PEOPLE POLL: Will the Photos Help or Hurt Miley? -... →
Help. I think her sudden dislike of the Vanity Fair photos is kind of suspicious, especially if it’s true that they were shot digitally and that she had seen them on the day of the shoot. My guess is that Disney didn’t like the way they came out..

The healthnut me is like, yeah, this make sense. But from a feminist angle I can’t support it. It’s up to each woman to decide what they want to eat and if they want to starve themselves. Are they going to regulate male model’s food intake as well? My body, my choice. I’ll be interested to see how this plays out and if France is successful regulating their fashion media..

Right. Hillary has SO much in common with the Pennsylvanians she’s met on the trail. I love how she’ll pander to anyone with a heartbeat. “I’m totally for gun control, but wait, I’m also one of you and love guns! Yippee!”

We’re in full production mode here at Oxmour Entertainment and I’m genuinely stoked. We are working our butts off, but I’m having so much fun I hardly notice.
My brother flew out this weekend from D.C. and it was just such a treat seeing him and working together again! He’s gained so much experience as a producer since the last time we collaborated and is actually on a...
