I have to agree with the fug girls that she looks great with grey hair.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Short grey hair! Plus, of course, two of the best breasts ever shown off in a mainstream comedy by a lead actress.

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

Holli's turning 21?

So we can say anything in front of her now. Huh. Weird.

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

She's like the pre-Salma.

Okay, weird. Emphasis mine...

Michael Jackson returned to the stage at a star-studded World Music Awards in London last night, but only managed to sing a few lines of his hit "We Are The World." Jackson was at the event to collect a Diamond Award for selling more than 100 million albums. But what was billed as a spectacular comeback for the world's biggest star fell flat. Fans outside the Earls Court venue were left fuming when Jackson failed to greet them and then revealed he wouldn't be performing - despite reports he would sing live in the British capital for the first time in nine years. Inside, the arena was only half full. The superstar did make it onstage to join a gospel choir performance of the 1985 song he co-wrote with Lionel Richie - but he barely uttered a line. Jackson was presented the Diamond Award by Beyonce Knowles and also a Guinness World Record for Thriller, the biggest selling album of all time. During an emotional speech, Jackson thanked his friends, family and fans. He said, "I'm greatly humbled by this award. It was my dream that thriller would become the biggest selling album ever. I thank God and you for it's success. There have been so many who have loved and stood by me for the 25 years I have been in the entertainment industry. I'd like to thank my children particularly. Paris, Prince Michael and Blanket (Prince Michael II) for their unconditional love. I love all my fans from the bottom of my heart."

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

So weird that the Peabody in Memphis just came up. My sister is pushing to go there for New Years. I'd never heard of it before yesterday.

I've been to the Peabody. With Matt the Bruins Fan.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Best Hotel Ever

The Intercontinental really IS swank. And conveniently close to excellent shopping....

"What kind of magical sunshine and lollipop world do you live in? Because you need to be medicated."-SFist

When I graduated high school in 1985 (as previously noted, a very good year for buffista graduations), I stayed with a friend at the Pierre in NY. Her mother was living there. Her dad was also in town, but at The Regency. We got giggly drunk on champagne and spent the night looking out the window at all the cabs. We didn't realize until leaving the next day that Cher had been in the next room. Good times.

The Intercontinental really IS swank.

Really? It always seems a little sketch to me. )I've had drinks in the lounge, though never stayed there.) But it just seems kind of...forgotten. A little Hyperionesque, even.
