Channeling all my rage about a person into the way he points when he says "skewer" seems like something I would definitely do. I might be insane, but I relate to Khloe.
the reality of Tiger's situation is that save for a sponsor like AT&T, the demo is MALE and most males think he is "the shit" for having a hot wife and performing all these shenanigans.
My father, a notorious philanderer said to me "you don't get to be the #1 golfer without it allowing you some perks and maybe his wife was ok with it, I mean, look at all the money she can spend because of him"
Yeah, thanks DAD! nothing's changed. sometimes I hate my genetic origins.
@Scout: I sort of agree with this -- the whole Tiger thing is about men, golf and money... and only women (or "nice guys") think what he did was wrong... his sponsors will be back.
Go Corporate America! Shlubby guys in golfing shirts!
@Scout: I am really not sure that 'most males' think it's great. Maybe I'll give you one or two flings on the side. But this behavior is just weird. Also, a lot of the things he reps (or rep'ed) are brands like Accenture or Tag Hauer that value their reputations for steadiness and perseverance, which he doesn't seem to have excesses of.
@LazyHippo: agreed. i neglect to remember that some companies do have a long standing "platform" and that is isn't just about the more prevalent male demo.
My kingdom for a horse to violently trample Spencerius Rex, and his prospective stable of arteests, including Her Majesty of Play-Doh, so that we never ever, ever hear from them again.
@JerkoftheMonth is changing her name!: Bonnie is short for Yvonne. My friend's mother legally changed her name from Yvonne to Bonnie since she was so used to being called Bonnie.
@Little Time Bomb: I know the name Bonnie isn't necessarily a diminutive but I've know three women named Yvonne and they've all gone by Bonnie. Anecdotal, yes, but it seems more than coincidence.
@JerkoftheMonth is changing her name!: Vebonica. I had an aunt named Veronica that we called Ronnie, and my mom's name is Bonnie, so I figured it was short for Vebonica.

Dear Santa, All I want for Christmas is for the Jake and Reese story to be true. And then, for a stocking stuffer, can you not make them divorce, so that us heteros don't make a mockery, yet again, out of the sanctity of marriage?
I continue to watch with interest at the reactions whenever I hear that famous/celebrity men used to be involved in sex work. First Al Pacino, now Eli Roth . . . I just always get that inkling feeling in the back of my mind that there'd be a whole lot more hulabaloo if the same things were reported about celebrity women.
@LucilleMcGillicuddy: Kanye may be an ass, and Taylor didn't deserve to have her speech ruined. But I don't remember anyone getting pissed off when Tim Commerford (sp?) from Rage bumrushed Limp Bizkit's show. Or when Adam Yauch interrupted REM. Is it because they interrupted men? Because they're white and Kanye isn't (probably not the case here, but I'm sure it is for some people out there)? Is it because people hate Limp Bizkit, and because Yauch was in lederhosen?
And honestly, while I do feel bad for Taylor and don't think she deserved to have her night ruined, why do all rock and rap stars have to be nice? I like that some of them are assholes! Nice and rock and roll don't go together!
PS-This could probably be worded better, I just got home from a booze filled work Xmas party.
I must be wearing the wrong kind of vintage/eccentric hat because every time I don one the strangest people come up to talk to me and I assure you, they have nothing interesting to say. Or, if it's a particularly furry hat, random strangers decide it's OK to pet it/me.
Can't I express my haberdasherlove without it being interpreted as peacocking? Times like that I wish I had poison darts at the ready.
@TransFat: You love vintage hats all you want. I can't judge: I love vintage wigs. Unfortunately, society just isn't ready to bring them back at all...
Hey Mr. DJ, how exactly did Rihanna throw Chris Brown-- who brutally assaulted her-- under the bus? On second thought, don't answer that. I'm perfectly content thinking you are an asshole.
For some reason, no matter how much I hear/see about Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhall, I STILL don't believe they are together. Whenever I come across something about them together, it registers in my brain as a tabloid rumor...even though they've been together for a few years. My brain won't process it
@jemandtheholograms: I agree. I laughed when I read "Reese is a traditional sort of lady..." but then I remembered lavender marriages were once considered sort-of traditional.
@Bettiespork: Also, not to nit-pick but she did get pregnant with her first child prior to her marriage to Ryan Phillipe. While children out of wedlock are a long standing tradition, not sure if that's what the comment "traditional lady" meant.
(ps: I don't actually care that she had her child before she was married, just a surprising/funny fact to me)
@jemandtheholograms: That's how I felt about Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. I thought it was all lies until she was like 8th months pregnant. It just seemed really made up to me.
