I get (and certainly appreciate) the CZJ reference, but despite how much this forum has traditionally mocked MoDo, she’s been writing some fairly factual, informative columns lately. I wonder what’s come over her?

Perhaps her meds have finally kicked in:

Mike Douglas, Catherine Zeta-Jone’s husband, should own the website www. luckybastard.com

LOL. I almost fell out of my chair.

Your post begs for a Captain Obvious pic too.

Fair is fair.

And whatever you do, don't do a Google image search on "bibi" without a kid-safe filter enabled!

MoDo used to date Michael Douglas, who threw her over for CZJ.
