Lea Michele Blatantly Lies To MARIE CLAIRE Magazine

[SonofRobbieJ]

It says it in Cuban.

You're welcome.

[luvtheEmcee]

That's racist.

[SonofRobbieJ]

But Lea told me it was ok!

[luvtheEmcee]

Those Jews.

(Should I insert some full-disclosure for the newbies? It has, after all, been ten f-ing years.)

[Jay Lerner-Z]

Lea may be a bitch, but she should be able to sleep with whomever and however many people she wants to without Kelly2 calling her a ho.

[Kelly2]

Jay, there is a difference between someone who sleeps around and a ho. Having frequent sex doesn't make you a ho. It's...an indefinable extra commitment that's required.

[SonofRobbieJ]

Aren't there enough unlikable qualities about people that we can avoid slut-shaming them?

[Kelly2]

SonofRobbieJ, slut-shaming is really an inappropriate word here and since you're talking to a gender studies minor, I suggest not furthering the topic because I have a tendency to speak on it at great length.

One could argue, and I do, that acting as though having sex is something that needs to be hidden and is something to be ashamed of is much more damaging.

I just think Lea needs to make a decision regarding her "persona", and whether that decision is that she would like to behave like an adult and be treated like one or that she would rather stay pristine and a "role model" for her many younger fans is not my call. They're both valid choices. I just prefer people being as honest as possible about themselves, though I know expecting that of ANYBODY in Hollywood is a big no.

[SonofRobbieJ]

Well...then I would hope a gender studies minor would choose their words more carefully. Calling someone a 'ho,' when what you meant to say is something more complicated relating to Hollywood imaging and the uncomfortable position grown women can find themselves in when their primary audience is a younger demographic is beneath the work you've done in college.

[Kelly2]

You're never too classy to call a ho a ho. And this has been far over the amount of time I'm comfortable spending on someone as not relevant to my life as Lea Michele.

Gender studies minors are allowed a sense of humor, you know.

[SonofRobbieJ]

Theoretically.

[Brookie2]

I like how this entire thread is the same few people over and over again trying to prove something. And what it proves is that Lea Michele is better than all of you. Bottom line: Lea works HARD for what she has.

[Kad]

Thanks, Lea's agent.

[luvtheEmcee]

Case CLOSED.

[JRybka1611]

Anyone want me to make more popcorn? This is fun!

[SporkGoddess]

Wait, she's better than me at what? Being a Broadway star? Well, that makes sense, seeing as how I'm not even in the industry.

[Reginald Tresilian]

"And what it proves is that Lea Michele is better than all of you."

That was my take-away.

[Phyllis Rogers Stone]

I think she's better at being a bitch, too.

[Kad]

She definitely wouldn't disagree with that, Reg.
