A couple thoughts on today’s posts. Kaiser is out again with her bangs “disorder”, that is what I am going to call it. There is nothing wrong with bangs. They look especially good on women with oval faces or women with high foreheads. And aren’t we all about letting women do what they want and be who they are? If they like bangs, so be it, and who is to say otherwise?

I also think Brie Larson looks fine as Captain Marvel. And I am not a fan of hers by any stretch, but maybe I will become one. ))) I especially liked one comment by someone who said, this is the first fully clothed female superhero. I am fully on board with that, I think we need more of that - more strong women who don’t have to be half dressed to hold attention. More women like Grace Jones.

Couldn’t believe the hate on the Kate posts. And I think Meghan is headed for sainthood.

—————————————————————————————————–

Lol, so yesterday I went and read the post about Meghan’s cookbook and the comments and I was just dying from laughter. The posters sound like teenage Taylor Swift fans, or Hanna Montana fans of a decade ago.

They all went and bought the book immediately on Amazon.. Yay! Why stop there, buy 5  copies, like Taylor’s fans. There is nothing wrong with it, I just thought it is funny they behave like that on a site that hates Taylor. Actually Meghan reminds me of Taylor so much in her manner and body language.

And all Meghan did, apparently, was writing the foreword for the book, or rather her PR person did, with Meghan’s input. It is such hard work, or as one person said “this is a modern, thinking royal”. I almost burst out laughing. No kidding.

I was banned from celebitchy..and just realized it. I think it was because I did not agree with all the Angelina Jolie saga..and I guess that is why I was banned. I was thinking it was becoming very one sided when it comes to certain celebrities. but I thought the tone was getting dark and very mean spirited.

————————————————————————————————–

And now you know why it is so one sided. Because everybody else is banned.

I got banned from Celebitchy because I brought up the subject of parental alienation and had felt the story of B. Pitt and A. Jolie on CB was very one sided…and the comments and Kaiser posted often about Pitt being an abusive alcoholic…I had a good friend who was a good Dad and he experience parental alienation and I wanted to point it out…now I am banned. I didnt realize how many have been struck from its comment section for petty reasons. 

————————————————————————————————-

Saying something that can be perceived as even slightly critical of Jolie is not allowed on CB, it is like cursing in church. Simply not done .)))

I still can’t get over the excuses for Cassel. He dated a teenager, 30 years his junior, cheated on his wife, and that is somehow is being excused along the lines “well, if I was in the same situation, I would’ve also jumped on the chance”. Duh, it is not about you, it is about him making a choice to date a teenager.

Henry Cavill was “cancelled” because he dated a 18 y.o. , while he  was 30 something, and not married to somebody else. I guess, unlike Cassell, Cavill didn’t get the pass because Kaiser is not attracted to him. 

Does she even hear herself? And it is interesting how commenters fall in line with Kaiser’s line of thinking, depending which man it is about. She trained them well. Either that, or she doesn’t let the comments which disagree with her through.

Anonymous asked: Why does Kasier think she's a fashionista? Why do her commenters think they know the first thing about fashion? They really don't! They don't know what tailoring means, they don't know what couture and bespoke means; they don't buy designer clothes, shoes, bags, etc., and they certainly don't know what's trendy from season to season. Basically, they have no clue about fashion and clothes. So why do they think they can judge famous women so harshly when it comes to their outfit choices?

My thoughts exactly.

I also don’t think many Celebitchy posters, if any, would be able to handle the treatment they, themselves, so freely dole out.

I have also been banned by Kaiser MULTIPLE TIMES!  I’ve used up all my personal, professional, and business e-mail addresses.  But half my comments were deleted anyway, even before I was banned.

Anyway, I know Kaiser has mentioned multiple times that she is half Indian, but she’s never said what the other half is?  I’m guessing she must be African American based on how if you don’t gush about other AA celebrities you will be banned or your comment deleted.  I’m guessing she’s also overweight, due to all her cries for body positivity and how we need more “real” and “average” women to be models and movie stars.

I’m guessing her demographic is exactly like her.  Any woman who is thin is accused of having an eating disorder, white women are consistently referred to as “beckies” by both Kaiser and her commenters, ad the term “whitesplaining” is used all to often.

—————————————————————————————————–

According to what Kaiser posted herself her father is Indian and her mother is white. My guess is that her parents are divorced and she was raised by her mother, because she just doesn’t show the knowledge of familiarity of Indian or Indian culture, or should I say cultures, since there are so many. 

In regards to African Americans, she courts this demographic for her site, but multiple times she showed not to have true interest or understanding of the topic, and every time she was called out for it, she responded by banning people or deleting whole chains of comments.

 Oh no. Oh no!! Hahahaha! I found this website when I accidentally googled “celebitchy.com” instead of entering it into my browser bar. I was like, “Oh? What’s this?” and clicked further down the page, to this Tumblr. Oh, my god. I’d had no IDEA others were banned from Celebitchy, too! 

So, ok, just a bit of backstory: I used to be a professional culture critic. I have bylines at NYTimes, Guardian, Paste Magazine, a variety of tech websites… I even covered Kesha versus Dr. Luke, when that story was still fairly unknown, for Flavorwire. I’ve mostly been a tech writer my entire life, but for nine months I actually blogged about celebrity gossip for easy money. I replaced Molls McAleer at her old job when she left to found HelloGiggles. (The pay was fine, but… having to pose serious moral questions to yourself every morning, “Is it okay that I cover this?” is… well, it’s crazymaking. I *now* realize there are critical pop-culture analysts like Anne Helen Petersen, but those types didn’t exist back when I did it, back when it was basically dirty money you were earning.) I stopped writing culture-essays four years ago because of something unrelated to celebrity gossip… but I started to get my groove back on Celebitchy, and I guess I was leaving reeeeally long comments… …and then I got banned. 

I got super fucking banned. It was probably because of one of the times I’d written a long analysis about why a bad take was a Bad Take, but it might’ve been as benign as the time I wrote a longform analysis of Jessica Chastain’s changing fashion sense. Who knows? I honestly can’t remember. 

Either way, it was actually really hard on me! I was like, “Wow, what a total failure; you’ll never write for anyone again, you got banned from a random blog, you obviously suck.” I took it mega hard. But banning me didn’t stop me from posting. 

I just switched to my real-name email and kept posting – shorter comments, obviously, and much less pointed ones. I was a rule-follower now, I guess. But oh my god, hahahahahaha! I finally saw the Tumblr questions here that are like “whoa, why did they add the whole thing to their comments policy about deleting comments that are long?" 

Oh, no. I can honestly say that was added FOR ME. I did that! I am why! Oh my god, that is so embarrassing, I am crying. I hadn’t realized that the comments policy was updated FOR ME before now, and… I’m honestly a little bit crushed! I’d thought that my ban was random and arbitrary! It kind of cuts to the quick, that they were THAT insistent that I just leave their website. 

Before now, I didn’t realize how much they wanted me to just leave. (I’m not being delusional btw; the policy change was FOR ME. The timelines match up. This is literally why I was banned, and they made up a rule for me afterward. Ugh.) 

Anyway, I can’t go back and comment on that website again, obviously. To me it’s like, wow! My ban wasn’t a shot in the dark, wasn’t arbitrary. They just really don’t want me to comment ever again. 

Obviously I’m verbose, so you can see why I was banned, too, haha. Sorry! Old habits die hard. But… I know my insights were good. It’s kind of fucked up to claim that people who have lots to say are "distracting from the story,” and that really bothers me. 

To anyone else who fancies themselves as a burgeoning culture critic, just, take your talents elsewhere, ok? Don’t let your opinion of yourself be ruined by these people. I wish there were another good gossip website with a cool comments section, but I guess there isn’t one. That’s heartbreaking, but it’s what it is.

“Either way, it was actually really hard on me! I was like, “Wow, what a total failure; you’ll never write for anyone again, you got banned from a random blog, you obviously suck. “ - Lol, I felt something similar. )))

I just got banned because I didn’t praise Serena Williams in the post about her yesterday. Today there’s another post where comments are heavily moderated and most comments are agreeing with Serena, and Kaiser actually thanked one poster for telling others they’re not real tennis fans for having a different opinion. LMAO Kaiser is so biased and she’s not even ashamed of it. That website has truly gone to the pits. 

—————————————————————————————————–

That Serena Williams post is a such trainwreck. Serena behaved like a spoiled diva, and instead of just admitting it and moving on people are trying to justify it. Sure, there could be multiple reasons that she lost it, but the fact remains that she did, in a professional setting. Most of us, if we behaved like Serena, would be out of work, regardless of our race, color or sex. Nobody behaves like that in my office.

On top of it, you have to realize that foreigners have very little understanding of the US racial dynamics, and the other player got caught in the cross-fire, through no fault of her own. And she is a woman of color too! And from a country notorious for sexism. Japan is far more sexist than the US. But Celebitchy posters don’t care about that. They feel they have to protect Serena at all costs.

Anonymous asked: Robin Wright believes House of Cards co-star Kevin Spacey deserves a second chance. And Kaiser did not post about this just because she likes RW. But she crucifies the women she doesn't like for a lot less.

Absolutely. I remember they racked Scarlett Johanson over the coals for going out with Shawn Penn, once. She was cancelled. Charlise dated Penn for a few years, but because she was liked, that was OK. Robin was actually married to the guy.
