Cate Blanchett and I have something in common! Actually, that's why I only vacuum every once in a while -- so there's more of the satisfying noise of things being sucked up.
Also, I want to know which song(s) specifically Carrie Fisher is talking about.
@happymisanthrope: Yeah, you have to take Wikipedia as Wikipedia. But the "Graceland" entry says "The lyrics deal with the singer's thoughts during a road trip to Graceland after the failure of his marriage to actress and author Carrie Fisher." I'm guessing it's the lyric, "She comes back to tell me she's gone / As if I didn't know that / As if I didn't know my own bed / As if I never noticed the way she brushed her hair from her forehead", etc.
Per Patrick Swayze: AWESOME. And Arabians are such amazing horses for children, too. They're usually pretty small (many not much bigger than large ponies) and their dispositions are incredible.
I want to believe that Zachary Quinto would be safe from being rabidly chased down the street by me. I'm 99% sure it would be the case, yet I can't totally commit.
@SomeAuthorGirl: I cannot make that claim. I don't know if I would chase him down the street in a "run for your life!" type way, or a stalkery, 3 steps behind him trying to get a glimpse type way.
@Le Kangourou de Kataroo: It's a close thing. I was never a Trek fan that thought Spock was sexy. Not that I don't love Nimoy - otherwise would be a sacrilege - but ummmmmm, dude is seriously the hotness.
@sybann: Well, half the Daily Express' staff still seem to be working on Princess Diana conspiracy theories, so they don't have the resources to come up with any other stories.
While I agree with Cate Blanchette about how good the sound feels, I feel disgusting after because I was living in crunchy filth and didn't vacuum until now.
@Ulookinatmyjunk, JOC: Huh, my reaction was the complete opposite: that it was a lot less plausible that she hit the back windshield of his car as he drove away, (a moving car would be REALLY tough to connect with hard enough to damage) or that she scratched his lips. Also, I am more entertained by the thought of her being a hero than a crazy jealous wife.
@harperleebowitz: But would you smash open the back window of a car to get your husband out of the driver's seat?
Edited: Grrrr, I've been trying not to add to the speculation - there's two kids involved here - and first post of the day and I've failed, already. Damn.
@heykoukla: It's okay, it was my first reaction as well. Was the accident so bad that she couldn't open any of the 4 doors to the car? It's an SUV. I cannot imagine dragging a potentially injured person over all of those seats and out the back window.
Who knows though-- I don't like going with TMZ ;o). I hope he's okay, and I hope it isn't anything more than gossip.
@harperleebowitz: It's definitely going to be interesting. I mean Tiger Woods is the most famous athlete in the world. I can see ET and The Insider going in to work early to make packages as we speak.
@harperleebowitz: I'm entertained by the fact that she was chasing Tiger Woods around with a golf club. Poetic justice? Irony? I don't know.
Domestic squabbles are not funny, but if this was somehow reworked as a skit on SNL or if Dave Chappelle did an impression of Tiger running from the house, I would laugh heartily. But of course, I must think of the children (wrenches open shirt and beats chest mercilessly)...will somebody just think of the children!!!
@pinkcrickets: Maybe she punched him and split his lip? Or smacked him and scratched his face and lips? It's more likely than scratching your lips on the steering wheel.
Oh, speculation. I really should work for TMZ. I've been wanting to replace the black chick on the show anyway.
Sidenote: "Bust Your Windows" by Jazmine Sullivan is now playing in my head.
so, photography is a new art medium, but artists have been in LOVE with depictions of death since cavemen drew on walls. renaissance art is chock full of it - and it's shocking, stunning, arresting. women look like they have no agency, but they make beautiful (submission, dainty, obedient, pure, religious) corpses. talking about art using death to create heightened emotion is absolutely *nothing* new... the *kind* of death the slideshow demonstrates here is a whole nother question. are we uncomfortable with death in art period, or just violent crime death? #deadmodels
@miss.terious: I think we're uncomfortable with death being used to flog us a dress or a pair of boots.
Fashion photography is not art, not in the strictest sense, because it has a commericial endevour beyond trying to sell you the image itself - it's trying to get you to pony up your hard earned cash for an item.
I don't care about depictions of death in art; I care when the violent murder of a woman is seen as a good way to get me to buy a new pair of jeans. #deadmodels
@jenrobe: Since when did works of art begin losing artistic value due to their intrinsic commercial motivations?
The frescos of the Sistine Chapel were only commissioned to attract more visitors and feed the Pope's sense of grandeur. Even Michelangelo resented his work there, but hey, he needed the money.
@FADviral: I think that could well be a good argument, that the Sistine Chapel was a commercial work, although it had a religious context and was created arguably by someone who believed in that faith.
However, Michelangelo was pissed about the commission because he was already working on sculptures for the Pope's tomb, not because he hated the church. And then he demanded to be able to do the work the way his vision told him to, not according to what the Church initially invisaged.
I didn't mean to suggest they lost their "artistic" value, but that there is clearly a divide between a work being created for its own self (art for art's sake) and to sell stuff. #deadmodels
#1 is kind of funny, death by roller skating around a mansion is ridiculous enough to not be gruesome. Just about everything else made me squirm though. #deadmodels
I guess no one ever told the photographers that at some point every photographer shoots a dead girl in couture and thinks they're a freaking genius for 15 minutes. #deadmodels

It was shattered before he ever took off, because she took an iron to it and probably also tried smashing some other windows.
If this story is true, he got off easily.

There is a window right next to the steering wheel...

Mr. LaComtesse (who went to HS with her for a bit): Yeah, you played hockey. You were terrible at it. It was a joke.

They're hilarious and awk and funny and intriguing.
Why yes, I do have a morbid fascination with death and crime scenes, how funny you should ask.
Also, I really like the K-Fed slasher pic for the laugh factor. #deadmodels
