whitest black boy you've ever met. His teeth are perfect and he's the perfect gentleman.
WOW. Please excuse me while I go inform all the black men I know that their teeth and behavior actually make them white. Meanwhile, I will also be going to visit several of the kids from my high school and explain to them their heretofore unknown black heritage.
How are Tiger's mistresses affording Gloria Allred as their attorney? She bares the unlikely distinction of being a well-known lawyer outside of the legal community, and as such, her rates are astronomical. Unless these women are wealthy, I don't understand how they hire her.
@Tchotchke: I don't know anything about the other women, but I do know that Rachel Uchitel comes from a sleekly wealthy New York family, and likely has considerable financial resources that she can call upon when needed.
@weese17: I don't think it's need attorneys. I think it's more like, "Drop seven figures into my bank account or I start talking." And having Gloria Allred on their team makes that threat realistic and costly.
@weese17: I understand and totally share your cynicism. But I also know with grim certainty that if I were publicly implicated in this shitstorm (regardless of whether I wanted the publicity or not), I would be retaining the best lawyer I could afford. The potential for slander and defamation is unthinkably high, and it's understandable to want to protect oneself against that.
Frankly, I think they'd be foolish not to be getting sound legal advice.
I don't know why Garrison Keillor gets to be an expert on humor. Having been subjected to both, I can say with complete authority that A Prairie Home Companion is about as hilarious as a root canal with a folksy dentist.
@Yahtzii: I actually thought it was a pretty sweet quote. I feel like so many people involved in "old media" (totally tongue and cheek phrase) like books and radio are bitter about the ubiquity of the internet- the fact that he seems to appreciate what it offers, even as competition, seemed pretty cute to me.
@SunburnedCounsel: You're right. My knee-jerk reaction to Garrison Keillor is resentment, because the whole of public radio (including him) seem to revere him as a font of wisdom and humor, but it seems he has a point.
Now that it's free, Kim's wig is a shoo-in for Bret Michael's new show: Rock of Love: Hairpieces. Can't wait to see it hook up with his bandana in the hot tub.
Is there something with the name Holly and porn stars/Playboy bunnies? I love that name and always associate it with my childhood babysitter, but recently every lady I hear about with that name rocks some serious implants and clear plastic platforms.
I know Kanye's a raging narcissist, but that was pretty awesome of him to a) thank all the people who worked on the album and b) give a shout-out to other albums, including the album that inspired him. Classy, actually. He's such an odd guy; his insanely contradictory behavior seems real, not faked. After his short film with Spike Jonze, though, I will love him forever. Animatronic Kanye-creature? Genius.
@BinderClip: I have to agree, especially because he said the THE MISEDUCATION OF LAURYN HILL was his inspiration. I love that album, and I'm glad that he gave a shout out to a female artist. I think that's cool.
@BinderClip: Because Kanye being an asshole, doesn't negate from the fact that he's an artist. He can be humble when the moment calls for it, and in this case, he definitely has a lot of people to thank that got him where he is. Especially his mother, who kept him in check when she was alive.
When I think of a Butterscotch Stallion, I think of a man dressed in chartreuse robes, sexing up the local ladies and leaving butterscotch candies on their pillows. Oh, and he rides a horse.
@ElleL: For some reason, Altoid Astronaut just makes me think of farts (I think I associate altoids with Tums), and Vince Vaugn blasting into space on the strength of his gas.
I'm concerned-Kanye seems to have adopted the dreaded Sarah Palin Also. NOT TO MENTION THE CONTINUED YELLING, BUT I GUESS I SHOULD BE USED TO THAT BY NOW.

Her life was meant for RHofAtl!
Maybe Nene and Kim can do some cross cultural stunt casting on Jersey Shore.
It would restore my faith in humanity if that could happen.

I miss Lauryn Hill. Where is L Boogie?!

Hogwash! No one can elude The Mayer's charms. He's the pied piper for vaginas.
