@BlondeGoddess: But she's saying it in a kinda gross way. I think that's why. I think it's gross to smell a wet diaper like a "baked good", whether or love your children or not. It's pee, not perfume! :) #sarahjessicaparker
@kookla: Well she's commenting on changing her current childrens' diapers so... yeah, I do. Not all of them, but at least some of them. #sarahjessicaparker
Also, SMG? Listen. There are lots of "selfless" things a person can do. One can volunteer their time to helping others, advocating for a worthy cause, donating money to charity, or choosing to live in a socially-aware way. Having a child can also be one of them. Seriously, I'm glad you're happy, I wish you lots of happiness and love and all that good stuff, but having a baby =/= selfless. Having a baby = having a baby. Lots of people have kids and don't become selfless.
I shouldn't even post this comment - it feels really mean and self-centered, but it just pisses me off when people have kids, and then tell me how awesome they are for it. People donate time, love and goodness in all sorts of ways. You don't have to be a parent to be selfless, and you don't have to be selfless to be a parent. #sarahjessicaparker
@boxspelunker: I believe you do have to be selfless, in some ways, to have a kid and raise it. But on the other hand, in some ways, you have to be selfish. So yah, in this overpopulated world of ours, I am not going to praise the choice to have children.
I love SMG but that comment bothered me. Even just the idea of her saying that people aren't capable of being good parents in their 20's. You might have not have been but others are capable of that - we all grow at different rates. #sarahjessicaparker
@boxspelunker: Yes! And some people make very good, selfless parents even when they're in their twenties! If you're the kind of person who steps up to the plate you'll probably do it just as well in your twenties as in your thirties or beyond.
Good for her, she's happy with the choices she made. That's really wonderful. But I wish she didn't have to imply that people making different choices aren't as perfect as her. #sarahjessicaparker
@Elaken: I agree with your second point, I had a kid in my 20's and one in my 30's and yes, people do grow at different rates. People who want kids should have them when they're ready. I know many people in their late 30's, early 40's and they will never be ready and I know some parents in their 20's who are doing just fine. #sarahjessicaparker
@Elaken: I can't bear it when people who have been parents for all of, ooh, five minutes, start sharing their 'wisdom' with the world. I'm glad they're happy but, seriously, they know fuck-all.
As for the age thing... I've been a young mother and an older mother - had my first kid in my early 20s and my last kid in my late 30s. There are pros and cons to both, and a good parent works with what they've got. Yeah, I was more patient as an older mother but I had a lot more energy as a younger mother. I'm more stable now, I was more adventurous then. Different, not better. #sarahjessicaparker
@boxspelunker: and if you grew the thing in your own stomach using your own dna and body materials, it isn't really selfless anyway, as it's just a continuation of your own damn self. #sarahjessicaparker
@Elaken: I think to be a good parent, a certain amount of selflessness and selfishness is needed (in the appropriate amounts and times, of course!). But the act of being a parent alone is not selflessness nor does it necessarily create selflessness. That's really what I take issue with. I know lots of kindof crappy parents, who talk big talk about how magical, wonderful and selfless being a parent is, when they are unwilling to make very many sacrifices for their child. Maybe that's why it burns my butt so much? :)
@AnotherJenn: This is also true! Some 2o-somethings are great parents. I just didn't like how condescending it sounded, I guess.
@metalkate: In a way, having a baby is completely unmiraculous - it happens every day, around the world, it is needed for the continuation of the species, etc., etc. I know when it happens on a micro level, it's totally different, but I hate it when parents act like they are the only ones ever who have experienced such a thing. It's like, on a macro level, this is nothing. Don't start lecturing people just yet. :) #sarahjessicaparker
Michael Lohan is a huge douche, but I kind of love the idea of God looking down on Hollywood and deciding who will be smote with a role in 'Labor Pains' and who will be spared. #sarahjessicaparker
@NellMood: And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.
And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
For unto you is given this day in the city of Los Angeles a Stinker, which is Labor Pains, the movie.

I used to like Marilyn Manson (in high school). Then I got a bit older (I'm only a few years out of high school...) and forgot about him. Now every time I am reminded of him, I dislike him more and more.
Now I can officially write him off as not only a completely psychotic douchebag with delusions of grandeur but a really BORING musician too. Seriously, that song sucked.
That music video was disgusting. Marilyn Manson is a tool. And I feel really sorry for Evan Rachel Wood having this delinquent old man lurking around with murderous fantasies. I'd invest in a hefty team of bodyguards if I were here. #marilynmanson
@TurtleSpeak: Oh, god. I got into him during Portrait of an American Family, when I was in middle school. I'm so embarrassed about it every time I read one of these gossip items now. He is such a psychotic douchebag. #marilynmanson
@morninggloria: Well, he is 40. You would think he would notice that his shtick is kind of ridiculous. I guess he's Jack LaLanne of pretentious bullshit. #marilynmanson
@sailorsong: It's like, dude. Do you think that no one in America has the internet? Anyone with a computer and a healthy adult curiosity can discover in about five minutes that Marilyn Manson is like... embarrassingly un hardcore when compared to that death metal band that like murdered each other in Norway back in the 90's. #marilynmanson
@Maryscary: His cries for attention are getting a bit pathetic. I used to associate him with pleasant memories of my H.S. days until he Godwined his damn self. #marilynmanson
@Maryscary: Well, in his defense, in every interview ever, he's like, "Yeah, I'm not really hardcore. That's an act, and people eat it up and pay me to act like a jackass, haha!"
I still think he's a jackass underneath it, just a different kind. #marilynmanson
That U2 story is priceless. I like to imagine Bono's thought process: The destruction of a wall separating communists from capitalists? Triumph of humanity! Build a wall separating rich from notsorich? Seems reasonable!#marilynmanson
@yvanehtnioj: I really doubt Bono is in charge of how the venue is arranged.
I actually saw him last week at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame concert. I was in the very, very obstructed view seats and he was the first person out of 9 acts to turn and give us a little wave. #marilynmanson
@yvanehtnioj: one of the best halloween costumes i saw last weekend was a guy as Bono: he had a microphone, sunglasses...and a battery powered boombox blasting U2.
he spent the whole night ONLY saying things like this. #marilynmanson
@clevernamehere: If I could edit my comments today I'd add a /jokes tag. I know Bono's not in charge of everything in the world, that's just the impression he likes to give.
