Is Patti Stanger there, signing them up for the next season? Read more

@sequined: yes, it seemed like body-shaming for the naturally thin. Where they could simply say, "This is how my body is naturally, and I learned to accept and love myself without trying to change myself." Read more

@Snowbunny: And acting as a surrogate for her brother, at one time. Her uterus doubled as a clown car this year. Read more

Katy Perry always looks like she's auditioning for "Ice Dancing with the Stars." I can't wait to see photos of her wedding dress—I am guessing the entire top is illusion netting and strategic sequins. Read more

@Sparklejam!: @punsandpretensions: @Sarah Hudson: I love you guys!!! Read more

I think we need a photo array to properly understand this story, and to enjoy the weekend. Read more

@sfgirl76: How did I not realize this is the trick? And you are not working with so many folded layers then. Bless you— I will be dusting off the Singer this weekend. Read more

@BirdFrog: A habit both of them inherited from their beautiful and over-cosmeticized mothers. I imagine growing up in a home where their mothers placed such an emphasis on perfecting their faces would leave an indelible impression. Read more

@caraboutit72: Viral x 3. Congrats. Read more

@littlekim: To avoid MRSA, avoid contact with the bodily secretions of others. Wipe down everything at the gym, especially sweaty equipment. Change and shower after working out—MRSA loves the sweaty damp spaces. Avoid the hospital and, if you have to go there, make sure everyone who touches you has clean hands/gloves.… Read more

@weetziebat: Sure, it happened on Witch Mountain. Read more

@OutofShell: My sister's niece had one, made of excess spinal fluid. She just thought it was normal because she had it from birth, and it gradually got larger as she aged. Hers was more in her lower abdomen and, once it was removed, she was suddenly slender. When it grew back within two years she realized that she… Read more

I want to send all ten of you a batch of warm cookies for sharing with us all. But, oddly enough, the thought of food is making me want to retch. Read more

@rockymay!: If it's Kim Richards, she was in the Witch Mountain movies back in the 70s and I really wanted to be her for years. Then she just became known as Paris Hilton's aunt and I was OK not being her. Read more

They should lock her in a cell with Lori Drew for a year. Read more

So there's going to be a Baby Joker in the next Batman movie? Read more

@LisaMc: It was a group of adoptees so no genetic excuse. So many of the parents are like, "she had a rough childhood, so you have to excuse her." Really? Cause my son was raised by unicorns and they taught him to be polite and friendly. Read more

@SamIam24: At a recent playdate my son was the only boy, and the 4-6 year old girls were rude to him. He even brought them bubbles to share, and they took them. After I addressed it twice, once with the girls and once with their mothers, and got absolutely no response, we left. And I told me son that girls might be… Read more

@Edie Spencer: Our community has a coffee house like that, where my stepson hung out while he came out. He had a high school friend whose parents kicked him out, and they helped him get an apartment. Read more

@crackers in bed: When she goes off on vacation to recuperate (not sure which book), she picks up a married businessman for a week of decent sex. And describes it as if she just bought a box of batteries for her vibrator. He's not a person to her, just a warm body that brings her to orgasm. Read more
