mean, who doesn't?

@BoogedyBoo: That was my thought exactly! I remember reading that book as a kid and thinking it was SO DEEP. All I remember about it now is incest and insulin.
Let's talk about MJ's kids for a quick minute. From what you can see of their faces, they look really pretty. But it kind of creeps me out that they almost look like what he looks like now, post-surgeries. I suspect that he chose a sperm donor with the kind of features he was trying to attain through surgery, so that the kids would get those genes. Ick.
I'm assuming he's not really their father. They look awfully white. I mean, I know he does too, but skin bleach doesn't change your DNA. (And, yes, I also know that kids who are 1/2 african american can be any shade under the sun, but what are the chances that all three of them would be so pale? And look so much like him after eleventy thousand plastic surgeries?)
@Breamworthy: Can skin bleach really do that? I mean, I was looking at his hand in that photo and it is really, really light.
I'm now forming the theory that there have actually been multiple Michael Jacksons over time, which has been hidden by plastic surgeries. And the current Michael Jackson is a white guy.
@Breamworthy: Also weird is the fact that they are wearing school uniforms, but I'm pretty sure they're home-schooled. Didn't MJ make a big deal about that a couple of years back, how because they are his kids they could never have a "normal" life by mixing with "normal" kids at school?
And I also can't imagine what it does to a kid's psyche to have to wear a mask in public all the time.
@heykoukla: Yeah, he's an odd thinker that one. I hope to god they have some really sensible person in charge of their education, but I fear that such is not the case.
@heykoukla: upon further review, the "school uniforms" have a giant embroidered letter "M" with a crown on top. considering that the boys' names are Prince Michael and Prince Michael II, it's very possible that you are right, and even scarier, that they have uniforms for homeschooling....
@Beat Girl thinks everything's gone Blah: That's a good point, as it is a series of baseball metaphors. Are there equivalent sexual tropes relating to rugby, cricket, football? I think rugby might provide some interesting terms...
"We try to protect ourselves from being fully in love and fully open and fully vulnerable, and really all we're doing is protecting ourselves from love and real love and the opportunity to really learn and grow with another person, so it's actually really detrimental, and you think it's helping."
sayeth pink, who has a frillion dollars in the bank and kinda sorta never really ended her marriage to carey hart or whatever. i think the key there is knowing when to be fully open and fully vulnerable versus when to protect yourself.
@rednrowdy: I totally agree with your last sentence. I don't think I understand what you think her having money, or the status of her relationship with Corey Hart, has to do with it, though. I think her quotation is pretty true.
That dude Marilyn is still telling anyone who will listen that he was in a relationship with Gavin Rossdale in the '80s.
On one hand: It seems rude and disrespectful to use a past relationship for publicity. On the other hand, had I been in a relationship with Gavin Rossdale, I would probably put that on my resume.
My mother recently sent me one of her trademark loopy emails saying "Do you know Lady GaGa? I really like the song Poker Face. I have goggled her, she is funny." My mother's normal musical taste runs toward whatever the Boston-area 'adult contemporary light' FM station is playing, so my entire reaction to this is *facepalm* and to hope desperately that this is a phase, like when she wanted to Twitter. (My mother has been submitted several times to the Postcards From Your Momma site.)
@Trulymadlyme: You know, I don't think it is. Maybe people are more accepting of rock stars being bisexual, but it's not as big a story as say, the rumor that Will Smith is bi.
@trianaorpheus: I guess male bisexuals are as rare as unicorns. Putting the arousal studies aside (which are a whole another bag of issues), I always figured it was much more common than people admit (or want to admit). I figured this was more of a situation of "out the queer" which people seem to love. Sigh.
@Trulymadlyme: I remember seeing a photo of Gavin and Marilyn (there's still out there, you can Google), and they looked pretty sweet together, in that 80s, new romantic, gender-bending (remember that word?) way. He was obviously very much into that scene. But I guess when you reinvent yourself as a post-grunge rawk starrr, it's not something you wanna remind people of.

They were stored in her ex's brother's flat, and included computer stuff etc.
Fishy.

WTF is Lady GaGa talking about? I have Randy Savage promos which make more sense than this.

Actually, that wuld be awesome. And make MJ much more palatable.
