Take a walk on the blind side.
1) “It is amazing this barely out of her teens actress could even function with what she grew up with. You think you know who I am talking about, but you really need to read the clues today because I’m being tricky. She grew up in an environment that just screamed she was not going to be able to make it or was going to turn out really messed up. She does have problems, and they are significant, but she manages to almost look like she is functioning at a normal level. She has a B list actor for a dad. Well, maybe B-. His best days are behind him now. He set her up for failure. His drug problems are legendary and he brought them home and brought home lots and lots of women. She used to hear it all going on very night and learned all about relationships from him and the way he treated women.
Is it any wonder that she will sleep with two or three guys in a weekend? Any wonder that she equates sex with love? That is what she saw with her dad. Drugs? She thought they were normal and when her dad would give her a little taste when she was young, he was just having fun and didn’t know it would lead her to become a drug addict at such a young age. She actually has fought through most of the drugs and the clutches they bring. Sure she uses, but not like she did when she was 15 or 16. Now it is just some coke or pot and she stays away from the heroin. That was the hardest for her to shake.
You would think she would need the drugs to escape the memories of her dad’s friends and how they would grope her and make her dress up for them. Because her dad never stopped them she thought it was fine and she thinks it’s fine now when a director wants to sleep with her or touches her. She has tried the boyfriend route but it never works for her, because she just can’t be with one guy. She wants to love but does not know how. She needs direction, but her dad barely has time for himself and can’t be bothered. He has a career too.” [CDAN]
2) “Where art thou, heartthrob Nelly Fang? Hooking up with the most stunning partner in his fairly impressive past, that’s what! The fact that Nelly’s currently smitten with golden celeb Queen Djibouti is such great news because…As we all know, Nelly hasn’t always made the wisest (or safest) romance choices in the past. And besides, Nelly has such an impressive everything—face, career, personality, etc.—isn’t it about time he settle down with somebody who’s as beautifully put together, not to mentioned gifted, as he is? Totally!
Queen, who’s not quite as romantically experimental as Nelly, is still probably a pretty perfect fit for her new man, as she’s all about the work (just like Fang) and is totally easygoing in her private life. Which is probably why she used to date a guy just like Nelly, who also likes to do his own thing. In other words, Fang and Queen’s exes are probably each other’s types! Or certainly were at one time. But that’s then. Now is all about Nelly and Queen slowly cementing their hotness for each other, which appears to be the real thing. Kind of a shocker for Mr. Fang, who’s not unused to the fake-partner P.R. thing. We actually dig this new Nelly. True love’s always hot, right?
