Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Blackberry double post.

Compassionately intolerant

Crowe said he first thought the scheme was part of some elaborate Oscar publicity stunt hatched by studio executives.

Somebody's getting publicity...sadly.

And frankly, I think Paul Rueben's arrest had more cultural impact...

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I was sort of picturing it as a quick, sordid information retrieval done in some dirty back alley, or a nearby motel room over you lunch hour.

At least it isn't done for money.

ita's joke was funnier than anything Chris Rock aid at the Oscars.

I know I have at least 10 because of the long and short sound for each vowel. I still clearly fall in the not distinguishing between words that are spelt differently (erin/aaron) (cot/caught) ad naseum. also this is discussion #48 and should be in the deja vu thread.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I pronounce most of my vowels, but only when my fork is my right hand.

I'm guessin' MJ is gonna go free....

Quite simply, this family is a mess. Even if the charges are true, there's ample evidence that they latched on to any celebrity they could and had more run-ins with California's legal system than any family would want, their lives in constant turmoil all the way.

If the accuser's brother was an incidental witness, his hole-ridden testimony could be ignored. But the prosecution's case rests largely on the brother and the accuser himself. Mesereau did exactly what a good defense lawyer is hired to do: He found key weaknesses in the case and drove a steamroller through them.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

If this month's GQ interview was the first Crowe's said about this kidnapping plot, why do I remember hearing about it weeks or months ago? Didn't this supposedly happen at the same time he was filming that movie with Meg Ryan? The one that was about kidnapping?

He knew about it, Matt. He just hasn't commented on it until now.
