This is kind of a tricky quote, to be sure, but I really do feel for Miss Theron. I think I have managed to stay coupled for most of my young adult life, and whatever that quirk says about me, it doesn’t necessarily indicate a weakness in character. But losing your partner is so, so difficult, and for a long time you will not feel competent, and it can be awful to sit alone and try to take inventory of yourself. Of course Theron will use singlehood to develop a much more powerful sense of identity.
I see where you’re coming from, Zach, I really do. Movies like The Breakfast Club and Home Alone are infinitely better than the Twilight movies in almost every conceivable way. But you’re forgetting about one sweet, sweet thing, Zach Braff: Robert Pattinson gnawing through Kristen Stewart‘s uterus with his teeth while her fetus snaps her spine. I’m sorry if I overlooked anything, but I don’t think I saw that scene in Weird Science.
You guys might have seen some comments around these parts or on other blogs about a “Kardashian Free Zone Day,” a boycott of the E! channel on November 27th. You also might have seen talk of a petition requesting that E! entirely remove the Kardashians from their programming because “these shows are mostly staged and place an emphasis on vanity, greed, promiscuity, vulgarity and over-the-top conspicuous consumption. While some may have begun watching the spectacle as mindless entertainment or as a sort of ‘reality satire,’ it is a sad truth that many young people are looking up to this family and are modeling their appearance and behavior after them.” Right now, the petition has nearly 85,000 signatures, so whatever you’ve seen, people are getting pretty sick of the Kardashians.
Personally, I’m torn. I’d never seen any of the Kardashian shows until this weekend. Don’t tell anybody, but I was really bored and curious, and I watched the first four episodes of Keeping Up with the Kardashians, and I thoroughly enjoyed myself. I appreciated the show like I appreciate Jersey Shore: it’s mindless drama that’s just fun to watch. I enjoy giggling at the stupidity of people, and since these people are getting paid ridiculous amounts, I don’t feel bad for it. Everybody wins! Except, I suppose, whatever people actually look up to the Kardashians. Oh, and those girls who were very young when the show started and were almost inevitably warped by Kris Jenner‘s need for money and fame, they didn’t win either.
So really, I don’t know where I stand. I don’t want the young impressionable youth to think that emulating Kim Kardashian is remotely ok, but at the same time, I can’t imagine that Bruce Jenner’s face will ever fail to make me smile. Is it too ambitious to dream that we lived in a society where people made their own choices instead of going with whatever idiot who made her way on television has to say?
According to People, yes, Bradley Cooper is the sexiest man alive. Is that bizarre to anyone else? I’m not saying that Bradley Cooper isn’t an attractive individual, because he is, but in a goofy way or an adorable way or an “aww, yeah, he’s cute, but he’s my gay BFF/just like my brother, it’s weird to think of him like that!” way.
Another thing: how in the world did Ryan Gosling not get this cover? How has 2011 been anything but The Year of the Gosling? And sure, he did make the list, but for Ryan Gosling not to get the title of Sexiest Man Alive is appalling to me. I’ll never be able to understand People‘s reasoning, and it’s going to take me a long time to come to terms with their careless, callous choice.
Who do you think should have won the honor of being 2011′s Sexiest Man Alive?
Did you guys see 50/50? It was that comedy where Joseph Gordon-Levitt had cancer, remember? I saw it, and I enjoyed it quite a bit (and oh, how I cried). Another person who saw it and liked it? A 26-year-old lady named Lindsay Miller who happens to have cancer and a crush on Mr. Gordon-Levitt.
As you can see in the video above, Lindsay has taken it upon herself to try and score a date with Joseph. Not even a date, just coffee. Just a quick cup of coffee with dreamboat Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and a poor girl’s wish can come true. That doesn’t sound too hard, right?
As of now, Joseph hasn’t seen the video, but of course he will, and of course he’ll follow through, and then we’ll hear touching tales for days about what a great guy he is, and everyone will be happy. I mean, let’s face it, this is a cute girl with cancer who lives in L.A. who made a very public request for a date. Is there any way that Joseph could turn her down without looking like a complete dick?
I would like to tell you that the term “retard” is very offensive to me. I am not offended because I ASSUME it would offend someone who has mental retardation. I am offened on how the word came to...
I am not offended that Rosie has a fear or anxiety of LP. I feel that when someone knows very little about things and or people they tend to be anxious. Think about it if you had never been around someone...
