Did I mention how giddy I am that Martin Sheen aka chimpmunk with an Elvis do, DID NOT win... again? Hee haw!

Hi Betty, Hi HHL, got my first ping. I'm psyched.

Martin Sheen does not deserve an emmy though I know he goes to bed every night convinced he does.

He overacts that part which is based on a basically simple character. Though the character IS the president, he is written by somebody's notion of what a president should be and what no president has ever been.

NEW YORK — The former Miss Russia, Oxana Federova, has been stripped of her Miss Universe title less than four months into her reign because she refused to fulfill the obligations of the title.

"She's an unbelievable beauty, and an unbelievably spoiled bitch," said one insider. "She doesn't want to do anything."

The new Miss Universe, Justine Pasek of Panama, was the first-runner-up on May 29 in Puerto Rico when Federova was crowned.

Donald Trump, who owns the pageant, told the New York Post, "It's too bad it didn't work out better with Oxana, but our new Miss Universe is equally beautiful and she is a tremendous crowd-pleaser."

Federova is kept in the lap of luxury in Russia by a well-connected boyfriend who showers her with gifts. "He's taken care of her since she was 16," said a source.

Pageant officials were said to have been concerned that Federova might be secretly married to her boyfriend, which would be a violation of the Miss Universe rules.

"She's gained about 15 pounds and we think she might be pregnant," said one insider.

As Miss Universe, Federova was expected to travel extensively making personal appearances. But she allegedly refused a number of assignments, including the live, two-hour prime-time broadcast of the 2002 Miss Teen USA Competition on CBS.

A letter sent last week informed Federova she'd been canned. It read, in part, "Your continuing refusal to perform your duties as a Miss Universe titleholder has, and will, cost the Miss Universe Organization hundreds of thousands of dollars while gravely affecting our reputation."

Her successor, Pasek, said, "I will work to make this transition as easy as possible."

I would think that the powers that be would recognize that many folks enjoy these threads as generally a welcome break from our business as usual and even the stated purpose of FR.

It is impossible for normal people to do the same stuff all day and all night without soon becoming whack-jobs. As Mo1 thoughtfully linked over on FReeople - even the four hour erection may not be the best of things to have going on.

FR news thread should reflect America's news and interest of the hour, and for a select few nights of the year, The Guild does an excellent job doing just this.

No news thread - no peace

If someone would like to explain to me why Joan Allen, a fabulous actress near fifty, would wear mermaid hair and go braless, please feel free.

Um...because she looks fabulous?

I don't know if you get Dr Phil or are watching, but it's about Mothers who don't want to be moms. Is this a growing trend?

The first woman hated her kids because she never wanted them in the first place but her mother made her keep them, so she treats them like garbage, calls them names, and tells them that they aren't wanted.

The second woman resents her children because she wants to work and her kids need her at home.

Third woman hates her kids because when her mother was dying, she would have to come back to her family and she feels that they took up too much of her time. Her kids are toddlers.

Aaron Sorkin's idea of Prez who must be someone who is a history trivia whiz. It's so freakin' annoying, every minute almost with the stupid, "Do you know what *place any obscure name in history you like here* did..."

Aaron Sorkin is a very one dimensional dude.

I'll be back later, I'm getting thrown off the computer by the guitar teacher! bbl!

Ha Ha Ha. I'm watching CNN Inside Politics and they've just released their latest poll data.

Ta Daaaaa! More Americans (52%) now rate the War with Iraq as the number one issue in this fall's elections as opposed to those who said it would be The Economy (47%)!

That's a 15 pt. swing in just two weeks. Way to go, Mr. President!

Does anyone wonder why today's children seem to have no concept of right or wrong, why they engage in self-destructive, immoral behaviors or why they seem to feel no loyalty or sense of obligation to anyone or anything? The so-called mothers you describe may be a factor.

Beautiful pictures! Remember when Sharon Stone wore the Gap T-shirt to the Oscars and everybody went ga-ga? The fashion people went crazy over this $12 dollar shirt, how did she pull it off, she looks so great!

The real thing that made people stare was the fact that she's glamorous, even in a $12 shirt. Dumb as a box of rocks, but glamorous.

I think these women who are complaining about their kids need to get a Big Damn Grip! They need to leave their pity parties and start thinking how GOOD their lives are compared to most folks around the world! I'm sure it won't happen, though, there are so many folks to want to enable the 'bitch and moaners' in our society.

Martin Sheen? As in Martin "The President is a white-knuckled drunk" Sheen? Was he thinking of himself when he made that comment a while back?

Aw, so sorry he missed out again.

Love your little violin guy! May I use him? Please please?!

I can't figure it out. Why everybody else wins with that show except Sheen. He must have stepped on many toes somewhere.

In an interview he did he went on about how Janey lets him borrow hers once a week. I hope he didn't pay someone to write that stupid line.

Oh, the violin guy's not mine, and I'm sure you'd be welcome to it by rintense. She has a lot of those little creatures filed away somewhere.
