I've never looked at her ears. Daaaaaanng!

[mabelkitty]

Um, there's a story there, I belive.
Growing up believing she was his sister, then finding out she really was his mother and mom was actually granny.

[weegee]

She's also uncredited for her brilliant performance in the critically acclaimed "Dazed and Confused"

I think that was when she started to stand out to me (as in, hey it's that girl from the bar...). As I say, she did a lot of work in this state and made some decent movies.

[HairOfTheDog]

I feel a little bit bad for Master and Commander, but this is THE year for LoTR. Has to be.... We've been polite about the pass-over for the last two years!

[DoughtyOne]

[John H K]

Just because it was doesn't mean the studio will spend money to make it so :-)

[StriperSniper]

Sound about right, everything has surpassed estimates.

[shaggy eel]

,,, what you've posted there is a picture of Kiwifruit.

[KellyAdmirer]

I kept thinking of Ross Perot when I was looking at Garner. Some girls need big hair!

[weegee]

Peter Sellers tribute impersonations from Jim Carrey

[Recovering_Democrat]

[Lil'freeper]

Eeew- everyone's gotta be Robin Williams- even Billy Crystal is trying to be Robin Williams.

[FourPeas]

ROFL!

[don-o]

Have I mentioned that the attention to this cesspool celebration is indicative of a general tend of moral depravity that is sending this nation to hell in a handasket?

Did I already say that?

[RightthinkinAmerican]

She should be named "Budweiser" - cuz it don't get no better than that! Mamma mia!

[Diddle E. Squat]

Jim Carey, watch out for that shepherd's crook...

[Not A Snowbird]

Does Jim Carrey think he's funny?

[Trinity_Tx]

OMG I had missed that! You're right - OK, Uma goes on the worst list for sure... *shudder*

[hole_n_one]

lol!

[xp38]

Even though I'm not Jean Luc Picard...it will be made so.
