I...I can't even allow myself to realize Portman was kidding.
Even in a joke, Gyllenhaal will never be ugly. I saw a preview for their new movie last night, and the whole time I was like, "Jake...Gyllenhaal...mmmmm....Jake......Gyllenhaal....MMMM!" My boyfriend got very uncomfortable.
I can't promise Kate will be more receptive in the future, but at least you won't be presenting with openly inappropriate flowers. Everyone knows, red roses mean: LOVE. I'm pretty sure that's not the msg you wanted to convey.
@FurrierAndIves: Hmm, makes me wonder why my prom date really got me a lily all those years ago...and here I had just been figuring that it was because she was from the Netherlands.
@ketamineKitty: You, too, can talk like Juliette - just purchase a Church-endorsed L.Ron Memorial VoxBlend-O-Rama for the low, low, price of $499.99. Runs on Thetan juice.
It's a pretty well-known fact that the celebrities of Scientology get treated like royalty, while the rest are merely peons, Juliette. Celebrities in Scientology have the $$$, so they don't have to quit their job, get one with the Scientologists, and then devote their entire lives to earning enough money to take courses. Then, the regular folks are trapped because they can't leave without a job and money...Thanks for stopping in and ensuring that we know you're just as ignorant as the rest of them.
@JinxyMcDeath: B-b-b-but she's in the know, because she did courses! She's not allowed to tell you what the courses were about, or what they taught her about life, or how exactly they changed her, - you know, the rules of Scientology and all that. But you should just take her word for it, she's no blind follower.
@JinxyMcDeath: I was walking in the Upper (East? West? I can't actually remember) Side on my first week in New York, and ran across the Scientology Celebrity Center. I had no idea such a place actually existed. I wanted to take a picture of the sign, but I figured they have cameras that tell them who does that, and they'd send someone to my apartment to delete the photo. So I didn't. But I'm still shocked that the place exists. And has a sign.
Does Amy *not* realize a nose job will change her voice? She's nuts to mess with anything in her face. Singers shouldn't even get their teeth fixed if they want to keep their sound.
@Tambar: I was wondering about that. I've never heard of nose jobs changing a singers voice/style, but it makes sense.
And (when she's healthy) Amy is so lovely.
I've known so many people with noses similar to Amy's who have had surgery to get that Hollywood-standard-Angelina Jolie-nose.
And all of them were gorgeous before surgery. And unique in a wonderful, beautiful way.
Sigh...I'm so discouraged by this trend of people having surgery so that they can look like everyone else. And by everyone else, I mean everyone else who has had certain cosmetic surgeries.
I understand the impulse. I just wish that self-acceptance would win over the desire to conform.
@Santos L Halper: Oh he looks downright classy for some of the courtroom attire I've seen. They're lucky everyone in Family Court shows up wearing pants.
Witness at a murder trial showed up with hip hugger jeans showing off her c-section scars and a t-shirt that said "I'm not a bitch, I'm THE bitch." By comparison, Jon Gosselin is a classy MoFo
@CynicalPink: Father showed up in Juvenile Court trying to regain parental rights with a cannibis leaf earring dangling from his ear. I didn't notice it until we were already in front of the bench. Valuable lesson learned--never under-estimate the stupidity of my clients.
@midwesternmom: Not quite as bad, but a couple months ago my opposing counsel in a products liability case came to court in a super-casual shirtdress and flip-flops.
@Maritsa: I just watched a woman argue in our state Supreme Court wearing a flowing ankle-length cotton peasant skirt and a long-sleeved jersey top. I would have snorted in outrage, but I was wearing hose for the first time in over two years and I could not draw a deep breath.
The best part of that day was noticing that one of the female justices lets her curly hair fly free. I may never straighten my curls for an argument again.
@MzSeJ: Instructed? No, but the other women in my office are very critical of my wild curls. Which are conditioned and styled and under control. When my hair was long the curl was pulled into waves, but now that it is short again, it is very curly. And on a non-court day I don;t see clients, so I go to work in jeans and curls. Of course, these women started practicing when women wore little floppy bow ties to court, so their idea of acceptable might be warped.
My 4 year old cousin once kicked me in the shins. He then ripped up some of my grandmother's camillias and presented them to me as a token of his apology.
@DutchessOfDork: I think she was joking, as it's patently obvious that no one on the planet thinks he's ugly. And judging by that recent interview he did with her (he was the interviewer, she the subject) they seem to be colleagues who respect one another and get along very well. Can't remember the magazine or I'd post a link.
I love celebrity profiles in the Guardian, because instead of starting ladymag style ("Even tinier in the flesh, Fabrizia Del Amore turns a flawless face towards me as she shoves down fries: "Yoga fulfills me.", she intones in a husky mezzo") they always start with unflattering surprise that the topic of their own profile is not completely stupid.
And I hate it when people judge guys on on their size. As I don't want anyone judging me on the size of my assets, I don't think its fair to judge a guy on his.
@Sputnik_Sweetheart: Yeah, I just edited it. I completely misread. I thought you were telling her to look in a mirror (ie calling her ugly). Sorry about that. Where's my coffee??
@Sputnik_Sweetheart: Is it really "judging" though? It's not like judging a girl on something arbitrary, like her cup size. It serves an actual purpose, sensation-wise.
@AlmostDream: I think guys would argue that the feel of breasts serves a pleasure purpose as well.
I think it's fine to "prefer" something (like green eyes for example). But I get weird just outright judging a person based on a physical attribute beyond their control.
@curiousgeorgiana: Yar, if a guy said he cared about breast size, I wouldn't necessarily be offended, but I would definitely drop everything and leave.
I suppose Riri is entitled to care about size just for fun, but I think it's a shallow consideration for serious relationships.
@curiousgeorgiana: @whats_in_a_name: If it were so loose that he couldn't be sexually satisfied, or so tight that it was uncomfortable, it's understandable that it would be a significant barrier to a relationship. I don't consider that judging (unless he's making other assumptions about me based on tightness). Sex might not be an important part of a relationship to some, but it doesn't make someone "superficial" if sexual compatibility is important to them.
@AlmostDream: But we were talking about the Rihanna quote, in that making a snap judgment "I would never date a guy smaller than X" is a little unfair.
Of course it makes a difference in the bedroom. And you have to decide if it's something you can work around or not. Sometimes it's not compatible.

p.s. Could you start undressing in your living room instead of your bedroom? My binos only capture half the view.

Side note: I watched Star Trek again last night, and Scotty is one hot piece. Him and Kirk. And Spock, too. Oh Hell.

As much as I love them all... Kirk. Captain Kirk is my favorite in that.
Bones is a close second.
Scotty is cute, though.

Completely agreed on size. I'd slap a guy who commented on the size of my breasts. Same rule for guys.
