1.) Dollhouse? Gimme a break.

Does anyone else notice that certain "actresses" like Elisha Dushku are given chances to make it again and again and AGAIN - solely because of their looks - yet they bomb every single time?

When is Dushku gonna reach her Tara Reid critical-(m)ass level and be banished already? Sheesh.

News flash: I'm sure thre are pretty girls out there who ALSO can act. Give one of 'em a break already, and leave the talentless ones to live off of their Maxim cover earnings.

2.) Heather says that these shallow, egomaniacal millionaire men desire "quality blow jobs on a regular basis".

Ummm, not to stir the pot but ladies: ALL guys desire that, rich or poor, selfish or selfless, profound & egalitarian or shallow & sexist.

The cute, sensitive vegan bartender who shops at Whole Foods, loves Ani Di Franco & drives a Prius powered on good vibes?

Yeah - he also would like quality blowjobs on a regular basis.

The key thing is most men know what we want is probably not what we will get: more likely than not, we'll do our best to give pleasure, and in return receive no reciprocation (or bad attempts at best) maybe once a year at most on our birthday.

But, if you are an egomaniacal millionaire old enough to be your "partner's" daddy? Well, hello Fellatio City! =P

I may be a progressive, but I can admit that it is better for the Republican Party to start veering toward a sensible (if still not entirely agreeable) center, than to splinter into factions that give Coulter & Limbaugh tribal warlord powers.

So Meghan gives off a bit of an airhead vibe...who gives a fuck?

If she can be part of an effort to articulate a better direction for the GOP - one that can break free from ridiculous old mores on gay marriage, stem cell research etc. - then why should we libs throw a bitch fit over it?

A more centrist GOP is not a threat to us...and it is good for our society as a whole.

You spent $435.00 on a phone ??

Hell, I bought a car - my ol' Corolla - for just 100 bucks more than that!

Firstly, if I even spent half that much on an item, I would not lend it to anyone so casually - much less a 50 y.o. who has a hard time grasping how to use new technology.

Secondly, it was clearly a mistake and not malice on your friend's part.

Thirdly: you, LW, can afford to spend nearly half a grand on a cell phone - so clearly you can afford to replace it by yourself, no?

(And maybe it's just me - but this time, perhaps you should not let your friend borrow your replacement phone...whatever its price?)

"Ask me to contemplate why an actress losing weight is regarded as heroic.

Because for anyone - famous or not, rich or poor - to lose weight and maintain a new healthy lifestyle is a feat, Williams.

Anyone who has been a food addict, emotional eater, overeater, binger etc. - and is now at a healthy BMI - knows the hell of withdrawal, the pain of exercising while obese, the battle against cravings and all the myriad other challenges the road to fat loss and health presents.

Just because you clearly have no context or experience of your own in this regard does NOT fuckin' give you the right to belittle the personal victory of Bertinelli or the rest of us who have conquered many demons in an effort to combat overweightness and obesity.

Kiss our now toned, healthy arses.

Since the Hudson plane landing incident overloaded the word "hero" with more competing definitions than is comprehensible, I don't believe weight loss in an of itself is necessarily "heroic".

Nevertheless, Williams belittling and trivializing someone's weight loss and return to a trimmer, healthier (i.e. not anorexic) shape is puerile and catty at best, asinine and myopic at worst.

Walk a day in an obese person's shoes, Mary...

Your Mom is without a doubt a hero to me!

Her story damn near brings tears to my eyes.
