    I seemed to remember that as soon as Paris went on Larry King, post-jail, the thunderstorm blew over and the
    media backed off of her. I think the public saw a little glimmer of her humanity and not just a spoiled, dopey, racist heiress. I'm not defending her; just making an observation.

    Or Larry is magic.

    @Banjo-Sea Kitten: Didn't really work for Chris Brown though, but that's because he sucks worse than Paris.

    Britney used to be a pretty good singer, until she ruined her voice and now uses vocal sweetening on recordings and lip-syncs in public.

    Taylor Swift was never a very good singer, so she uses vocal sweetening on recordings, but proudly sings off-key in public.

    Which means we've entered an era of concurrent fake-itude and realism, and no one under 25 cares what the difference is.

    @TedSez: Really? Britney Spears had talent? I've never heard her even hit a real note. Her voice is, at best, very thin.

    Taylor Swift really should have been kept around Nashville as a very talented songwriter, but because she's so lovely, they decided to make her a star. Ladyfriend can't sing, I'll give you that.

    Sodomy is any sex that isn't for procreation (anal and oral copulation according to Webster's), so how do we know Mr. Mayer isn't just talking about a lively, consensual face fucking?

    If I dated both Jennifer Aniston and Jessica Simpson I'd equate dating women with shame and punishment too.

    This quote sounds more closet gay than rapist to me:

    "It's crazy to me that in my head, that being 32 and dating women is going to get me in trouble," he said, talking faster as he went along. "I can't even explain to you how terrible that feels, that I equate dating a woman with punishment, shame, guilt, disappointment, reproach, reprimand, persecution. It's a nightmare."

    @drunkexpatwriter: I didn't read either from that. He's saying that when he dates anyone the press turns it into this bad thing and gets him into trouble, hence he equates dating with having to deal with constant criticism in the media.

    Just not sure how it's closeted gay OR rapey.

    @Tiger Lourdes: Zombie Hunter:

    "I equate dating a woman with punishment, shame, guilt, disappointment" is very similar to how some of my gay friends have described what it was like when they were trying to force themselves to be straight.

    I'm with you that I don't see anything rapey in his quote.

    @drunkexpatwriter: Yeah, it's pretty common when someone is under a microscope of any kind to equate their personal life with the negative attention it often receives. Whether it's a group of friends or the media. And honestly, no matter what the guy does he's criticized! But, that hardly makes it "rapey".
