    I can't wait for it to be socially acceptable to admit to smoking weed. No one asks Natalie Portman if she drinks wine. #angelinajolie

    The more Stephanie Meyer quotes I read, the more she scares me.
    Would it be presumptuous to assume Mr. Pattison ought also to be afraid, lest he wake up one morning (or afternoon) covered with sparkles and unable to get away?

    "Leona Lewis has turned down a $1 million offer to pose for Playboy. "
    Is this some sort of rite of passage or something? Every time I read Playboy has made that offer, the celeb in question has turned it down.
    Even in a recession.

    @Rooo sez BISH PLZ: It's a common media pr move for upcoming starlets. You say Playboy offered you an outlandish sum of money to pose but you denied it. It usually generates a minor news story, getting your name out there for a day or two. It also sets up that you must be OMG SO HOT and that you are far too classy and successful to need to pose for Playboy.

    In this case, I have no idea who Leona Lewis is and yet I looked her up. So I guess she wins. #angelinajolie

    Cindy Crawford's "solution" is no solution at all. The runway and haute couture drive the rest of fashion. It's not as simple as "don't buy Chanel" because most of us don't. Chanel doesn't really make its money on the fashion -- it makes its money on make up and perfume and scarves, etc. But the images that Karl Lagerfeld and his cronies create are beamed all over the world and become part of the culture. Not buying Chanel or whatever isn't really going to change that. What will change the unhealthy standards by which girls and women feel judged is for tastemakers to raise their own awareness and design for women, not hangers. #angelinajolie

    @pmarble: It's a pretty classic case of blaming the victims for not fighting more effectively. Sure we could probably make a deeper dent in their pockets if we all spent all of our collective energy on the task, but there's absolutely no indication that they would even care, let alone alter their practices. And either way, the problem still originates with the industry, not us.

    Of course, if Cindy Crawford acknowledged that, she'd have to examine her own complicity in it. #angelinajolie

    @heykoukla: I was thinking exactly that. If women stop buying fashion magazines (which, to be honest, it seems like many have), the first thought by magazine editors won't be "It's because we are promoting unrealistic standards of beauty!" Instead, magazines will likely become more conventional and completely stop taking any risks at all. You can't vote with your wallet because there's nothing to vote for! (Sorry Glamour, your one "plus" sized model isn't going to cut it). #angelinajolie

    That is actually very polite of Vivid to ask her first. In my mind she has a tantrum at them and they accidentally release it with all the royalties going to a Vivid subset which isn't technically affiliated with Vivid and disappears when Prejean tries to sue it. Don't tantrum with porn companies.

Even if she was 18, I think it's horrible and exploitative to release these images that were made for her boyfriend. She's hypocritical, but that doesn't mean that the world needs to see them.

    I remember Jennifer Aniston saying, in interviews, when she and Brad were still together that Brad was ready to start a family, wanted six kids, etc and she was all 'maybe one or two, once I have a movie career started'.

    So, unless Angie's mojo is so powerful she enticed Jen to say that stuff about herself, I'm not so much buying it, Fake Biography Book Writer. #angelinajolie

    @rd2uk: I have to hope (foolishly) that it's pronounced the way it's spelled. I think that if parents spell their kids names strangely, the name should be pronounced as it's spelled. But people don't do that. They really seem to believe that if you spell something funny, it's still the same name. And that's not necessarily the rule.

    For example, Addisynne is not Addison, Serah is not Sarah (although it's darn close), Sha is not Shay, and Courtenay is not Courtney. #angelinajolie

Mispronouncing "Courtenay" and "Courtney" isn't all that hard to do, and all this woman had to do was say "Actually, it's Courtenay. We get that all the time" and move on. However, she'd usually unleash a tirade that was usually uneccesary. I'm not insulting her choice of names, but a sense of humor/understanding when mispronunciations happen wouldn't have hurt.
