re: britney's..ahem..dress...she's making it waaaay too easy to pick on her. it's almost no fun anymore.

re: whoopi goldberg/view/vick...she's GOT to be kidding. he didn't know that the rest of america, those not in the south, who were non-black, think dog fighting/dog murder is illegal and repugnant? give me a flippin' break.

and finally...jerry lewis...
oy vey! what a putz! but here's what i want to know, yes what he said was ignorant, wrong, etc., but what about what he said about women (comedians). that he views women as breeding machines. where was the hue and cry about that comment whenever it was made? how does that guy continue to work? and not on the telethon, i mean he gets the occasional acting job even though he went to the university of over-the-top acting. i've always found him annoying and condescending (in most interviews i've seen and read.) yes, he's done a passel of good works for MDA--God bless him--but there are a lot of bad, bad folks out there who give and raise money to salve their consciences.

okay. enough.

By the time R. gets to trial, he'll be trapped in the closet with the girl's granddaughter.

And I don't know what's up with Brad. I'm as pretty as I ever was. I feel sorry for the guy, you know?

-Halle Berry's kid will be the most beautiful baby ever!

-Glen Close should have placed her on the Celebrity Aged Well list. She aged much better than Ellen Barkin.

Eh, Lewis gets a pass from me. He's an aged product of another time. Whoopi, on the other hand...sheesh, I've very often liked her both as an actress (yeah, I'm serious), and as a person, even though I know sometimes she goes places that are anathema to me, but geez. The woman just knocked racial and regional relations back a way by defending Vick with the rationale that she threw out there. You know, "black people from the South think that's OK".

Ack! I grew up just down the road from where Vick did! There was no dog fighting! It was not acceptable!

I am secretly aching for a back shot of Britney in that skirt...her but HAS to be hanging out AGAIN....I just want PROOF. And yeah, it is almost no fun anymore. Sad. I still want to rubber neck.

ugh, Scott Biao

Whoopie offended me as a Southern person. Animal cruelty is not part of our culture.

And why is Scott Baio still filming the "Scott Baio is single..." show if he's engaged with a baby on the way?

Whoopi forgot to mention that drug dealing, murder and armed robbery were part of the environment where Vick grew up so I guess those are OK activities too.

Vick grew up in public housing in Newport News, not some rural backroad shack. Let's stop trying to find excuses for his behavior and just say it was wrong, period.

I can't open the link to the "best-aged list" since I'm at work, but if Ellen Barkin is on that list as Lisa1 suggests, I'm going to be disappointed! She has definitely NOT aged well and her lop-sided looking plastic surgery has NOT helped her look any better... I can't figure out what her appeal is, but I don't think she very attractive... she just has blonde hair and a trim body.. is that where the bar is set these days? that is all.

Congrats to Halle Berry!

Britney's 1st thought upon waking every day:

"Another day, another audition to be a model at an upskirt-video website."

That "aged well" list is ridiculous. First of all, compared to what? Posh Spice? 41 is not "aged" unless compared to a 15 year old. And I agree the standard is blonde, American, super skinny and not very good actress. Michelle Pfeiffer? Give me a break. Why didn't they throw Meg Ryan and Sharon Stone in there, too.
What about Meryl Streep? Julie Christie? People who don't look as if they go to the plastic surgeon every week.

Also, did anyone notice the "cryptic" part of the Nicole Kidman interview. Like do you think the mysterious part of the miscarriage was the conception? Like maybe it was performed with a turkey baster?

Oh, I thought the cryptic part was about the adoptions. Like, they're going to turn out to actually be Tom Cruise's alien lovechildren.

Since when is Virginia the "deep" South? I am not originally from the South, deep or otherwise, but if I were, I'd be offended by Goldberg's comments. Isn't the deep South where we had uninhibited displays of racism (hopefully only formerly)? I highly doubt that anyone would excuse or somehow take such displays more lightly today just because they happened in the South and could be said to be part of a (hopefully long since abandoned) Southern culture.

I've lived in the Deep South my entire life. My friends, coworkers, and strangers standing next to me in the coffee line were all completely disgusted by the dogfighting. It is absolutely not a part of our culture. If anything, it outraged Southerners, because most of us have pets. And most of those pets are dogs. And most of those dogs are treated as family members, not sport.

Thank heavens the Brit-pics aren't from behind. Why she wants to show off that ass is beyond me.

Scott Baio's show (which was amazing, by the way, and I hope you all watched it) was renewed for 9 more episodes this season - I'm guessing it will be 9 episodes of Scotty Boy tearing up at ultrasounds and putting diapers on backwards, but I am so, so watching it.

How can they have a list of well-aged celebrities and leave out Jennifer Tilly?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jennifer_Tilly

Pushing 50, looking fabulous, and doesn't appear to have fallen under the knife. It's not that she looks young, merely that she looks great.

I don't think you get to be on the well-aged list if many of your parts are not, in fact, as old as the rest of you. Anyone can look well-aged if they spend thousands on silicone, Restylane, botox, liposuction, etc to sculpt, shape, and otherwise young-ify themselves. And Brad, I think you are farrrrrrr hotter with some lines and miles on that face than as a callow youth.

I am a black urban southerner like Michael Vick, although a little older, and never heard about anybody dogfighting when I was growing up. Even now, the people in my city associated with vicious dogs are frequently in some other kind of legal trouble and have been of all races; it's certainly not openly practiced and approved, as Whoopi implies it is. Such a "cultural background" explanation for Vick's six years of organized cruelty and deception--coming from a native Manhattanite, no less--is an insult to all the black southerners who seized an opportunity (like the one that fell into Michael Vick's lap) and did something positive with it.

Although she's not exactly voluptuous, kudos to Michelle Pfeiffer for saying "I don't believe men want women to have grotesque plastic surgery or be undernourished and bony." Yeah, then why are there so many malnourished skeletons and women who look like creatures from outer space, they've had so many plastic surgeries? Not just celebs, either. I live in Southern California and see them ALL. THE. TIME. Mostly of the enormous rubbery- lipped and gargantuan bolt-on boob variety, but plenty whose faces are frozen and look very odd. Who thinks these women look good?

Wait... Halle Berry is pregnant and she didn't even invite me to help? Damn, I knew I shouldn't have gone out of town last weekend!

Okay, speaking of not looking good ... what on earth has the divine Nicole Kidman done to herself? She was once a spectacular redhead with a wonderfully patrician and unique beauty ... now she's a cookie-cutter, big-lipped bleached-blonde. Oh, Nicole. Why, why, why?

and don't forget Nicole's forehead Botoxed into immobility, California. She is gross looking.

I go to college where Michael Vick grew up. Dog fighting is not acceptable here, nor is this the deep south. That comment was just wrong on so many different levels.
