Wow! What an incredible interview with an incredible woman! I was fully crying by the end. I'm so glad Delta is happy and living her best life with Mac.
Boy, you don't know much about Jehovah's Witnesses, do you? Do more research before assigning something like shame to an entire group. Do better, Chelsea.
Nooooo you have the Let Them book all wrong. I disagree with the title choice too; don't let it fool you. I have read it 3 times & discuss it often with my adult daughter. We both REALLY value it. You & I align on many! things and I LOVED THE BOOK. Give it a chance! It has been the thing that really advanced me personally like nothing else in my life. I'm 52 and feel like great things are now happening for me since reading the book! Judging a book by its cover?? Not you, Chelsea!
Love is blind season 8 was not in Milwaukee. it was in Minnesota.
I JUST listened to this today...fun fact: Andrew Gold was the son of Marnie Nixon. remember her...the Voice?

why you just laughing when reading the book as i know its a sad story there is nothing to laughing!
Lip fillers and Botox lip lifts are two different things. Even with lip fillers you can feel your lips. Botox is just a lip flip... it flips the muscles a little bit so that you can see one or two millimeters more of your lip because it drops the lip line but it does not plump them only filler plumps them... she not only didn't invent it, all she did was trademark the name not the process of having just a little bit of Botox. Botox is sold in units so you can get anywhere from technically one unit to 100 that's between you and your doctor she didn't invent anything new.
I'd love to know where the Chelsea #1 nemesis is now?
I don't think she dedicated this book to her mom to earn her love. She did it to make sure her mom understood she was being called out for all the world to see as the awful human being she really is. Mental illness (diagnosed or otherwise) doesn't excuse it.
ONE Keanu Reeves is worth 20 Mathew Perrys. Bloated, sad, average-looking, privelged man. What a hater.
This was an excellent book. Angelo's wife was a dick though. HER husband, who made a vow to her, cheated on him with many women who never made a vow to her and yet she was evil to the one woman that was trying to save their marriage... yes Leah slept with Angelo...but Leah didnt make a vow to HER, Angelo did. Women like that are total and utter dicks, and need therapy for why they can still hold their cheating husband's hand but choose to take it out on the other woman. I've never been with a married man because I don't hunt on other women's farms. But I also will not blame the other woman because she didn't make a vow to me...my husband did. I can be upset with the other woman... but honestly she doesn't owe me anything my husband does. Twenty eight years of marriage and it either hasn't happened or I haven't caught him... and HE (not the other woman) better hope I don't.
Sheila E is a very gifted artist but she doesn't sound very likable as a person.
I will defend MC on these song lawsuits. There's one dude that's suing her because he wrote a song called "All I want for Christmas" that is completely different, doesn't sound like it, doesn't share anything except the title... and he thinks that this songs success rode on his coattails, since he wrote the song 5 years before her. Nobody knows this song... I don't believe she ever heard it, she just titled her son the same. 🙄 But he has definitely heard her song...so how did you wait until 2022 to sue her? This needs to get thrown out of court... plenty of songs share a title. Lame.
Ok, MC does what alot of women do: she blames the "other woman" even in a business feud. JLo had no idea what was going on. If I'm JLo, I'm not turning down a career because TM may or may not be shading his wife by building my fledgling career. 🤷♀️ MC married him...she should deal with the repercussions of divorcing him and blaming him without blaming other people. I'm glad MC is dealing with her trauma so she can grow up a little.
Not all boats have engines... and they don't need engines to move. Not all cars have engines. But a car without an engine can't move.
Its ok... Jessica Simpson was right, give him whatever he wants she'll make it back plus some. She is worth $200 million and Nick Lachey is worth $25 million and $22 million of that came from her. Divorcing her was the best career move he ever made. It was the last one that made him any money. 🤷♀️ John Mayer is just... insufferable. Marginally talented, majorally insufferable.
Sofiya you had breast cancer recently. Rue's diagnosis was a 1997. I'm sure there have been advancements since then as breast cancer awareness and research has increased dramatically in those years. that's why women live so much longer today than they did back then. Cut her a break she told you HER truth.
