    Wow, now I need to become a famous celebrity chef, so I can write a memoir revealing how my first venture into haute cuisine involved roasting and eating my baby brother.

    I love Gawker specifically for the snark I can't get anywhere else, and while I definitely got a few laughs from the timeline of crazy (can't WAIT for the Suri Cruise memoir), I still think it's a bit much to place blame on Mackenzie Phillips by positioning her as a famewhore.

    Obviously this has made her "relevant" again, and will make her a lot of money, but this woman was a victim of rape by her father at the age of 19. She was also (uncomfortably, she admits) in a long-term incestuous relationship that was founded on drug use. I simply cannot place blame on her. She's too messed up to be seen as anything other than a victim.

    I will, however, place blame on her publisher and on Oprah, who sure picked up this story quickly. There are a lot of way to cope, but publishing a book? I can only hope this was an emotional release for her in some way.

    @chickachicka: Think of it this way- everyone knows that Mackenzie Phillips has had a long, horrific battle with drugs. Everyone knows that her dad was her partner in her addiction, and in many ways facilitated it. WHY do we need to know this? We don't. She does not need to write a book about this to heal or stay sober. When Rehab programs talk about "rigorous honesty" , they are not talking about shit like this.

    @chickachicka: i'm a bit torn with all of this.
    part of me thinks she is just a crazy junkie who needs to sell books/garner attention (hell, her own sister had to get her own spread in US Weekly over this story this week....makes you wonder what kind of support she has ever gotten from her family)
    but the other half of me just cannot believe someone would make all this up. i think she finally went to rehab (after last year's embarrassing arrest) and is finally admitting why she has been so fucked up.
    but seriously, is this cathartic? i don't think so. i think it's a small piece of a very sad puzzle. this poor woman will never be healthy and normal - because of her own actions and because of the actions of BOTH of her parents. it's tragic as all hell.

    This Phillips person has the distinct look of some I have known who have been abducted by aliens for Satanic Sexual Abuse. The resemblance is uncanny. Like Downs Syndrome almost.

    So because the topic is uncomfortable and shows the dark side of drug use, you write an article to poke fun at her revelation. Perhaps, confronting and acknowledging the situation will allow her to recover. This is tasteless.

    The book only speculates that possibly maybe Lennon might have had a vague crush on McCartney, who denies even an inkling of that on Lennon's part. The book does not in the least claim they had a "gay relationship". Which would be quite the worldwide bombshell if it were true.

    The only I find thing more sickening than her revelation is this article. Using child molestation as a setup for snark is unacceptable to me.

    @PhyrePhox: I don't think the post is using "child molestation" as a set-up for snark. It's using as snark quasi-celebrities' shocking and possibly dubious revelations for purposes of selling a book/making a buck/reclaiming some notoriety. There's a difference.

    @Atilla the Bun: Right you are, champ. Remember The Children's Hour, about little children who learned very quickly where the power equation was and how to talk advantage of it? And this was many years before Jerry Springer even.
