We had a wonderful holiday weekend in Capitola, Calif., so I was away from the laptop AND the television. (Gasp!) However, I came back to reality and some interesting headlines:
- Demi and Ashton pop in at bar in Iowa: My hometown. This bar is in this tiny stripmall in West Des Moines, Iowa. And no one from the LTV family was there to get yelled at by Demi. Damn!
- Jolie’s baby delivered by Cesarean: The baby girl with an amazing gene pool arrives. Plus, the name is cool.
- Sorvino gives birth to baby boy: Hollywood is fertile these days.
- Gwen’s Hollaback Baby: Again with the fertility! Rock on!
- Michael Jackson visits Tokyo orphanage: Are you kidding me?
- Pair made for last episodes of "Sopranos": You gotta have "Christa-fa" there to make it a good show. (Psst… I want flash-backs of Ade.)
- Swank. Lowe. Over: Is it just me, or did everyone want these two to work out? I have no idea why — it’s not like I know them — but they just seem like nice people.

"Breakfast Club" Principal Dies at 67: "I’m a man of respect around here. They love me. I’m a swell guy. You’re a lying sack of shit, and everyone knows it. Oh, you’re a tough guy. Hey c’mon. Get on your feet pal! Let’s find out how tough you are. I wanna know how tough you are. Let’s go. C’mon man, just take the first shot. I’m begging you, take the first shot. Just take one good swing… Yeah, that’s what I thought. You’re a gutless turd." (Props to my colleague Tim who pulled this classic Breakfast Club quote out of his ass!)
Just trying to squeeze in some television between mothering, working and crashing.




I received this great email from my friends in West Des Moines, and they have me the “okay” to post: Kristin and I party there all the time (okay, we were there once). It’s close to 27th and Univ. (Gov’s Square near Papourri). It’s got funky, slightly futuristic décor. We had to leave because we couldn’t figure out how to sit on the couch.
I must meet this friend, Tim! He sounds way too fun. Not many people can quote such a monologue. So proud!
Shelly, I stole it from IMBD. Not that I can’t quote the shorter lines off the top of my old brain (ask your sister about that)!
Now, I will say — I actually chose my daughter’s name — and it’s Claire. Hmmm. Wanna wager on where I got that one?
Got 50 bucks?
