    There are going to be so many papers written on this show and how it encapsulates everything that is wrong with reality television.

    Two thoughts: 1. The first screencap of Jon's "I'm a five year old who just crapped my pants" expression is priceless. 2. He's 32?! I thought he was about 42 and just pretending to be in his thirties.

    You know those phone calls between Gosselin's manager and Michael Lohan were just Michael trying to get John some help! He cares about him and knows he needs rehab.

    Meh, I don't share the Jake Gyllenhaal love, Natalie. Not that I expect anyone here to agree ( I know there's a lot of love here for Jake G), but he gives off the same dead-eye vibe that Tom Cruise does.

    @ Diziet_Sma: gotcha. And I can admit it. As a person, he can come across a bit milk-toasty.

    I, WM, hereby admit that I watch the terribly-named Cougar Town.

    I was sucked in because of it being placed after Modern Family. Good move, ABC.

    Yes, it has a grown up Monica Geller, but it also has Busy Philipps, Christa Miller, and the excellent Dan Byrd. So there.

    Kirk Cameron was presenting at UCLA? I thought people of his ilk only preached to the choir, operating in a complete echo chamber. Hence the reason why his best piece of evidence for creationism is the croco-duck.

    Hey. So I was going to comment on Nicole Kidman's obvious lip enhancement on display at the AMA's the other day when I noticed that someone had been disemvoweled for doing exactly that. How is commenting on Gyllenhaal's nose any different? Not that I mind, because I really don't see how saying "it looks like [famous person] got work done" is particularly harmful, but it seems like a double standard.

    @eatsshootsleaves: I gots to agree, I don't think calling someone out for either horrible or really noticeable plastic surgery is body snarking, there was a choice involved. Ms. Kidman has three lips now and looks NOTHING like she used to, its also painful ot see her in movies now trying to show emotion when half her face doesn't move. Isn't it disingenuous to pretend we don't notice?

    @eatsshootsleaves: I think it might depend what you say about it. I've seen people point out work, and we certainly are all excited about Amy's boobs. Maybe they said something body snarky when it was pointed out? I hope so, because if not, that is a total double standard.

    @itsonreserve: From what I can make out, she said she was "scared" of Nicole Kidman's artificial-looking lip enhancements. She meant this facetiously. I suppose that could be seen as body snarking, but certainly people have said similar things about hair, make-up, and clothing -- I don't think elective plastic surgery is much different, apart from its permanence. Whether or not you agree, I don't see how saying that it looks like Jake Gyllenhaal changed his nose isn't similar. In both cases, the point of the comment is saying a particular part of someone's body looks fake.

    @maggiethecat: That's not true - anyone saying 'eat a sammich' would definitely get disemvowelled, and if they didn't it would only be because Hortense didn't see it. If you ever see those kind of comments, you can email her to draw her attention to it. As for threads deteriorating into name-calling, same thing - tell Hortense.

    @eatsshootsleaves: I'm not sure if reconstructing a disemvowelled comment is wise. I'd say that fake or not, those lips are still part of her face. Talking about body parts as scary is not a helpful or kind way of talking about women.

    @eatsshootsleaves: I dunno, if someone said to you "Your face scares me" would you be insulted?

    It's harmful because it encourages the notion that, as women, all our worth is wrapped up in our appearance; whether a woman is deemed attractive or not becomes the first thing to say about her - isn't there anything else one can say about Nicole Kidman? It makes you think before you comment and most people like coming here because the comments are more interesting and thoughtful as a result.

    So the person had no clue who Miley was but they knew enough to think to call page six?

    And James Earl Jones, as someone who is embarrassed by older people having sex, I completely agree with you that it should be dealt with and not just dispensed with. It is a ridiculous feeling - although to be fair, for the most part anyone having sex embarrasses me.
