    Wait, where's all the outrage about Jimmy Kimmel dating his staffer?

    Did she get special privileges? Did he use his power and prestige to seduce a naive young writer who's barely over 30? Did he ever sleep with her while dating Sarah? Does he have a fold-out couch in his office? Has he ever told sex jokes about other celebrities?

    Oh, and also, did the former co-host of "The Man Show" create a hostile work environment? We demand to know!

    I thought half the point of getting take-out was so you didn't have to tip. Delivery, you tip. Eating in, you tip. Take-out is supposed to save you that 15-20%.

    @labyrinthine IS DOING THIS: If they do something additional for me, like if I ask them to go and get me a drink while I wait or whatever, then I'll give them a buck or two. Otherwise you don't get a tip for handing me something.

    @Dictator for Life: If I'm a regular and I'm getting takeout, I can usually come up with a buck or two to make it 10%. For me, it's less about principle and more about the relationship I have with the staff.

    If you're a world-famous celebrity, it's probably a good idea to tip anything that moves, just to save yourself the public abuse. (Then again, if I were a world-famous celebrity, I'd send a hanger-on to get my takeout.)

    $70 for steak and mac+cheese? Either it was for a few more people than just Miley and sister, or there's some Olympic-class bulimia going on in that household.

    Oh, and Rudy Giuliani is definitely a dick, and he's been one as long as he's been newsworthy. Between being a lawyer, a prosecuting attorney, a politician, and a prude, does anyone really expect him to be anything else?

    "Shtupping" and "putz" must be my favorite Yiddishisms of all times. Both these wonderful words, "Frumpracula" AND a Dickens reference? Fire the rockets! Do the hora! Adderall all around!

    Tell you what, Foster: I have a quickfire challenge for you. If you manage to work in "shtupping" in every item you post for the rest of the day, there will be a prize for you at the end.

    Totally late to the game, but your The Grind reference yesterday made this piss-poor weekend...uh...tolerable, at the very least. Now I'm going to sit back, and reflect on better days at the Jersey shore, doing bumps off a kitten's paw beneath the Howard Johnson in Asbury. It's true because it happened.

    Re: that Miley Cyrus story. I didn't know you're supposed to tip when you get take out. I thought the tip was for service, but if I'm not getting served, why would I?

    Maybe I'm just ignorant. Also, who gets Outback takeout?

    @sparklyharempants: Honestly? They work in restaurants. It takes them five to ten minutes for someone to take your order, process it, make sure it's right, and get it to you. Should it be this way? No! Is it this way? Yes! So you can either rebel against the dominant paradigm, or not stiff someone. Your call.

    You know, I actually didn't know anything about T.I. until my gf made me watch an ep of "road to redemption" and he's actually a really stand-up kind of great guy. I mean, he talks a lot about making mistakes and how he's pretty content to serve his time for the things that he's done (weapons possession charge).


    I think he's a great model for hip hop. Just a dude who's got a lot of integrity. But integrity in the classical, great kind of way where you take responsibility for your actions.

    Great job on that Llama Song link. Thanks to the "More Videos" function I'll now have half an hour of incoherent tweeked-out cartoon synth-pop branded into my head for the next three days.

    Another reason Hulu sucks: You can't find versions on YouTube that edit out the unfunny parts, leaving only the mildly smirkworthy parts.

    Costa Rica? Sounds like Heidi & Spencer and their "supercelebritydom" weren't needed in LA, and they've wormed their way back to "I'm a Celebrity (term used loosely) Get me Out of Here" for the third time.
