And yet Paris was the one who was disinherited (or something like that)? Compared to him she is the most stable!

I am pretty sure Paris hasn't been disinherited from her parents, they tried to spin the fact that she wasn't getting crazy cash a few years ago but both of her siblings were in the same boat and they weren't disinherited just the media spin on the fact that none of the "heiresses" got some huge payout when their grandfather died. I say heiresses because at the time of the story the media didn't give a shit the Conrad existed.

Yeah, it's sad when Paris is the shining beacon in the family. At least she's built on and expanded the family empire. I can't even believe how much she makes off her fragrances.

I always wonder how depressing it is for these dynasties to realize they've raised a bunch of losers who are going to do nothing but sponge off them for the rest of their lives. To work so hard to build something, and then have no one in the family capable of carrying it on must be depressing. But then, they're the ones who failed to raise them, so whatever.

It's pretty much a cliche now that one generation amasses a fortune, the next curates it, and the next blows it. I'm not sure it's any more comforting to realize your family has lived up to the cliche, but as swsa says-- whatever.

Whatever happened to Nicky and her handbags? I always thought she was way more stable than Paris.

Rob Van Winkle, a.k.a. Vanilla Ice, arrested for burglary.

From David Bowie and Queen?

Nah, brah! Ice sampled from them but it was a different bass line. They're totally different. One goes "Ding-ding-ding-di-di-ding-ding, ding-ding-ding-di-di-ding-ding" and the other goes "Ding-ding-ding-di-di-ding-ding, ding-ding-ding-ding-di-di-ding-ding". Not the same thing at all.

I guess this goes here? Jon Hamm involved in 1990 Fraternity Hazing Incident

Oh, fraternities. All the things going on today have gone on in the past, only without social media to call these frat bros out on their criminal and criminally stupid behavior.

Domestic violence allegations against Bill O'Reilly

M. reported—having seeing an incident where I believe she said her dad was choking her mom or had his hands around her neck and dragged her down some stairs.

Josh Duggar molested five underage girls as a teenager, some being his sisters. More statements from the family here. There were whispers for years that Josh had been caught up in something inappropriate, but lots of people thought it was something really benign that the Duggars turned into a huge deal, like he'd just kissed a girl without a chaperone. If only!

I already felt bad for those poor girls, stuck mothering their younger siblings and only allowed to "court" and marry a man their father picked out for them, now add that they were likely expected to "keep sweet" about something so heinous. All their talk of girls and women having to be modest to keep from defrauding men takes on a whole new sick twist now. 19 Kids and Counting has to go the way of Here Comes Honey Boo Boo. TLC has to be freaking out and doubling down on background checks.

mokey75 Fri May 22, 2015 3:02 pm

I pay as little attention as possible to the Duggars, but that story just angers and saddens me. Those poor, poor girls. I hope TLC cancels their stupid show, but if they haven't yet (and were running a freaking MARATHON OF THE SHOW yesterday as the police report hit the internet), I bet they won't.

QueenSix Fri May 22, 2015 3:49 pm

I can see why people would like the show/family or be fascinated with them because on the surface, they're a big family where they get on, help one another, and try to lead good lives. The world is a shitty place so you'd be forgiven for wanting a respite from it or from your own family if you have a couple of kids who constantly shriek at one another because of Reasons.
But the fact that they're so cloistered, especially the girls, and that they're so ultra conservative, and then you look at that Gothard principles they follow and it's just so repressive. That's why they're all so 'good' because it's been drilled out of them since day 1 or frightened out of them maybe.

And TLC have pulled the show off the air.

Maybe Mark Salling and Jared will end up cellmates.

Charges finally filed against Bill Cosby.

I can't wait for Larry Wilmore's reaction.

jennlynnster Wed Dec 30, 2015 5:00 pm

Right?! Because he hasn't forgotten about that asshole.

katesti Wed Dec 30, 2015 6:36 pm

Hah, I just relistened to Larry's Fresh Air interview from earlier this year and they talk about his Cosby material - I had the exact same thought when I saw this news.

Not technically the law, but Anna Faris is a bad dog owner.

Mark Salling's going to jail. Ick.
