[Dog]

Thank you...:-)

[HarryCaul]

Very impressive...dress.

Heh. The photogrpaher must have laughed himself silly.

[lainie]

same dress

[Diddle E. Squat]

Yeah, but with all those Y chromosome rumors...

[arasina]

Enough for all!

[Maigrey]

She seems like a real sweet young lady. Let's hope all the corruption doesn't ruin her.

[woofie]

Joan Rivers is drunk...

Im drunk too..... no Oscar for me this year either...

[arasina]

Those are bazongas, Dog. LOL!

[Prodigal Son]

Keeping in mind, we're talking about a people who elected Bill Clinton twice, who admire Hillary the most of all American females and where queers are getting married in San Fran even though it's against the law- and nothing can be done about it.

Sure, it might not be a broken toy, but it's hurting.

Gays can't even get married in France. That should tell you something.

[AnnaZ]

Love Buscemi... don't know why I missed Ghost World. I'll rent it and let you know what I think.

[Maigrey]

I would comment, but it wouldn't be too nice. 8-p

[lainie]

Nah. To me it wasn't really an apology, it was "uhoh, I have a big movie coming out and it looks bad that I'm saying this stuff while living in France." Plus I think he looks skanky. :)

re: posts 197 and 203,

Don't ask her if those are real

[mass55th]

"She seems like a real sweet young lady. Let's hope all the corruption doesn't ruin her."

Similar thoughts were going through my mind as I was listening to her.

[HairOfTheDog]

The Joan drink count is now at 5

But I expect she is downin' another in this commercial break.

[woofie]

What are those things in that dress?

[Maigrey]

Some of us think she is up to 5 drinks now.

[LisaMalia]

, turn the damn tube off and enjoy a quiet hour or two with you family.

Well, my kids grown and gone, I'm divorced...so it's just me, my computer and my tv.

I plan to spend the evening watching Mel Gibson and reading and enjoying the witty posts on this thread from my fellow FReepers.

[Prodigal Son]

Hey, he apologized. Has Penn apologized for going to Iraq?

Depp's comments didn't bother me. I say it now. I said it then when his comments were hotly debated on this forum.

[BigWaveBetty]

Anyone else notice there is not one black nominee this year?

Hollyweird has already done it's quota for this decade with Denzel Washington and Halle Berry, both in the same year, both won. Now the Hollyweird elite won't have to fret over it for a few more years.
