Redhead + short hair = CRAZY ATTRACTIVE. I'm sorry, but your opinion is simply wrong.

Seriously, why doesn't Linda Cardellini get more love? She's a knock-out, and she's even a decent actress. Did you see her in "Brokeback Mountain?" She was ten times better looking and acted a hundred times better than huge-face Hathaway, but she gets completely overlooked.

With about 1/5 of the rack.

The piss poor coverage the crisis at the nuke site is hilarious. Comparing this to Chernobyl is so wrong...its not even wrong.

Chernobyl was the result of serious design flaws (positive temperature coefficient, no containment vessel, lack of an emergency cooling system, etc.), massive operator error (operating the turbine generators to the point of automatic trip, complete lack of emergency procedures, etc.) and a total criminal actions by the Soviet state (sending peon after peon to die, refusal to acknowledge or warn other countries, the continued cover up of the full damage). Meltdown does not equal Chernobyl. Furthermore, any facility at that site other than a nuclear plant would have been utterly destroyed already.

Find me one single building in the whole of the US designed to withstand a 9.0 earthquake.

And for people thinking we can exist without it...yeah, hope you enjoy not living your current lifestyle. Until American's learn not to be power hogs, your going to have to live with nuclear power.

Ain't nothing wrong with Emma's haircut. Work the pixie. One has to have a hairstylist one trusts though - with one I had an awesome sexy short cut, and with another I looked like my brother. (I shoulda known when she took out the clippers....)

Hmm. In fact, I think it's time for a trim.

So many feelings... I love Emma Watson and I'm sad to hear she dropped out of school. Especially for that job. I won't lie, though, I love her hair.

And that video of the horribly misinformed teenager who thinks drowning or finding the washed up corpses of your neighbors equals "knowing God's love" is terrifying and sad. Why do only the batshit insane "Christians" make news? Ugh.

That "Christian" was actually a troll: http://www.themarysue.com/fyi-that-girl-who-said-japan-deserved-the-earthquake-because-of-atheists-yeah-she-was-trollin/

Not that those hateful types don't exist.

Eeeh settle down, Hermione 10 POINTS from Gryffindor for not being "all that"

Badass they may be, but not quite as badass as the Disney Sith Princesses.

What, she's too flat for you too?

Thanks for trying orly, but that isn't much better.

Thank you for clarifying, beckster, that is actually a relief. I wondered but was too lazy to Google.

beckster I just want you to know this is, like, the first conversation of, like, three conversations that leads to you being a drop out. Like, there's this and then in a year it's like, "Oh, you know, I'm kinda gonna want to get back out there, but I think I like community college," and then there's the big, "Oh, I'm... I'm... I'm a drop out now."

Mrs. Julien -

Ha. I'm sure that's true for a lot of people but I deferred for a semester and it worked out splendidly for me and I was back at college a few months later. That's why I want the difference to be clear since I wouldn't have been happy if I had been referred to as a dropout. Of course in my case I wasn't the new face of Lancome (I just missed the cut) but was saving up money instead. Stars. They're just like us.

Mrs. Julien, how do you get your butter in Canada, if not in sticks? I'm sure there are hundreds of horrible ways to read that question, but I am asking out of sincere curiousity. Thanks.

Ugh, that damn Rebecca Black video. There's a weird sincerity to its awfulness that almost (but, not really) makes me feel guilty for mocking it. Like we'll soon find out that she's a Make-A-Wish kid with some horrible disease that just wanted to cross "Star in my own music video" off her bucket list. A disease that would hopefully explain the erosion of her decision making abilities because, seriously — it's not like they're rigged to explode — just choose a fucking seat already!

I agree with The People. Emma Watson's hair is awesome.

It comes in blocks kind of like shortening. One pound blocks with lines on the wrapper indicating measurements for baking. The 1/4 pound slash half cup sticks are much easier to use. Actually shortening comes in one pound blocks there too.

Kisses,
Mrs. Julien

Victor Frankenstein's head was normal.

I second Jay's comment. Frankenstein was the scientist, not the monster.

That's FrankenSTEEN.

Hey, if you're gonna call her deformed, I'm gonna hold you to doing it properly, sir. That's just good etiquette.

I left school for 3 years, I finished. I think the difficulty in going back has a lot to do with the ability to take the time and be able to afford it once life has set in. I suspect the former will be Ms Watsons hurdle, not the latter. Baby better make hay while the sun is shining though, she will never be this young or beautiful again.

Has anyone noticed that Kate Winslet followed the trend? Rowr.

Her new hair is....controversial. I've stayed out of it.

Listen, Tyra Banks has just been accepted into Harvard Business School. No need to worry about celebs getting their education, the so-called elite colleges fall over themselves to accept anyone with a name.

I may have just snorted. It was very unladylike.

And the butter is grey Slim. As are the children. And our dreams.

@Diablo, not to mention scientists don't think you can get up to a 9.0 quake on California's fault lines, which is where you're most likely to get THE BIG ONE, and even then, it depends not only on the type of land the building is on (landfill, bedrock, etc.) but also on resonant frequency (see Mexico City damage from the quake in the 80's).

In other words, well, theoretically, California. But there's a lot of retrofitting yet to be done in older buildings that will really screw everyone over. Nuclear plants will all shut down, though!

@leuce7, California has a different sort of fault line from Japan, theirs cause tsunamis because it's a subduction fault, the pacific plate shoving under the north america plate causes the the land mass to punch upward, thus creating a wall of water. The San Andreas fault is a strike slip (like a shearing motion), meaning, regardless of how big the quake is, we wouldn't get a tsunami.

Japan's currently having problems with their nuclear plants because the tsunami knocked out all of their secondary backup cooling systems.

The Cascadia subduction fault on the other hand... umm... well... *gulp*

why, oh, why did i click on that friday video? and why couldn't i stop watching it? what's wrong with me? don't answer that!

@paultera: thanks! that was indeed the perfect antidote.

Oh, and as a little PS (sorry for double posting): Here is a fake Bob Dylan cover of that amazing Friday song. It's brilliant.

Vi - I live on the Cascadia subduction zone on Vancouver Island. Gulp is right.

Sorry I was trying to address 2 points and it got jumbled up while I was typing.

California isn't likely to get a 9.0 because it's a transform fault (I'm assuming it's because there's a lot more resistance from the land mass when something slides against the plate instead of pushing under the plate).

Just because we probably won't get a 9.0, doesn't mean this isn't still a concern. I was in the 1989 SF quake... that was only a 6.3 and that really fucked up the bay area. We're seriously nowhere near prepared to deal with earthquakes the way Japan is, despite having building codes that are far more strict than most places in the US. SF is just waay too overcrowded and it has so many old building that don't pass codes and they can't be rebuilt due to bureaucratic bullshit surrounding renovation and insane California property taxes. I mean, we could get a 7 and be totally fucked, let alone a 9.

The tsunami comment was meant to address that the nuclear plants in California aren't in as much danger as the ones in Japan because they (probably) don't have to worry about a tsunami destroying their secondary main cooling system.

I think her haircut's adorable. I used to be able to wear that style, but I'm really too old now. Makes me sad.

"Listen, Tyra Banks has just been accepted into Harvard Business School. No need to worry about celebs getting their education, the so-called elite colleges fall over themselves to accept anyone with a name."

Please tell me this is true. I love facts that confirm stereotypes I hold (i.e. business school is not academically rigorous). Thanks. Oh, and the Ivies do, indeed, fall all over themselves to accommodate the celebs. You never see those same celebs going to, say, Amherst or Swarthmore or Davidson - not Hollywood enough for them.

Actually, Sarah Lawrence has a surprisingly good Hollywood pedigree, claiming Julianna Marguiles and Lauren Holly as gradautes, and Carrie Fisher as a dropout (to do Star Wars). No Jodie Foster, but a decent showing for a random strong liberal arts college.

Not that it means much of anything. One of my best friends went to Sarah Lawrence, so I just happened to randomly know that.

The Ivies are, however, very accommodating as a whole, I think. They have numbers and reputations to maintin.

Yeah for Sanda Bullock! She donated $1 million dollars to help the people in Japan!
