Can we try an experiment? We stop talking about or paying attention to Lindsay Lohan, and we'll see if she shrivels up and dies.

Let's do this, people!

Wow, nobody seems to mind Gordon Ramsey's statements. Given the outrage over Terrence Howard's baby wipes comment that was so tame in comparison, I am shocked, well not really just confirmed what I have always believed.

And this might sounds weird, but cats are not designed to be hauled around on the tour.

Reading that made me kind of annoyed. Poor kitty.

@Azraelle: I'm not too thrilled about the casting of the movie, but I am still excited to see it.

Picoult's novels are so dark, and I just always picture Cameron Diaz as being smiley and giggly for some reason.

@Azraelle:

You are not alone. The better casting choices are endless.

I learned a long time ago not to see the movie if I'd read the book. The movie has been as good as the book only twice - A River Runs Through It, and The Great Gatsby.

Megan Fox is so painfully sexy that I would probably have a heart attack if she ever made eye contact with me.

That said, she does seem to have, ah, rather bad skin under all those layers of makeup. (I still love her though.)

@HeatherNumber1: Also, Vardalos. I was just going over this with someone, the phenomenon of bullet proof male leads and femaled leads walking on ice. How many shitty movies can Russell Crowe make before he's never cast in anything again? What actress could get away with that? One rom com breaks even and every rom com in existence gets put on hold.

I'm not into S&M, personally, but it troubles me how David Carradine is being posthumously shamed and pathologized for liking what he liked. Don't we all have something we like? Would that mean we all have "sex secrets"? Jebus, world, let the guy rest in peace.

@BellaNotte: I'm glad a few ex-lovers are coming forward to be like "No, I slept with him and he was into asphyxiation, so it probably wasn't suicide", but then stopping there. As a fan, I prefer to think of him being happy at the time of his death, rather than dealing with the anguish of what ever causes one to take their own life. I just don't need details.

NOOOOOOO! Leaving Saturday Night Fever alone.

Why redo it? It's such a specific place and time.

Plus the movie is very dark. Did they watch the original or only the PG version?

Is Hollywood going to remake The Godfather next or Casablance? How about All About Eve or Citizen Kane? Enough with this bs.

@nyc-caribbean-ragazza: The movie was dark and kinda gritty, too, but Simon Cowell loves taking interesting pieces of work with a bit of an edge and grinding them down until all those edges are smoothed out and therefore become palatable to a wide, brain-dead audience. As with the X-Factor version of Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah.

Y'know, "Saturday Night Fever" was actually a total feel-bad movie (rape, working-class angst, a header of the Verrazano Bridge, etc). Aside from the glory of Johnny T's booty-shaking, it was pretty grim. So is the Simon Cowell/Zac Efron version going to strip all that out and be totally sweetness and light?

I for one will be very pleased if Madonna does finally adopt Mercy as now seems likely. Mercy's immediate family appear to want it other than the father, who only reappeared on the scene when he heard a wealthy white woman wanted to adopt Mercy. Until that point he had been quick to deny parentage. It also seems Madonna has spend thousands of dollars on a day care centre which will benefit fa more chidren than just Mercy. In that respect, Madonna has done far more than most parents who adopt children from US or UK orphanages say but do little to help those left behind.

@Rare Affinity: I thought the adoption was derailed initially because of Mercy's grandmother was against it?

@Rare Affinity: I think the point was that Madonna did not fulfil the residency requirements for adoption in Malawi, requirements which are in place to prevent the very serious problem of baby trafficking. I imagine if she has now been exempted from that requirement, it is because of who she is, and similar exemptions will not be forthcoming for non-celebrities wishing to adopt.

@DexterHaven: Exactly. Adoption laws are in place to protect the children involved and when they're not followed, it opens the entire system up to corruption that threatens the safety of the children.

@Rare Affinity: In that respect, Madonna has done far more than most parents who adopt children from US or UK orphanages say but do little to help those left behind.

I assume what you meant here is that UK and US parents who adopt from foreign orphanages do not help those children remaining in the orphanages. I'm curious where you get that idea, because every international adoptive parent I know continues to support charities working in orphanages in the child's birth country. You're right that most of us are not building entire day care centers because we are not Madonna and don't have that kind of money to donate. However, to say that we don't give what we can is simply inaccurate.

I would point you to two wonderful examples of charities in China started by adoptive parents, both of which provide significant funding to the orphanages:
