Wow, they really photoshopped Carrie Fisher on that poster. She looks like she did during the original trilogy in that shot, as opposed to what she looks like now. -

She gave an interview about her accident. Apparently she feels a lot better now. She still gets headaches when she does not take it easy though. She also discussed the extent of her injuries: A swollen stomach, an 8 cm cut above her left ear, she initially could not talk and she had two epileptic attacks.

Kinda getting some Basic Instinct vibes here. Co-sign!
She even gives us a bit of bootie in the mirror. Thanks Alyssa!
If they ever turn "Mean Girls" into a TV show, she needs to be cast in the Regina George role.
I would so watch that cooking show!
One thing I do not like: the one other Inhuman they are seemingly going to be focusing on is played by a really dull actor. I hope his screen time does not cut into supporting characters time, like Hunter and Bobbi.
For those with a certain mindset, familiarity breeds contempt. Two people from Bumhole Wherever are just as likely as not to defer to common, if potentially awkward, decency when experiencing new cultures. Perception matters a lot, perception is effected by the environment, and ours is certainly incredibly toxic towards those who appear to be of Middle Eastern descent or to practice the Islamic faith. Taylor is young enough to have grown up entirely in a post-9/11 world in which such behavior has been normalized in media and encouraged by many of her country's political leaders and public intellectuals. This is not an excuse, but an explanation: It is possible to know better, but not if the people around her have all the same problems as some have claimed. That's not to suggest Taylor's out there watching the GOP primary debates, or Real Time With Bill Maher, but those attitudes permeate the culture. Celebrities, being relatively insulated as they are from substantive consequences for having bad opinions, have little incentive to educate themselves and routinely demonstrate an incapability to grasp delicate issues. Even Modelfanatic's avatar has not been immune to just this sort of behavior. But like I said, this sort of shit is common, we just tend to find out when celebrities do it. Nobody in the media is reporting on, nor is there a forum thread dedicated to, your racist cousin. All good points.
The thing I don't understand about the racism is that these are two people who work and live (or have lived) in multi-cultural places where there is a vast variety of backgrounds and nationalities. Yet they still display such galling ignorance and bigotry. It would make a lot more sense from two people from Bumhole Wherever who were on their first trip abroad, but obviously Taylor and Gelboy are not that.
So basically there is proof out there that he is guilty of statutory rape?
Damn Gio!
Interesting look. Weird that she is not more well-known.
Tabbers!
I'll be in my bunk.
She and gelboy mocked a random person of North-African/Middle-Eastern descent in Paris.
Erm, she is the one who chose to post racist behavior on her own social media account, how exactly is this our fault?
+1 wut? Just garden variety bigotry. The nonsense that pushed Europe into the abyss in the 1930s and 1940s didn't go away, it just lay dormant until such a time that those who held those views felt emboldened enough to voice them in public.
As for Taylor herself, the fact that she participated tells me that she has a lot of growing up to do. Which won't happen with this dude, but whatever.
He sure picked a great location to churn out his racist comedy act. Paris is about the worst place in Europe to wear your Islamophobic bigotry on your sleeve. Gel-boy is really lucky that he didn't get his face bashed in. France is not the US, genius. Their Muslim population is a tad bigger. (France: 9% Muslim, USA: 0.6%)
