LOL! I loved the music but haven’t bought the soundtrack. That’s a great idea though.

[Cyropaedia]

Hey, Tolstoy never won the Noble Prize for Literature.

[lainie]

Hey, that’s really neat!

[lainie]

Oh no, it’s you all that are fabulous. But thank you just the same. Let’s do it again soon! What’s coming up for awards? Oh, nothing. Probably Emmys next fall...if there are any shows that survive May sweeps. Ah well. Maybe Drudge will host a radio show sometime this spring. That’d be fun. Thanks so much for hanging out with me! It was great to chat with you again.

[Miss Behave]

You should, bd. I highly recomend it and will pay you for it should you not be glad you bought it. ;-)

I keep it in my car.

Now, would you like to see me do the Everett chicken dance?

Jessica Alba, with her babydaddy Cash Warren

People might remember his father, Michael Warren.. used to be on Hill Street Blues

[Cheapskate]

I haven’t heard jack! do you have any good Drudge News?

[lainie]

Mickey Rooney and his wife Jan

8th time's the charm?

(huh...born Joe Yule Jr., September 23, 1920. He'll be 88 this year.)

[lainie]

I wish.

[purpleraine]

I await your short description of her international filmography. The last method I would use to judge an actor is somebondy on the internet who isn’t familiar with the person’s films dismissing them out-of-hand.

[roses of sharon]

It’s cool! Had to watch a few times to catch everyone, my favorite was Natalee Wood. She was beautiful.

[lainie]

If I’m not mistaken, it started with Mary Pickford. She had a very interesting life. I noticed Natalie Wood, Judy Garland, Vivian Leigh.. lots of great old gals.

[lainie]

You can take the girl out of Vegas, but...

[Dave W]

Well, as they say a good movie you can watch with suspended disbelief. I think that is what happened.

[lainie]

For those who are interested, Hilary and her agent boyfriend John Campisi

[Cheapskate]

OMG!!!Didin’t stay in Vegas!!!!

[lainie]

Nicholson, dressed well. Probably with a flask in his pocket.

[johnthebaptistmoore]

BTW, “The Lives of Others” is finally being shown on a variety of Starz channels from now on.
