Joan Rivers is on the Red Carpet on another channel!...
..You have got to see her latest facelift....(tell me who she looks like now, and I'll tell you if you're right, LOL)
Babel will probably win more Oscars than it deserves. Movies that are very strange and not understood by the majority of people often do very well at the Oscars. I will be happy if Will Smith does end up winning an Oscar for Pursuit of Happiness, but I really don't see Forest Whitaker not getting an Oscar for his effort. They both did an excellent job in their roles. I'm hoping that the Departed does very well so that it also indirectly helps boost the sales of Howie Carr's book about the Boston Mafia: The Brothers Bulger! Good luck, and Cha-Ching!
I dont have cable so am locked into Network. I right now Barbara W is interviewing Ellen DeGeneres. I like the red carpet though.. wish I could see it
Ah for the days of Oscar when Bob Hope was the host and stars who loved AMERICA received the honors!!
Oh gee--Joan's had another facelift? I've got her on, but I've been busy posting I haven't looked at her.
The Departed was a great & intense movie. Will Smith did a great job in Pursuit. Babel is a layered movie... like many others that are hard to sort out with the multiple stories, all interwoven to a degree. Like I said it is a good movie.. not a warm fuzzy movie for sure.
The Queen does really look like a good movie.
Bump!
The Catwoman!....Right!...One facelift toooooooo many!
Will Smith on Joan's show with his little boy and wife. Little boy is a cutie.
I loved Bob Hope in about everything. He has to also be my favorite host.
Stay off the thallium. go to the "other" thread...
Did you see PUrsuit of Happiness? He played Will's son in the true story movie
can you do a screen cap of Joan?
It's very good--you won't be disappointed.
Jennifer Hudson (Idol 1st runner up) and star of Dream girls next to be interviewed by Barbara Walters. ABC
Did you know that the Director for United 93 did all that he could do to find actors and actresses that looked as close as possible to the people that they played and then had them meet in person with the surviving family members prior to making the film? It's shown in part as supplementary material on the DVD of the film.
