Bachelet is a fascinating character and a very unlikely candidate for first woman president in South America who got the office under her own steam, not as a result of a dead/deposed hubby. Agnostic, divorced, had kids out of wedlock, socialist and farther left than the outgoing socialist president, Lagos. Even though she'd been leading in the polls up to the run off, it's still kind of surreal that she actually won. We've been searching (more or less) in vain for some good media coverage in the US papers. The closest thing we got was a report that Hugo Chavez had called to congratulate her on her victory, which means she must be in the Chavez/Morales/Castro axis of evil. It would be funny if it weren't so sad.

It seems like a lot of cool stuff going on in elections in SA this year, huh? On a catty note, the new Bolivian president has the same bad haircut as every person from Bolivia I've ever seen, it seems like.

I'm going to have my PT...stopped somehow. He's on the phone with krav right now.

Oh dear.

my eyes! my EYES!

Mariah Carey is on the red carpet.

Johnny Depp combed his hair with an eggbeater.

Mariah Carey may be a skanky ho, but at least she isn't anorexic.

So sad to be missing the Globes watch 'n post. Darn one tv! Charlize, however, has really needed to lay off the self-tanner for a while now. I still have nightmares about her Oscar night skin tone. She looked like an Oompa Loompa.

Heh. Sorry. I know you wanna. But...

MY eyes!

Michael Bolton! MICHAEL BOLTON!

Russell Crowe can still read me the phone book any time.

I don't think Matt Dillon is aging at all. Is he a vampire?

What happened to Mariah? I thought she was supposed to be working with [insert name of famous fashionista here because it escapes me. Although it may have been Andre Leon Talley]. At any rate, wasn't said famous fashionista supposed to be helping her to not be such a skank-ho?
