Finding trustworthy mates is a difficult
task for many, but when you're a megastar like Robert Pattinson it becomes an
even larger challenge.
Just days before news broke about his
girlfriend Kristen Stewart's affair with "Snow White and the Huntsman" director
Rupert Sanders, the 26-year-old actor sat down for a candid interview about the
difficulties that accompany stardom.
Technology plays a major role in the
invasion of celebrity privacy and the "Twilight" superstar said, "I wish this
(Twilight) had happened 12 years ago, before camera phones and website TMZ.
Then it would have been amazing," adding, "being a successful actor... if you
just had the good side of fame it would have been unbelievable."
Robert went on to explain, "Now actors
are the most conservative people in the world because you can't do anything.
Literally,you can't do anything at all. You can't trust anyone because it all
becomes part of your career."
Since his 22-year-old lady cheated,
Pattinson has yet to face the media. That is about to change as premieres and
promotions for his upcoming films are quickly approaching.

Katie Holmes Forbids Suri Cruise From Wearing Designer Clothes
Suri is everyone’s favorite fashionista,
but the 6-year-old is about to get a huge culture shock! Mom Katie doesn’t want
her daughter receiving freebies and wearing designer duds anymore! Read the
shocking details.
Suri Cruise has been known to rock some of the latest styles and beauty trends — and she’s only six years old! However, all of that is about to change now that Suri is living in New York with her mom, Katie Holmes, and attending private school.
Apparently, Katie doesn’t want her daughter to sport the high heels, pricey clothes, and lipstick that he is often spotted wearing.
“Katie has been returning unsolicited gifts and loans from designers for Suri since she arrived in New York,” a source told Reveal magazine.
“She’s issued instructions to remove Suri from all freebie lists. She’s also put the word out in LA to stop any mini-me diva products being sent her way.”
Even more, the source claims that Suri’s glamorous lifestyle was all Tom Cruise‘s idea, and Katie just wants her daughter to have a normal childhood.
“Tom loved to spoil Suri and indulge her, but Katie has other ideas,” the source explained.
It seems this new life in New York will be much different for Suri than before!

Tom Cruise Plans To See Suri This Weekend
With his divorce from Katie just settled,
Tom is focused on spending time with Suri.
There has been much speculation surrounding the custody arrangement in Tom Cruise‘s divorce from Katie Holmes, with most reports indicating that Katie has been granted primary custody over their six-year-old daughter, Suri. While that may be true, a new report says that Tom is planning to see Suri very soon.
According to E! News, a source close to Tom says that the 50-year-old actor hopes to see his daughter as soon as he’s finished shooting in Mammoth Lakes, California, which could be as soon as this weekend.
“As soon as he is done shooting he will arrange to see Suri. If he wasn’t shooting up in the mountains, I am sure he already would be with her,” the source says.
The source also provided information regarding the custody arrangement, saying that Tom and Katie’s plan for visitation is “flexible” and “all set out” in the agreement. The source acknowledged that Katie, 33, has primary physical custody of Suri, but that “[Tom's] plan is to see Suri very, very often. He loves her dearly and is a normal parent.”
What do you think, HollywoodLifers? Are YOU surprised that Tom will be able to see Suri so soon?

Tom Cruise gets a smiley set visit from Connor
Tom Cruise was back on the set of Oblivion in Mammoth Lakes, CA, yesterday. He's been hard at work on the film since settling his divorce from Katie Holmes this Monday. It looks like he's been in good spirits despite the family drama and was even seen smiling and laughing with colleagues in recent days.
Tom got another boost during production when his son, Connor, stopped by to visit him between takes. Katie Holmes, meanwhile, has had her mom, Kathleen, and Suri by her side on the East Coast. Katie, Kathleen, and Suri stopped by the Central Park Zoo just yesterday and were likewise looking happy as they checked out the animals.

Suri to live primarily with Katie Holmes, according to divorce settlement with Tom Cruise
Although Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes agreed to keep the details of their divorce settlement under wraps, details have started to emerge. The most important one: the battle over their 6-year-old daughter Suri, of whom the actress requested sole custody in her June 29 filing. According to People magazine, both Cruise and Holmes agreed that Suri “should live primarily with her mother in New York City with generous visitation by her father.” Adds a source, “They both love their daughter and Tom thinks she should be with her mother … Neither one of them wanted this to be hashed out in public."
Ever since Holmes, 33, surprised Cruise with divorce papers just days before his 50th birthday, Suri has been spotted with her mother all over Manhattan. The two, who moved out of the “Rock of Ages” star’s East Village home and now live in a new three-bedroom apartment in the Chelsea neighborhood, have visited museums, grabbed lunch with friends, and gone out for ice cream together. Although Suri has not seen her father since he’s been filming in Iceland, she does reportedly talk to him on the phone every day. People also reports that she will be enrolled in a private school in the city come this fall.
Although she won the war for Suri, Holmes did not get much in the money battle with Cruise, according to the LA Times. The former “Dawson’s Creek” actress will not get “any significant money or property” due to their prenup, a source tells the newspaper. Holmes, the source adds, “was never after money but wanted to protect her daughter.”
Earlier on Monday, there were reports that Holmes wanted to banish Scientology from Suri’s life and also wanted a nanny of her choosing to accompany Suri at all times during visits with her father, but her lawyer warns that you shouldn’t believe everything you read. "There are numerous inaccuracies in the reports regarding the purported contents of the agreement reached between the parties," Jonathan Wolfe said in a statement. "The agreement is confidential and its terms will not be disclosed."

Why Tom Cruise insisted on calling Katie Holmes "Kate"
Katie Holmes has not only reclaimed her
life now that she's filed for divorce from Tom Cruise – she's also taking back
her name. Ever since the two first got together in 2005, the “Mission
Impossible” star has insisted on referring to his wife as "Kate," even though
neither her friends nor her family has ever called her that. And it clearly was
a name Holmes herself did not identify with because she never went by it
professionally, despite her husband's consistent use of it every time he
mentioned her publicly. In fact, in her statement announcing the split, Holmes'
lawyer said, “This is a personal and private matter for Katie and her family."
Cruise's response? "Kate has filed for divorce."
It first began in April 2006, when Holmes, now 33, was still pregnant with Suri, but not yet married to Cruise. During an interview with All Headline News, he explained, "Katie is a young girl’s name. Her name is Kate now – she’s a child-bearing woman." At the time, it was also reported that Holmes had agreed upon the name change "after discussing it with Tom" and as a result “all friends and family now call her Kate.”
The only person to publicly call the former "Dawson’s Creek" star the name that Cruise, 50, preferred was his longtime friend Brooke Shields, who was invited to the couple’s lavish wedding in a move that seemed like an attempt to extend an olive branch. Remember when Cruise called her out for "drug use after she admitted she used anti-depressants to battle postpartum depression following the birth of her first daughter? (He said she should have simply taken vitamins). “Kate called me herself to invite us to the wedding," Shields said at the time. “It would have felt like a slap to say no."
As much as Cruise pushed “Kate,” it just didn’t stick, not just in her personal life, but her professional one as well. On every movie poster for the films she has made since getting together with Cruise, she has been billed as “Katie Holmes.” The same goes for all the covers of the fashion magazines she has graced: They, too, spell out "Katie Holmes."
By filing for divorce, Katie is also shedding another unwanted name: Mrs. Tom Cruise.

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes to Divorce
TomKat is no more. Katie Holmes, 33, has
filed for divorce from Tom Cruise, who turns 50 Tuesday, her lawyer told People
magazine Friday. While of course it means an end to their romance, it also means
the end of one of the most high-profile celebrity couples, well, ever. No more
couch-jumping. No more serenading. No more public declarations of love. To mourn
the end of Tom and Katie's love story, take a look back at some of their most
memorable moments together.
Last week, Tom Cruise took daughter Suri and son Connor to an awards ceremony in New York. Meanwhile, Katie Holmes was on the other side of the planet in Taiwan. The official reason was to promote an ice skating event.
Now that Holmes filed for divorce on Friday, according to People, Holmes' Taiwan trip seems more like a warning sign than anything else.
In recent months, the couple was rarely photographed together, even when the two were in the same city. Back in New York this week, Holmes was photographed all over town with Suri, wearing matching outfits, going to see the movie Brave, eating ice cream, all without Dad.

The Spice Girls Reunite to Announce Details About Upcoming Musical
It was a Spice Girl reunion in London on
Tuesday when Melanie Brown, Victoria Beckham, Emma Bunton, Geri Halliwell, and
Melanie Chisholm came together to drum up interest in "Viva Forever," an
upcoming musical based on the hit songs of the '90s girl group.
The event took place at St. Pancras Renaissance London Hotel, where the Spice Girls filmed their music video for "Wannabe" back in 1996. The women looked better than ever as they gathered to talk about "Viva Forever," which will be produced by Judy Craymer, the mastermind behind the ABBA musical, "Mamma Mia!" The show centers around four women whose friendship is put to the test when their band competes on a TV talent-competition show. The musical, which opens this fall, will feature hit songs made famous by the Spice Girls, who sold 75 million records around the world.
"They sing it better than us," Melanie Brown, better known as Scary Spice, told the Associated Press, referring to the cast of the musical.
The Spice Girls formed in 1994 and shot to fame two years later when they released their debut single, "Wannabe." Some of their other hit songs include "Say You'll Be There," "Spice Up Your Life," and "Viva Forever," which was the inspiration for the name of the musical. Halliwell left the group in 1998, and while the remaining four continued to make music together, they called it quits in 2000. This is the first Spice Girls appearance since they all participated in a reunion tour in 2007 and 2008.

Who Had the Best Pop-of-Pink Shadow Look This Week?
When we see pink on the eyes, we
typically see it in faint, shimmery finishes. This week, however, stars amped it
up, opting for vibrant, almost-opaque versions of the classically pretty shade.
Emma Stone wore hers from lids to brows, pairing the punchy look with
coordinating lipstick. Ginnifer Goodwin and Julianne Moore, on the other hand,
opted for a wash of the hue on just the lids. Not sure if this palette will for
you? Try layering your favorite pink-toned blush on the lids to test the
waters.

John Mayer "Humiliated" By Taylor Swift's "Dear John" Song
When you break Taylor Swift's heart, you
can bet she's going to write a song about it - and now John Mayer is speaking
out for the first time about the tune she wrote about him.
The "Half Of My Heart" singer says he was "really humiliated" when he heard Taylor's "Dear John" song directed at him, telling the latest issue of Rolling Stone, "It made me feel terrible, because I didn't deserve it. I'm pretty good at taking accountability now, and I never did anything to deserve that. It was a really lousy thing for her to do."
Swift and Mayer were rumored to have been an item for a short time while splitting before the country singer released the song on her best-selling 2010 album, "Speak Now", in which she sings out, "Dear John, I see it all, now it was wrong / Don't you think 19 is too young to be played by your dark twisted games, when I loved you so?"
The single debuted right around the time Mayer went on a two-year hiatus following controversial interviews with Rolling Stone and Playboy and, at the time, Swift said of the song, "There are things that were little nuances of the relationship, little hints, Everyone will know, so I don't really have to send out emails on this one."
Sitting down with Rolling Stone again, Mayer insists, "I never got an e-mail. I never got a phone call, I was really caught off-guard, and it really humiliated me at a time when I'd already been dressed down. I mean, how would you feel if, at the lowest you've ever been, someone kicked you even lower?"
When John was asked to explain Taylor's lyrics, he opined, "Don't you think I was too young to be messed with? I don't want to go into that."
In the new Rolling Stone issue - which is set to hit newsstands on Friday - Mayer continued to bash Taylor for her "Dear John" release, stating, "I will say as a songwriter that I think it's kind of cheap songwriting. I know she's the biggest thing in the world, and I'm not trying to sink anybody's ship, but I think it's abusing your talent to rub your hands together and go, 'Wait till he gets a load of this!' That's bullshit."

Bobby Brown, Cissy Houston, More of Whitney's Family Cash In
Just months after the superstar's death,
her relatives are using the singer to flog TV appearances, reality shows, and a
tell-all book. They say they want to protect the singer's name—but some just
need the income, says Allison Samuels.
Odds are that no matter the results of the 2012 presidential election, singer Whitney Houston's death will still likely be deemed one of the biggest stories of year. Not only was Houston one of the most dominant superstars of a generation, she also died a rather tragic and untimely death. Those dynamics make the story of her life and passing even more fascinating to the masses.
Still, her demise following a long battle with drugs won't be the only disturbing event remembered by fans and admirers of the singer. The actions and reactions from her family, ex-husband, and former cohorts in the aftermath of her death will surely go down in infamy as well.
From the interview with Oprah on the OWN network that showcased Houston's beloved only child Bobbi Kristina speaking for the first time, to ex-husband Bobby Brown's appearance on The Today Show, relatives of the late singer have wasted little time in their attempt to put the "real story" of Whitney all out there for the world to see. Unfortunately each version of the "real Whitney" appears to be tainted with inconsistencies and half-truths. Pat Houston, the singer’s sister-in-law and manager, told Oprah Winfrey the star was completely drug-free shortly before she died. Toxicology reports and the fact that she was doing handstands at the hotel pool indicated the opposite.
Bobby Brown, Houston's ex-husband, told Matt Lauer on Today that he'd never done hard drugs until he met Whitney—apparently suggesting New Jersey-born superstar was the one who led him astray in the land of mischief and mayhem. Many close to Brown beg to differ.

It's just a month away from being
released, and " Katy Perry: Party of Me 3D" has just leaked a new clip to start

Tyler Perry Defends Bobbi Kristina: "Leave This Baby Alone!"
After rumors started swirling this
morning (May 30) that Bobbi Kristina Brown walked off the set of her latest
show, the series creator Tyler Perry jumped to her defense.
In a report put out by Radar online on Wednesday, sources claimed that Whitney Houston's daughter quit the TBS comedy "For Better or Worse" a few weeks ago because she was still dealing with her mother's death.
However, after getting word of the rumor, Perry took it upon himself to set the record straight in a blog post reading, "NOT TRUE AT ALL PEOPLE!!! There is no way that she could have walked off the set because we have finished taping the season."
In the lengthy comment, the comedian also explains that he wrote Miss Kristina into his show after spending "a long time talking about her goals and dreams" to act.
The actor-director-producer explained that he thought this would be good for the 19-year-old, penning, "I thought that there would be no better way for me to help her move through the grieving than by giving her something to focus on. The one thing that I learned after my mother’s death is that you have to keep busy and you have to be around people who you can trust, so that when you do grieve you can do it in the safety and privacy of people that care."
After confirming that there were tough days on set for the actress due to her recent loss, Tyler says she still did what she came there to do explaining, "she managed to finish her obligation and did a great job at the same time."

Whitney Houston Honored with 2012 Billboard Millennium Award
Being recognized with an emotionally charged salute for
her life achievements, the late Whitney Houston was selected as the recipient of
the Billboard Millennium Award at the 2012 Billboard Music Awards on Sunday
night (May 20).
The "I Will Always Love You" singer - who tragically passed away on February 11th - was honored with a tribute led off by comedian Whoopi Goldberg, who said, "I adored Whitney Houston. What all performers want and need and should get is love, and many of us here loved Whitney, and even if you're one of those who didn't show the love to Whitney, now is your chance, because tonight, that's what we're doing: We're going to be giving Whitney the greatest love of all."
With John Legend performing "Greatest Love of All" followed by Jordin Sparks belting out "I Will Always Love You", the stage efforts were followed by speeches - as Whitney's sister-in-law, Pat Houston, said, "This is truly an honor. We thank you, Billboard; we thank you, Whoopi, Jordin; we love you, John. But tonight, the one person that should be accepting this award is the one person that Whitney loved most."
Pat then passed the spotlight over to Whitney's daughter, Bobbi Kristina,who kept her message short and sweet while saying, "I just really want to say thank you to everyone who supported us through it all. Thank you so much for showing that much love, 'cause she deserved it. There will never be another one, ever. I thank you so much."

Kristen Stewart: My Life Is Pretty Easy
The previews for the upcoming film "Snow White and the Huntsman" show a world that's much darker than Disney's 1937 animated classic "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs." There's no sign of singing dwarfs, and especially no prim princess wearing a sweet little frock. This Snow White gallops on horses while wearing armor, and if she has to wear a dress, it's going to be dark. So as director Rupert Sanders explains, one young actress, known for her slightly rebellious attitude, was a perfect fit for the role: "Twilight" star Kristen Stewart. "[This Snow White's] not a damsel in distress relying on the handsome prince to save her," Sanders reveals to Elle in a new interview with Stewart, 22. "She's someone who bonds the men together to reclaim the kingdom. And Kristen was exactly what she personified: tough, independent, resilient."
Stewart, who's also fiercely private, particularly about her romantic relationship with "Twilight" co-star Robert Pattinson, has been acting for more than a decade. Audiences first took notice of her in 2002's "The Panic Room," where she played Jodie Foster's daughter. And while she's pretty open about her dislike of the fame that comes along with her profession, she still really loves her craft. "Laurence Olivier was asked, 'Actors, what's the impulse? Why?'
The image Stewart chooses to present in the Elle photo shoot, which was done by Tom Munro, is that of both a glam Hollywood siren (think Angelina) and a dapper leading man. She posed in designs from high-fashion brands like Gucci, Prabal Gurung, Balenciaga, and Tom Ford. However, one of her accessories was noticeably missing. It was the gold ring she's been spotted wearing on her index finger that's rumored to be from R.Pattz. "Everyone wants to know," she says of the ring. "Everyone knows already — it's ridiculous."
Though Stewart's normally not one for smiling very much, she admits that she's had a pretty good life. The L.A. native confesses that, at times, she even thinks it's been too easy. "You can learn so much from bad things" Stewart says. "I feel boring. I feel like, Why is everything so easy for me? I can't wait for something crazy to f---ing happen to me. Just life. Do you know what I mean?" She adds, "It's one of the reasons I want to act. I love living in different worlds, because a lot of times mine is pretty nice and easy."

Nicole Scherzinger: "Men In Black III" German Premiere!
Making a trip to Europe, the beautiful
Nicole Scherzinger attended the German premiere for "Men in Black III" to
support her co-star pal Will Smith.
The former Pussycat Doll looked stunning in a purple gown with her gorgeous locks down and curly while she stopped to give the film's star a kiss on the cheek at the O2 World Arena venue.
As for the movie, the "Men In Black" sequel is set to open in theaters Memorial Day weekend and has faced many marketing challenges since it’s last film was released more than 10 years ago.
"With something like 'Men in Black,' a sequel is actually more difficult than the original," said Walter Parkes, who has produced all three of the films. "The challenge is to be fresh and original but also deliver on the core values of the franchise."
Sony pictures is confident that the star power of Smith, along with Tommy Lee Jones and Josh Brolin, will help the opening succeed.

Bobby Brown Plays Tribute to Whitney in "Tonight Show" Performance
Bobby Brown became world famous as part
of New Edition, and last night (May 16) Bobby Brown was once again flying solo
on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno."
The "My Prerogative" singer gave a high-energy performance of his brand new single "Don't Let Me Die," a tribute to his late ex-wife Whitney Houston.
And from the lyrics, it was obvious that Brown is having a hard time dealing with the " I Will Always Love You" songstress' death.
Bobby sang, “I don't know how to live without you . I need you here.I guess I messed up pretty bad . I didn't know who you were . I didn’t know what we had. Now I’m stuck living in the past, trying to get the pieces back / But I guess now you're gone."

Brad Pitt: First Man To Front Chanel No. 5
For the first time ever, a male is
expected to emerge as the face of Chanel No. 5 - and that fella is said to be
none other than Brad Pitt.
Sources say the 48-year-old actor will start shooting the first ad campaigns in London this week after reportedly signing on as the spokesperson for the famous French scent.
However, Pitt comes with a hefty price tag. According to E! Online, the "Fight Club" stud is allegedly being paid somewhere in the "seven figures" range to lend his image to Chanel No. 5.
Brad joins a number of famous faces to pose for the perfume including Nicole Kidman, Keira Knightley and Ali McGraw.
The campaign is expected to launch overseas sometime later this year.

issue of ELLE magazine.

More Shirtless, Tattooed Tom Cruise Photos in W Magazine
For those who were left salivating after
seeing Tom Cruise shirtless and tattooed on the June cover of W last week,
there's more! The magazine has released three new photos, which show the actor —
sporting long hair and fake ink — putting on his best rock star poses to promote
his upcoming movie musical, "Rock of Ages." In the film, which is based on the
mega-hit Broadway play, he plays Stacee Jaxx, a sleazy '80s-era rock star that's
part Axel Rose, part Bret Michaels — but with Cruise's own special spin. After
learning how to play guitar and training with the Guns N' Roses singer's vocal
coach for weeks, "I was thinking about the character, and I said, 'You know
what? I need a monkey,'" Cruise, 49, tells the magazine in its June issue. "Adam
[Shankman, the film's director] said, "What the f--k are you talking about?' And
I said, 'I'm serious — I need a monkey.' When Stacee's not onstage, he's kind of
sad. And I thought this guy has to have a monkey that's his best
friend."
After an extensive casting search for Cruise's primate co-star, Shankman found the perfect match: a baboon. But it had to meet the star's approval first. "He sent me the baboon's audition tape," Cruise adds with a laugh, "and I said, 'The baboon's name has to be Hey Man.' Stacee Jaxx doesn't work without Hey Man."
As for his character's sweet moves, Cruise didn't need too much practice. After all, he already showed us in 1983's "Risky Business" that he can bust it out, and even that memorable scene — in which the then-20-year-old actor danced around the house in his underwear and socks — was not much of a challenge. "I would sing Bob Seger — my mother worked, my sisters were out, and I'd turn the music up," he says. "I learned how to dance watching 'Soul Train.' I noticed that if a guy could dance, he'd get a lot of attention and girls would want to dance with him. I worked very hard at imitating those moves."
Obviously, those moves helped him snag his wife, Katie Holmes. In fact, it was her love of musicals that inspired Cruise to want to star in one. And it was their 6-year-old daughter Suri's obsession with "Hairspray" (he says they watched it 15 times in a row) that first got Cruise interested in working with its director, Shankman. "So I arranged to meet him and said, 'Where's our musical?'" Cruise tells W. "He came back and said, 'Rock of Ages.' We went and saw it in L.A." — and the rest is history.

months of dating and four months of engagement, Lady Antebellum's Dave Haywood
has tied the knot!

Bobby Brown: I'm "Not the Reason" Behind Whitney Houston's Death
News come from online.Thank you for your
reading.
In his first interview since his ex-wife’s death, Bobby Brown sat down with the "Today Show's" host, Matt Lauer to say, "I'm not the reason she's gone."
The R&B singer vividly opened up to say that he’s "very much clean and sober from narcotics," and tells Lauer about the last time he saw Whitney Houston and how he reacted when he found out about her death.
The 54-year-old host confronted Brown about the public's speculation that he is the reason the late singer's life took a turn for the worse, and he responds, "It makes me feel terrible."
"If anyone ever knew us, if anybody ever spent time around us instead of time looking through the bubble, they would know how we felt about each other," he added. “They would know how happy we were together."
Lauer asked Brown about the last time he saw Houston, which was about a week before she died, and he said, "he had this glow about her that was just, you know, incredible. I'm saying to myself, you know, 'She must be ... she must be doing really well,' because she looked really well."
Adding that he thought she was in a "good place."The two were married for 15 years and he claims that he was not the one who introduced her to narcotics, saying, "I didn't get high [on narcotics] before I met Whitney," Brown said. "I smoked weed, I drank the beer, but no, I wasn't the one that got Whitney on drugs at all."
He added that it was painful to see her suffering and eventually lose her life as a result of the drug use.
"I was hurt. I was hurt ... because, you know, me being off of narcotics for the last seven years, I felt that she was, you know, I didn't know she was struggling with it still. But at the same time, you know, listen, it's a hard fight. It's a hard fight to, you know, maintain sobriety that way."
The 43-year-old performer said that based on the last time he saw his ex-wife, it had to be the result of one day of cocaine use, and not a long term effect. "It had to be that one, because that's all it takes," Brown said. "One hit, you know ... it could definitely take your life away from you. And, unfortunately, that was it."

Jennifer Lawrence Eyes "The Glass Castle"
Jennifer Lawrence could pretty much name
her price and project and Jennifer Lawrence would likely get whatever she wanted
these days.
And it sounds like the "Hunger Games" hottie is already a shoo-in for the forthcoming Lionsgate adaptation of Jeanette Walls' memoir "The Glass Castle."
Per the official synopsis, "Jeannette Walls grew up with parents whose ideals and stubborn nonconformity were both their curse and their salvation. Rex and Rose Mary Walls had four children. In the beginning, they lived like nomads, moving among Southwest desert towns, camping in the mountains. Rex was a charismatic, brilliant man who, when sober, captured his children's imagination, teaching them physics, geology, and above all, how to embrace life fearlessly. Rose Mary, who painted and wrote and couldn't stand the responsibility of providing for her family, called herself an "excitement addict." Cooking a meal that would be consumed in fifteen minutes had no appeal when she could make a painting that might last forever.
"Later, when the money ran out, or the romance of the wandering life faded, the Walls retreated to the dismal West Virginia mining town—and the family—Rex Walls had done everything he could to escape. He drank. He stole the grocery money and disappeared for days. As the dysfunction of the family escalated, Jeannette and her brother and sisters had to fend for themselves, supporting one another as they weathered their parents' betrayals and, finally, found the resources and will to leave home.
What is so astonishing about Jeannette Walls is not just that she had the guts and tenacity and intelligence to get out, but that she describes her parents with such deep affection and generosity. Hers is a story of triumph against all odds, but also a tender, moving tale of unconditional love in a family that despite its profound flaws gave her the fiery determination to carve out a successful life on her own terms."
