I don't recall who is going to replace him as Dumbledore.

Michael Gambon, who is a wonderful actor. He played John Harrison in "Longitude" and the father of the man with whom Cate Blanchett fell in love in Charlotte Gray. He'll be a great Dumbledore!

[AnnaZ]

Thanks! (Too many old Brit starring-in-big-opening-sequels-actors, too little time.)

[Lil'freeper]

And he kicked some guy out of his chair just so he could cozy up to Renee and Nichole. Amateur.

[Maigrey]

Hobbit alert!

[Petronski]

You'll never find out *GRINNING*

Drat.

I'm wearing mine right now.

[mewzilla]

Keep your eyes peeled for her. Harden's in a lapis blue gown that she looks lovely in.

[DoughtyOne]

[BigWaveBetty]

Ha! Julia Roberts is an ugly blond.

[Lil'freeper]

You know, that Rouching thing was very popular as a WINDOW TREATMENT not too many years ago... (tho it is a good way to conceal tummies if well placed)

[cyborg]

*LOL*

[Political Junkie Too]

I'm rooting for The Great Ziegfeld.

Yeah, but do you think Hollywood would go for all those scantily clad women kicking their legs out like that?

[LisaMalia]

Apparently, it's not enough for you that Sean has stated publicly that another man is his biological father, he's lying, you say, and he named that other man as a giant cover-up.

I'll say this, and then I'll be done with it. I lived during those times. Patty Duke, Sean's mom was SMEARED by the media, ala Lucille Ball. Not sure why.

Maybe one of the reasons was that Lucy was so into his "romance" with Liza Minelli (and the Judy Garland legacy) at the time, and she had the media on her side. She made sure Patty virtually had a Scarlet A tattooed on her chest. During all of this time, Patty was very adamant that Desi was Sean's father, and that she had not been with another man during this time.

I've never seen proof to dispute it.

[Qwinn]

Dear God! She looks like a blue torso balanced on two waterspouts...

This isn't an awards ceremony, this is a freak show.

[Diddle E. Squat]

Is that from the Poodle collection?

[mewzilla]

Oh, Jeez. What was Lynch thinking. Bjork eat your heart out.

[NYC GOP Chick]

Yep, it provides some good schadenfreude moments for us, doesn't it? ;)

[BigWaveBetty]

Gorgeous!

[NYC GOP Chick]

I haven't seen her yet. Any Bjork sightings?! ;D
