Wait, did I call tech-support? Is this an outsourced recap? And no one named Bob even thanked me for calling Cablevision (via Sri Lanka) or asked me to take a survey.
Where do I say I'm not paying the bill because my cable was out for .9 seconds on the 16th of July, 2002?
I hope this girl absolutely destroys this job. I hope every day she spent in that RV becomes the fuel for something powerful and incisive about the human condition. Fuck every coddled kid whose dreams she just leapfrogged - few, if any, deserve this chance as much as she does.
@gladys_kravitz: I just checked it out in our media database and indeed, she is a contributing writer for elle. The funny thing is she's listed as, literally, Ms. E. Jean Carroll. The description says "Carroll is a Contributing Editor and writes the Ask E. Jean column. She answers letters every month and gives relationship advice to readers... Carroll has been writing her column since the early 1990s. Her work has also appeared in Esquire, Rolling Stone and Spin. Carroll also co-founded GreatBoyfriends.com, where she matches single women with men that are recommended from other women."
@Conchie Birdie: Thanks, Conchie. There's just something about the photos that run along with the column and the whole tone of it that always make me thinks she's some kind of composite that they slapped a pic of an eccentric looking woman on.
Well, at least Elle didn't directly contribute to the circumstances of her homelessness, and then claim credit for her "up and at 'em attitude." NYU can't say as much:
rant #2: her car is only 4 years old? lucky bitch.
also, guess i should apologize for the below comment insinuating she's choosing unemployment over working belittling herself to work at wal-mart. looks like she's finding a position somewhere at a npo or something.
@Hamilton Nolan: Not sure if this is sarcastic, but look through the site dudes. A giant dog and homeless? Okay, I see the homeless or vagabonds all the time with animals. Recently saw a dog riding a motorcycle with his master and everything else they owned. But a bull mastiff?
@klondikedog: Right? Worst case scenario wouldn't you just move back in with your parents? I realize it's not ideal, but living in your car with your dog would be way worse in my opinion.
My other beef is that in my own worst case scenario, I'd not only be livin it up with the 'rents, I'd also be handing in applications at the Wal-mart, not just sleeping in their parking lot. That would suck ass, yes, but at some point our society needs to get over this whole entitlement, 'I wanna be a celebrity' bullshit and suck it up to survival - whatever that may be.
(*disclaimer: I'd actually be working on an organic farm in exchange for meager pay and food. Wal-mart is part of the reason all of our jobs are now being filled in China.)
Maybe she doesn't have parents to move in with. Maybe she HAS put applications in to every fast food restaurant, convenience store, and gas station within a fifty mile radius.
Do you all really think that all homeless people are dirty old "vagabonds" who live with mangy mutts?
I am still amazed, and a bit saddened, at how quickly she has ruined any chance of a serious acting career. She obviously uses extremely poor judgement, but is there absolutely no person in her life to help guide her a little bit in the right direction?
Don't get me wrong, if she is stealing jewels from photo shoots that is her problem, but the whole clusterfuck that her life has become is just sad.
Yeah, I'm aware of what complete trainwrecks her parents are, wich is why I wondered if there was any other person in her life to help her since they cannot be counted on other that to fuck things up more.
@Looker: at this point, she's going to have to hit rock bottom (again?) and learn something her own damned self. or she's screwed. either way, it's an old story and i've got people i actually know going through shit to worry about.
I'm in LA and went to the Chateau Monmart. Used the ladies room and kept thinking, "Lindsay Lohan threw up in here". Sad. Then I saw Seth Meyers walking by, and I got happy.
@Bellyboop: After you went to the Chateau Monmart, I hope you got a chance to see the famed Hollydale Sign, Garvin's Chinese Theatre and the star-studded clothing store, Fred Spiegel.

Really? Are you people serious?
Maybe she doesn't have parents to move in with. Maybe she HAS put applications in to every fast food restaurant, convenience store, and gas station within a fifty mile radius.

You've seen her parents?
