I knew I was reminded of something...

After six months of dating 33-year-old entrepreneur Brooks Perlin, Katie Couric, 50, isn't worried about the younger-man thing, PEOPLE reports in its latest issue.
"The age difference scared her off at first," says a friend of the CBS Evening News anchor, who agreed to have dinner with Perlin a few weeks after chatting with him at a Manhattan cancer fund-raiser in September.
Since that first date, the pair have shared nights out at Manhattan's Gramercy Hotel's Rose Bar and the "21" Club, attended the Super Bowl in Miami and gone skiing in Sun Valley, where they stayed at the home of casino mogul Steve Wynn.
"Perlin is a nice guy," says Couric's friend. "He's extremely smart. He's honest. He doesn't play games. He's sweet. Normal. Really grounded. It's a drama-free relationship."
Adds the pal: "They do the same things any new couple would do. They sometimes stay in and watch movies. They go on trips. ... They spend a lot of time together, considering how busy they both are."

"They seem comfortable with each other," says her friend. "She's a very young 50. She's playful. She's cute. She's down-to-earth. And he's mature. They seem happy."

I knew I was reminded of something...
If one resembles Rob Schneider, one takes what one can get.
I am not trashing Perky here (what is left to say?), rather it is People magazine who whips this stuff up for the public consumption and it is all a pack of lies. People sanitizes gossip and garbage, and then makes millions for themselves and the celeb de jour. Bennifer, Brangelina, Britney. It reminds me of the drug companies who love to use X and Z in their drug names because it sounds very intelligent and serious.
People magazine paid Super Skank, Angelina Jolie, 4 million dollars for her bastard baby pics. She turned around and gave a local clinic in Namibia 300 thousand. Then she put the rest in her pocket, and People did weeks of publicity on how Angie baby singlehandedly is saving Africa. How much did she get for the completely obscene photos of the little Vietnamese boy who was wisked out of that country not knowing any of those people (one afternoon photo op by a pool) and not knowing a single word of English? HEY EVERYBODY ISN’T SHE GREAT??? Idiots who buy that BS think so. The next time you see a People or Star magazine at a checkout, ask yourself, “Gee, I wonder what is wrong with the young girls today?” They are being told that dirty filthy whores are soooo kewl. By People magazine.
That was both cruel and repulsive. How about a warning in the thread title next time?
If you liked the Dark Crystal then you’ll probably appreciate the fact that there is a sequel due out next year:

I always wondered why there wasn’t a sequel to it years ago. I know it wasn’t a great success, but it has such a cult following. I think after Lord of the Rings, Gelflings will be as easily accepted as Elfs, Orcs, Dwarves, etc.
What’s that on his head?
Well he did say she’s ‘playful’.
Hey — fifty doesn’t sound old to me!
Nawwww, Rob is at least cute. This one is dumb and looks it.
Hell,I learned a lot from my Grandma but I never....
Ohhh, a toy-boy. Good for her.
My children are adults now, but Dark Crystal is one of those films that they know by heart and that I had to buy repeatedly because they wore it out. A sequel will be a good thing :-)
