Won't quote the picture. But I find it somehow deeply disturbing. That a 19 year old girl thinks she has to look like that and pose like that to get approval and praise and attention. I find it disgusting and offensive as a woman. And I am not usually the militant type. I don't know how Adam was not creeped out to pose with her. Ewwwwwww. I'll write something in favor of treating her in the spirit of the Trevor project. Adam doesn't get creeped out by much of anything other than people trying to put other people in boxes. Like an anorexic her body image is probably flawed but like many many people she might just like herself this way. It's more permanent than the costumes that Adam likes but not much different than tatoos. I do think that her history and upbringing means that she doesn't know who she is, has had no guidance in finding her real self, and is as lost of a soul as anyone else that the Trevor project was created to help. Good point. I always felt that way about Michael Jackson--he ruined his good looks by overdoing plastic surgery, but I felt he should be pitied for that and not ridiculed. I read that when he was growing up, his father called him "ugly" and his brothers called him "big nose." They may have thought they were just teasing, but I think the words got under Michael's skin and made him think he had to undergo constant correction with surgery. I will follow your example and give this woman the benefit of the doubt. I hope she reaches a point in her young life where she realizes that she doesn't have to sculpt a new body or a new face to be accepted. |

I reacted like ... WTF????? You made it clearer ... Now I am not sooooo negative in my reaction anymore but still ??? Thank you a million times, I still don't get it, but a voice of reason is always welcome when we are waaaaayyy out of our comfort zone. [picture the purple smooch lips here] ;-) |

What a lovely, compassionate response. Thanks so much for that. |

please take pity on me and explain what this means... I saw she is coming out with videos for all the songs on her album - unless I misunderstood ( as I my attention span dealing with anyone but Adam is close to none...) From what I gather, the "sneak attack" refers to the fact that this new album was released only on i-tunes and without the usual advance PR and fanfare. I guess when you're Beyonce, your brand is a self-propelling machine. news.yahoo.com/beyonce-releases-itunes-exclusive-album-125339964.html |

Courtney Stodden is only nineteen or twenty, I think, and she was truly a beautiful girl just naturally. It is hard to fathom that this extreme look is what she wants, but I think it is. SHE'S ONLY TWO YEARS OLDER THAN ME ?!?!? *cough* sorry I'll shut up .
Yeah.. and now she looks like in her 30s..
