Who is also not with her current husband.
Interesting.

[Qwinn]

Yeah, no kidding.

You gotta wonder... we all know how much these people hold regular Americans in contempt... do you think they actually -are- trying to wear the ugliest dresses possible, imagining that Middle America is ooohing and aaaahing in appreciation, and laughing to themselves over it?

Eh. Nah. Far more likely that they really think they are good looking enough to pull those travesties off. *laugh*

Kelly Lynch looks like she is wearing a coffin lining.

LOLOLOL!!

[wardaddy]

The little girl with Depp was a sweet moment.

(yes...I'm watching...shhh...don't tell anyone please)

[mass55th]

"Michael Moore getting smushed. America's wet dream. "

If that wasn't a political comment, I don't know what is.

[BigWaveBetty]

Billy is EXCELLENT!

[BigWaveBetty]

Billy is EXCELLENT!

[Trinity_Tx]

Oh gag... forget what I said about the cut being ok if the color were right - that is truly a mess.

[rintense]

Sean Connery... *swoon*

[DoughtyOne]

[Alouette]

Patty Duke has been married to John Astin for how long? 37 years? That has to be some kind of record for Hollywood.

[Not A Snowbird]

They smashed Micheal Moore!

I liked that! Michael getting stepped on by a several ton creature was kind of... well... neat.

[Trinity_Tx]

LOL yes! Impossible not to love him.

[Petronski]

For the very very first time, we're being simulcast in Aramaic.

[DoughtyOne]

[mabelkitty]

Ditched the devoted mother of his children, I see.
I still think he and Nicole Kidman are an item.

[Unknown Freeper]

Eight minutes in. Four Passion references already.

[rintense]

Billy Crystal giving props to The Passion...

[Qwinn]

Please be kind to someone who isn't watching... what does "Michael Moore got smushed" mean? I know it can't be that literally, that would be far too much to hope for.

Enjoy an adult beverage and don't tell the wife.
