Ugh, okay, the cutting thing. As a person who has struggled, crazy-like, with S-I for nearly 15 years, I can say that her prolonged issue with it is no joke. It's simply a symptom of an (obviously) larger problem.
God, I hope that girl gets some love. I know that if I didn't have parents who love me, I'd be dead or dying. It's so sad. #cindycrawford
@ Item 1: Whhaaaa? Somebody please to explain. I do not get this. At. All.
If someone took an inappropriate pic of my underage child without my knowledge, it would be their ass that was getting sued--and beaten. WTF? #cindycrawford
@BetteD: What I'm guessing is that the kids were playing a kidnapping/ mystery/imagination game, and the daughter was the 'beautiful victim" , probably tied to a chair with a skipping rope or something, and wearing dress-up clothes.
The picture was probably part of the game, and the nanny is trying to use it as evidence of something twisted, which it is not. #cindycrawford
@carley: "revealing clothing" could be a spaghetti tank and shorts. I wouldn't worry about it. The kids were probably playing (princess trapped by evil stepmother, cops and robbers, the list goes on and on), a photograph was taken, and now the nanny is using it against them. #cindycrawford
Jesus, Stephanie Pratt (whoever you are) I, too, hate it when I'm being tested by Professor Captain Morgan and he gives me pop quizzes all of the time, like, making me drive my fucking car intoxicated and stuff. It was totally the Captain and not my own poor choices or abhorrent behavior. Nope. Not at all. #cindycrawford
I'm not usually particularly affected by Lindsay Lohan's seemingly-endless trials and tribulations, but this shit with her father and the taped phone calls makes me want to burst into tears. What a little shit he is.
I wish to fuck that she could get away from her toxic parents and managers and agents and enablers and get a lungful of fresh air somewhere. Not because she's famous or wealthy or even particularly talented or pure of heart, but just because she's a person. And she deserves a chance at peace, like we all do. #cindycrawford
I really hope that tattoo on Cindy Crawford's kid's arm isn't real. If I got a tattoo at that age, I'm pretty sure I'd be walking around right now with Rainbow Brite on my boob. #cindycrawford
@rodmanstreet: I think I'd have gone for She-Ra on my left buttock. Rainbow Brite may have been badass, but she didn't have a sword, so, you know. Violence wins. #cindycrawford
Catherine Hardwicke, you are speaking out of turn. Let 'em kids be! Don't make me "Ricki Lake you," as we used to say in the '90s--because I very much adored your work on Lords of Dogtown and Thirteen.
PS: Where's @sweet_communist? Please report for duty! I prefer tag-team-ing on Dirtbag After Dark with you. #cindycrawford
I'll be very happy when the rest of the world realizes that "gypsy" is the pejorative term for the Roma. Please call them what they prefer to be called. They've suffered enough indignities. (Full disclosure: my great-great-grandmother was Roma, but I think it would still bug me that in the 21st century we're still calling them gypsies, even if I wasn't part Roma myself.) #romanpolanski
@Sputnik_Sweetheart: In one of his YouTube videos, he ranted about women wearing makeup and how it was like false advertising, and then said something about being glad his wife is Japanese. I took it to mean that he was stereotyping Japanese women as subservient. He seems like an asshole all around... #romanpolanski
@missinaction: I believe he said that a few times. I also took it to mean that a large part of his attraction to her was based on negative stereotypes of Asian women. I feel so badly for his wife. It seems he is incredibly controlling and probably emotional abusive. #romanpolanski
regarding the yahoo article about ethan hawke and madonna: isn't the term "gypsy" condered to be offensive? i know at least here in germany (where i'm an expat american) the german equivalent of gypsy (zigeuner) is considered to be very un PC and instead the terms "roma and sinti" are used.
@cbroo: From the other side of the argument--I'm Romanian, born-and-bred--I should tell you that calling gypsies "Roma people" causes any & all Romanians to blow a major fuse.
The Western media has perpetuated this myth that gypsies as an ethnic minority = "Romanians," which is not only incorrect, but linguistically absurd.
Etymologically, "Romanian" traces its roots to the adjective "Roman" (Roman empire, etc.) but the description of gypsies as "Roma people" has Southeast-Asian roots.
"Gypsy," in my view, is much more illustrative. I don't get why it's un-PC. Gypsies do not occupy a nation-state, tethered to a precise land mass; they're a pan-European ethnic group. There are German gypsies, Hungarian gypsies, Romanian gypsies, etc. #romanpolanski

anyway, after looking at the website [www.voiceofroma.com] , particularly this page ([www.voiceofroma.com])
i'm sort of cringing at the AP's usage of the term gypsy #romanpolanski
