    This must have been asked a million times, but why do you guys celebrate Labor Day and not International Worker’s Day on the 1st of May?

    Also, Emily is such and idiot.

    • mimif says:

      Because ‘Murica and stuff!

      P.S. It’s Labour Day.

    • Sochan says:

      Because it’s an American holiday, not an international one. Surely your country has its own national holidays as well?

      • islandwalker says:

        It’s a little more complicated than that. Labor Day was promoted by the Central Labor Union and the Knights of Labor, who organized the first parade in New York City. After the Haymarket Massacre in Chicago on May 4, 1886, U.S. President Grover Cleveland feared that commemorating Labor Day on May 1 could become an opportunity to commemorate the affair. Therefore, in 1887, the United States holiday was established in September to support the Labor Day that the Knights favored. That Haymarket incident inspired the International Labor Day. 11 people died and many were wounded.

      • mimif says:

        Also, and very importantly, we needed a holiday to officially mark the end of being able to wear white pants.

      • JWQ says:

        @ Sochan: This is not a national holiday that no one else has, it’ s something that virtually every civilized country celebrates in the same day (hence the adjective international). Where I live, April 25th is a national holiday because my country was liberated in that day during WWII, I doubt people who live elsewhere give a damn, though.

        I guess ”What’ s the point in celebrating in a different day?” was her question, and I can’ t really say I disagree with her. But mimif and her gift for synthesis explained it awesomely: ‘MURICA!

        @mimif: can you also explain to me what’ s up with the white clothes thing?

      • Mitchie says:

        Canada celebrates Labour Day too. So, it’s a little internationally.

      • M.A.F. says:

        @mimf- the “no white after Labor Day” is no longer a fashion rule. You can wear white all year long. Yay?

      • mimif says:

        Liberal lies, I build walls around all of you! 😛

    • Sarah says:

      https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labor_day

      Basically there was a huge riot and bombing during a labor union protest that happened on May 4 and the government didn’t want the association. Also I think the May 1 date was seen as too aligned with communism/Marxism for the tastes of the government.

      If you weren’t aware, organized labor unions are not held in high esteem in the States. Today this holiday is more of an ‘end of summer’ three day weekend than anything else.

    • Lilacflowers says:

      @Franca, because the U.S. September Labor Day became law first, even though International Workers Day was originally intended to recognize events that happened in the U.S.

    • Luca76 says:

      Honestly Labor Day is barely celebrated as much more of the bookend to the summer and a marker for beach closings. Talking to much about its roots in celebrating the working people and unions borders on socialism *gasp*.

    • historymistery says:

      International Worker’s Day is May 1st – it is in honor of Chicago Haymarket riot of 1886, which is way too communist for American taste. That’s why they dedicated different date for Labor Day.

    • M.A.F. says:

      wrong spot.

    • Sarah says:

      @ Franca : Yes Emily is an idiot. She was all gung go about the nudity and overt (misogynist) sexuality when the video came out and made her famous. Now she’s not so sure? Funny girl, that Emily.

    • Kiki says:

      I think we can all agree p, that Emily R, for the life of me I can’t pronounce her name, is a complete stupid idiot. And ungrateful, showing your boobs and a** is what makes you famous, tacky but famous none the less. If you didn’t like what you did in that music video with that Douchbag, shouldn’t be there for the fame. Which is why you are here, for your Tits right?

      • Mrs Odie says:

        I’m inclined to give her a pass on the basis of “We all do dumb things when we’re young.” I wish I looked this good making MY dumb irreversible decisions. And yet, mine are not filmed for everyone to see, so I’m the winner.

      • Tippet says:

        It’s just “ratta-kowski.” The j is silent

  2. Mark says:

    It brought her more luck, than those, who made the video.

  3. Birdix says:

    I would hate to be famous for that too though. Labor Day in August/sept so to have a three-day weekend at the end of the summer.

  4. DEB says:

    Hilarious, HILARIOUS!! Get a boob job (and deny it), cheek implants, inflate the lips, dance around naked for a jerk with a bad reputation, make scads and scads of $$ and then “hate it.” Please. Get lost.

  5. Trillion says:

    I live in San Francisco where some business honor May 1st as a legit holiday! Yay for SF!

    • Birdix says:

      Here in SF too and have never experienced that. I love that there are so many ways you can live in the same (great) city.

    • mimif says:

      SF is probably my favorite city in the entire world. I mean, it’s just about perfect.

      • Kym says:

        I have never been to San Francisco but I have always wanted to go. I’ve never been out west -which is really odd because I’m older than dirt.
        I do love New England but I would move to SF in a minute. Apparently, I couldn’t afford to rent a parking space there though. Maybe I will have to settle for a really short vacation one day 😉

      • mimif says:

        You must go immediately before the zombie apocalypse strikes! Even if it’s just for a 3-day weekend, I promise you won’t be disappointed.

      • Kym says:

        Zombie apocalypse you say??? I miss everything and it being so close to Halloween and all. 🙁

      • stinky says:

        S.F. is unique as hell (and i was just there last week), but lets be honest – it’s filthy. And getting more dangerous. The SF Mayor and Governor of CA should be ASHAMED. SF should be the jewel of the State but im sorry … its not.
        It’s SO trashy and nasty in the streets.
        Its a small city – they cant afford to let it go to the dogs – which it has 🙁

    • GoodNamesAllTaken says:

      Peanut butter and jealous.

  6. paola says:

    I blame that video too.
    It made her famous and I can’t stand her.
    Also, Don’t bite the hand that feeds you. It’s a very important lesson to learn especially since this video made her globally famous.

  7. Merritt says:

    Emily certainly has changed her tune about that video. In Cosmo last year she had a very different attitude. The reality is that her career is not going as well as she hoped, so she wants to bash a video that everyone already knew was crap, because she has nothing to lose by doing so. Her acting ability is non-existent. She has no upcoming projects listed on IMDb. Her movie with Zac Efron flopped. It looked stupid, and was directed by one of the guys from Catfish. She is lucky to have had a decent publicist because they got her way more press than was deserved.

    • paola says:

      She was in the ‘Entourage’ movie. she couldn’t even play herself.
      That’s how convincing she is as an actress.

    • Kylie says:

      She is going to drag out her 15 minutes for as long as possible. Pretty soon she will be one of PETA’s annoying naked has been celebs that pretends that PETA hasn’t euthanized over 30000 cats and dogs.

  8. Sochan says:

    I don’t know why this girl gets to have a career at all.

  9. Rainbow says:

    Ooh I thought that she hates her boobs.

    • NUTBALLS says:

      That’s why she highlights them in every photo I see?? hmmm…

      She’s got no talent other than giving men hard-ons. No wonder she’s got nothing lined up. You have to show a little talent beyond being the “sexy bombshell” of the movie.

      She’ll be one of those actresses that shows up to events for the photos and publicity but isn’t doing any actual work.

  10. KLM says:

    I’m sure she doesn’t hate benefitting from the popularity it gave her though.

  11. ninal says:

    I’d side eye her more if she acted like she liked it.

    • Merritt says:

      She used to claim she liked the video. But now she needs to say something else because her career has stalled. So the video is an easy thing to blame. She is not going to come out and admit that she can’t act.

  12. Cynthia says:

    The cigarettes thing is brilliant but its not the first. Last week, it was; Who is the best footballer in the world? Cristiano Ronaldo vs Lionel Messi. Ronaldo won that round.

  13. Lk says:

    Brooklyn Beckham is all grown up. Only yesterday i was watching the Spice Girls’ Wannabe video on You Tube and laughing my poor arse off over the cheesiness. Bloody hell i must be getting on.

    • mimif says:

      You sound very Bristisherly. Are you from Welsh perchance?

      • Lk says:

        @mimif Sorry to lead you astray but nope, there’s nothing in the least Britishy about me lol. Just assumed the British slang in honour of the Spice Girls and kinda got carried away. 😉 . But i am flattered, though.

      • mimif says:

        Harrumph! How do you feel about cider donuts then.

  14. minx says:

    Oh, please.
    No one forced her to strut around naked in front of those creepy men.

  15. OhDear says:

    If Tom Hooper wanted to help transgender actors, then perhaps he should have cast a transgender actor to play a role on a transgender person Instead of Redmayne.

    • JWQ says:

      He didn’ t because it wouldn’ t have pleased Hollywood producers or the audience, though. He comes from the same school of Ridley Scott and Christian Bale who made very similar comments for Exodus: Gods and Kings, only regarding non-caucasian people. I think you are right and this attitude is disgusting and hypocritical, but apparently it’ s the new trend.

  16. Daria Morgendorffer says:

    About Emily Ratajkowski: Not that I really thought her career would be going anywhere in the first place, but I think her making comments bashing former projects is going to be the final straw for her. No one wants to work with someone who goes around speaking poorly of the projects they were previously involved in. It shows she has no integrity. She’s not even that talented to begin with, so she should just be happy that she’s gotten work. Another poster mentioned this as well, but I remember Emily giving an interview to Cosmo talking about how “empowering” the video was, and how she loved it and stood behind it because she and the other women were in control. Funny how she’s changing her tune now that her career is plummeting.

    Brooklyn Beckham is adorable!

  17. Maum says:

    What does she want to be remembered for- her minute long appearance on Gone Girl which basically was a make out scene.
    Seriously?

    Funnily with all the hype I was expecting her part in that film to be a touch more…. substantial. Just like the book in fact.
    Imagine my surprise when I got round to actually watching the movie (Ben Affleck- great casting btw) and realised she was barely in it and was merely the gratuitous sex scene girl. There’s a pattern there.
    So next year she will hate Gone Girl too?

  18. Rita says:

    Emily is a beautiful girl with a great figure and she has a wonderful smile but persists with this Victoria Beckham/Kayne West snarl to let the world know she’s yet to be given what she so richly deserves. Just like Kayne her expression screams, “Yes, I am a talentless biotch and you’re required to send money but PLEAZZZE, no $10’s or $20’s, they’re not worth my time.

    (I wish these PR people would lose their infatuation with ATTITUDE!!!!!)

  19. OSTONE says:

    How will I celebrate Labor Day? Well working of course! When all of the departments are off but mine -_-

  20. Mia25 says:

    Is this the same one whose dad saw her naked and told her she was beautiful or something creepy like that?

  21. Josefa says:

    If she was a struggling model who took the job for the money and later, with more experience, noticed how degrading it was, I’d buy it. But she has defended this video before and is only acknowledging it as the piece of crap it is now that everyone is over Robin Thicke. So, yeah, not cool.

  22. mimif says:

    Robin Thicke’s nose frightens me. It’s like an ill shaped penis stuck on his face just grimacing at us with glee.

  23. lila fowler says:

    Meh. Emily says in UK Vogue that she never felt objectified or abused when making the video. She has always been supportive of it. If she hates it, it’s because it’s still really the only thing people know her for. She was barely in Gone Girl and Entourage and this new movie has bombed. So, she is still the Blurred Lines Girl.

  24. HipsterIrony says:

    Ha! Rich, isn’t the hit mess that was blurred lines the sole source of her relevance and Hollywood existence. Bye Felicia!

  25. Colette says:

    John Hamm is single,anybody interested?

  26. kibbles says:

    Emily will end up like that “girl from American Pie” who had her fifteen minutes of fame for getting naked in the main character’s bedroom in the first movie. The problem with getting naked, objectifying yourself, and having little talent is that in a few years there will always be a younger girl out there with a great rack who will be the new hot girl from “that film” or that “that music video”. Fifteen years from now, most people will not remember the name Emily Ratajkowski. They might remember that there was a hot girl in the Blurred Lines video, but they won’t remember her name. She should be thankful she has been remembered for something and that it’s made her millions of dollars so that she can live comfortably for the rest of her life. And if she knows what is best for her, she’d realize that she is only the hot girl with the great boobs and should milk it for all it is worth while she can.

    • Kylie says:

      It is unlikely she made millions for that video. Actors in a music video have a salary that is dependent on the budget. Blurred Lines clearly had a low budget. She probably walked away with less than $25,000.

      • kibbles says:

        I’m not talking about her salary for that video alone. The video led to other gigs and projects that have likely earned her millions of dollars. I don’t follow her career closely but I know she had a bit part in Gone Girl and was in another movie that flopped. She probably also got a lot of lucrative contracts to just show up at events or model in advertisements. So she didn’t make a lot of money from the video but it led to her current fifteen minutes of fame. I don’t know her net worth but she must have over a million dollars in assets since making Blurred Lines.

      • Kylie says:

        If she has earned a million from her projects total, I would be surprised. Jonah Hill only made $60,000 for “Wolf of Wall Street”. I’m guessing Emily made less for both “Gone Girl” and “Entourage”. And then her recent flop had a super low budget. Then there is the percentage going to her agent. And she clearly pays a ton for publicity, to keep her name in the media for doing nothing. And people have mentioned that she has nothing on the horizon film wise. The girl needs money, that is why she is jumping on the anti Blurred Lines bandwagon.

  27. Uh Emily, they have an opening at Walmart.

  28. Adrien says:

    Don’t worry Emily, I will always remember you as Tasha, Gibby’s girlfriend in iCarly.

  29. Naddie says:

    Emily Blurred Lines.
