Owen is such a doll. Just love the way he talks. : )

[HairOfTheDog]

Why didn't Joan ask him if he got like, really confused confused doing three films at once?

[Maigrey]

Michael is looking like his father more and more every day.

[ainsley]

Major catfight action..both Catherine Zeta and the Iranian lady in red

Catherine has been losing all of the good roles to Nicole Kidman and wants to establish herself back on top

[Little Bill]

I am glad, he will know what I mean, and won't admit it.

[rosyposy]

oh yeah!!!

[mass55th]

Eat your heart out Maureen Dowd!!

[HairOfTheDog]

Liv looks lovely.

[GulfWar1Vet]

Man, that movie "Starsky and Hutch" is really sad. They just ruined the television series I remember watching in the 70's. :(

[Petronski]

Man, that's harsh. She should be teaching in a one-room schoolhouse out on the frontier somewhere.

Hallmark Theatre presents: "Daryn, Plain and Tall"

Jack Black is about as funny as a tootache. Look for him to do something stupid when he presents.

[Trinity_Tx]

Liv Looks Stunning, doesn't she?

Pure class.

So far, I'd say she wins the best taste award.

[wardaddy]

Yep, she has sure shed the ugly duckling thing nicely. Word is here in Nashville is that she is genuinely a very decent gal.

[Maigrey]

Drink Count: 13! and counting.

[Lil'freeper]

Both curve-y, both gorgeous. Nichole is in some bizzare gray thing... NOT flattering at all- but at least it doesn't looke like a bunch of shiney fish-scale stickers stuck all over her.
