The fairy tale nightmare

Have you seen this girl? Do you know who she is? If so, please contact authorities in Washington, her home state, so that they can put her into state custody of foster parents that don't allow their sixteen year old daughter to marry a fifty-one year old man and become a complete slut in the process. I don't like using the word slut, but she calls for it.

This is Courtney Stodden and she is the prime example as to why little girls should no grow up to idealize Paris Hilton and the like.

For those of you that don't know, she was a nice girl from Washington who had bad parenting and in turn ended up marrying some 51 year old actor that starred in the movie, "The Green Mile" and was on some episodes of the show, "Lost". They met because she attended a work shop that he put on and from there, they somehow ended up getting married.

This is what she looked like before she married the guy.

Courtney and her screwed up in the head husband have shocked America with their union. Why? I think it's because they feel sorry for this poor seventeen year old that is essentially being statutory raped every night. Fine, she claims that she's in love and that she happily obliged to marrying someone older than her actual Father but I don't buy it for a second.

The frontal lobe of the brain enables the average human to have the ability to recognize future consequences resulting from current actions, to choose between good and bad actions, override and suppress unacceptable social responses, and determine similarities and differences between things or events. The frontal lobe also plays an important role in retaining long term memories associated with emotions, and modifies those emotion to generally fit socially acceptable norms.

The frontal lobe does not fully develop until age 25. With that said, now we can all feel more sorry for this girl. Someone save her.  

And now, I present to you Anderson Cooper essentially agreeing with me. 

And finally, I present to you what the poor girl has become. A mockery. This is not funny, it's terribly sad.

The epitome of denial

I don't like Maria Schriver. There, I've said it. I think she's a disgrace to women.

Walking among us is a strange subculture of women who willingly turn a blind eye to the infidelity in their marriages. I imagine these women saying to themselves "I'm his wife, she's merely the mistress." Well ladies, that in no way justifies your husband's behavior and lack of respect for you.

For those of you that don't know Maria Schriver was married to Arnold Schwarzenegger for twenty five years. During that time, he fathered his now 14 year old illegitimate son with none other than his mistress, the nanny of the household. The nanny had been employed by Arnold and Maria for twenty years, working in their home until the scandal broke. The most disturbing fact? His illegitimate son was born less than one week after his youngest son with Maria. 

Now, I'm sorry but there is no way in hell Maria looked at her nanny's son on a regular basis and never put two and two together. Look at him.

Maria definitely knew the truth the entire time but could not admit it to herself or to others. She was too afraid to question the truth because she didn't want to have to accept it. She didn't want everyone to know that her life had come to that. I hope her 14 years of denial was worth it. I truly believe that she would have lived the rest of her days on earth accepting the dysfunction of her life if the scandal had never been exposed to the public. 

Maria is a not only a weak woman, she is a weak individual. There is an important lesson to be learned from Maria. When something is going on in your relationship that's not right, speak up and address your problems. If you don't, you will eventually become disassociated from normalcy and everyone will see that except for you. People will in turn think less of you and loose respect for you. Have respect for yourself and if your man is is so deeply involved with your nanny to the point that he's giving her babies, woman up and leave his ass. 

Maria, this is what you should have been singing to Arnold the first day you laid eyes of his love child as opposed to putting yourself in the position of seeing your husband's mistress and her son on a regular basis in your home associating with your children for 14 years. Sick. 

Hipster heartache

Zooey Deschanel separated from her husband today. Her husband is the lead singer of both The Postal Service and Deathcab for Cutie. I like her music more than I do his, so here you go.

The dumb jock

Do you ever feel sorry for stupid people? I do.

In the past two days I've wondered why on earth Kris Humphries ever decided to go through with his marriage to Kim Kardashian in the first place. I've come to the conclusion that it's because he thought that she was pretty and he liked having sex with her. He's 26 years old and a basketball player, what more could you expect? Ignorance is bliss.

Although I think he's stupid for obvious reasons, I also think that he's a really nice guy and it saddens me that he devoted his life to someone that didn't appreciate his good heart and kind soul.

During the E! wedding special it was a huge deal to him that Kim didn't want to legally change her last name to Humphries when they got married. As a traditional man from the Midwest, this meant a lot to him. In the end, Kim chose to keep her maiden name. Although he was greatly disappointed by this, he knew that he still loved Kim. Because he loved her so much and knew how much it meant to her to keep her name, he had custom diamond bracelet made for her to wear on their wedding day. The bracelet had two diamond K's dangling from it. This was his way of showing her that he loved her and wanted her to be happy and if that meant keeping her maiden name, he was all for it. When I saw that he gifted that bracelet to her on her wedding day, I was touched. This was a great guy I thought. Not because he gave her a diamond bracelet but because of the sentimental meaning behind the gift. I was more than appalled to see the reaction of Kim and her female family members. They ogled at the diamond bracelet because of the diamonds. I'm confident in saying that based on their reaction, none of them even took into consideration what the gift signified. People like that are so deplorable and their priorities in life are so backwards.

Think of all the girls out there that would have loved to marry Kris Humphries and been so appreciative of such a meaningful gift. Yet, he decided to waste all his love and kindness on Kim, one of the most undeserving girls out there.

The other moment that really struck me in the E! wedding special was when the couple exchanged vows. Kris wrote the most heartfelt vows. I don't remember verbatim what was said but it was something along the lines that he knew how much her family meant to her, how impressed by the person that she was, etc. Basically he said a lot of meaningful, sweet things. When it was her turn, I was embarrassed for her. She sounded like an uneducated schoolgirl trying to express her non existent emotions. Again, I don't remember what was said word for word but she basically stated that she loved him and that she thought he was cool.

Kim deserves someone as shallow as she is, if she should be so lucky. I think she'll end up growing old and alone like Paris Hilton.

Self worth

To put it mildly, I can only begin to imagine how much it must have sucked for Jennifer Lopez to have lost Ben Affleck. If they were living in the world of High School, Jennifer Lopez was the cute Freshmen that caught the eye of the hottest Senior in school, Ben. He asked her out and from there her popularity went into overdrive. He soon realized that she became more preoccupied with the attention they recieved as a couple than with their actual relationship so he dumped her ass. Like any dumped person, Jennifer was heartbroken. Everyone seemed to have felt sorry for her because she lost her dream guy. Less than three months later she shocked many when she started dating Marc Anthony. She later went on to marry Marc Anthony and bare his children. People remained shocked. Why? I think it's because everyone was stunned to realize that through her despair of breaking up with Ben Affleck, she seemed to have lost all of her self esteem.

I don't know much about Marc Anthony except from what I have read about him and what I see when I look at pictures of him - He is thin, homely and controlling. Jennifer was beautiful, wealthy and widely successful when she met him. Like Julia Roberts and Lyle Lovett, it was sweet but something about it just didn't seem right.

One of my favorite quotes is, "Of all the words of mice and men, the saddest are "It might have been." To me, the underlying message of the quote is that it's important to not settle in life. Otherwise, you will feel perplexed in life always wondering what your potential may have been if you chose not to settle for anything less than what you expected for yourself.

Like many women and men, I believe that Jennifer Lopez woke up one day realizing that she sold herself short. I don't like to bash people. I'm sure that Marc has many great qualities as a person but I just don't think that he was up to par with Jennifer and she knew that too. It just took her a while to accept that. I'm proud of Jennifer for moving on in her life leaving someone behind that she knew she would never feel fully satisfied with.

I will end by saying that I think many people out there can learn from Jennifer's mistake. Many people have experienced a break up with someone that they thought was the perfect person for them. When you're the one broken up with by a person that you perceived as ideal, it can be a major blow to your feelings of self worth. That doesn't mean that you have to settle for the gross, skinny guy that has been after you for years.
