Actually, Allyson, now that you mention it, I haven't seen any photos of Jake Gyllenhall. Was he even there? Heath looked pretty hot though. As if there was ever any doubt.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Fiona! It is so good to see you!

It is sad, however, to see you've become a terrible liar as I know for a FACT that B is a tiny fat baby who maby takes a wobbly step or two.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Man. I can't even hear the music for Brokeback without getting weepy.

Seriously. I kept wishing they had a happier little bit of music to play.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Heath looked adorable. Michelle Williams needed to put on a bra and do something with her hair.

So the leasing offices for my apartment complex burned last night. I slept through it.

It's kind of creepy.

Speaking of bizarre nicknames, I got what I thought initially was a wrong number. They asked for Sherry. I'd just left a message at the salon to make an appointment, so it's possible they misheard. I'll call back later, anyway.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

High heeled sandals are mandatory.

But the chicken feet! Surely a closed toe -- or even something with construction in it, like a slingback -- takes away the chicken feet option.

Jessica Alba had that problem where her hair and her skin were the same color, which always makes a person look wrong to me. She's better as a straight-up brunette.

I did not see Michelle Williams till this morning, but from what I gather she looked like a wild west strumpet. WTF? The Scarlett Johanson boobage was excessive and tasteless. The Marcia Cross boobage would have been reasonably tasteful (although her dress was sherbet), except that she is so skinny that her breastbone gave up too much anatomical detail.

Butt or face, Marcia! Butt or face!!

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Butt or face, Marcia! Butt or face!!

What does this mean?!

Mariah Carey looked like she stole one of J-Lo's dresses but then had to throw on a white girdle underneath.

The one pic I've seen of Gwenyth suggests she figured out how godawful that dress was. Keira Knightley's shoulders are gorgeous.

It's a paraphrase of Catherine Deneuve, who said something about how a woman of a certain age has to choose between being very thin (i.e. having a nice butt) and looking gaunt on the face, or being a little more well-padded and having a beautiful face and a chubby butt.

Eek! That is creepy.

I enjoy the high-heeled sandals as well.

So, I actually have work to do today! Do I want to do it? No I do not.
