Cybill Shepard arrived to tape a British chat show -- as I gather they are called, thanks to my extensive reading of Brit Lit -- looking like she was auditioning for the role of Red Riding Hood in a Christmas pantomime. If Red Riding Hood were, say, extremely weather-beaten from her trip to Grandmother's house. Regardez:
When questioned, Ms. Shepherd, who, according to this account had already been in London for two entire days, claimed she had "jet lag hair," and took off her hood.
To reveal -- cover the eyes of any minors in the room, please!
Apparently she rode over on the wing of the plane.
I had that little number on order in blue. If you think it is a tad bit over the top I will cancel the order and seek out something a bit more demure.

The H.J. Heinz Co. has announced its "Say Something Ketchuppy II" contest:
Sometimes our label gets tired of saying "Tomato Ketchup" all of the time. We received a huge response from our first talking label contest, and now our ketchup is begging for more of your ideas. So make a joke about french fries or have some fun at the expense of mustard. Once again it is time to send your funny phrase (8 words or less, please) and the best ones will be featured on our front label in stores across the country.
Earlier winners include "Easier to spell than Worcestershire" and "Seeking employment in your kitchen." But we got to thinking: Why not a slogan that pays homage to Teresa Heinz Kerry, the outspoken ketchup heiress and philanthropist?
"Shove it onto your plate" has possibilities, and "Don't let your food go naked" is promising. But the one we like best is "The perfect match for a weenie." Link :-)
How about "If you don't buy this ketchup, you're an idiot"?
Thank goodness.

In other news of the completely out of touch:
Barbara Walters had words of comfort Wednesday night for Dan Rather and Martha Stewart - two wounded souls who attended ABC News' tribute to Walters' career. "My wonderful colleague Dan Rather," Walters said to acknowledge the presence of the embattled CBS anchor on the second floor of the "Good Morning America" set, where ABC News President David Westin summoned an A-list crowd to celebrate Walters' life and times. "Know that you have the support of all of us here for your superb career."
As the audience applauded - including CBS network chairman and Viacom Co-president Leslie Moonves and CBS News President Andrew Heyward - Rather's eyes appeared to well up. "He looked pretty choked up," one witness told me. ... link to story
A final dose of the strange and sleazy:
Jim McGreevey's peeps deny it, but we hear the New Jersey gov has not ruled out running for political office of some kind in the future ....
What top-ranking Republican official has been begging his allies in the conservative press to ignore rumors about about his reputed mistress. So far they've agreed .... source
re:republican mistress - oh god, who? And if the conservative press knows, why doesn't the MSM?
There's Nat'l Enq story on Ol Crusty and Webb's love child re:wedding horrors.
I can't help but wonder who constitutes this alleged "conservative press." And since when would the other 99 percent of the press - the liberal press - not report on something harmful to a highranking Republican? Sounds fishy.
Is that the story where Chels told Slick she and Ian were going to have a baby "right away" and this put a smile on Slick's face and enabled him to endure his heart surgery...
I don't know - I just saw it on the main FR thread. (the headline) - it seems to have something about a fight over whether Chels should invite Webb to the wedding.
