Of course OJ's ghost writer "got it all wrong." OJ knows what really happened... Sigh.

Considering what's on the first 25 tearjerkers, I hope "ET", "Apollo 13" (esp. the ring down the sink part), "Fox and the Hound", and "Forrest Gump" all make it to the Top 25!
So sad about Matt Roloff!! Such an inspiring "reality" show...Just goes to show you that everyone's "human".

Is Gene doing updates this week?

Juliette Lewis may be a freak these days, but at least her body looked better in her ridiculous outfit than Britney Spears did in her pole-dancing get up...

#1 tearjerker: Old Yeller

Yep, Gene's update will be up shortly.

Yes!! I knew I was leaving a couple good ones out, and that's def. one! Probably most of the Disney "classics" should be on the list!
Posted by: WDC | August 1, 2007 9:31 AM
I dare anyone to watch The House of Sand and Fog and not end up a blubbering mess. I still get teary-eyed thinking of that one. Almost to omuch to bear, but truly beautiful movie.

"Spears threatened to kill Deetz and said he should get a restraining order against her because she was going to kill him or hire someone that would"
in front of the 2 children no less...
i didnt think she was going to be able to volley LiLo's serve - but there it is... advantage Brit - a crystal clear definition of the term American Chav.

WDC--"ring down the sink part" in Apollo 13???? Do you cry at Hallmark commercials too??
I'll agree with Old Yeller though.
Posted by: jelo | August 1, 2007 9:41 AM
don't knock the hallmark commercials. how many of us teared up at the ol' AT&T (remember them?) commercials from the '80's?
now it's that Sarah Mclaughlin (sp?) pet adoption commercial that gets me every time. every single time.
Posted by: cee_jay | August 1, 2007 9:51 AM
I can't ebleive that no one's reacted to the fact that Nicole Richie is pregos?!?!? Apocolypse now!
Posted by: Anonymous | August 1, 2007 10:16 AM
okay so Nicole Ritchie confirmed her pregnancy...
And all the while I just thought she had a bloated tummy because she was malnutritioned. So, so wrong...
Now my main concern is this baby. Think she'll teach her child the same things she teaches the children on "The Simple Life?"
Posted by: bean sprout | August 1, 2007 10:16 AM
I second House of Sand and Fog that wrecked me when he kept saying "I want my son,I want only my son." I went thru half a box of tissues.
It a festivus miracle Nicole Richie is with child. I didn't think that was possible. She's a walking street pharmacy.
When is the headline "Britney Loses Custody of Children" going to come. She is one act away from a chilling movie of the week.
Posted by: petal | August 1, 2007 10:24 AM
the pet adoption commercial gets me too...
...as for nicole richie, it seems paris is the more responsible one at the moment - at least in terms of controlling her uterus
ps - still so jealous of methinks encounter with don henley (posted yesterday)
Posted by: misc | August 1, 2007 10:25 AM
so nicole richie is pregnant, definitely a miracle. but why is she being alloted prime time interview space and facetime with diane sawyer to tell her story? shouldn't this be relegated to E!News?

So, how many "unwed" mothers are there in Hollywood? Or pregnant then married ala Kate and Tom (and so many others)? Is there a tally?? I will give Britney credit for at least getting married first, she managed to do the right thing at least once in her life...
Posted by: WDC | August 1, 2007 10:56 AM
I have nothing against one or two tattoos but Joel Madden arms are hideous. I hope Diane Sawyer ask about if his entire body is covered or what is his mental state.

Britney credit for at least getting married first, she managed to do the right thing at least once in her life...
Getting married to some low life back up dancer with his own baby mama drama and promptly popping out babies is not the right thing to do...it was stupid, stupid, stupid.

Oh my, the Shiloh perfume lawsuit... How ridiculous! So once Angelina uses the name, no one else can? Beware those who name their daughters Shiloh! You too could get sued!
Hope she teaches her kids to share; obviously she did not learn herself.

Love the way Joel Madden and NR have gussied themselves up in their finest No Really We're Responsible GrownUps threads for their interview with Diane Sawyer.
SMRT move, throwing Child Protective Services off their trail early on.
Posted by: Cubeland, MD | August 1, 2007 11:21 AM
I give Nicole Richie and Joel Madden credit for looking like grown-ups. Remember Britney interview with Matt Lauder, which was a hot trailer trash mess.

I got choked up once at a Maxwell House commercial around Xmastime. I want to open a vein even thinking about the conclusion of Old Yeller.
Posted by: 23112 | August 1, 2007 12:07 PM
misc, it was a never to be forgotten elevator ride that's for sure. not that we chatted, but my respectful "i love your work. i was at the hotel california tour show in munich's olympic stadium," netted this response, "that was an awesome show." he was right--it was awesome.
then he went on with his life, baby, and i went on with mine...
but, who knows, maybe one day we will find,
that it wasn't really wasted time.

Honestly it's not that much worse than most make-up, moisturizers, etc. If you read up on the ingredients and their sources you might be surprised.
Posted by: FC | August 1, 2007 1:25 PM
Maybe Richie and Madden actually have taken on the mantle of responsible parenthood. It happens, ya know..."we have a baby on the way, time to grow up."
Posted by: 23112 | August 1, 2007 2:01 PM
"So, how many "unwed" mothers are there in Hollywood? Or pregnant then married ala Kate and Tom (and so many others)? Is there a tally??"
Great question. Last count, a bunch of kids are being conceived out of wedlock. Of course, TomKat didn't get hitched until after Suri was born. However, Benifer2 (or whatever Ben Afleck/Jennifer Garner are termed) did get married before Violet was born.

Anyone catch the weird Gary Coleman "loan" company TV ads? I've seen it twice...Yikes.
Posted by: Somewhere... | August 1, 2007 2:40 PM
Someone needs to tell Angelina Jolie everything isn't always about her.
Could Britney Spears be any more trashy and gross?
It is still a medical miracle that an 82-lb. anorexic is pregnant. I just don't get it. And why is news coverage being given to two completely messed-up train wrecks deciding to procreate? For once it would be so nice to see a POSITIVE story on the news, such as a nice couple who were friends for a long time, fell in love, waited a long time to get married (until they were sure ... ), were married awhile, have a healthy lifestyle of separate interests, couple interests and THEN decided to have a child who is loved, wanted, and healthy.
Oh, and the interview should be done on their 50th wedding anniversary ... to show what a long-lived, healthy marriage looks like.
It is just sickening that these freaks are given so much media ... but here I am looking at it.

Tom and Rita!! (Not 50 years, but still).
Posted by: Washington, DC | August 1, 2007 3:31 PM
Tom and Rita got together while he was still married to his first wife--he admits it was a hot and heavy affair first, but that the marriage had sort of died already...

49 years, 10 years, and 10 years respectively. I guess in Hollywood anything over 5 years is considered a successfull marriage...wait...Bruce and Demi did divorce after 11 years?

Debbie Harry is the last person I would take beauty advice from. She, er, isn't terribly well preserved.
Also, sheep embryos? I'm surprised PETA hasn't firebombed her house.
