I'm sad to admit I know this, but the True Jackson line kind of makes sense. It's a TV show about a teenage girl who gets hired as a VP of a fashion company which makes pretty inoffensively non-descript high fashion. Greg Proopst plays her boss and my step-sister watches it religiously.
Perez Hilton regularly calls women skanks and hos without any legal repercussions, and yet this woman goes to court to try to uncover the anonymous blogger who did exactly the same thing - and now she is free to sue the anon blogger for defamation? Is there something I'm missing?
@heykoukla: I think the sole purpose of the blog that she was suing about was to defame her. Perez goes after lots of women (and men). I think this blog was just about the model in question.
I dont understand why people were so critical of Cohen's lawsuit. She wasn't suing web commentators or a general celebrity blogger, she was suing someone who made a site specifically to insult, criticize and harass her. It consisted of no news, just photos of her with vicious insults.
It's not like suing some guy for catcalling you, it's like suing some guy who was stalking and threatening you for several months.
@Katxyz: Well, I didn't say a blogger was stalking or threatening her. I drew a comparison to show a degree of a damage, hence the "its not like X, it's like Y." Reading comprehension, please.
So, what now, I can sue all the people who called me a bitch/skank/etc. on the internet. Come on. Grow some thicker skin. People will call you names/talk about you in front of your face and behind your back. It's what people do. Most of us have done it.
@Evie Havok: So, if there was an entire blog dedicated to shadowing your movements and calling you a fucking slut/whore/cunt, and it was the first thing that came up when someone (family, future lovers, future employers) googled your name, you'd be ok with that?
I once had to get a judge to order an ISP to reveal who had sent anonymous hate filled material to my then company. Unfortunately, even with the order, we were only able to trace them to an internet café. Although we had our suspicions who had sent them, there was not enough evidence to sue them but the e-mails did stop.
I don't know, I think Mark Dacascos has a good shot on the show. I'm pretty sure he has martial arts training, and I'd think that would help give him a leg up, as it were, in dance as well.
Also, am I the only one who remembers when he was on the TV series version of The Crow? Anyone else? And Brotherhood of the Wolf, mm.
@exhubris: Yes, Mr. Dacascos is a martial artist. And very graceful and beautiful and swooooon :-) Yes, I remember The Crow and Brotherhood of the Wolf, most fondly.

@Eleanor Ramilly: It doesn't have to be that way. Your life does change and you see things differently because you're in charge of another person's well being and that's intense, but you don't have to lose yourself. It takes time to find that balance and it's easy to just chalk up unhappiness to being part of the before and after thing when it's really something you can change.
It makes me mad to see moms talk about not being the same person because I think it sets up this expectation that we should be totally different people. I'm not. I can't always put myself first, but that doesn't mean I'm not first sometimes.
Does the fact that they are filming more scenes for "Homes" bother anyone else? Because isn't that what they do for bad movies? (reshoot, reshoot, reshoot)
I am definitely going to see it (duh, RDJ!) but I was hoping there was something else there besides the eye candy.

"Get thicker skin" doesn't really work when people are barraging you with insults on a regular basis.

That concept scares me and is one of the reasons I don't want to have kids.
Not sure why though, the current me isn't really that great.
