Apr 13 2006Ewan McGregor adopts foreign kids

In typical Hollywood fashoin, Ewan McGregor has gone and adopted a 4-year-old girl from Mongolia. He already has two biological daughters with his wife, so it only makes sense that his next one would come from Mongolia. Because that's where Genghis Khan was born. And nothing says adoption like a dead medieval conqueror.

By the time Hollywood adopts every foreign kid, it will become like the league of nations.
Then they will all join together, as Scientologists, to fight the U.N.
2. sirokai - April 13, 2006 9:21 AM
These kids are getting just about the worst parents possible... but maybe they'll appreciate the silver spoon and grow up with a better mindset than the biological children.
3. Jennyface - April 13, 2006 9:24 AM
It's great that celebs are adopting children taht need it. I cant wait until they all grow up and become part of a reality show that brings them together under one roof.

What is so wrong with adopting kids from your own country? I can't stand how trendy it is to adopt from foreign lands. Charity begins at home!!

Is this like the new Bling in Hollywood?
8. bjpack - April 13, 2006 9:37 AM
I think the strategy is to adopt kids from other countries and not teach them English thus avoiding the inevitable tell all book. I understand that tell all books don't sell well in Mongolia and not many Americans or Brits will buy a book written in Mongolian.
9. BrianMolko - April 13, 2006 9:40 AM
Oh Ewan, you are so delicious...
10. mamacita - April 13, 2006 9:44 AM
Ewan, I still haven't forgiven you for voicing Rodney Copperbottom in the exalted cinema that was "Robots".
11. PapaHotNuts - April 13, 2006 10:10 AM
Fuck all this celebrities adopting kids shit. I am going to start adopting celebrities. My first two:
Harry Anderson, because Night Court was the best and he does cool magic; and Dakota Fanning, just so I can beat the shit out of her when she acts like an adult. "But, Daddy, I love caviar and sushi!"
"Shut up, bitch, and eat your fruit roll-up and animal cookies like a regular kid." SMACK.
12. krisdylee - April 13, 2006 10:15 AM
Then I'll adopt Pam Anderson, since she makes such a great flotation toy for my kids. Plus, I'd smack her around every once in awhile too, while chowing down on a big juicy steak, wearing my leather coat and skinning bunnies, just for fun.

If you watch his reality TV show 'The Long Way Around' you can see that he really enjoyed Mongolia when they passed thru on their motorcycles. When I saw this story it made prefect sence to me. You can tell from teh show he really felt a connection to the Mongolian people.

Hey if they wanna adopt kids, good for them. What gets me is how the public finds out immediately. Fuckin' publicists. Belong at the bottom of the ocean along with the lawyers.
17. firestar - April 13, 2006 10:28 AM
have u ever noticed that the kids that celebrities adopt from foreign countries are these cute and adorable kids...its never the kids that u see on World Vision all emaciated and ugly looking
18. texinthecity - April 13, 2006 10:29 AM
Well. . . . . Nicole Richie was the original adopted charity case and look how well she turend out. Tinseltown is known for alot of things and great parenting ISN'T one of them!

At least when friends of his looks at how ugly the kid is they can safely say "wow, she really looks like a mongoloid" and not get their asses kicked in.
22. oshkoshb-goshdammgosh - April 13, 2006 10:53 AM
Poor, malnourished, foreign toddlers - you gotta collect 'em all! They come in different colors and shapes and they're SO cute! Mine's from Russia, her name is Varenschkza, but I'm gonna call her Betty! She comes with her own Louis Vuitton carrying case and a Elizabeth Arden deoderizing spray! Dress 'em up and tote 'em along! Miniature Von Dutch hats and Prada wet naps now available! Precious!

#15 I guess you can't be in the cool crowd in H'wood unless you adopt a kid from a third world country
Celebrities have been adopting children before Jolie's ugly mug was ever associated with it.
Hugh Jackman, Mia Farrow, Tom Cruise/Nicole Kidman, Michelle Pfeiffer, Diane Keaton, Sharon Stone, Steven Speilberg...
I mean really.. just because a celebrity wants to adopt that doesn't mean they're pulling a Jolie. You might as well say Jolie's pulling a Farrow.
It's not a fucking fad.
#6 What is so wrong with adopting kids from your own country? I can't stand how trendy it is to adopt from foreign lands. Charity begins at home!!
!!!!
Maybe if this country changed its adoption laws, it would be a tad easier.
As for Ewan... yeah his "own country" is Scotland. stfu now.
Charity begins anywhere and everywhere.
24. Star Maker Machinery - April 13, 2006 10:58 AM
Mongolia is very in right now. Cambodian refugees are so 2003.
25. biatcho - April 13, 2006 11:03 AM
#23 - the fad is not the adoption itself, it is the publicity of it all. All these celebs want pats on their backs for being so "charitable" and don't go anywhere without their personal photographers & then go ahead and sell the pictures of them partaking in such "charitable acts" for hundreds of thousands of dollars to magazines they all claim to hate. It's all for PR, not about the kids, and anyone who has ever seen "Mommie Dearest" can attest to that. Anyone who says otherwise is, well... a very bad word.

28. bafongu - April 13, 2006 11:10 AM
Hey Jayne, STFU numb nuts. If Rosie O'Donnell can adopt here, anyone with a normal life can to. But it's not cool to adopt a black kid from Chicago or D.C., gotta get me one from an Urdu tribe in Africa that shows my deep conscience for the welfare of the world. What a bunch of hacks and turds.
29. bafongu - April 13, 2006 11:14 AM
Besides, what kind of name is Ewan? Is that like a Wookie? Sounds more like the name of some kind of a bird or lizard.....
30. biatcho - April 13, 2006 11:16 AM
yeah mamacita, she was one deranged easter bunny. but really loved those kids. If i were joan crawford's kids I would have requested a long-term stay at the orphanage. Something about it all reminds of Madonna for some reason. I know she didn't adopt but I can see her being like "I SAID NO plastic dildos in this HOUSE"!!!!!!!!
31. Jayne - April 13, 2006 11:19 AM
>>It's all for PR, not about the kids, and anyone who has ever seen "Mommie Dearest" can attest to that. Anyone who says otherwise is, well... a very bad word.<<
yeah yeah Miss Crawford.
Read the book.
It's ten times better than the movie.
But really, I'm not one to base every celebrity and their adoptions on what Crawford did. Not every celebrity has an agenda.
Hell, "normal" people who adopt or take care of foster kids have an agenda. Let's fix our system first than we can rant and rave about how attention hungry our celebrities are.
With this being said, celebrities who have their children biologically do it for PR too; so let's bring that shit up.
32. Dr.Rokter - April 13, 2006 11:24 AM
George Lucas adopts children too. And they're all 100% Choice Grade American. Except for the Gungan he adopted a few years ago. And they found that one dead in his swimming pool a week later. Very sad.
33. biatcho - April 13, 2006 11:25 AM
Oh honey, I read the book too, when I was about 10 years old. I saw the movie like 2 weeks ago on WE so excuse the shit out of me because I don't parade my literary expertise on a fucking celebrity gossip blog. Kudos to you - you can read!!!!!
fack off...
34. bafongu - April 13, 2006 11:27 AM
Celebrities don't have agendas, their to stupid to know what an agenda is. They're lemmings, they follow each and any cause Celeb' of the day. Right now it's starving yourself and adopting African orphans. Next it'll be eating boiled carribu dicks or buying a tree in the Amazon rain forrest so it can't be cut down.

What's your point, dumbfuck?
The majority of celebrities I listed earlier adopted from the US.
I simply said it was a tad harder.
TAD. Not fucking impossible.
38. princess cakes?!? - April 13, 2006 11:31 AM

when did adopting kids become charity?
but besides all that, i do think it's a little odd for celebrities to go all out and have camera crews and photographers on hand as they adopt these little kids from third world countries.
i can't totally hate on it though, i guess if you have millions of dollars, you might as well pay a nanny to raise a new baby
39. oshkoshb-goshdammgosh - April 13, 2006 11:33 AM
It looks like another sand-in-the-vagina day. I think we all need a group hug and a popsicle. Or maybe we all need to go look at porn for a while. On second thought, why don't you shove that popsicle right up your asshole, you ignorant dickfart.

ooohhh, using my very same tactics back on me... that hurts GI Jayne. Now go shave your balls along with your head.
Plus, sounds to me like you're in celebrity social work since you feel so strongly about it so don't you have some poor rich people to help out? Get to work! (sound of whip lashing)
42. biatcho - April 13, 2006 11:41 AM

I personally would have saved the exclamation point for after "You're terrfic!!", but that's just me.
43. ~S.Starr~ - April 13, 2006 11:42 AM
Who cares if they are doing it for the PR. I bet when these kids are grown and living the good life instead of living in some 3rd world poverish nation they wont be crying about how mommy and daddy had an agenda back in the day.
Regardless of their motives..it is still getting some of these kids out of the hell they currently live in. Besides, no one knows what some of these celebs motives are...some of you people think you are the god of all knowing shit. Shut up and go back to reading your USWeekly.
44. biatcho - April 13, 2006 11:53 AM
what is a poverish nation? I looked it up on dictionary.com and all I got was "pokerish". Are they gambling off children in this nation?

"Regardless of their motives..it is still getting some of these kids out of the hell they currently live in."
There are plenty of children in developing nations who hold decent jobs in places like the garment industry. I can't tolerate the lazy ones who refuse to work and insist on leeching off our celebrities.

Perhaps you need to learn to read before getting grammer police on my ass.
'That's terrific' vs 'You're terrific'
There is a difference.
Maybe just a word off but alas.
Oh and it's just Jayne.
Don't worry your pretty mind about it.
omfg I'm so excited.
Finally a new e-spat.
I was wondering when I'd get into another one.
49. ~S.Starr~ - April 13, 2006 12:26 PM
Go back to talking shit on celebs who deserve... ones who are a waste of space and have no reason for being a celeb in the first place. Why make fun a celeb who is actually doing something good. He isn't on top of tables drunk...or flashing people at award shows. He isn't stupid and worthless. The man is bringing a child into his home and you still feel the need to bash on him. Makes no sence to me...
50. biatcho - April 13, 2006 12:33 PM
I would hope you would call it an "e-spat" because you have the argumentative skills of a gnat, or a 5 year old, whichever comes first. Cutting, pasting other's comments & being as predictable with your "spattering" as I had anticipated (I KNEW you were going to comment about being one word off and I almost beat you to it, but I figured it was all you had to work with). You're very boring, Playne Jayne.

Seriously, you kids know how to party.
To those who seem to think that future squeegee kids are worse off than your average African orphan: wake the fuck up. Thousands of children die of starvation in Africa every day. I beg you to come up with a remotely similar statistic for any western nation.
The press following celebrity adoptions (note that there are not yet pictures) are the same people who believe that the shrinkage of Lindsay Lohan's ass by one ass-unit is front page fodder. It doesn't take much to get the paparazzi out of bed. I would hope that adopting a third world orphan is more than an honorable mention for humanitarianism in some rag. Besides, Obi-Wan doesn't need press.

56. pulpo - April 13, 2006 1:20 PM
half of you commenting are just ignorant. the other half make funny jokes, so it is excuseable.
like #14 says, the guy worked with a childrens charity (unicef) while he was in mongolia for his "long way round" motorcycle trip around the world.
and i can be as sarcastic and venomous as the next guy and comment on how nice it must be to have a fully funded and filmed motorcycle trip around the world with my best friend just because he's a celebrity.
but the fact of the matter is that mcgregor clearly came off the experience visibly and deeply touched by mongolia. he obviously wanted to help.
pretty understandable and not surprising if you saw the show (which was not GREAT but pretty entertaining anyway).
57. claire bear - April 13, 2006 1:26 PM
I can't help but think of that episode of South Park where the build the wall around the city to keep out the Mongolians, but then the kids end up running away to join the Mongolians.
58. biatcho - April 13, 2006 1:27 PM
Has anyone noticed that the ages of the celebrity women who are dying to buy babies are the ones who were also at the peak age during the height of the cabbage patch doll craze in the mid-80s? And if they were like me they had 7 of them. Me thinks Xavier Roberts is up to some serious brainwashing. I wonder if he still writes his signature on their asses?
But if I learned anything today it's that celebrities really adore children & adopt them out of love & kindness, will stay home with them every night during the important initial years of nurturing, will not take infants on 20 hour plane flights to the other end of the world just to promote a movie, will not leave them in the care of a strange nanny 7 days a week and miss all of their firsts (walks, shits, spit-ups), definitely change their diapers, don't use them to lure famous husbands away from their wives who don't want kids, will always be there for them during those awkward teenage years when they might want to try cocaine & alcohol during an orgy-infested kid-of-a-celebrity party... and that's one to grow on.

But then again I don't remember promising anyone I was even remotely funny.
I feel honored though.. one would think someone with your caliber of humor (shaving balls.. facking off... lol-worthy) would be bashing and talking with... well I can't name names.

what happens when ethnic kids fall out of fashion? will we our streets be filled with abandoned foreign children in designer clothes? Will they become like shoulder pads and leggings; relegated to be locked in the back of the closet until the brief and ill advised fashion trend re-emerges? I am already panicking about what to do with the small Malaysian kid I adopted once it gets to old to be cute!

67. purplepuppy - April 13, 2006 2:07 PM
Oh, aren't I wonderful adopting the poor little children rather than working for a cause that would help to improve and strengthen under-privalleged countries. It's much better to remove a tax write-off, ooops, I mean child from their native country. So they can forget all about their traditions and culture and grow up to be money-grubbing, selfish, over-fed, consumer-driven, elite, Westerners. I am a Jedi Knight after all, and everything I do is noble and socially responsible.

Why would anyone adopt a Mongoloid? Diapers and helmets are expensive, as are broken bones when your 20 year-old, 250 lb, retard of a son goes bat-shit crazy over a bag of Skittles and beats you with the Speak and Spell you bought him thinking it might bring him up to the level of a 3 year-old chimp.

@70 - just had my morning Makers Mark spray out my nose. I'm not mad though.
They want the mongoloid as a play-thing for the two "natural daughters". Since both parents are freakishly skinny the likelihood is the girls will be horribly bullied at school. So they get to come home and do "experiments" with MongoTardo with no worries of being tattled on. Kind of like a kitten, only with drool.

Mongolia is the new Africa. I wonder if they wore their "Team Jolie" shirts from Kitson when they went to pick up their orphan.
Oh and orphans are the tiny dogs. Luckily they come with their own Louis Vuitton dog carrier, and since they are malnourished they won't be over 12 pounds before their owner loses interest in them.

I got a couple a Mongos in my closet, keep the Somalis in the basement cause they try to eat the others, got some street kids from Rio takin care of the lawn, let them have the table scraps out in the yard... beat em all with a tire iron once a day just in case I missed anything while I was sleeping.

83. gammanormids - April 13, 2006 5:25 PM
These superstars have the money to adopt 100 children. So, what's wrong if he wants to use in something good that can benefit someone else than himself? Ewan is a very good father: I doubt he will treat this child as some accesory, like some other people we know.
84. NoleGal - April 13, 2006 5:28 PM
When did a 4 year-old become a "new baby"? I could see a case for derision if this adoptee were a newborn, rather than a toddler. Frankly, most adoptive parents only want a cute baby, and a toddler or older child is much less likely to be adopted as a result.
And I guess that many of you haven't seen "The Long Way Round." Great show - for once, a creative premise on TV. Yay! Ewan and Charlie spent time in Mongolia - who's to say there's not a specific reason that McGregor adopted this particular child?
As for the publicity issue, I work in corporate PR...here's how it works - the press is going to find things about your client, so it's just smart gamesmanship to issue a pre-emptive release. This doesn't make someone a publicity hound, necessarily. It's just smart.

#84 How was this not a publicity stunt? Obviously if he did not come out and say he adopted this kid, who the hell would have cared?
If you are really in PR you would realize that there is no need for a pre-emptive release for this stupid story. He is trying to come off as some kind of hero for adopting a poor starving kid, in reality this happens all the time by NON-CELEBS, so when Ewan goes and adopts a kid and makes a point to release this information does he really give a shit about this mongolian? I doubt it.
86. Spindoc - April 13, 2006 6:10 PM
#84...Tsk Tsk Tsk. You should realize that the superficial has people from all over posting on it. Some of us have friends or family members in publicity also. So we know ALL about how young stars are told to "Pick one of these charities" to sponsor, how they are "Accidentally" photographed while they are at a homeless shelter smiling while they hug a child "Wow, how did the photogs know they were going to be there?" And of course the best is the surrepticious shaving of age. Gee, I didn't know Julia Roberts was the same age as my older brother! Thats funny since he was a sophmore in high-school when she starred in Mystic Pizza and back then was age-listed as being in her 20's. ;)
87. Retro Kitten - April 13, 2006 8:48 PM
I want Ewan to adopt me! And then we can start a relationship like Woody Allen and Soon-Yi. Yes, yes that would be very nice!
88. Jayne - April 13, 2006 8:52 PM

I'm so lost now :(
bafongu, the banana peel adds more time...
why on earth would I complain about it?

#47 - Mamacita, you can go to the store and write a check for a copy and, what the hell, get dinner tonight cause you'll get paid tomorrow. Kim's handling payroll now. LOL
#85 - I would like to point out the fact that even though he came out and said it, I still do not give a shit.
Mama, Papa, Trotter (where the hell did you come from?) Oshkosh - you are all off the shizzle fo' rizzle today. Can't even make words for how funny.

94. heifferzzz - April 14, 2006 5:42 AM
haha!! GO JAYNE!! bafongu#28 is not worth commenting on coz you shat all over his ass & dumb half-assed opinions! & biatcho, haha, dude relax, Jayne already won this on her second reply. You know you're desperate when you start pointing out spelling mistakes on a site like this. It's called a 'typo' bitch!
Mongoloid comments are so blah, come on Papahotnutz, i expected better, seriously, Pulpo kicked your ass w/out intending to!
95. mamacita - April 14, 2006 9:49 AM
@94
Uhhhhhh................wrong. On all counts. You suck. Typing really short, choppy sentences is fun, but let's face it, I'm a wordy bitch. Jayne did not win anything, plus she's too much of a pussy to "name names", bafongu was damn funny with that banana comment, biatcho rules cause she had lost of Cabbage Patch dolls, and Papa's comment on Mongoloids was the funniest shit I've read in a long time. In summary, I'll go back to the short, choppy sentence. You suck.
@58
Dude, I had about 5 of them bitches. I had 2 of the Cabbage Patch Pets, a Cabbage Patch from Spain (who I named Rupert, of all things), and 2 regular ones. My mom took one of the bald ones to the orthodontist and had braces put on it's "teeth", because she had braces at the time and she thought I would think it was funny if my baby matched her. Isn't that so weird?
96. mamacita - April 14, 2006 9:56 AM

Geez, not only does Kim fail at life, she also fails at being an "employer". I still haven't gotten my check and now I have to have scrambled eggs AGAIN.

94: Heffer: Not sure what the fuck you're reading but Jayne the ignorant slut was the one who pointed out to me that I didn't use the correct term when I was "quoting" her back to herself.
I merely was applauding her use of commas, exclamation points, etc...
So when you learn how to read come back & join us and we'll still make fun of your stupid ass.
And I'm really super hung over today and hungry so bring it if you're gonna bring it.
And don't call me a dude you carpet munching dyke whore.
98. biatcho - April 14, 2006 10:09 AM
#95: How many stupid names did your babies come with? My first one was named Bob Marcel. I mean, BOB? Little babies aren't named BOB... and grown men that are are bald, fat & ugly.
Then I got one of those premie babies with the little Mr.T mohawk-esque patch on his head. His name was Jack and ruled.
I am going to stop talking about this now because I am setting myself up for some serious doucheing by people...
99. heifferzzz - April 14, 2006 10:10 AM

100. mamacita - April 14, 2006 10:24 AM

Uhhhhh Marc Anthony post? Whaaat???? Also, it can't technically be called "jumping on the bandwagon" when I was on the bandwagon a long ass time before you arrived with your not funny posts. Also, I AM spineless, and I hardly think it's appropriate for you to poke fun at such a horrifyingly tragic birth defect. As I type, I'm literally folded in half because I have nothing to keep me upright. Thanks a lot *sob* *sob* *sob*.

I am not looking for fame, I am not a desperate piece of shit such as yourself. I find joy in making fun of people like you who take themselves FAR too seriously and actually think that they are holier than thou. You make fun of people for posting on here yet you seem to thrive on it yourself... so you're nothing but a useless hypocrite who can't bring anything to the table. Do the world a favor & kill yourself.

108. heifferzzz - April 14, 2006 10:55 AM
i make fun of people posting on here? i'm the hypocrite? nothing like a good dish of short-sightedness. don't try to take shortcuts & gain mass support by making it look like its heifferz v superfic posters! i mean, you were the one that said 'bring it!’
so now I take myself far to seriously?! well yes, that would explain why I’m on a site like this!… no seriously, I can see the logic. ur a smart cookie & a very unselfish one, bringing things to the table & all. if I were more like you I would kill myself but no, sadly, tragically, I’m not! I’m a selfish bitch! so why should I do anything for the sake of the world?
Btw, if I’m lucky, I’ll post 3 times again!
109. biatcho - April 14, 2006 11:01 AM

no no, i know ur mum told u that u had psychic powers, but mothers say shit like that to make u feel good...outside my window is a yard & then a fence which since i'm not psychic i can't see beyond…plus just like ur mum tells u ur psychic, mine tells me she loves me & like u, I tend to believe my mum!
111. biatcho - April 14, 2006 11:03 AM
wait - are you still typing? I thought you were dead. I guess you're just fat.
112. biatcho - April 14, 2006 11:06 AM
and apparently really weird & stupid. Must be because you say Mum - which is a flower not a parent. (insert Heffer saying "I am not from the United States, you're all so selfish enough to think we're all from the United States. I am cool because I say Mum and Bum when I talk about my fat ass").

heifer does mean female cow which do tend to be kinda FAT... u know i never thought of that! oh ur too clever!
& still with trying to gain mass support!lol! the ‘insert heffer’ thing, yeah, ur words not mine! & ur kinda getting too desperate for me, with trying to drum up support & all, making it a US v non-US thing.. & u called Jayne 'ignorant.' lol!
Looks like u lost, because unlike u, I don’t need support to say what I got to say…& let me remind u again, U said ‘bring it!’
115. biatcho - April 14, 2006 11:18 AM
Yes I did say bring it... you can read!
Did I ever tell you I hate people that are too fat & lazy to type words so they use abbrevaiations like "u r so cool" and OMG LOL". It is fucking annoying & it makes you sound like one of those stupid chicks who have long fake nails and paint flags on them in honor of the 4th of July.
fatty.

@114
If you type "u" or "ur" instead of "you" or "your" one more time, I swear to God, you WILL die. I know that for sure, because I have psychic powers. At least, that's what my mum told me.
120. heifferzzz - April 14, 2006 11:22 AM
#101 sorry, i forget, were my posts meant to be funny? see i was just following ur lead! plus, u weren't vocal till now so yeah i'd say that's jumping on the bandwagon! & sorry about the spineless thing, i see you can't help it! Marc Anthony...yeah he's mexican right!

Ok, all of you are fighting so I have to weed through all that just to laugh at what Oshkosh, Mamacity, PapaHotNuts and all the others have written. Damn you all for making me work. P.S. what happened between Lindsey Lo-Whore and Jessica Simp-Stain?
131. NoleGal - April 14, 2006 1:52 PM
My head hurts from reading all of the posts from last night...::rubbing temples::
Anyhow...in response to a couple of comments...first of all, I'm very lucky to NOT have to work as a publicist for a celebrity. One of the nice things about corporate PR is that the tantrums and stunts I deal with are generally far more benign. I get to spend my days on the phone with the AP and various mags and dailies discussing new products or personnel changes, or drafting releases. Very exciting stuff, y'know?
I'm not naive enough to believe that much of the altruism in Celebworld doesn't stem froma calculated need to raise one's public profile. It sucks, but again, regardless of the intention, if a good deed is being done, well, my tendency is to think, yay.
Another point I had made was that we probably didn't know much about the circumstances of the adoption, particularly given the unusual age of the little girl at the time of adoption. I ran across this little gem of info a few minutes ago on MSN.com -
""I can confirm Ewan McGregor and his wife, Eve Mavrakis, have adopted the girl but cannot comment further," the actor's tight-lipped rep tells the mag.
According to the London Evening Standard, the "Star Wars" star-cum-UNICEF ambassador met the tyke two years ago while in Mongolia filming "Long Way Round," the Bravo adventure series in which he and pal Charley Boorman trekked around the world on motorcycles for three months."
So I suppose I wonder...knowing this bit of information, and deducing that it's likely that adoption proceedings have been ongoing for some time, does this mean anything to both the I-heart-Ewans and the Celebs-are-all-evil-succubis on The Superficial? ;)
P.S. Ewan McGregor appeared fully naked in "The Pillow Book." When they showed the film my freshman year of college at the student union, I was in the front row. ::big grin::
And I was NOT disappointed! ::even bigger grin::

Wow!!!!
I get that it is lame that celebrities are always being hailed as heros for every little thing they do, but are some of you really saying that they shouldn't adopt kids?!?!?!?!
You whacky celeb-hating neocons are out of control. Why are you spending so much time on here anyway? Shouldn't you be listening to Fat Limbaugh or praying to the president right now? God bless y'all.

ah biatcho u make me laugh,could ur insult be any more predictable? so predictable u can't even call it an insult.
& mamacita, u practically live on the net, how can u not know what 'min' means? don't deny ur lack of a social life, after all, there aren't many options for spinless wagon hopping freaks.
& osh-gosh, yes, it's all true, everything u said...u psycic u!
i hope my 'u' & 'ur's' annoyed all of u sufficiently!...till next time, not Mon biatcho, coz i don't hang out for the next post like u, 15min-celebrity-hunter! 'huntress' would make u a woman...
142. heifferzzz - April 16, 2006 6:29 AM
muhahahahahahah!!!! BIATCHO, you're 31!LOL! Dude, enough said! I give up, you win whatever, because you are OLD!!LOL! I CANNOT compete with that shit! Whatever you say to me now, I'll just be laughing at! No really, you win!!hahaha!Best.Site.Ever!

@141
"& mamacita, u practically live on the net, how can u not know what 'min' means? don't deny ur lack of a social life, after all, there aren't many options for spinless wagon hopping freaks."
First of all, the whole "min" comment was sarcasm and me playing stupid. Since you are more mentally challenged than that Mongoloid Ewan adopted, I wouldn't expect you to understand. Also, in case you wondered, it's reaallllllly hard for me to do all this wagon hopping without a spine. Lastly, I think I've commented many times on the fact that I have no life, so your little dig about that reallllllly doesn't score any points.
P.S. Most of the people that come on the Superficial have at least a minor addiction to this site. I'm sure you don't, but that's only because no one likes you.
P.P.S. Are you enjoying your Skittles?
144. heifferzzz - April 16, 2006 8:18 PM
#143 haha, & i wasn't being sarcastic?...FOOL! oh & it's easy for spineless people to 'wagon hop' they just roll their wheelchairs up & down. Since they’re in a wheelchair, 'hop' means roll to them, coz you know, you can't discriminate against these people, there are laws against it.
Thanks for the confession, i wouldn't quite say i'm not addicted because no one likes me, (though that may be true, but see that never really mattered to me, i don't try to be a celebrity on a GOSSIP BLOG) but more because you know, i have this thing called a LIFE & well who wants to be addicted & here when they’re over 25, or even 22 really…I suppose you don’t have to ‘imagine.’

146. Little Miss Stanley - April 17, 2006 4:47 AM
I hate to criticise anyone (ok, actually I bloody love it...) but there is a difference between mongoloid (pejorative term for someone with Down's Syndrome, wherever they are from) and mongolian (someone from Mongolia). Unless of course people already knew this and were simply 'confusing' the two for hilarious comedy effect...
I say fair enough - if you read the book that goes with 'The Long Way Round' you'll see that Mongolia did make a huge impression on him, how much he loves his wife (oh, would that I were she...) and family so probably makes sense.

Oh wait...am I allowed to say the word moosecock to someone under the age of 12? I might get sued for that one, buuuut I'll take my chances because I heard you really like to suck moosecock.
149. biatcho - April 17, 2006 9:57 AM
oh & heffer: yeah, you really have yourself quite the life there chickie. Let's see it what was time on a Sunday night that you were saying you had a life & it's ridiculous to be addicted to this site??? Some of us that are old enough to have jobs come on here all day to avoid doing work. It is nothing we care to do in our spare time when there's so much alcohol & sex to be had. Suck it mooscocklicker!
150. Praxilla - July 30, 2006 3:24 AM
Listen you fking wanker, Ewan did not adopt this child because it's the "in" thing to do. He met this child and many others on his motocycle trip around the world. This trip changed his life. I'm very proud of Ewan with what he did, he's a wonderful man and father. So go suck some ass.
