People are strange and are complex. Nothing is ever cut and dry.

Whenever Lana posts pictures of her with her friends, its usually that same group we always see; Jen, Tatiana, etc. None of whom are "celebrities". Most of her friends do seem to be non-celebrities. Back to what I have said before, Lana really isn't a Hollywood insider. Lana is so normal, that it makes sense that she does not have a huge amount of celebrity friends.

Most people wish they looked as good as Lana!

The press doesn’t get excited over poetry. But we as Lana’s fans can do our part to get people excited about poetry

I really don’t know much about Marina. Musicians are complicated people and it’s not uncommon for friendships to end

You really can’t pay too much attention to it. At the end of the day Lana has more money and is more talented than these losers who troll her.

She can wear what she wants. It sure seems like a lot of trolls want to tell people what to wear, what to do, how to act. Lana has no interest in being a Hollywood glamour girl at this point in her life. Maybe she actually knows what’s important in life vs what isn’t important.

That’s because Madonna knows that what Lana said was true. Madonna was making music before Lana was born and knows the truth about the music business and its double standards. Coming from a music biz family myself I can verify that. Back in Joni Mitchell’s day there was no social media. You released music and people focused on that only. That is what we need. She’s not going to quit putting out music. She just isn’t interested in the whole Hollywood establishment. She goes to some industry parties but I can tell she doesn’t want to be there. She’s not into the superficial. She makes music but she does it for the people, not the establishment.

Twitter needs to be shut down. It’s already a national security threat. Just looks at who Twitter’s most infamous user is....

These folks who have been body shamming Lana; what do THEY look like? Do they look as good as Lana does? I doubt it. Also does any else find it interesting in the entertainment business that Adele gets praised for losing hundreds of pounds (with a diet which nutritionists advise against) and looking nothing like she did before, while Lana gained a little weight and is now back to her natural hair color? This obsession with being thin is a huge problem. I'm a guy but all the women I know and some of the women on here keep saying how they dread getting older because of all the scrutiny. You know how Joan Baez just painted Lana? I saw a recent picture of Joan Baez. She is 79 years old, has not done anything to enhance her appearance. She has just grossed older and embraced it and not cared about what people say. I respect that. Fuck society's backwards standards. Who needs those standards!?!?

I really don’t use twitter anymore and it’s for all these reasons!

Corporate propaganda indeed. The media is very bias and dishonest and is hell bent on dividing people are creating problems where there isn't one. This is why we need to being back the fairness doctrine. Adele lost weight (a lot of weight) and she gets praised left and right. She is skinny now and the media loves it. Lana Del Rey gains weight and people go nuts. Lana isn't overweight. She has the healthy figure as a 35 year old women. But the media establishment wouldn't know that. Have you ever seen any of these actresses or models in person? Its frightening how thin they are. Its unhealthy. We have a society which is pressuring girls into being something unnatural. This is why so many young girls deal with eating disorders and self harm. And the really skinny models in ads is problematic. I think it was Spain (not sure though) that put in a law saying that models can't be starved and can't be too thin because it became such a big problem.

She is healthy. I bet Lana's weight gain (which is hardly any weight gain) is from her quitting smoking. I'm willing to bet money on it. Everyone gains some weight after they quit smoking... except me!! I'm still thin for some dumb reason! lol And if she quit smoking (and vaping) then that is really great news and I'm super proud of her because quitting is hell. In these latest photos, she looks like a healthy 35 year old woman. I like her hair like this. I know we are used to seeing her as a brunette and this is a big change. But so long as this makes her feel comfortable then that's all that matters.

Taylor's new album is easily one of the best of 2020 so far. I'm not sure where I rank it amongst my favorites of the year at this point, but it sure makes the top ten. What I will say is that it feels the way an album should feel. It flows very well. Its kind of old school in the way it flows which I really like.

One's weight is very personal and its hurtful when people sham you for it. One of my sisters has struggled with her weight and she is the sweetest most loving person and she can tell you all about this.

And I'm also tired of the body shamming going on. Too many women in Hollywood are stick thin and its unhealthy. At least Lana doesn't starve herself. But we know she gained weight from quitting smoking and I salute her for quitting. I quit too recently and quitting smoking is hell... literally! Adele loses weight and gets praised. If someone gains weight that is somehow bad. Heck my therapist tells me to gain weight even though I eat well. I just have a fast metabolism.

Yes it is. However, some people are offended by the term "lazy susan". Larry David did a bit on this on Curb Your Enthusiasm.

Instead I should have said it is none of your business if she has a lazy susan that she uses for dinner parties. A Lazy Susan is less contentious than abortion. I just hope no one is offended by the term "Lazy Susan".

It should be about her hair. She is beautiful and FIERCE!!

So long as I don’t mention abortion in front of my 99 year old grandmother! I do think they loved each other.

And are you the moderator? No.

A Fan? You said you wouldn’t not financially support her (buy her music or go to her shows) if she dates Sean. So you being a fan is conditional even though who she dates has nothing to do with her as an artist even though it may inspire some songs.

Still crossing a boundary. Who Lana dates is her business. We have no right to know whether or not she may have had an abortion. We have no right to know who she may have been intamate with. Just because someone is famous does not mean you have full access to every aspect of that artist’s life. This is the problem now. John Lennon has been dead for 40 years and the “fans” still bitch about Yoko.

In New York she lived in Lake Placid (in Essex County NY), then Great Neck (Nassau County), then Brooklyn. But most of her years in NY were in Lake Placid. Again, I saw the house there she grew up in. But your really not a “fan” though. A fan doesn’t complain about every aspect of an artists life and who the artist dates. It’s been a year, so I can’t remember every single thing she says in an interview. I’m just hoping she goes on a Howard Stern soon.
