“Cisgender actors don’t take trans roles out of malice. I think it’s just failure to realize the context behind having cisgender people play transgender characters because we don’t see the same issue with sexuality.” Read more

Why are you showing the wrong Pussy Riot members in the top pic (Nadezhda Tolokonnikova and Maria Alyokhina)? They were not involved in that stunt. Read more

Based on Britney’s pathological description of her new fragrance, I think Borderline Personality Disorder would be a more apt name than Prerogative. Read more

I love her. She's always my fav guest on it and as soon as the news about Hardwick came out my first thought was I hope Yvette gets the job. She's so into it with her notebook and she's funny. I'm looking forward to watching her on a show that's gotten boring about a show that's gotten boring yet I still tune in. FML Read more

I don’t even care, I saw a story about this yesterday and immediately began googling how to apply to it. YES it’s dystopian, but my student loans are already there so I’m leaning in to the dystopia.  Read more

This is just the first step towards other dystopian game shows like Wheel of Food Stamps, Bowling for Chemo and Who Wants to Get a Kidney Transplant? It’ll be The Running Man before you know it. Read more

Me in 1990 looked really good with my big bleach blonde hair. Actually I’m not all that embarrassed by the pics in mine. Somehow I got Most Individual but I think mostly because I was the most known weirdest girl but defi6not the weirdest at the school. There's a couple other girls that should've been given the honor.

Umm. I am an old and mine has been on classmates website for awhile. A lot are already there. Sorry to be a bearer of that news. Read more

I’m saying NO to this because, partly for the fear factor, and because it’s another victim of Hollywood’s creativity bankruptcy.  Every 4 out of 5 movie and/or TV show out right now is a reboot/remake/update.  Doesn’t anybody have an imagination anymore? Read more
