I saw Melvin Van Peebles at a party and he was wearing this:

I just saw Odetta this summer at what was probably one of her last performances at the Hardly Strictly Bluegrass festival. I was, luckily, backstage. Not so luckily, I was totally in the way of her wheelchair as she was being positioned for a photo and Wavy Gravy, of all people, had to ask me to move.

@Miss Smith Drank Your Vodka: Totes! It's like the women preaching against abortion who've had 3 or 4 themselves which they now regret and think were wrong. I'm looking at you, Sherri Shepherd!

@Archetype: A guitar player I know has the best solution for this. When you smell the nasty highway smell, simply announce to the rest of the car, "If anyone needs to fart, now's the time!"

@J.D.Regent: I see your point. I also think she's simply grown up a lot and honed her media savvy, which is a crucial for people in her profession. And not a completely good or bad thing.

@honkytonk: I recently read One Drop and enjoyed it. There were some hints in the book that she might have a superiority attitude. Some of her dad's side of the family did not want to meet this cousin so suddenly interested in her "black heritage".

@SisterMaryMartha is GOLDEN.: YESSS! I <3 Irene Dunne and this move also stars my favorite actor, Cary Grant. It's so amazing, people, watch it if you haven't already!

I take issue with calling Hasselbeck "hot". Knee-jerk sarcastic demagoguery ain't pretty.

"Sexual morays" should be "sexual mores".

@PilgrimSoul: Except Irene would have had no part of it. She was married to her dentist husband for 35+ years, and didn't go in for Hollywood nonsense. She still managed to generate publicity and be a hell of an actress without scandals and such.

@badmutha: That's ridic. I love red wine, but sometimes I just can't hack it. I generally don't like Chardonnay too much, but there is some excellent white wine out there. Not to mention champagne!

@iHEARTschadenfreude: When she went on Leno, she totes rocked an awesome Buddy Holly style outfit:. She's so gorgeous, I guess it's a foregone conclusion that they'd girly her up for ratings. But her personal style is amazing, too.

@icurbritney: Yeah, Tracie and Rich definitely have a rapport. Cultivated through loooong association and 3 ball sightings (to be precise)

@titilayo: On that unrelated note, my ex was a terrible alcoholic and hid it from me for a long time. When we finally broke up and he was out of the house, I found a huge stash of empty beer bottles stacked between our house and the back fence. I lived in Oregon at the time, so it was a pain in the butt, but I made a…

@JinxyMcDeath: I saw her in person at a panel I produced. She is tall and well-built, not even close to fat. Her dad was Mickey Hargitay, aka Mr. Universe, so I wouldn't expect any less.

@LAmonkeygirl: Yeah, the only thing that really works is thick moisturizing lotion, especially if you put it on at night. If you clip or shave dead skin, it'll just grow back, because your foot's trying to protect itself.

@Political Party Girl: Yeah, some people really do think that. A woman asked a McCain surrogate at a conference I was at what she had to say about McCain broadcasting Viet Cong propaganda on the radio while he was a POW. Her brother served in Vietnam and told her about it, and she was convinced that he was an agent…

@hellodarling!: You can wear the heck out of it in Austin! Or how about a Guy Juke (Austin poster artist) designed Obama T-shirt?

@TaraIncognita: I think you can use both falsity and falseness. I <3 werds!

@kepster: Soooo jellus! Jane Goodall rules and extra points for the heavy breathing on Martha's neck.
