Is it inappropriate of me to be laughing hysterically at the fact that Michael K is now referring to John Mayer as "The Dyke Whisperer"?

@hfree: Oh, wow. Having not seen that movie since it came out, I completely forgot/was possibly unaware that Alan Rickman (*swoon*) was in it. All I remember is his line, "I will cut his heart out with a spoon!" Which is a phrase that I used for the entirety of the remainder of my elementary school years. Also, why I wasn't very popular with my peers.

as much as this whole tiger woods thing seems like a foregone conclusion (not talking to authorities, lawyering up before he had time to sneeze after leaving the hospital, random cocktail waitresses coming out of the woodwork with sexting and whatnot), the thing that really bothers me the most is the whole "well, he's a professional athlete" excuse.

wtf.

apparently, if you're a professional athlete, it's part of your job to whore it up early and often and the concept of 'self control' just doesn't apply to you unless it involves following a strict diet and working out at the gym. i guess the old adage "let boys be boys" is working like gangbusters for men in society, and if you fall in love and marry a professional athlete, you should expect him to come home with a fat paycheck, a mistress, and possibly an std.

gross. that's all i can say! gross.

@rednrowdy: I think it's the same with politicians. It's not that people are saying it's okay, it's more that they're saying that people with huge amounts of power and privilege often end up seeing themselves as above the rules that the rest of society lives by. So they do shitty things.

@rednrowdy: it's really despicable. i read a statistic that something like 80% of married male athletes cheat on their spouses.
these guys have women throwing themselves at them and they are essentially told that they have some god-given right to be unfaithful.

@Breamworthy: I'm not really seeing how being famous makes you immune to cheating, tons of people with NO fame or power cheat. Men and women. This is a case of infidelity which sadly our society seems to think doesn't happen. It's this fucking idea of a nuclear family with one man and one woman together forever. LIFE IS NOT THAT NEAT AND CLEAN. It has never been and never will be.

@History Major: absolutely true, but it's the assumption, nay the pass that male professional athletes and politicians get by society at large just because they are athletes or politicians. of course life is not neat and clean, but it can be a whole lot neater and cleaner by the choices people make every single day.

@lemonsquares: i remember way back in the day hanging out at a somewhat family restaurant and bar (NOT hooters) that was known to be frequented by nba players after a game in my hometown because it was close to the stadium...and i was only there with my pal who was trying to get autographs. i'm in baggy tshirt and long shorts and ponytail..not dressed up at all. what blew my mind were the women who showed up wearing basically a bra, panties and heels (this is only a slight exaggeration), and the men who showed up dressed to the nines to look like they were pro athletes or of that ilk, ready to swim in the wake of the nba players...banking on pro athletes who would be unable to keep it in their pants.

@History Major: It's not that you are immune, it's just that it seems to be an expected and okay thing for you to do if you are famous. Sorry but if you are married and your spouse has an expectation that you are faithful, you shouldn't cheat. Don't make a commitment you don't plan to keep.

@Red-headed bookworm: I wholeheartedly agree.

Marriage is not a band aid. It won't miraculously cover up whatever issues you were dealing with before. I think a lot of people enter marriages with the belief that once the wedding is over old things are passed away and while that is hopeful and optimistic, how realistic is it?

@History Major: Exactly. Fortunately my parents have had a long and very good marriage but my dad always tells me not to settle for a person and make sure I can live with their flaws before I marry them. I also have friends who married for the wrong reasons and aren't together anymore. Marriage is work and if you aren't aware of that and commited to it, you shouldn't enter into it.

Well said Jeremy Paxman! I find the likes of Sting lecturing the rest of us on reducing OUR carbon footprints, whilst happily indulging in a lifestyle Louis XIV would envy, is nauseating in the extreme and completely undermines their otherwise valid message. By the way, I have always found Jeremy Paxman to be very sexy: those brains, that voice! Rumour has it that it is not only his face that has more than a passing resemblance to a member of the equine family,

Why do the women who have affairs with people like Tiger Woods always come forward like they are doing the world a favour by saying xyz about the person they had an affair with?

Are they so desperate for fame and excitement that they boast of sleeping with a married man?

It always leaves me with a bad taste in my mouth. They shouldn't be vilified for an affair (the man should take responsibility if he was the one cheating), but they shouldn't be proud or making money off it either...

@gherkinfiend: Yes, I assume they are desperate for fame. If they are trying out for reality shows, it's a good indicator.

I mean, I am trying to put myself in the place of having an affair with a married famous man. I assume some of my friends would know but otherwise the guilt would keep me quiet.

I mean, what is this about? Fame? One-uping his wife? Punishing him? Any-which-way, it's lame. And this is NOT condoning Woods or his behavior, in the least. Having cheated myself, that voicemail he left gave me a knot in my stomach. As my mom says, lies have no history. And piling lies on top of lies will fuck anyone in the end.

(I say this as I am skipping work for the second time this week and not telling my BF...but I'm just an asshole)

And 31 months? And she runs to the tabs? Damn, that's low. After that much time together, either she was just in it for the money or that was a really bitter break up.

@Penny: @georgina: I'd some how missed the reality show connection...definitely looking for fame!

@Ginmar Rienne: 31 months probably seems a long enough commitment to her that she should reap some kind of 'reward' whether that be fame or tabloid money. I can't imagine doing that, but then again I've never knowingly slept with a married man or cheated on someone.

I just get annoyed when 'the other woman' in these things tries to portray herself as totally innocent. She may not be the same league as the man, but she's isn't innocent in all this.

I've had a married guy or two try and pull some sleazy moves, but once I found out---and in one case, I REALLY had to jump on the guy, hard---but after 31 months she knew.

I think the 'other women' in these cases are kind of nervous about being kept and are trying to dodge that particular bullet, right or wrong. These don't sound like anything but sleazy relationships to me.

I want to believe that John Mayer sat young misses Lindsay and Samantha down to give them the sort of sage advice you can only get from a stoned guy with a guitar.

That dude has got to stop making me like him. The new album, the tweets, the brokering of peace between L & S.

The only thing that is keeping me from crushing on that friggin' guy is the sexyface on the cover of the Hot Jewess Details issue. It's like a bucket of ice.

Oh god Tiger. I had some sympathy for him, but he lost me with the affair with someone on "Tool Academy." For the love of Valtrex, was someone on "Rock of Love Bus" not available?

His wife should get tested for STDs, like, now.

And if that voicemail is him, then he is stupid. Same with the texts. Don't leave a trail, dude.
