I don't see what the big deal is. It's not like she was making out with her brother or something.

I think that's called growing up. Unforeseen single parenthood will do that to a gal. If you remember, she and Billy Bob adopted Maddox. He bolted shortly after because he wasn't getting attention. An infant is time consuming and he didn't seem to know this before hand.

The pet rat is the most disgusting factoid by far.

Confession: I really liked the blood thing until people said it was creepy. I actually still like it, but I have to say it's disturbing because otherwise I'll have to justify it to people.

@TedSez: I'm dying here!

Okay, but the REAL question is: how's Jen holding up? I haven't heard a thing about her hair in days!

That tag should be "oh, yes, there will be blood vials"...

"Everyone just starts to undress just when you get them dressed"

See...nothing's changed!

@nigerienne: I think you're lost. Urban Baby is just to the right of here.

@NobodyLikesMe: I like my eggs unfertilized and there will be no foreign children. I admire parents, especially single parents, from a distance. Far enough to not hear their screaming children.

Hey, I had a pet rat named Templeton. I never kissed my brother... um, forget it.

What's funny is that Billy Bob once compared sex with her to fucking a piece of furniture AND he has a phobia of antique furniture!?

@Cheap Shot: I've always thought of AJ as less antique and more like one of those assembled folded chairs you buy at IKEA for 20 bucks.

Oh to be a beautiful sociopath!

Next stop...Harvard Law Professor.

Ugh. I had a pet rat once. I resent this anti-rodent attitude, US Weekly!! He was a cute, albeit stupid, little bugger; white with grey speckles.

@adminslave: OMG, I love your icon. That's my favorite one from TSG.

On topic: some friends of mine had pet rats, and I took care of them while my friends were on vacation. The female rat gave birth and then ATE THE BABIES. I draw no parallels, I'm just putting it out there.

@nigerienne: Time to stop lecturing on child rearing then. Oh shit....i skippped into Daily Slope territory.l

Shouldn't there be some kind of word - perhaps the Germans have one we could borrow - that expresses the concept of maturing from "scary" to "pretentious" without ever losing the important quality of being "extremely boring."

To Weiseltier?

Maybe we should just call it "To Jolie"

@Seanibus:

"Ausfart"?

Can we please spend a day digging up things from the USW's editors' twenties? That will be fun.

This is exactly why I like Angelina Jolie -- she's weird. Before she was a showy, Goth kind of weird; now she's Mia Farrow weird, but she's authentically pretty strange and would be strange if she were completely unknown. There is weirdness there. Whereas 90% of the people in Hollywood are essentially Rachel Zoe iron-on stickers.

@ The Real JR

If we did that, it would be nothing but posts about white wine spritzers binges, Sex and the City parties and awkward pawing on the dance floor of Veruka.
