Oh, Macy! I understand. As someone who's currently losing weight, growing tits was one gift of fatness I was heartily prepared to accept. BUT ALAS, reversal of fortune is imminent.

For a hot second I thought Mariah lived in North Carolina, and I got excited and thought about what her property gate must look like. We have cool gates here. Then I realized she was talking about her husband. Who the heck calls their partner by their initials? (I realize that now that I've typed this, some Jezebel will respond telling me that they do, in fact, call their partner by their initials, it's the law of internet)
I find the way that the media and people twist Paula Abdul's words disgusting.
There is a BIG difference between being addicted to drugs and using drugs that were prescribe to you to treat a serious spinal cord injury.
She did not have an addiction. She did not go to rehab.
She decided to stop using prescription drugs that were failing her in the treatment of her illness, in doing so she went through withdrawal symptoms.
She is now taking a holistic approach to her injury, using Chiropractic and Acupunctor etc.
It's really not that hard to understand. Not only is it insulting to Paula but to all chronic pain sufferers, to belittle and disrespect not only her illness but her treatment as well.
@Kenyakarma: Paula?? I tease, I tease, don't kill me!
I absolutely agree with you that there is a big difference in being a drug addict, and building up a tolerance for pain meds over time when used for chrnoic pain that lead to some level of withdrawal when you stop taking them.
But, Paula has on numerous occasions publicly and on television appeared to be under the influence of something. We can't know for certain that it was because she was misusing pain pills, but can you really fault people for thinking that? Also, from everything I've read about appropriate pain management, an overwhelming majority of people on proper doses of narcotic pain medication don't get a "high" from it when taking it for legitimate pain. And 2 days ago she publicly announced she had been "addicted to pain pills". Her words, not the media's. I have no doubt her addiction started with legitimate use of the pills for chronic pain, but she was in fact an addict. She did have an addiction.
Is Heidi Montag aware that in the UK, a pratt is someone who talks or acts like a fool? Even worse, according to the BBC it was originally an even older word for "arse". [www.bbc.co.uk]
Thank you for being a shining example of what it means to be a narcissist. Sometimes I need to use people as a reference point for phrases in conversation, and you my friend, are perfect.
I'm in shock that the reporter and the copy editors at The Wall Street Journal do not know the difference between "quaffed" and "coiffed". We're doomed, I tell you. Doomed.
@Diziet_Sma: There are no more copy editors. Seriously. The higher powers at papers are increasingly deciding that they don't do anything and that their jobs can be cut. This is why the WSJ doesn't know the difference between quaffed and coiffed. Because oddly enough copy editors do have a purpose.
@Diziet_Sma: No but they've cut down considerably. The Independent in the UK has all but got rid of them and other papers are heading that way. I too used to be a copy editor hence my despair.
@emilyanne: Well, I guess as people get less literate, there's less of a need for copy editors. It all fits in with my theory that we have recently 'peaked' as a species, and we experiencing the decline of civilization, which started roughly with the invention of the motor car. But, just as we recovered after the first the Dark Ages, we will peak again. At least I like to think so.
