The tv show, Mission Impossible, was far better than any of these crappy movies.

$200 million is no small investment, no matter who the star is I guess.

Ain't that the truth. I think, in this day and age that the MI group would be called an "ensemble" cast.

I was living in Bangkok at the time this was on tv. We could get the picture, but the audio would be on the radio and everytime they cut for a commercial, they would forget to put Mission Impossible back on the radio. I had the phone number handy and trust me, they got an earful.

Yeah, she lives in LA (Brentwood, I believe, to be precise).

So yeah, she's show biz. Or a wannabe at least.

She needs to do some stories about how she drove her husband into homosexuality.

I thought ZsaZsa's website was supposed to be some big political mover and shaker site. It sounds more like a gossip-rag, in my opinion.

All we have to do is to listen to her, and we have all the information you need to know.

Oprah literally looks as if she is fighting off a rapist.

He's probably marrying Katie Holmes to save his own career.

Oprah's appearance.....

I'll bet that he is "acting out" exactly what he does in those Scientology sessions that he has reached such a high level in.
