I'm sad to admit I know this, but the True Jackson line kind of makes sense. It's a TV show about a teenage girl who gets hired as a VP of a fashion company which makes pretty inoffensively non-descript high fashion. Greg Proopst plays her boss and my step-sister watches it religiously.
Perez Hilton regularly calls women skanks and hos without any legal repercussions, and yet this woman goes to court to try to uncover the anonymous blogger who did exactly the same thing - and now she is free to sue the anon blogger for defamation? Is there something I'm missing?
@heykoukla: I think the sole purpose of the blog that she was suing about was to defame her. Perez goes after lots of women (and men). I think this blog was just about the model in question.
I dont understand why people were so critical of Cohen's lawsuit. She wasn't suing web commentators or a general celebrity blogger, she was suing someone who made a site specifically to insult, criticize and harass her. It consisted of no news, just photos of her with vicious insults.
It's not like suing some guy for catcalling you, it's like suing some guy who was stalking and threatening you for several months.
@Katxyz: Well, I didn't say a blogger was stalking or threatening her. I drew a comparison to show a degree of a damage, hence the "its not like X, it's like Y." Reading comprehension, please.
So, what now, I can sue all the people who called me a bitch/skank/etc. on the internet. Come on. Grow some thicker skin. People will call you names/talk about you in front of your face and behind your back. It's what people do. Most of us have done it.
@Evie Havok: So, if there was an entire blog dedicated to shadowing your movements and calling you a fucking slut/whore/cunt, and it was the first thing that came up when someone (family, future lovers, future employers) googled your name, you'd be ok with that?
Eating disorder, tanning club card, and giant hippie dress optional.
Oooogh. I know this was written with the best of intentions, but no matter how annoying Rachel Zoe may be, and no matter how ubiquitous her godawful shapeless-tent-dress / tattered-blonde-extensions / handbag-the-size-of -a-Jetta / dinnerplate-sized- sunglasses/ dayglow-tangerine-complexion, and the fact that everyone in Hollywood has worn this since like 2003 and I can't tell anyone apart anymore, I just don't feel comfortable trying to deduce whether or not she has an eating disorder.
"Which might be true, or it might be her trying to stay on both companies' good sides after pledging separately to each to wear its clothes and screwing that up royally."
Yep. This.
"How much you want to bet pissed reps for both labels are poring over photos trying to tell their lapel notches from the competitor's as we speak?"
@sportz.star: Wasnt there a Rag Trade awhile back that mentioned J.Crew "going back to basics" and lowering their prices a bit? I swear I remember that and yet, their new season is still full of 100 dollar cotton cardigans. It was ridiculous being in their stores and seeing their sale stuff marked down about 70 percent and the new line sitting there, full price. I can't imagin that will last for long.
@LaFemme: I admittedly love J.Crew clothes, but will not shop only sale -- and usually only final sale, because they've lost their minds. I remember the reference to back to basics, but think it manifested in more plain, less printed, cashmere.

"Get thicker skin" doesn't really work when people are barraging you with insults on a regular basis.
