    In reply to Does the Horrible Beard Get in the Way When Brangelina Have Sex?
    Maybe I'm the only person that thinks this but despite Jolie's in your face sex appeal and Pitt's sexy boy reputation and abs, I find it hard to imagine that sex between them is sexy in any way. I think they each lack a sort of earthiness that comes with good sexiness and that beard does not increase the earthiness factor in any way.

    I haven't lived in the states in a while, but is $13 an hour actually considered 'good money' in NYC these days? If so, does everyone still live with their parents and eat intermittently?

    @Lysergic Asset: According to the Living Wage Calculator, $13 an hour would count as a 'living wage' though it depends on exactly where in NYC one lives.

    Madonna told me that buying a pair of my shoes is more satisfying than having sex with a man.

    Why not just have sex with the shoe, Jimmy Choo, Jimmy Choo?

    I think Brangelina (which to me sounds like some bran-based Tang) would be treated like the word "couple" in the AP Stylebook, which, I'm pretty sure means it's singular when referring to them as one unit (The Brangelina has to deal with that beard during sex) and when "couple" is used in the sense of two individuals together, it's plural (Brangelina aren't married, they're just living in beard-y sin).

    Hugh Grant has never been married. I know, because I send mail proposing to him frequently and he always turns me down.

    Brad Pitt always grows that billy-goat beard when he's souring on his woman. He did the same thing in the last year or two of his marriage to Jennifer Aniston. I wonder if it's in order to turn them off him physically? That's probably the last thing to go given he's not much of a catch intellectually.

    Angelina had a tummy tuck after the twins (which she has admitted to). First thing the doctors ask you is: "you know there's no more kids after this, right?" Because they remove the blown-out muscles so there is not enough muscles left for a baby to expand. So I think she's letting these stories happen, but the only children they will continue to have will be adopted ones.

    @BadUncle: It looks amazing, stunning even, from a safe distance. (Not in a remotely sexxxy way, but amazing. Yeah.)

    But imagine being in the shower, having a pleasant daydream, when the curtain moves a bit and your beloved joins you. You feel warm breath on your neck, and then... IT happens.

    A sodden tendril touches down, followed by more, until it's like a soggy convention of used Brillo pads on your neck. There is a faint scent of burger n' fries, which you recall he had for lunch yesterday. It's as though someone is scrubbing your neck with a roadkill hedgehog.

    You scream and scream.

    Somewhere, miles away, a small flock of seagulls thuds down onto a boardwalk, all feathers akimbo and lifeless eyes staring at eternity.

    And when thought returns, it comes on a cloud of Barbasol.

    I wish Madonna would give up all the cosmetic procedures and just gracefully accept the changes God's throwing her way given her level of maturity. But, I guess it's too late -- the damage is done. She's got cheek implants + what not in there, so without continued maintenance she's bound to look even more ghastly. Attention Gawker commenters that also practice cosmetic surgery -- Can cheek implants be removed?

    @SuperBien: I just read about it, so no firsthand knowledge, but I believe they're injections of a filler that breaks down and gets absorbed over time, so she'd have to have it redone in about 9 months- it's probably not an actual implant.

    Because of boredom I've translated both yesterday's Courtney Love Facebook posts and today's Courtney Love Facebook posts from Drunk into English.

    Yesterday's post in normal English:

    Golly. I don't know what people will say about my split with my daughter. The truth is that Frances is not going to be as rich next year as people think she will be. She and I both got the same share of my husband's estate - which breaks down as 37 percent of the gross profits of the In Utero album. The $15 million in profits from the use of my ex husband's name and image all go to the record company - because they are so greedy they would take cash out of the hands of a fatherless child. I've always thought this was wrong but so much time has passed now that I don't care.

    What I do care about is the attitude my teenage daughter is giving me at the moment. Sheesh! Kids these days! I love her but am going to have to give her some distance. What's sad is the people she thinks are her friends in New York really just like her because she's rich and her dad is famous. I'm so annoyed at her right now that I'm considering applying for a professorship at the college she wants to go to! That would teach her a lesson!

    What really annoys me is that she's not living up to her potential. She tells herself she's doing stuff to build a life for herself but, really, she wastes all her time on Facebook.

    I'm also annoyed because she's gotten into that teenage phase where she sometimes lies to me - her own mother. Also, my in-laws are a nightmare. Golly gee whillakers - why did I ever let her visit them so much! The son they raised turned out to be a suicidal junkie! I'm really worried they'll try to trick her into buying them a house and signing a lot of her money over to them. The good news is that well before this incident happened the lawyers locked up all the money in a trust so they can't steal from her. Thank god for that!

    Please don't take all this the wrong way. I love my daughter and think she's a great kid. I'm just worried she's surrounded by people around her who are a bad influence. My late husband's sister has alcohol abuse issues - that are so bad that even Kelly Osbourne was worried about her.

    Ok. Time for me to take a deep breath, step away from this situation and visit some friends for girl talk. It worries me that my daughter is going to be all over the tabloids over this and I hope she's strong enough to handle it. I just wish my daughter had considered her options. She could have enrolled at Simon's Rock of Bard College. She could have asked for legal emancipation. Heck, she is only a couple months away from legal adulthood and I trust her so I would not have fought that. It just tears me up inside to see her going to people I think are going to take advantage of her. She is going to be hanging out with the type of celebrity family blood suckers that led to all the problems with Britney Spears last year. And, doesn't she realize that these are the same people who raised her father in such a self destructive atmosphere that he had severe mental health issues that led to his addictions and eventual suicide? What is she thinking?

    Drat! I have to deal with the real estate agent today. Frances Bean, you are my daughter and I hope you know I love you unconditionally - I'm just very, very worried about you and the choices you are making.

    -------------------------------------------

    Today's Facebook posts translated from Drunk To English:

    Jeepers! I didn't mean to make that post public. I don't understand the new Facebook privacy settings. Well, no use crying over spilt milk. I wish people understood that I'm not angry at my daughter. I'm angry at the people who are manipulating her. I don't want her to end up like Jamiie Lynn Spears. She has so much potential. She could be a writer or artist or anything. I will always support her hopes and dreams 100 percent. What pains me is that the media will turn this into a circus and I believe that people - teenagers especially - value and deserve their privacy.

    I really miss hanging out with my daughter and the way our relationship used to be when she was younger. I hope she isn't worrying about me. She has to live her own life and growing apart from your parents is a normal part of growing up. I really just want her to be happy, find a nice place to live and go to the university of her choice. That's all I've ever wanted for her.

    Now, Mr. Hilton. I think you've made an error and should re-evaluate your position. Your own lawyer made a comment that I could just sell out for $15 million and all my problems would go away. But, life is never that simple. Right now, I'm in a little bit of a tizzy about the way you have been talking about me. That message was supposed to be part of a private conversation and was only accidentally posted in a public forum. In addition, and I'm sure this is a mistake on your part, you seem to have incorrectly transposed some of my prose. I hope you can correct your error in a timely manner and in the future respect my privacy because it is so gauche when lawyers have to get involved in situations like this. I'm sure this is a misunderstanding and I hope you have a super day.

Love (well, maybe the Perez part is more funny than true. Or maybe not). Maybe it's because I am a mother myself, but I feel for C. Love. Though I do not believe she is fit to parent in any way.

    @drunkexpatwriter: I thought some of her earlier ramblings were not entirely crazy. I think she is manic and hurried and doesn't think at all before she types, hence the typos and nutty stream of conscience blather. But my impression is that in the past she surrounded herself with sycophantic people who sheltered her from her financial mess and that when she found out about it she honestly had no idea what happened, hence the paranoia and accusations. Which is bizarre and irresponsible, of course. But how many famous folks aren't in that situation? Plus, the recording industry is so shady in their dealings with artists that I can't blame her for feeling like someone had hosed her. Having said that, I still think she is mostly (though not completely) cuckoo bananas.
