I want him to read Chaucer to me while I lick him like a lollypop.

I really need to check that inner dialog.

That Stellan is a ringer for Rocco Ritchie.

That, and I want the old Jennifer Connelly back. She was so beautiful before, especially whilst pregnant with Stellan!

I agree that we shouldn't judge women based on their appearances or say snide comments, but when someone is obviously unhealthy, I find it ridiculous that we're all supposed to just think it, but not say it. Seriously. I understand not saying "What a skinny bitch" - that's rude and unfair. But to say "She doesn't look well" should not be banned. Because she doesn't and I think most of us think so. And quite frankly, I'm worried for her.

paul bettany looks so incredibly different here from the way i'm used to seeing him...he looks more like jason lewis with a crewcut.

oh, who cares - he's a luscious hunk of a man and
he would make me blush in a chair
he could kiss me anywhere....

I saw Paul Bettany & son in the Salt Lake City airport. I then had to spend the rest of the week-long trip explaining to my family who Paul Bettany was, and why he is awesome. I finally had to narrow it down to the Albino Monk from the DaVinci Code. My family needs to watch more non-mainstream films.

UG! Jennifer Connolly, Paul Bettany, and puppy dog, did you NOT watch ANTM Last night? Tyra CLEARLY said that you should interact with the camera. You are so lucky that your child understands this, or else Nigel Barker would show his epic disdain.

@lilbobbytables needs sweet whisky: It is very much like that photo shoot! Jennifer Connolly obviously needs to lie on the ground in front of her son and prop her body up. Then she must look at the camera with intensity. None of that holding back stuff.

@MoreFunThanToast: You might want to be careful about making remarks about weight. It's frowned on here and usually results in disemvowling and disapproving comments. (See above.)

I can tell you didn't mean to be snarky about it and that's why I thought I would let you know.

On another note: I would like to virtually pet the puppy too!

Can I ask a question? Why do are commenters disemvoweled for talking about her appearance in a feature that is just photos of famous people and called "Snap Judgment"? If you are going to present an image of someone and use the word judgment, that is what will happen. What is the point otherwise? It's just as much of a judgment to talk about how wonderful and lovely they all are. And also boring and weirdly sycophantic.

@Cafezinha: But what else is supposed to happen when one posts a photo of celebrities on a blog and titles the entry "Snap Judgment"? The title ITSELF is asking commenters to weigh in with their immediate thoughts based on a snapshot.

@anonanimal: OK, if I'm underestimating the American blog-reading populace (and I don't think I am), tell me how people honestly do react when they're presented with a photo of a celebrity and asked to make a snap judgment? "Oh, how lovely, I am so happy that these deserving people are bestowed with fame and riches?" REALLY?!?

@hearmeroar: OK, so this:

"Characteristics of a good comment:

•Insight/additional information

•Intelligent critique

•Wit/humor

•Calm, courteous, reasoned disagreement, either with the opinions/facts presented in a post itself or with other commenters

•Sharing of relevant, personal anecdote (within reason)"

How could anyone possibly apply any of these things to a photo of a famous person and the title "Snap Judgment"? No one has explained that to me. I think this is really disingenuous.

@AlannaBanana: I'm not saying that we should get on our knees and worship the ground they walk on, but witty commentary is always the best. The point of these photos is to spark a constructive conversation. It's always refreshing to see how other people view photographs.

I'd like to think that the people who comment on Jezebel are part of different community. We don't snark and actually, some people who comment on this site are not American.

@anonanimal: I don't know, it just seems to me that if Jezebel is going to support the paparazzi culture by propagating its photographs of celebrities, the editors shouldn't act scandalized when people respond they way they tend to respond to these sorts of images.

I'm not saying I want to be allowed to say nasty things--I'm saying I find this policy hypocritical.

@AlannaBanana: Also, FWIW, a friend was recently on the subway with Jennifer Connelly and said she looked rather ill, thin, and unhappy. So that commenters would also note her clearly tiny frame doesn't seem too outrageous.

@AlannaBanana: I understand. But most of the time, none of these photos are outrageous. They're just candide, "we're boring doing nothing" kind of photos and everyone tries to spice them up a bit.

I understand that the phrase, "Snap Judgment" would imply a quick, undeveloped remark, but it's just a little title. I mean, I'm trying to think of another title it could go under, but they all sound lame.

I met an Australian Shepherd once. BEAUTIFUL dog, crazy soft coat, and oh my god did he need to be exercised to exhaustion daily. They're smart and full of ideas of their own, and they NEEEEED lots of time and space to run and run and run.

If you'd like to adopt an Aussie, make sure they get a TON of exercise and playtime. They're herding dogs, and they need something to do if you don't want them to get bored and possibly destructive. They're also REALLY strong for their size, and UTTERLY adorable.

(Okay. Enough PSA. Carry on.)

@tscheese: I think I would enjoy a dog like that, especially in my current non-employment. I can only clean the house so many times, so I'm currently taking hours-long walks everyday, just to stay busy and happy.

COME RUN WITH ME, PUPPEH.
