Okay Blake, I understand anyone can feel powerless in high school, but feeling powerless because you had long, blonde hair? What kind of high school did you go to, because at my high school long, blonde hair = power. #lindsaylohan

@yvanehtnioj: She inherited an estate from her father, I assume. I hope she has someone to help her manage that. And as someone who has spent time around entertainment industry people, not having a credit card or cash on them isn't uncommon. The business manager or a travel agent probably made her reservation then she was left without a means to fix whatever problem arose. #lindsaylohan

@cand86: Yes -- most librarians and staff who work at an urban library or a university library can tell you stories that will have you wearing a Hazmat suit in the stacks.

As an example: A friend of mine who works in an inner-city "downtown" library tells tales of a prostitute who has staked out the library as her "turf" and does a booming trade in the mens' room.

She does donate generously to the Friends of the Library though, maybe as a franchise fee?

"I've never been able to chop a Jaffa Cake in half and just eat one piece"

What? A "jaffa cake" is a tiny lowfat cookie! I've just looked it up and each one only has 46 calories. Do people actually chop them up and only eat a piece? I am shocked, this is craziness!! #lindsaylohan

@applejuice: I really am genuinely surprised that this is her big example of why her product is needed as "compulsory portion control".

I could understand referencing cheesecake or something, or saying "I always eat a whole handful of jaffa cakes" but thinking ONE is too much just blows my mind.

And this is probably why there is no chance in hell that I will ever remotely look like Liz Hurley. #lindsaylohan

"I was very sequestered, as you know, when I first started out and if I were just allowed to be young and with a young boyfriend who's also a star and you know, you're working and you're both — I don't know what goes on," she says. "You know what I mean? So it's like, I wasn't really allowed out of the house, so I can't imagine what she went through." That's very, you know, eloquent, you know Mariah. I just wish I knew what you were trying to, you know, say. #lindsaylohan

@marciax3: That's odd. What I got from her less-than-eloquent statement was that when she was that age she wasn't allowed to live such a free existence without adult guidance/supervision. She was sheltered, and not given carte blanche to have a serious boyfriend that she, essentially, lived with when not traveling for work. That's what I took away from what she was saying. #lindsaylohan

@marciax3: Not to be nitpicky, but Mariah married at 24, she wasn't in a serious relationship at 18. No one is denying that she married and divorced her (older) boss, or that he built her a mansion. What she is saying is that she was working and trying to get a break in the music business at the age of 17 (Rihanna actually signed with Jay-Z at 16). She wasn't already successful, with a successful boyfriend. Yes, the Honey video may be symbolic of her relationship, but it has nothing to do with what she is trying to say. I'm not trying to read too much into what she is saying, but all I took from it was that she didn't have that same experience as Rihanna, and didn't really know how to go about answering that question.

Er, sorry to be the South African in the ointment, but Winnie Madikizela-Mandela is a horrible woman who has been involved in terrible violence and fraud.

@chinaplate: I agree about Winnie Mandela's horribleness, but that doesn't necessarily mean she would be a bad character to play or someone not worth being portrayed in film. If they portray her in purely a positive light (and we have no way of knowing one way or the other because we haven't seen a script) that's a problem. A complex and honest film would include all that. #jenniferhudson

@ShanaElmsford:
I just feel that she does not deserve to be mythicised, in any light, in the mainstream Western consciousness. Her petty evilness is too banal to be made into the material of an epic designed to entertain Americans and their down-time cash.

Moreover, Hollywood has an absolutely appalling track record of making films about Africa (see District 9, Blood Diamond) and I have only fear and trepidation that this film will be hackneyed and offensive.

If it ever has to be made, let South Africans tell their own story. This isn't the kind of material that should ever be twisted into 'entertainment value'. #jenniferhudson

@chinaplate: Well, once again, I haven't seen a script, so I can't judge what they're going for. Winnie Mandela and her petty evilness had a front seat to history and therefore any film about South Africa's history would have to include her. It's not necessarily some honor to her. I would hope the film would include the more controversial aspects of her story mostly because I don't think Americans or Europeans even know about that and if it did, I doubt it would be "entertainment value." If it's some hackneyed, inspirational film, then that's a problem. If it's an honest and complex account of the history (amphasis on honest), then that's something else. I'm not going to judge a film before it's even made. #jenniferhudson

There are plenty of cultures in which stealing other people's stories is, at best, extremely bad manners and, at worst, totally taboo. I think there's good reason for that. #jenniferhudson
