Some overdue vindication

Princesses are very funny people. They think by the sheer power of their 'charisma' they can have anything and everything in the world without working for it. However, it never occurs to them that they can lose it just as easily with their sheer laziness, insipidness and unwillingness to see the world as it really is. If something bad happens to them, it's someone else's fault -- no acknowledgment of their shortcomings; no attempt to take responsibility. That's why I hate Jennifer Aniston; not once did she take anything resembling responsibility regarding her marriage falling apart. She was a sunbathing, coke-snorting princess, who talked about the pitter-patter of royal prodigny coming any day now while taking job after job after job, while noting that working and pregnancy wouldn't be a good mix for her. When the royal marriage fell apart, she diverted attention to Angelina Jolie, naturally, because the princesses love to pawn off their disappointments, fears and suspicions on her, for no other reason that she's beautiful, smart, and lushly sexual. Aniston, the crusty sunburn scab that she is, was not the first person to pin all of the responsibility on Angelina; Laura Dern started it all and finally, this week, the lynchpin of the princesses' argument about Angelina is gone.

This week, Billy Bob Thornton demonstrated that when he has a singular vision about how things should go, he follows it to the bitter end. By acting like a douchebag during his initial interview with Jian Ghomeshi, he compromised his band's reputation and livelihood. And unwilling to leave well enough alone, he proceeded to further insult a Canadian audience, which could've affected Willie Nelson, the actual headliner of the tour. So, mercifully, the Boxmasters, and Billy Bob bowed out of the tour, but this hardly over.

Theoretically, people are supposed to mellow as they age; if this conduct is indicative of a 'mellow' Billy Bob, then what the hell was he like 10 years ago when Angelina 'allegedly' did the unthinkable and hooked up with him? Angelina readily admitted that she placed herself in a psychiatric hospital and Billy Bob got her out of there. Two (admitted) cuckoos hoofed it to Vegas -- that should've been the end of the story, but Laura Dern had to open her mouth. Laura Dern was with him for a few years; she knew what she had and knew whether it was worth complaining about after she lost it. It is my opinion that she knew what a d!ck he was and instead of breathing a sigh of relief both privately and publicly, she decided to whine about it. A whine that began a part of American pop culture lore. A whine that made a stronger impression than anything she ever did on television or in film. A whine that lends some credence to the belief that Laura Dern was one of those princesses who thought that she could change a man by the sheer strength of her charisma.

Angelina and Billy Bob divorced, thank God. Angelina never went into detail about why, thank God. Billy Bob, on the other hand, talked about beauty personified being as fcukable as a couch, thank God. This, along with his unwillingness to be a father to Maddox, made any public acknowledgement by Angelina seem charitable. Angelina grew up and probably scored the greatest catch of the century, Brad Pitt. Brad seems to be doing his thing - adopting and having babies with Angelina- but most importantly, being a father to them. A lucky escape for Angelina and Maddox.

Now, I can totally see Billy Bob screaming at a 7 month old Maddox to not call him 'Daddy' but 'Rock 'n Roll God'.
