Are They Kidding?
Looked at the Enquirer cover w/ the wealthy twin icon story. It says she needs to protect her fortune from “struggling” artist boyfriend. I’m sure she’s aware he’s an oil business billion-heir. On the other side of his family, grandpa is Buddhist scholar Robert Thurman, which would make Uma his step-aunt.
UPDATE: They broke up.
A Real Hollywood Story…
For 76-yr-old Roman Polanski, legendary director of the macabre and neo noir classic, Chinatown, a nightmare has returned. In an incredible turn of events, the man once known as the husband of the most high profile Manson family victim (his heavily pregnant wife, actress Sharon Tate, was slaughtered by the heinous cult), has just been arrested in a Zurich airport–as he arrived to collect a lifetime achievement award.
Accused in 1977 of sexually assaulting an underage girl–the Tinseltown hopeful was handed over to Polanski by her mother. Polanski took her to Jack Nicholson’s house for a photo shoot, that culminated in what was alleged to be a sexual assault. The Academy-Award winner (Best Director for The Pianist–in absentia) fled LA just before sentencing. He has been living all these years, exiled in Paris. I know Polanski, and hope this great artist is finally left alone. The current DA, Steve Cooley, is using this old, but still high profile case, to garner publicity to win state office. The victim has long ago dismissed this old news: why can’t the politicians and press?
More Than I Want To Know…
There may have been a lot of talk about Kanye West yesterday, but I saw a clip from Oprah that was a stunner. It was Whitney Houston’s revelation that her descent into hell was caused by her addiction to Bobby Brown, whom she called the “Best Sex In The World!!!”
In a restaurant recently, I was seated, at separate tables, across from BB. No pretty sight, he was w/ a woman & was definitely into large servings of PDA & “charm,” topped off w/ plenty of smarmy baby, baby, babies. BLAHH!!! & yes, there was a real baby at the table!

I Just Don’t Get…OH NOW I REALLY GET IT!!!
MAD MEN. I tried watching it 2 yrs ago but I had missed several episodes.I didn’t know what was going on. I skipped last season entirely. Now, I’ve tried again, but I’m lost. Yes, Jon Hamm looks very good, very handsome, like a real man, & they have sex. But I still don’t get it.
UPDATE: Feb.20.2010. SORRY, I GET IT NOW; IN FACT, I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT! I finally binged watched. I must admit how absolutely wrong I was! The writing, acting, camera work and production design are superb! MAD MEN is the best! FANTABULOUS!
