Prayers just sent heavenward, Teacup. You and your daughter (and Billy) have been in my thoughts and prayers all weekend. You know the Guild has been storming heaven with prayers, too!
What are they talking about? Angelina is young enough to be his daughter! She may be very upset, but what goes around comes around, honey. Angelina threw herself at Billy Bob when he was engaged to and living with Laura Dern, but while Laura was out of town doing a movie. Laura read in the paper or something that Billy Bob and Angelina had gotten married. He didn't even have the decency to call her and let her know!
It is a truth universally acknowledged that a President in a polo shirt must be in want for admiration.
And Billy Bob will move on to the next gal..
Sounds like it will grab a higher percentage of the gay audience than episodes of 'Will and Grace!'

ONE-time "Queen of Nice" Rosie O'Donnell turned mean at her first stand-up show in six years over the weekend, trashing Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, Anne Heche and Sharon Stone.
"I'm no longer a TV talk-show host," O'Donnell told thousands packed into a ballroom at the Mohegan Sun casino in Uncasville, Conn., Saturday night. "The bitch ain't so nice anymore." [But the bitch is is a wonderful mother, just ask her.]
Rosie, a die-hard Democrat, said she refused to speak to Clinton before he wailed on his sax Friday with Blues Brothers Dan Aykroyd and Jim Belushi's star-studded band in the casino's Wolf Den bar. "He disgusts me," Rosie told the crowd. "And I know I'm not supposed to say this because I'm a good Democrat, but I didn't want to [talk] to him because he lied to me when he said, 'I did not have sexual relations with that woman,' and then put the scarlet-letter b- - - job on her for the rest of her life . . . I still hate you!"
Rosie also raged at Michael Jackson, who creeped her out at Liza Minnelli's wedding to David Gest (which O'Donnell dubbed "the gayest thing since my last show"). "Michael Jackson wanted to speak to me, but I didn't because I don't speak to pedophiles," Rosie said. "He's a freak, and I don't mean that in a nice way . . . He's cream-colored and has no nasal passages whatsoever. He doesn't look human. Did he look into the mirror one day and say, 'Perfect?' "
.... O'Donnell's delectable diss-fest was the high point of the Mohegan Sun's glitzy $1 billion expansion, which featured concerts by Cyndi Lauper and Cher along with Clinton and the Blues Brothers Friday night, and Aretha Franklin and Ray Charles after Rosie's set on Saturday. Rosie dueted with Lauper on "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" and was front and center for Cher's show, while a sax-blowing Clinton, Steven Tyler, Wilson Pickett, Paul Shaffer and Peter Wolf joined the Blues Brothers onstage.
Afterward, a host of celebs hit the casino's Cabaret club for a 50th birthday bash for Aykroyd. Crowding around a "Conehead" cake were lovebirds John Cusack and Neve Campbell, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Roseanne Barr, Bill Murray, Chevy Chase, Jimmy Fallon, Chris Kattan, Lorne Michaels, Sen. Chris Dodd (D-Conn.) [Overheard shouting, "Waitress sandwich!! Let's party!!"] and Rebecca Romijn-Stamos.

I want to leave this thread up for now to keep all the links and info going. I have a bunch of errands to run this morning and won't be back til this afternoon and will check back then.
Praying my hardest for you Teacup.
The celebration started Friday with a visit from Clinton, looking slim in a pearl gray suit and raspberry-sherbet-colored tie, effusing his own brand of star power. He was being honored for having signed into law legislation that formally recognized the Mohegan Tribe of Uncasville.
Clinton later played saxophone in the Wolf Den with the Blues Brothers, who drove in on their Harley-Davidsons. The Clinton gig had been rumored all day, so the crowd was huge. Hartford Courant.
Hey, I know, let's invent our own Indian tribe. All here who were born in the U.S., raise your hands! Good, a whole lot of Native Americans. As soon as we decide on a nifty name, I say let's build a casino.

How about the Guildhicans.
Thank you all for helping bump the Bring Billy home thread. I hope the lead pans out. The LEO sounds like a tough one.
I'm going to be in and out of the house today running errands and carrying children here and there.
Have a good day, everyone!
Apparently, the Mohegans don't forget friends. We took note that Bill Clinton signed legislation in 1994 giving federal recognition to the Mohegan tribe. At first, we were told that Clinton got no appearance fee, which had us suppressing a guffaw. The source then told us that Clinton's nonprofit foundation, which is seeking funds for a presidential library, received about $250,000.
At the public opening on Friday night, Mark Brown, chairman of the Mohegan Tribal Council, gave Clinton a basket woven by Brown's mother, which the ex-prez said will be the first of the many Native American artifacts he will put in the recently renovated office at his New York farmhouse.
.... After the public portion of the evening, and before Clinton went to catch Cher and perform two songs with the new Blues Brothers (Dan Aykroyd and Jim Belushi) the Tribal Council threw Clinton a dinner at the Bamboo Forest restaurant. Boston Globe.
