The latest tabloid headline is about Shiloh, Angelina's daughter and why she keeps dressing her as a boy. People are actually saying that Angie is trying to turn her 3 year old into a lesbian. Really? Do people have nothing better to do? I cant beleive this is their lead story and front cover material

Oh dear God... well, first off, the kid might be going through a tomboy stage, OR she could very well be displaying some early gender identity stuff that I'm sure a "with it" mom like Angelina would support (even overly indulge :ph34r: ). But the tabs not giving a [!@#$%^&*] about this kid's future is the real point, like in five years when she's at school and some little bitches bring in the magazine that their mom had in a stack in the basement and tease her because her mom "hated having a daughter and wanted to turn her into a boy." Geesh.

That's just despicable stuff. Yes, let's shame and hurt children from as early as possible, and reinforce ugly gender stereotypes. And all this based on one photo? A lot of little girls have hair like that, and clothes. Apparently they think all little girls dress like Suri Cruise.

This happens alot with today's mothers. If their children display tendencies that are not stereotyplical "Male" or "Female" then they don't try to discourage or shame the child. I have a client whose 7 year old boy is gay, obviously. But she just goes with it, and lets him do what he wants, he rides a bike with a disney princess helmet, has a toy pink Barbie jeep, and dresses up in purple fairy Godmother costumes for Halloween. And this is what the child picks out HIMSELF. I used to wrap myself in a pink towel and pretend I was Barbara Eden, and my other DID discourage such behaviour, BUT... she also gave complete and unconditional love, and didn't make me feel strange for it. Pretty progressive for a mother in the early 70's in the rural ozarks. So this doesn't surprise me.... although on the other hand, I DO feel Angelina is cuckoo for Coco Puffs.

    • Keith D Robinson is 49. Maurice Johnson is 46.
    • I hope they give him more to do than just be a prick as you say. I can see how viewers would like him because the actor is so charming despite the character being such an absolute pain.    I would agree. And there was also the undercurrent of Raven and Draper sort of flirting with each other. The actors play that attraction and it worked so well in that scene. 
    • Daniel Cosgrove is PERFECT as the sleezy politician. This might be my favorite role of his. All of these people keeping Kristina’s secret is so annoying. I really want her to pay.
    • What did happen to Beth between 86 and 89? Did she have amnesia?
    • I actually thought he came off as younger. It's so hard to buy Martin as Nicole and Ted's son unless they had him when they were 12.
    • @chrisml Isn't remarkable that, on a soap whose brand is built on twists and mysteries, that Raven's last straw was as simple as Logan saying that she was incapable of loving Jamey.  In the episode when Raven exit's and leaves Jamey with April, I can remember feeling the subtext that Raven is also trying to talk herself into leaving him behind.  There's so much in that little scene.  She's trying to stick it to Logan for saying she was a bad mother.  She's both granting April's wish, and damning her with the old adage of being careful what she wished for.  And, she's hinting to Draper that she's going to boff his father. It remains my favorite scene, and it still blows my mind that was not the end of that episode.  
    • Oh lord not Drew just figured out it was both Nina and Portia that set him up. Willow WILL never leave this man. Ric taking the case purely just to spite Sonny is [!@#$%^&*].ing hilarious.
    • And in addition to Patti being de-aged, she was no longer a nurse, divorced from Len(fair enough) and her two children were not seen and barely mentioned. So basically she was a totally new character. For newer viewers it didn't matter but any loyal viewers would have been wondering about all the changes with Patti. Sarah Whiting always puzzled me. The writers finally decide to acknowledge Jo's family and do so by making up a never mentioned adopted teen. Why not just bring in Tracey, Jo's actual grandaughter? As for Liza, perhaps it would have been wise to rest the character when Sherry left. They were big shoes to fill and her Liza was so identified with Travis. I don't recall what was going on in the story at that time but if they knew Sherry was leaving, write it so Liza would leave town to care for an ailing Janet and take a breather with the character for a few months.
    • Ahh interesting. Yeah, that's sad for A-M. I will say, he and Nick became fast friends when Susan started working at Spaulding. A-M/Lucy/Nick/Susan had a lot of double dates in those 7 months. A-M was Nick's best man at his wedding to Susan, which now that I think about it, is odd that he wouldn't have considered Fletcher. I remember those two were so close at the paper, and even living together with Ben. Once Tangie left SF, Nick left the paper, and Fletcher/Holly were rarely seen... so I guess they felt that friendship wasn't shown often enough anymore (which again, lazy writing).
    • I honestly don't think Alan-Michael ever really had a friend on the show. Maybe Cameron or Samantha, but otherwise... *Cameron was a high school friend who ended up dating teenage Dinah after she broke up with A-M. Samantha is Phillip's biological sister, who A-M treated like a sister. Interestingly enough, they were born the same week on the show in 1981, but A-M ends up being older than her when she returns to town in '89.
