LeAnn Rimes Loves Being A ‘Bonus-Mom’ Almost As Much As She Loves Rubbing It In Brandi Glanville’s Face

LeAnn Rimes Loves Being A 'Bonus-Mom' Almost As Much As She Loves Rubbing It In Brandi Glanville's Face

I don’t know how I missed the Mother’s Day fiasco that transcribed between LeAnn Rimes and Brandi Glanville. I’m usually all over this kind of crap. Apparently, Rimes sent Glanville some flowers on Mother’s Day. Because that’s what you do after you take up with someone’s husband and destroy their family – send them flowers. Ew. More »

I’m Not Surprised Private Schools Are Going The Way Of The Dodo

I'm Not Surprised Private Schools Are Going The Way Of The Dodo

According to this article in The Atlantic, private schools are on their way out. I’m not tremendously surprised. Most people I know attended public primary school and had great experiences, and many people I know who, like me, attended private school for college deeply regret it — and believe they could have received the same education for half the cost at a state school.

Hey Kids! If You’re A ‘So-So’ Student, Skip School And Become A Plumber

Hey Kids! If You're A 'So-So' Student, Skip School And Become A Plumber

Mayor Bloomberg gave some advice to students on his radio show on Friday: if you’re not that great at academia, skip it and learn a vocation. He may have a point, but it’s a little hard to take seriously. He’s a billionaire. There is such a financial disconnect between him and the average student struggling how to figure out how to afford college and make a living without being bankrupted by loans. More »

Blanks Fired At Cannes TV Broadcast And I Would Have Freaked Out Too

Blanks Fired At Cannes TV Broadcast And I Would Have Freaked Out Too

Although I’ve never heard gunshot noises in a crowd like the people at this Cannes TV broadcast, I will admit that all of the public gun violence in the news has seriously affected my ability to enjoy many public settings — namely malls and movie theaters. I went to see Star Trek in IMAX 3D with my husband the other day, and when the previews started up, I started to panic a little about how dark and crowded it was. What if somebody in there had a gun?

Michelle Obama’s Speech At Bowie State University Fails To Obliterate Black-White Wealth Gap

Michelle Obama's Speech At Bowie State University Fails To Obliterate Black-White Wealth Gap

Michelle Obama recently gave a commencement speech at Bowie State University in which she laments the fact that so many young black people aspire to be sports stars and rappers instead of pursuing mentally challenging careers. She blames it primarily on a lack of personal motivation. Given the setting, I think her speech, though maybe a little cliched, was appropriate. This wasn’t an inauguration speech, guys, it was a commencement speech. And what’s a commencement speech without a little cheese? More »

We All Knew Farrah Abraham Wasn’t Pregnant, But Boy Is She Relieved

We All Knew Farrah Abraham Wasn't Pregnant, But Boy Is She Relieved

The amateur/ professional/ personal sex tape/ professionally-funded porno she made with adult film star James Deen apparently didn’t garner her the attention she craved. Farrah Abraham, of MTV’s Teen Mom fame (I can’t believe this is actually a show that brings people fame) purchased a pregnancy test on a conveniently photographed outing to her local Rite Aid. More »
