Makes perfect sense those two got together.
I will be all over that Joss film!! I didn’t know anything about it and am kind of excited. (Yes, super geeky Joss fangirl).
No. I wanted him and Diane Lane to be together secretly dating.
Me too!!! I have such a crush on him!♥
Hmm. I like Padma, but I think she talks baby talk. It gets on my nerves.
The baby talk and she’s messing with her face too much. I can’t stand her anymore.
Gere has a terrible reputation as a jerk towards women. Padma has a strong track record of choosing jerk men. This seems likely they’re dating.
Her face looks scary in that photo above
What made her face that odd? Botox? Lip injections?
Actually Padma and Richard make perfect sense
Padma likes older men, and Richard is just about the right number of years older than her. They both seem to be a little bit inclined toward intellectual dilettantism, in a fairly harmless way. He has a teenager. She has a toddler. So, now that I think about it, they kind of make sense together.
Padma likes rich and powerful men, she thinks older means exploitable.
Why did they change the Cersei and Jaime sex scene? They made it seem like he forced her.
I hated that so much. If they wanted to show that Jaime wasn’t a suddenly reformed man, there were all kinds of other things they could have shown him doing. Even at his worth, he’s been more sexually ethical (in his odd way) than a lot of men in Westeros. It seemed out of character, and I don’t appreciate the shoehorning in of another rape in a series that’s already very heavy on non-consensual sex.
What makes it even worse is that they interviewed the director of the episode, and he describes what was portrayed as Cersei initially resisting and then getting into it. Um, no. She was saying no right up until the scene cut.
They’ve made Cersei a lot more sympathetic on the show, from the get-go. Remember her early backstory about being devastated in losing Robert’s child and deciding to only have Jamie’s? Book Cersei was much more cold about it, and had aborted all of her pregnancies thatn could have been Robert’s. And it seems like with Jaime forcing himself of her (which is really not how it was supposed to happen) they’re going to have her walk away from Jaime instead of vice versa, which is disappointing.
That scene was ew ew ew.
Well if you look closely, she does keep kissing him back and is all indecisive throughout. I’m not saying no doesn’t mean no, but since I know in the books they both willingly do it, I kept thinking it was more Cersei being “oh no, it’s wrong to do it here” rather than “oh no, I don’t want to have sex with you”.
But I like how people are all “ew, that scene was horrible because she said no” and not “ew, they’re brother and sister” — I mean, she’s supposed to say no to her brother, lol.
I’m more “Ew, they’re next to a corpse. Of their son-nephew.”.
Haha, indeed, but that particular detail is from the books.
I’m furious about the change of the scene from consensual sex to rape. Jaime and Cersei are my favorite characters in GoT. The sept sex scene was probably my favorite chapter in the whole book series. And they butchered it completely. I don’t even recognize the character of Jaime from the books anymore (first killing his cousin and now the rape…)
I’m seriously so disappointed, I’ve been posting about it on GoT message boards all day.
Padma has a type, that’s for sure.
Rich and famous and positioned to somehow help her professionally, sure.
Has Padma tweaked her face recently? Those lips don’t look right :/
For some reason darker women and botox don’t work. Her face looks extra greasy and stiff. And she definitely had lip injections.
Botox is awful on every man and woman no matter their skin, you look fake and not younger except in your mind and for people who also use it
Wonder what Tim Gunn thinks (after all that gossip he had to say about Padma)
He always has the best (and by that I mean, bitchy) comments and best (bitchy) non-shade EVER. I want to be besties with Tim Gunn so badly, I can taste it. He’d have fun dressing me up–I hate picking clothes out.
Tim Gunn is my fantasy best friend, too! Lol adore him! What did he say about Padma?
I always knew she was using Salman Rushdie. My real disdain for her came when she got pregnant by Adam Dell, but when she met RICHER Financier TED FORSTMANN, she told DELL that she found him to be an ‘unambitious’ man with an ‘uninteresting’ career and equally ‘unmemorable’ friends!” This was in the paternity suit.
Padma explained that one of the reasons she was so hostile to him was that she was pregnant — and she was really hoping he (Adam Dell) wasn’t the father.
She told DELL that she’d been “sexually involved with Ted Forstmann as well as with petitioner during the time she got pregnant,” and “made clear to petitioner her hope that Forstmann was the child’s biological father.” Not to mention trying to get DELL to forget about his own kid. Now that is heartless.
I went from knowing nothing about this woman to thoroughly disliking her after reading your posts. At least with those things on record no future men in her life should be able to plead ignorance… run fellas, RUN!
She’s a gold digger like I don’t think Richard has enough money for her.
PS Forstman had 2 kids he adopted from Africa, but before he died he left a trust fund for Padma’s daughter. The poor Chap was 70 years battling Cancer when she was busy with all this Baby Daddy Maury shenanigans.
Airlines all overbooked
But all the ones I’ve flown with have taken volunteers to go on the next flight in exchange for cash or airport vouchers. They always get volunteers so it’s never bothered me too much.
Heck I’d volunteer for $200 if I didn’t have a kid with me
