Why are the tabloids so invested in Taylor squared? They've been dating, for what, a couple of months and they are both still in their teens. They are obviously not about to get married. Give it a rest.
I really have no sympathy for him. I have sympathy for Britney Spears because photographers would surround her car so she couldn't drive and sue her when she ran over their feet, all while having a mental crisis. I have sympathy for stars who's babies have cameras shoved in their strollers. I have no sympathy for people who are having their pictures taken at their movie premiers. None.
@curiousgeorgiana: I don't know. I've got sympathy for anyone who has people shouting "you're so boring" at them. Seems like a legitimate thing to be irritated by.
@Snowbunny: In his defense, Twilight wasn't as huge as it is now when he signed on. He didn't really know what he was in for. I feel sympathy for anyone who can't leave his hotel room or has to walk around in disguise because thousands of teenage girls are stalking him. Once he got hit by a car because of them! Given the choice of paparazzi or lovesick teenagers, I'd pick paparazzi.
@madeofawesome: It wasn't as monstrously massive, true, but it still had quite a large following. He also did a Harry Potter movie. I love these movies, don't get me wrong, but when you sign on for a franchise popular with teens and pre-teens, certain insanities are expected.
I read the Brad Pitt item as though he were fighting off Asians in the Bermuda triangle. I was confused, and then I read it again. Maybe I should go back to bed.
@morninggloria: Maybe its some sort of conspiracy theory movie about a lost Japanese super weapon from WWII that has been causing the Bermuda Triangle.
Did her job brilliantly? Her job doesn't involve showing up on time or not making dozens of people with lives and other projects rearrange their schedules to suit her mania?
It's sort of interesting the way Diane Kruger's claim of unsophistication quietly echoes Kate Beckinsale's comment that she still feels horribly awkward and homely. The cynic in me wants to scoff at the idea that either of them should feel insecure about anything, but oddly enough, I actually think both women are being as honest as they are able.
I think the way people perceive you can sometimes be mind-bogglingly different from the way you perceive yourself. And for women who are in the public eye, this goes double. And there's this strange fucking phenomenon that there are strangers all over the world who have ideas and expectations about who you are and how you should feel about yourself. And none of it actually has any relation to your own sense of identity or self-worth. You're told you're beautiful, stunning, sexy, ravishing, but I imagine it can genuinely ring a little hollow when it's being commodified, and when you know how fucking haggard you look at 6 in the morning. And no matter how widely-travelled and well-educated you are, you'll always know people who seem far more accomplished and sophisticated than you'll ever, ever be. No one ever wins that race.
I dunno. I mean, I know I'm not saying anything radically insightful here, but still. Weird.
@A Small Turnip: And then you know they do all this stuff to your pictures before they print them which means they had to "fix" all the stuff about you they thought was broken. Yeah, that's probably good for the ego, especially if you were an awkward child and have that baggage.
people get pregnant in this day and age the same way they got pregnant back when you were in your teens.
i'm not going to comment about your declarations about jude law, either. perhaps now your granddaughter understands the basics about birth control and condom usage, but it's a shame nobody explained it to her years ago.
VF would likely have gotten letters either way, but I would have loved to see Mad Men get a cover. Blurgh. I mean, we've heard a lot about Michael Jackson (less about Farrah). But I understand why they did it, and will buy the issue for the Mad Men, and probably read at least some of the Farrah-MJ stuff.
I'm almost finished with Julie & Julia now, and I kind of hate it. I mean, it's an interesting story, but she's an incredibly whiny lush - This is SO HARD. I need VODKA. Oh, how do I cook and go to work HUNG OVER. My mom is CRAZY. I'm turning into MY MOM.
I'll see the movie, but I don't think I want to read anything else from her.
@electricbubbles: I wasn't crazy about it either; I just read it this summer, right after My Life In France, and the contrast was like a slap in the face. I was really bothered by the air of, "OMG, we're just two babies who can't do anything right! I'm so incompetent! Awful apartment! Terrible commutes! Job suckitude!" Just...fucking...don't live in New York if you're going to bitch about it; quit your job, act like a grownup. I hate when women's noisy incompetence is rewarded. The rest of us are really working hard and trying to prove we really are adult and competent, and somehow there's no book-and-movie deal at the end of that. I agree; I'm skipping anything else she writes.

I wish I could muster up more sympathy for the guy-- it must be hard being famous overnight, but jeebus. He makes it hard.

She seriously did though, we were in Munich and she drank a gallon of beer and fell in a plant. I laughed so hard I almost fainted.
