All this blog space wasted because she was too damn lazy to spend a couple weeks in Cannes for an all-expense paid, first class trip to promote her own career. #ByeMo Short-sighted is right! How dare she compare this to her struggles 20 years ago when she was coming up, leaving her son behind. I have no sympathy because promoting a global smash like Precious for a couple weeks is not the same as leaving your kid behind for years. At that point she already had the stardom she sacrificed so much for, so it's not the same. Point being: she just didn't want to fly overseas.
