October 2007
The schedule today so far: 9 am wakeup (in “bed” at 2 am), work on column. Edit column with Mom (my first editor). Send in one-liners for Star photos of celebs with bad style, prep for Britney talk on CNN’s Showbiz Tonight, frantically try to find orange shirt amongst 80 boxes, jump in car to CNN, tape segment … More to come
Thank you.
You didn’t have to do what you did. And we both know it. I would not be where I am without you. I wouldn’t be WHO I am without you. Please know that I will never forget that. You’ve taught me what true generosity is, and I’m a better person because of you. No one has ever loved me as unconditionally. I don’t think you’ll ever realize how much you changed...
She gets it! →
She pulled one of my favorite lines from this week’s Time Out column on not being ready to get hitched: “I still want to wonder if he likes me, not if he’s taken out the trash.” I’ve had “has he taken out the trash” relationships before, and I’m just TOO YOUNG for those right now!! Everyone seems so eager to get to the finish line that they forget...
Did you know that being tired leads to the same...

What qualifies one to be a tv pundit?
It has been alleged that I am not qualified to talk about business or politics on television - that I should stick to “Britney & Lindsay.” (girl topics, of course!) Now, given, talking about entertainment on tv for Star magazine is my job, and I love it. But I resent the fact that there are those who choose to make the (pretty ridiculous) argument that I’m not qualified to...

Dear World Blogger,
Have you heard of sarcasm? No? That’s awful. You’re missing out on a fun and useful “humor” technique.
Oh! I’d love to stay and chat, but I have to email my rich boyfriend.
Love,
Julia
PS. Thank you for calling me “gold-digger hot.” Or maybe you meant, “gold-digger, hot.” The first phrase is funnier, so I’ll...

My Time Out New York column: Marriage = Sounds... →
Julia: I wrote about not wanting to get married for my column this week in Time Out.
Jakob: I wouldn't get married to anyone anytime soon.
Julia: Not even Claudia Schiffer?
Jakob: Is she still alive?
Lilly = Marshmallow
High school boyfriend: Did you get ANOTHER dog???
Julia: No, Lilly & Marshmallow are the same dog. I just call her different names according to my mood. Also, sometimes I call her Bunny, but that's just a nickname.
High school boyfriend: I still think you're too self-absorbed for a single dog, let alone two... Three if you count that one that stays with your parents that always bites me, the son of a bitch.
Julia: That's Langdon. He's very intuitive about people.
Marshmallow is a GIRL!!!!

Jesus christ, JUST BUY IT ALREADY.
Julia: Dad, seriously. I don't know how to phrase this more clearly. BUY. GOOGLE. I told you to buy it at 180. I told you to buy it at 320. I told you - ON AIR, ON THE FOX BUSINESS CHANNEL - to buy it at 600. I told you to buy it at 640. It is now 680. WHY. WON'T. YOU. LISTEN. TO. ME?!?!?!?!??!
Dad: Hmm.
Julia: Dad!!!!!! When have I ever told you to buy another stock?!?!
Mom: You told us to buy Microsoft! [said in a negative way]
Julia: Um. What point is she trying to prove there?
Dad: I don't know.
OH MY GOD. I just fell off my chair laughing. →

What I'm Trying to Prove.
That women can:
Be smart and still be silly.
Be sexy and still be smart.
Be a girls’ girls and still love to flirt.
Love to flirt and not be derided as a cocktease.
Love to dress sexy and not be seen as a slut.
Love to have sexy (har) and not be seen as a whore.
Be ambitious and not a “self-promoter.”
Be assertive and not a bitch.
Be old and not be seen as irrelevant....

And this is the only reason I can jokingly put a “going to the chapel” reference in my last Jake & Julia video. I’m not going to any chapel, anytime soon. :)
