I don't know why I find that information hilarious.

 

I think it's because this situation is so completely the antithesis of Lori Loughlin's good girl image. Aunt Becky defrauding higher education? Say it ain't so!!

 

 

Next on Lifetime. From Full House To Big House: The Lori Laughlin Story.

Mama Khan is STUNNED.  She's a big fan of "Garage Sale Mysteries."

 

So is mine. She loves all the Hallmark movies.

As dispiriting as I know it must be, I guess it's better that these kids found out how things truly are early on, instead of years after you obtain your degree and still struggled to get opportunities, like many of us did.

 

An incredibly important reminder that the college admissions scandal underscores the racial and economic disparities that plague access to higher education. https://t.co/71Mnp8o0LN by ⁦@jeligon⁩ and ⁦@abscribe⁩

To me, it just confirms what I said yesterday: for whatever reason, I always found Felicity Huffman to be off-putting and unlikable.  And apparently, I wasn't alone in that opinion, or else why would people in the entertainment industry not be all that surprised by her indictment?

 

If I were William H. Macy, I would think long and hard about whether I'd want to stay in that marriage.  Not that I think he's above reproach -- I'm with you there, @DRW50! -- but talk about a toxic marriage!  In an instant, the two have become an embarrassment and a liability to each other.

 

He was in on it too. I'm not sure why he hasn't been indicted. The transcripts make it pretty clear that he knew what was going on.

 

Welp!

When Calls the Heart gonna have to kill off Mayor Abigail 😂

Do people honestly need a service to "guide" them through the college application process?  Or is it looking for ways to find loopholes, legal and otherwise?  This statement rings hollow to me.

 

Our family, along with thousands of others, used Rick Singer’s company to guide us through the college admission process. We are shocked by the revelations of these events. Obviously, we were not part of this fraud, our kids would disown us if we ever tried to interfere.

What about killing off Aunt Becky? 

 

Jesse could empathize with Danny now.

*passes popcorn* 

I wonder if they will cancel When Calls the Heart or just write her out quickly. How many episodes are left to air. 

 

My parents enjoy the show and watch all her Hallmark movies. She really did have some longtime fans out there.

 

I imagine most of those fans will still be around, but this was the worst possible scandal for a Hallmark career. So many parents and grandparents will have seen red when they heard about what she did. For someone so smart in her career choices, this was incredibly stupid. 

 

Don't try to live through your children. This is what you get.

No, but when you have unlimited funds you start letting people do everything for you. I'm not saying this person is innocent. Just that it wouldn't surprise me that rich people hire others to coordinate the college application process.

I certainly do.  Not really as a parent since my children haven't even started kindergarten. This just strikes at some of the myths we tell ourselves about fair opportunity.  The system is rigged in so many ways and that someone would take it to this next step absolutely enrages me, even though it doesn't directly affect me.
