I clicked through to the ear-candling video because I've been curious about the process ever since I worked at a Wild Oats. Huh. Looks exactly like you'd expect.

But I was struck by how naturally gorgeous Jessica Simpson looked with no makeup and a burning thingie in her ear. Go, girl!

@gangey: The JS hate is ridonk. She's sweet, cute, and harmless.

If MY hairdresser gave me an ear-candle kit, you bet your ass I'd be on YT with it. WTF, who wouldn't?

Shit, I remember one awesome Jez editor talking about garlic up her candydish for.. uh, scientific purposes, and another recounting a 5day romance with a lost tampon... but Jessica Simpson gets the "Wtf are you posting this shit for?" treatment?

Over the hate, I say. Unless its girl hate just for the sake of girl hate.

If Jay-Z has really changed his name to Shawn Knowles-Carter (as opposed to just B changing hers), then my liking for him has just increased astronomically. I kind of doubt that it's true, but if it is true, then it's awesome.

@AtomiClash: humanitarian misanthrope: No one lives there now, it's on the French national heritage register BUT when it was first built by Francois I in the 16th Century, it was built to be a hunting lodge. Not a full time residence. A hunting lodge. The mind boggles. No wonder the peasants snapped in the end, although it's amazing that they put up with this stuff for so long.

(although it did come in handy during WW2, that's where they stashed the Mona Lisa and her mates from the Louvre).

@FurrierAndIves: The good guys beat the Nazis and now you can go there and buy expensive coffee and marvel at the rooftop, which looks like a chess set. Ms Lisa went on to have many adventures in merchandising before retiring behind bullet proof glass. She now writes conspiracy theory novels and plays parcheesi with the ladies in the Madonna of the Rocks.

dear carrie underwood,
first of all, best wishes for your engagement.

now, I know you are somewhat traditional, but I just wanted to ask you as a friend not to adopt your fiancee's name once you are married. You seem to work hard and have a nice story but I'm afraid you are no Carrie Fisher.

"New Zealand TV host Paul Henry, who said Susan Boyle was "starved of oxygen at birth" and "she is in fact retarded," has apologized saying, 'I am sorry that some people have taken what I said in a way that I never intended.'"

Dear Mr. Henry,

I am also sorry for those people. It would take a high degree of stupidity to misunderstand what you very clearly said.

Drugs are an easy way to keep weight off and your energy up. I wish it were not so, but it's true. I can honestly say that if I were in film for whatever reason, I would be totally fucked up. Not only that, but I can see how so many women drop weight just from the stress of being followed, performing in films (so many are not natural actors, and so many question their talents), having everything you say and do picked apart, including your looks. That kind of anxiety would straight up kill my appetite.

I don't want to project that this was the case for Murphy. In fact, it didn't even cross my mind until I started reading media this morning. But I can't ignore the culture radiating through this industry that is so totally damaging. And we all feed into it. It's just sad. Really sad.

I am a reasonably intelligent 30 year old and I am still not past the point where I am tempted to be a vulnerable, self-destructive, wasting away kind of person. It's almost like society worships this kind of female being who needs to be saved, but only when she is whip thin, doe-eyed or conforms to any kind of superficial way. It's super distressing.

I think I might just be taking this personally, but having known people with EDs whose hearts have stopped and so many people with drug problems, I just know that even if it turns out that this is what happened with Murphy, none of them, none of us will take anything from it in any real way. And things will just go back to being the same.

@Penny: I have to say Brittany's death woke me the hell up. I *suspect* she had an ED - that's only because I have one and have had one for 20 years, the vast majority of my life. Saturday I was really bad off from the night before and kept thinking "okay is this the day?" because I know I'm playing Russian roulette with my life. I honestly can't believe I am still here - so seeing what happened to her, and we're roughly the same age - made me realize I needed to get some help (again). Regardless of whether or not she suffered from an ED, it hit me hard and I realized I was kidding myself that I could remain this way and still be here for the people who I love.

@Penny: I think all the time about the boundaries in place in most people's lives that keep them from a raging drug habit, ie money, family, job, ect. So many of those things can't be done (or done long term)by your average joe with an incapacitating drug habit.

It is astounding how many of these boundaries lift when you are rich and famous. Suddenly drugs are every where, done by everyone and money is no issue. You have people paid to cover your indiscretions. Who would not develop some sort of raging habit given those conditions?

@zu_zu: take care of yourself. I know it's hard (it took me a long time to seek therapy, and now, to stay in it) but you deserve it. Knowing that my heart could basically give out any day and losing my life (not just my life, but all that makes it vibrant, worthwhile, and even fun sometimes) is just not worth the security that the ED offers. It's a lonely, false security. Wishing you a good recovery-- it's long and annoying as hell, but you deserve to life a long full life.

I remember when the original Supergirl movie came out. My mom had given me some sort of promotional magazine with Helen Slater on the cover, and I was convinced it would be the best movie of all time and win every Oscar there was.

I mostly remember being very disappointed.

An investigation on Wikipedia does inform me that the director's cut was released on DVD in 2006 with about 50 minutes of footage added to the theatrical release, which might go a long way towards restoring best-ness.

Entertainer of the year? I'm sure that Taylor Swift is a great person, but has anybody else heard her try to sing live? It ain't pretty. It's not so much that she's out of tune, but her voice is very thin and lacks any kind of tonal quality.
