"I think Jamie Lee's dress makes her look heavy and matronly."

I liked her in Freaky Friday, but she looked matronly in that flick too. But that happens to all of us.

[Maigrey]

Now that is what I call color!

[Johnny_Cipher]

Wow. Does she wear Hanes or Garanimals under that gown?

[ainsley]

What on earth does Melissa Rivers have on her train? It looks a lot better on TV

[LisaMalia]

Where's Susan???????? hmmmmm, interesting!

[e_engineer]

LOL, good one! :^)

[hole_n_one]

[lainie]

She is. Gorgeous. At one of the recent shows, maybe golden globes, I had to admit..she is beautiful and knows exactly how to capitalize on her looks with the right haircut & everything.

Oh isn't that special, Tim "There's a Chill Wind" Robbins came in a hybrid. He also just called Susan "my wife?"

[Lil'freeper]

She has an exquisite voice- sang on the "Cold Mtn" soundtrack this time around.

[BigWaveBetty]

Tim Robbins just called Susan his wife. Huh?!

Singer Alison Krauss wears $2 million dollar shoes, made out of Kwait diamonds and designed by Stuart Weitzman, as she arrives for the 76th Academy Awards (news - web sites) in Hollywood, February 29, 2004. Krauss will perform with Sting during the show. REUTERS/Mike Blake

[TomB]

She has the same look that my cat does when she's looking for attention, walking around with her tail up in the air:

"sniff my butt somebody, for God's sake, SNIFF MY BUTT!"

[Little Bill]

Only if you are my age OLD.

[lainie]

Yeah, I guess so. It just looks like she's fighting it, or something?

[CaptainK]

O/T
I laugh everytime I read your Freeper name.

"Wonder who Vera Wang's wearing? "

Wun Hung Low

[PeteFromMontana]

I Love the Oscars!

[satchmodog9]

that tool Tim Robbins just had his kid plug the Prius telling everyone how fuel efficiant it is. Hopefully that is all the pud has to say tonight.

[GOP_Proud]

< I saw it today. I'm still processing my own response. >

I have been searching for words to describe my feelings after seeing it (the Passion) on Friday night. Thank you for expressing what I have not been able.

I'm "proceessing" it too. From the eerie silence in the theatre, quite a few people were "processing". I was, and am still, overwhelmed.

[ainsley]

Vera, are you wearing yourself tonight? (so gauche to ask. but I would do it ,lol )

[Trinity_Tx]

LOL!!!
