I sort of get her point (ish), but I also sort of wish she had just said she wasn't interested in telling that story and left it at that. This whole it can't be funny...well, sometimes it's funny, but not on my show...but maybe another time...sort of hedging bothers me a lot more than her just saying, "Nah. Not Read more

Totally agree. Her show could use some more balance with "serious issues," but as of yet the show could just as easily be set in an advertising agency as a doctor's office. The medicine isn't really a huge part of any plotlines that aren't silly. Read more

Go Charlie XCX! I don't know who you are, but I like the cut of your jib. Also, we have similar taste in makeup. Read more

You know the journalist Jessica Chastain was speaking of wanted her to say something along the lines of "Don't take naked pictures of yourself." Glad she was quick on her toes and didn't give the satisfaction of that bullshit response. Read more

I think that Mindy has a good point. I watch the show and love her - but her show doesn't really cover any serious medical issues. It's not like they've talked about STDs when 1/2 sexually active young adults gets one. I know that it's disappointing that we skirt around the issue of abortion on television, but I don't Read more

Especially given the current charged political climate around the issue, yeah, it would be too hairy for FOX to deal with. Read more

Can't help but wonder if Kanye's goal is to point West for as long as that haircut lasts. Read more

I feel that if Kaling's show actually did go beyond her character - who is incredibly shallow and unlikeable at times - the show might be more interesting. As it is, the show could be doing more to comment on serious issues (doesn't necessarily have to be abortion) and explore how her character would respond to those Read more

I really can't blame Mindy for not wanting to have an abortion storyline. I can't imagine Fox ever letting it see the light of day. Read more

nick jonas' michelle obama-level arms are reason enough for him to be a model. those biceps are everything. EVERYTHING. Read more

Thanks for this, Callie. Was just about to repost this and your link since this question seems to come up every time there's a piece on on-campus sexual assault. Read more

I am Canadian and do not understand the system in place on colleges in the US. Are police not involved in every reported rape? How does a college get to decide a criminal matter? Also if police do get involved and there is a conviction, would the school not have to expel him at that point? Read more

I am always in awe of those who can own their experiences in order to push for change. It can't be easy to call attention to yourself and to traumatic events in your past, especially when that means opening yourself up to ignorant victim blaming. I sincerely hope we see the effects of this bravery in the very near Read more

I believe she dropped the criminal charges and elected not to pursue a civil lawsuit, at least according to her recent interviews. Read more

Didn't get the "carry the weight" metaphor earlier, good for them. Does anyone in the Columbia circle know what power the student government has over this? Anyone know what they can do at other schools? Is this an issue where the student government can vote on the policy or get it changed or just purely an Read more

I am sad that they have to do this, but I am so proud of these women who are taking a stand in solidarity. Read more

I like the idea of what she's doing, but I also think she should also file a civil suit against that mother fucker, Read more

"She tried to get me into it..." Does this mean you still haven't seen the show?! It's so worth losing a weekend. The eps are only 30 minutes long, so you can tear through it pretty quickly. Warning: It will make you cry and you will feel embarrassed that you did. Read more
