as she dragged her agent on stage and warned him "next time read the script first."

... as, apparently, Ms. Berry is either too illiterate or too uncaring to take care of such trivial, mundane little matters herself.

Pathetic.

It's called playing along with the joke. Notice it did not read "former" agent.

Jeez people, lighten up!

Maureen Dowd and the Washington Compost would like to think that those heels were Condi's in Europe.

excellent!!!

Can Condi wear her hair like that the next time she meets with foreign leaders? Or would that be too "unprofessional"?

Some people I think are either physically or chemically unable to 'lighten up'. ;~D

He seems to be inordinately fond of his Muslim father who abandoned him when he was two.

I'm not so sure how genuinely he feels for his father.

One of the things the press never reported was a crack he made about his father, and goats, it was a nasty referance to him being a sheep herder.

Every time her "accent" changes in X-Men, take a shot.

I don't know if you know this, but she is half deaf, with no hearing in one ear.

I'm not sure why, but supposedly it has affected the way she talks sometimes.

Let me file that under, "doesn't freakin' matter". In X-Men, she has an African accent in most of her scenes, and an American accent in others. According to the director, she simply forgot to do it in pickups.

In X-Men 2, she intentionally decided not to do the accent at all.

That ain;t a handicap, it's laxiness. She never wanted to do those films, therefore she didn;t care about her performance. Period.

Why isn't she happy? She gets paid tons of money just for looking good, something God simply blessed her with.

Funny, in a couple of interviews, I saw her trying to talk up a storm spinoff movie.

Ironically, it looks like her idea went the other way, with a probably wolverine spin off.

Regarding the accent, the director was there, he should have simply either dropped it, or had her do it the whole movie through. He is paid to direct, Singer isn't exactly new, and Berry isn't known for being a pain.

She has already stated enthusiasm for doing another x-men movie.

Before X-Men was released, she did an interview where she was bemoaning the lack of good roles for black actresses in film today. She said that she was reduced to playing a comic book character just to keep working.

I'll find the link if you want me to, but suffice it to say the fan base was mightily pissed off at the time.

I thought Cosby also showed up to collect an award. (I think it was either for Leonard Pt 6 or Ghost Dad.) Or did he just demand to receive it?

Drew Barrymore went up in my estimation when she reportedly said "If I ever refer to acting as "my craft" somebody please shoot me."
