A note about why I moderate my comments. I've only had to delete two comments to this post. The first posted Roland's personal e-mail address, which can be found with a little internet digging, but which I'm not prepared to broadcast. The second rambled on and on about how nobody cared about how "some old guy called some kid a loser", and then devolved into profanity, so I

For the record... I'm not convinced the guy actually needs to be fired at this point. Since I'm unfamiliar with his side of the story, aside from the fact that he was "relating to the kids" and (in another version of the story I read after I posted this) "just kidding" (yo, Rex - that didn't work for my middle schooler when she mouthed off to me, it's not

LOL!!! Now THIS was funny. I've been so mad since I read about this jerk and his lame-ass excuse (lie) for why he continued to write "Loser" on a 6th grader's work. Thanks for the blog. Hope the bully gets fired, and that little girl is able to heal and enjoy school.

I can't say anything that makes any sense.. I have started this post about 5 times, and nothing seems to say anything meaningful. So, just know that I am thinking of you, that I'm glad hospice has helped you, that you finally have the enemy known, and that you have reached something close to peace right now. Give the cats an extra cuddle, and remember that we are all out here for you, when you

Omg! Brooke Shields is my new favorite actress! lol!!!!! I had heard about TC dissing Brooke around the same time that I heard about the couch jumping incident, and felt really, REALLY bad for her. Kind of pizzed me off too, he being a man having NO FREAKING CLUE what it's like to watch a friend suffer through it (undiagnosed, unfortunately, until much later) for over two years. <BR/><BR/>

Gosh! Sure am glad I'm not the only one that thinks that dude is cracked...<BR/><BR/>Great explanation by the way.<BR/><BR/>Oh!...and I DVR Oprah daily too (much to my hubby's disgust) but because God was smiling down on me that day I accidently deleted that show without watching it. I didn't find out about the whole couch jumping fiasco until later.

Facinating. Perhaps that is why the famous people we love and relate to the most are those that had to pay the bills, that cried on the floor for a man, that had shitty credit..like Ms. Oprah. People like Tom Cruise are interesting the way the cat with two heads is interesting. Can't wait to see how his story (With Katie Holms)ends. Any religion that tells you it is okay to go through wives and

Not to parrot everyone else (you want conflict? I'll give you conflict!) but this was very well-written and interesting.

Tracey, I saw the Oprah show (okay... I DVR it every damned day -- SO SUE ME! I love her!), and I agree with you about his level of sincerity. I think the first time he jumped up on the couch, then did the slamdunk thingie, it seemed kind of impetuous and cute. After about Time No. 6, I think even Oprah was feeling it was a little strained and uncomfortable. There was also a moment toward the

Wow...great, great post. Very insightful. I read on CNN this morning something about how Steven Spielberg was complaining how the media treated Tom Cruise in his odd behavior on Oprah's show...and it made me wonder a lot of the same points that you just brought up. I mean...it was decidedly odd behavior--didn't seem very genuine (at least as reported...I didn't see the show)--and the media

frstlymil -- I walked away from any stab at the biz because I knew that I couldn't handle it. It would have been worse for me mentally if I'd actually had any real success, I think. It takes a more level head than mine to traverse the course of celebrity undamaged. I've always hated Larry David, personally. I can't believe that Kramer -- that sweet, idiotic lunkhead -- was actually based on

This is far and above the best essay I have read on the disease of uber-celebrity (and a mighty gracious one, if you ask me). What you write of is precisely the reason I removed myself from the industry - I loved the art, but I didn't have the stomach or the thick skin required to deal with the behavior (and why I may be one of the few that refuses to lawd the so called hilarity of the show "

This is the best take on this issue (that is none of the nation's business) thus far. The story that isn't being told (because again, it's none of our business) is what caused the extreme emotion that would cause an individual to take off, tell no one that cares about them - more than likely because if there was a serious problem, apparently no one was going to listen anyway because Daddy spent
