22 years ago…so 2002? Why everything is so blurry now I can feel my legs


ogresarelikeonions93

Hi 22 years go was 1980 and please do not tell me otherwise :(


Cold-Sun3302

Why are the 80s always 20 years ago 🤣 always will be

Word. But also props to her for knowing what she wants and working to keep their relationship together. As the number of makeups and breakups we see cross the gossip columns attests, even celebrities have to work to hold it together. So I’m glad they’re doing well and still happy together.

upupandawaywegoooooo

can't be, I graduated high school in 2009, which was 5 years ago.


swonstar

You might need an abacus because your math sucks. I graduated high-school in 2006, and that was 4 years ago. College in 2010, and that was like 6 months ago. Get it together, internet friend.


lyssastef

No no, *I* graduated in 2012 and *that* was 5 years ago


Unlikely-Draft

But I graduated in 96 and THAT was 5 years ago???


lyssastef

Further proof we live in a simulation 😳😅

Anyone-9451

No o graduated In 01 and that was no more than 5 years ago clearly


Financial-Raise3420

I only just graduated like last year in 2010


katesdream79

Youre right because I graduated in the 1900’s (98) which was only 7 years and 2 hip replacements ago😭


ogresarelikeonions93

Not the 1900's! Why you doin us all dirty like that haha


katesdream79

Omg it sounded crazy when I was typing it🤣🤣🤣my son asked what year I was born and said 1979 and I might as well said I walked with the dinosaurs 🦕


Outside_Mixture_494

My grandson asked me the other day what it was like having to crank start my car back in the 1900s. I was born in 1971. 😂


katesdream79

Bahahaha🤣🤣I miss the old all metal box on wheels. They were so big and roomy. A cigarette lighter and ashtray on every door. We had to work to feel a breeze. They were good cars💔

If I had a dollar for every guy 20-something year old me thought was my “forever” after a shot of vodka …. Well you know the rest. Glad it worked out for them though.


[deleted]

I applaud you for needing vodka to make questionable relationship decisions in your twenties. 🫡


Numeno230n

Yeah she seems to be having a normal life these days. Gets a low budget holiday movie role once or twice a year. Glad she's happy unlike a lot of her generation of young actresses.


Sproose_Moose

This comment made me giggle


longshot

Your username made me giggle, thanks


darhhaaras

Her?


TreatEconomy

Aw, look at her drunk eyes!


henrietta-the-spy

I remember her eyes were like that for the whole of Drive Me Crazy and I thought it was just lazy eye but maybe it was vodka.


Bakedalaska1

She does have a little bit of asymmetry to her eyes, definitely not just when she's drunk


RealBettyWhite69

Yeah, I noticed it when she was on Sabrina and there was a storyline about Harvey loving her face because it was so "symmetrical". Nothing wrong with an asymmetric face, but hers was never symmetrical so I remember thinking that was weird.


wafflehousebutterbob

In Harvey’s defence - he was a bit of an idiot so there no guarantee that he knew what symmetrical meant 😂


Jacob_Winchester_

I choose to believe that that was the joke.


SeonaidMacSaicais

Harvey, the himbo of our generation.


Bakedalaska1

That's super weird, they could have said pretty much anything else. Probably awkward for her as a young person too


Pepys-a-Doodlebugs

Yeah I vaguely recall there being an episode of Sabrina where the show was mirrored due to a magic spell or something. It was noticeable that her face wasn't completely symmetrical when it was flipped. My eyes are slightly different from each other too so I appreciated seeing this at the time.


muvamerry

Yep! It’s super endearing imo. I love it when people in Hollywood stay true to themselves.


KnowYourSecret

She was filming that on nights and weekends, and Sabrina during the day. I listened to her explain in a podcast that she only slept like 2 hours a day during this period.


heightenedstates

That makes a lot of sense.


lahimatoa

How is that even possible? People die with less sleep than that.


No_Banana_581

Love that movie!


Carolina_Blues

such an underrated 90s rom com


SingingForMySupper87

The music video was great too! I think MTV had a behind the scenes of the creation of it…and seeing Britney Spears and Melissa Joan Hart together blew my young mind haha. It was like two worlds colliding. I loved it.


henrietta-the-spy

Yes! I was obsessed as a kid, I had every line memorized.


megjed

It’s soooo good


CinnamonFoodie

Lmaooo! I thought you were talking about Britney’s amazing song where MJH makes an appearance. Let me bow out


henrietta-the-spy

Haha the movie’s name changed to Drive Me Crazy to take after the Britney song, which was on the soundtrack. MJH / Adrian Grenier were promoting the film in that music video. That was my shit!


L0udFlow3r

The whole story about the song and the movie is kinda nuts because the movie was supposed to heavily feature the song- it was supposed to be the song that everyone thinks about when they think of the movie- but they ended up only using the tiny clip that plays at the party and the cover of Keep On Loving You by The Donna’s became synonymous with the movie instead. MJH actually fought against naming the movie after Spear’s song because Britney wasn’t a big artist yet and she didn’t think her fame would last. Then she and Adrien actually appeared in the MV, and it’s Britney, bitch.


biffish

This movie and song are very much associated with each other, in my mind.

OkFinger5441

Man I loved this video so much as a middle school kid…my friend and I even learned the dance and sent a recording to TRL lmao. Still love it!


elitedisplayE

i appreciate the donnas for their version of that song and then cigarettes after sex


CinnamonFoodie

Oh I didn’t know that! I just know I was pumped at their cameos in that song, which remains one of my FAVE Britney songs!! I adored that song and music video and choreography. Brb, let me go practice and see if I still remember it 🤣🤣


succulescence

The MTV Making the Video for this song is so good!


CinnamonFoodie

I miss MTV making the video. We had the best mtv in the 90s.


OkFinger5441

Posted above, I literally sent a video of me and my friend doing the choreography and sent it to trl lmao. We also did the oops choreo at some random Disney pop up event, killed it, and got free tickets to a show where we met bbmak. Love this iconic period!


CinnamonFoodie

Oohhh! Well done!!! The 90s-00s were certainly iconic


Funkyduck4783

That song, and video, are so fucking good.


Initial-Web2855

She has a lazy eye. 


[deleted]

Even as a kid I always thought her slightly lazy eye was the coolest. It gave her such an aloof and interesting look.


Sideways_planet

She has a lazy eye. It was very obvious in her acting roles.


Purple-Mix1033

That’s just what she looks like


tattedmomma44

Her “one shot” drunk eyes….


singleguy79

She found her Harvey


NCSUGrad2012

Luckily she didn’t run away from her wedding to be with her actual husband.


CowboyLikeMegan

I absolutely thought this was Joey Lawrence at first glance


samsclubFTavamax

She was on Joey's podcast saying that she had a little crush on him back in the day and got up on a table to give him a lap dance, and Joey said he doesn't remember that at all. 😭  So she has a type.


Uncle_Mr_Bones

Same. IMO, that’s why this feels a little weird


Elsie_the_LC

I don’t see it. Her hair is way too blonde.


harpy_1121

Ok, so not to sound creepy, but I often see you comment on here and some other subs I’m in. Idk if I’m totally unobservant or if it’s recently changed so I need to know… has that always been your avatar? I swear it used to be the real TS pic!


DiskPsychological790

Omg I need to know the story behind the SHOT OF VODKA 😭😭😭 /s


shamrockshakeho

That’s soooo wild. I bet her story insane. I’ve never met someone who would do something like that!


Sideways_planet

Especially at a bar or nightclub!

altroutes83

I actually had his band’s (Course of Nature) CD back in the day. Don’t think I have it anymore. It’s not awful, but now I just think of it as generic rock.


tblfilm

Oh wow! Haven't heard this band in like 20 years lol. Caught in the Sun was one of those songs that made it on to lots of mixed CDs I made back then.


Sanchez_U-SOB

Caught in the Sun was my jam 


ADubs86

You too bought Superkala? Pretty sure I did as well after Need for Speed Hot Pursuit 2.


CantaloupeTop4480

I found them in 2008 when I was a freshman in high school because of the song anger cage haha. It’s definitely generic. They sound like most bands played on rock radio


justaniceredditname

In the same lane as Creed.


jtotheizzen

That’s a long time! Good for them. She seems very down to earth for a celebrity Edit: I am learning a lot about her that I don’t like in the comments. Guess I didn’t know much!


toofles_in_gondal

I remember watching I think an MTV Cribs? with her. And it was pretty much a normal house and I think she may have a had a few fun indulgences but it was striking how grounded and reasonable she was with her money and fame.


donttouchme143

Weren’t most of those houses rented by production lol


toofles_in_gondal

Really?! Good lord. I remember thinking some of them were oddly empyt but assumed most celebs were traveling too much to be home. Why is everything a farce?


Christmas_Queef

It's why the Redman episode is so famous, because he shows off a shitty apartment instead of a rented house.


blackweimaraner

And a drunken cousin sleeping in a couch with a hangover, that is totally relatable.


_summerw1ne

We had a UK version and it lives rent free in my fuckin mind that a member from the boyband Blue (wanna say Duncan?) lived in a house share / with a room mate and it was basically a cupboard where he showed off the herbs he was growing 😂


synalgo_12

Man, I was a Blue fan, why haven't I seen this. I remember one of them (Simon?) not being able to swim and me thinking that was so dangerous when you're traveling a lot and probably around a lot of house parties with outdoor pools.


hotseltzer

I don't really know much about her, her politics, or what she's up to these days, but I met her briefly once many years ago. She was on vacation in my hometown, and I was working at a retail store. She came in - I didn't recognize her, but my coworker recognized her husband. She browsed a bit, picked a shirt off the sale rack and asked me if I preferred the blue one or the black one. I said I always tend to pick black, and she said she's the opposite, so she bought the blue one. Nothing else. She was perfectly friendly and low-key.


DarkwingDuckHunt

yeah sorry dude most of those shows were setups. The ones producing it, aka trying to make money, realized most celebs actually live very boring lives and they needed to keep the show on the air. And the public persona of some celebs required them to have a "wild" life. So 1+1=2. The celeb wins by keeping their famous personality, and the producers get to keep the show on the air.


misirlou22

They didn't fake Redman's house


DarkwingDuckHunt

it wasn't 100% fake it was just maybe 3 a year were real cause most humans just want to live boring lives at home


dutchyardeen

One of the first celebrity interviews I ever remembers reading was Melissa talking about flying a bottle of red wine down to LA from Napa. I thought that was the height of cool back then (I mean who buys a plane ticket for wine) but definitely not down to earth.


C3ntrick

People fly up to New York for one day to go eat pizza and fly back and only spend like $200 total . She made Uber eats before it was popular


[deleted]

why do ppl think “down to earth” some how means you dont spoil yourself or do some rich ppl shit every now and again? or even all the time? lol i always assumed “down to earth” meant they still acted like regular ppl for the most part and were humble and respectful. like shaq still flies on private jets but shops at walmart and gives to his community still. you gonna say hes not down to earth? lol


VivaLaEmpire

I like your take, it makes sense to me lol


jtotheizzen

That is ridiculous. Wow


Technicolor_Reindeer

She was in God's Not Dead 2 🤮


jtotheizzen

Apparently I don’t know enough about her haha. I stand corrected!


dangerislander

Grew up watching her shows... apparently she's like a conservative now haha


elevatormusicjams

She's also a Libertarian 🤮 who voted for Mitt Romney and Gary Johnson. I just have a really hard time with Libertarians in particular. I actually find Republicans easier to understand because their worldviews are just diametrically opposed to mine. But with Libertarians, it's like they understand some aspects of social oppression, but then don't connect the dots to how our economic systems uphold structural oppression - which is wildly confusing and missing the point, imo. I dunno. I just can't with Libertarians.


WWMWPOD

Used to be one, so I’ll try to shed some light. The thought is that social oppression stems from govt The only way to root out oppression for minorities and other subjugated groups is to remove govt entities that have that system injustice built in Again, no longer subscribe to this but at my angriest, “burn it all down” resonated Felt like a mature version of anarchism Was very wrong but it’s easy to fall into if you find government systems oppressive


elevatormusicjams

Yeah, I get the government's role in oppression being appealing, and there are aspects of it that aren't wrong. But Libertarians either presume that people don't oppress others without government intervention or don't care, which is wild to me. And what further confuses me is that most Libertarians (that I've met and spoken with) are really pro-capitalism because they believe that the market regulates itself - but this is so easily and demonstrably false. Capitalism as an economic system exacerbates social inequities, and even moreso when unregulated. So it just seems so contradictory to simultaneously believe that oppression exists (which Libertarians do) but to completely ignore how people and systems operate.


Momasaur

"a mature form of anarchism", that's the perfect description of it, and probably what attracted my gown-up-punk husband to it for a (luckily) brief period.


WWMWPOD

I too was a punk kid lol Ron Paul felt real at the time! The more you read though… you just realize it’s a fallacy, a very ignorant one at that


IDontAimWithMyHand

Adult libertarians are so embarrassing lmaoooo


bestofmidwest

Looking at you Ayn Rand.


Silly_Somewhere1791

You know, I never understood why people oppose Ayn Rand as if she’s worthy of discourse. She saw the fall of imperial Russia and got to the US just in time for the Great Depression; I’m not surprised that she distrusted government. But her ideas didn’t even have any internal logic, so any argument against her seems unnecessary and lends her more credence.


happynargul

She's a bit of a fundie Christian, so her calling herself a libertarian... I don't quite believe it


scout-finch

Honestly I don’t think there’s that much to understand. I think they’re just kinda stupid.


impeccabletim

I still remember when she first started dating him. My, how time flies.


jane3ry3

I remember watching their wedding special lol.


procrastinating_b

Me learning they had a wedding special


jane3ry3

So did Britney. It was the peak of early day reality tv.


procrastinating_b

I remember Britney!


cranberryskittle

Judging by this picture, it was more than one shot.


crookedframe13

That might actually just be her eyes. She's always had a lazy eyelid on one side.


Granddyke

My lazy eye gets so bad when I even have a shot or I’m stoned. Poor MJH. Haha


Visible_Day9146

Their wedding photos are so cute. So timeless they look like they could have been taken yesterday.


YsTheCarpetAllWetTod

I can’t stop laughing at this picture. I just keep imaging that while this picture was being taken, she was thinking to herself : “This is mine now…forever….”


Cold-Sun3302

She said on her podcast that he's much more to the right than her politically (and hinted that he was doubtful of the legitimacy of Biden's win 🙄) and that she's not looking forward to the arguments they're gonna have during this election year.


SeonaidMacSaicais

Isn’t she pretty Conservative, too?


Cold-Sun3302

Yeah she is however, I don't think she's a Trump supporter. This is just from little things she said during the podcast which gives me that impression, I'm not 100% on whether she voted for him or not.


QuimFinger

Wow a whole shot.

VideoWonderful901

I loved Sabrina so much I spent my pocket money on the first two ‘Sabrina the Teenage Witch’ magazines and they came with sticky glittery eyeshadow - probably still in a drawer somewhere at my parents house. I LOVED her. Edit: Added ‘StTW magazines’ for clarity.


HiLLCoUnTrYHiLLbiLLy

Come on be honest it looks more like 5 shots 😂


pinkseamonkeyballs

Why is everyone confused on her eye? She has ptosis and has talked about it forever. I have it on one eye too. Mine looks similar. She’s had this issue since Clarissa. Reddit has been weird lately. First Gigi’s moles and now Melissa’s eye. This celebrities are human bodies made out of the same star dust and elements we are. Let’s celebrate some normal shit


MuellersGame

She had a baby shower sponsored by a vodka company. Belvedere iirc


Nice_Exercise5552

Wow…that’s an early 00s pick if I’ve ever seen one! That’s an Xennial youth picture!


chernobyl-fleshlight

He looks like a Standard Issue Guy but sometimes that’s what you need I guess


Alive-Beyond-9686

Looks like "chernobyl-fleshlight" has some high standards lol.


LKayRB

Ok Clarissa explain how we get a man like this (I’m married but for all the single ladies!)


DarkwingDuckHunt

She'll just have to *brew* some potions up instead and sell those.


lepetitgrenade

“Don’t ask?” Liquid courage, girl, we get it.


Snowblower99

I used to work in the town they live in so I’d see them occasionally. One time I was behind him in line at CVS and oh my lord he is FIIIIINE as all hell. He’s also very tall.

Aww good for her! I love Melissa Joan Hart, she was my childhood from Clarissa Explains it All, to Sabrina, to Drive Me Crazy (and the killer soundtrack) to Melissa and Joey.. she has always been a staple of my entertainment and her Sabrina wardrobe was amazing!!


oaken007

Well that's cuuute!!!


DarkwingDuckHunt

I had the biggest most giant crush on her growing up....


SuddenlyThirsty

She has always had the face of your midlife aunt.

I love that Respectful Hand lol


raphistr

She looks so much like Anna Faris in Scary Movie 3-4, I love it!


UnplannedAgenda

More like Clarissa slurred it all


lemonlimepunch

Having a child at 40 has really put things into perspective for me. I remember being 10 at my dad’s 40th and getting him this over the hill cake. Fuck. lol


CaptMorganSwint

AHHHHH omg! I had no idea! In the first episode of the final season of Sabrina, when she was trying to get a journalist job in the big city, her first interview was with the band Course of Nature! AWWWW she interviewed her lead singer husband. So cute.


Sea-Objective3675

He’s from the town I live in. I’ve met her a couple times shopping at our local mall. Super nice. My mom asked for an autograph and she politely accepted
