"I just like to b---h. I'm the kind of person, you invite me on a private jet, and I'm not thankful. I go, "How do they not have a cappuccino maker [on board]?"
Please remind me to NEVER invite Leah Remini on my private jet. Or my private car for that matter. She sounds like a dreadful person.
What, exactly, does Brooke Shields want Congress to do for mom suffering from post-partum depression?
..."During one rainy day of filming, (Cruise) introduced the talking and singing 1-year-old - who appeared "just as happy as could be" - to the cast and crew, telling her to say hi, which she did, a source says. After everyone oohed-and-ahhed over Suri, she waved "bye-bye" to the group as the trio left.
Says the source, "They all truly could not have looked happier. ... They were just like any other family in the South." ...
I live in the South, but I didn't realize saying "bye bye" and looking happy was a 'Southern' thing. Who ARE these sources and why do they say such stupid things? And why do 'journalists' lap it up?

I hope JK Rowling does not write and eighth book. After all, after killing Voldemort, I don't see how a story of Harry Potter settling down, or even becoming an auror, would measure up. A good rule of thumb is to simply quit writing the books when the story is done, because all future books will cheapen the original. (Case in point in a different medium: Kevin Smith's decision to make "Clerks 2," which is admittedly a worse transgression because it followed "Jersey Girl" bombing, so it smacks of desperation, whereas the seventh "Harry Potter" book is sure to be a hit.)
I must admit, though, that I am intrigued by the idea of an encyclopedia rather than an eighth narrative. This is something that she did for Comic Relief UK a few years ago with books about Quidditch and different animals in the witchcraft world. If it is something that enhances the understanding of the seven books, that would be something different, but whatever it is, I don't want to see Harry Potter in his 20's or 30's. Let the story end when it is supposed to.

AHHH! ^How could you give the ending away! Haha I've never read the books, just waiting for the movies. Now I have nothing to look forward to at Hogwarts.

I thought she was acting on the "King of Queens", but no, Leah Remini really is a bitter cow
I wonder how long her marriage will last now that she unemployed. Who wants to be married to an unemployed bitter cow?

This is sort of sad, from the link about LL and Calum Best
..."Best's spokesperson Dave Read told The Sun: "Calum and Lindsay get on really well together. But this is Calum. We'll have to see."...
If not even his spokesperson has anything positive to say about Best's ability to be in a 'long term' relationship (say, 3months) what does the future hold for poor Lindsay? I fear her heart will be broken. *sniff* )sniff*

Love Ewan. Wish I could see the play!!

O.J. won't sue the restaurant; he has, however, begun to write and market to publishers his book, "If I Did It: How I Would've Sued That S.O.B. of a Restaurant Owner".

Poor Katie. Didn't her mommy ever tell her you can't buy friends?
She reminds me of that kid that always wanted to give you their lunch or buy you ice cream so you'd sit w/them in the cafeteria.
Kinda sad.

Heck with Ewan - Chewetel Ejiofor as Othello has me drooling.

I hate Leah Remini. She is the worst.
Posted by: Irish girl | May 14, 2007 11:27 AM
Did anyone else look at those pictures of Lindsey L., kissing that guy? She looks like she is either trying to eat his tongue or suck out his soul a la Dementors of Azkaban, and he is clearly trying to escape but is unsuccessful. Ugh, not appropriate for viewing by ANYONE.

This is what I love about anonymous blogs, I can confess to something I would never ever tell my friends. I actually watched the a realty program about Leah Remini preparing for her wedding, I don't know why, I am hoping I was on drugs at the time, and yes she is as bad as people think she is.

Yeah, that lame rumor mill item about an 8th Harry Potter makes it pretty clear that there will be no 8th novel in the series. It should say 10th Harry Potter, because it's just another side project like the quidditch and the creature books.
Posted by: other mick chick | May 14, 2007 12:55 PM
She could still kill Harry. This 8th book was going to be an encyclopedia, right? Not another installment...

People who comment on how happy the Cruises appear seem to have forgotten that they are ACTORS!
And that they are on a major publicity blitz lately to prove to everyone how happy they are ...

Why is Lindsay Lohan wearing such a butt-ugly bikini? She has a terrific figure, but the style is really tacky and black looks terrible on her.
Think she should wear a halter top and boy-style pants in a flower print...would look cute.
Anyway, she looks as if she's enjoying being her age...good for her. Believe it or not, I probably used to kiss my husband like that when I was 20!!

Leah Remini is not exactly exhibiting behavior that her "religion" (Scientology) would condone or is she?
Re: 8th Harry Potter book. A prequel to the story might be a very nice addition to the series. Although we know about Harry's parents' story from flashbacks in the first 7 books a more complete story on either of them would be compelling...

Hello from across the pond. I come to share with you the title of my latest novel, "Harry Potter and the Golden Cow of Unending Cash." In this novel, dare I say, someone will die! I'll also share with you the delightful history of Quidditch and how it came to be at Hogwarts.
You must all run out now to pre-order your copy, only available from Scholastic Books. If you don't, you'll make Baby Hermoine cry and Snape will torture this kitten!
