She seems mentally ill and suffering, no?

Especially for the guys. We get titillated (it's even in the word) by those "fun sacks"....Look in the subways at the guys reading the Post and how they stare at those "fun sacks."

I love the moment in the news video when the EMT tries to cover her exposed breast and she screams to be left alone. Clearly she feels it's vital to have the fun sacks on full display in front of a bank of news cameras -- even as she's being carried off to the cukoo's nest. It's probably a wise photo op strategy. Without the mammaries she's just another vascular gay man with tortured, thinning hair: Carson Kressley.

Sterling, tell me some more about a celebrity's sense of self-preservation. That's a new angle for me, but it makes perfect sense when I think about it. Celebrity's have to be strong to handle all that public pressure.

Rachel, The Frugal Gourmet was involved in a sex scandal (assault on many young men) which caused PBS to pull the plug on his show. I suspect that's what Ron was referencing.

Bravo to her. I remember when I was very young I wanted to crap (literally) all over the place and yell and scream all the time. Then my parents made me control myself (not so much fun). I see in Courtney an adult who craps all over and yells and screams and gets away with it. Bravo for all those who never wanted to be toilet trained!

Anyone without a celebrity's sense of self-preservation who tried to live like this would be long dead.

She's figured out our sweet spot. I mean, is she really a very clever publicist or is she a total idiot that somehow fits into the mass neurotic needs of a lot of New Yorkers? Or both? She's a real puzzler.

a courtney ate my baby!

What was the timeframe of events here? Don't you get the sense the lawyer called and said, "Hey, where they hell are you? You're supposed to be in court in L.A. You're about to be in deep shit." And then Courtney was all, "Hmmm.... What could make for a good excuse? Dog ate my plane ticket... No. Uhm... SELF-ABORTION! Oh, that's good, that's good! " I mean she effectively used the LAPD and NYPD publicity teams to promote her last album. Why not drum up some public sympathy for being subjected to an arrest warrant?

Ron, educate me. Why was the Frugal Gourmet a freak? I used to love his show. (Courtney needs no explainin)

Lucky the baby checked out. She's fun for New Yorkers to read about, but she would be a horror to have as a mom.
