    The "hero" of the Jayson Blair saga was a woman who Landman foisted Blair off on to try to get him to get his shit together. She is the one who told Landman that Blair shouldn't work for the Times. Landman took the glory and the woman was demoted to copy editor, where she remains today.

    Wow, I'm going to estimate about -7.5 or -8.0 diopters, there. Definitely a good sign.

    If Melanie Griffith hasn't done it, quite frankly, it hasn't been done. In the event of a nuclear war, it will be up to Melanie, Keith and the roaches to re-populate the planet.

    Oh Eddie Cibrian. If I saw you on the street, do you know what I would say to you?

    Well, probably, "Hey, aren't you that kid from John Tucker Must Die?" Because really, it's uncanny. Like Jeffrey Dean Morgan/Javier Bardem uncanny.

    Martina's life is getting rather complicated...has she heard of pre-nups?

    Melanie Griffin is turning into a Tim Burton character.

    The Edouard Stern thing is even worse. Lemigova had a child by him, who was killed at 5 months old by his nanny - who then disappeared. Lemigova believes Stern had it done.

    This looks like a t-shirt sold at a fair circa '92. You know, the one next to Bugs Bunny smoking a joint.

    I'm not one to ever jump the gun on race card shit, but isn't that a little racist to Africanize cartoon characters that are otherwise somewhat ambiguously white? (I guess technically they're yellow, but culturally they appear to take on more or less white stereotypes and behaviors) .. Is it that different as if an ad touting Seinfeld reaching Angola featured all the characters in blackface? (Michael Richards puns notwithstanding)

    @lobstr: I'd agree if I didn't know for a fact that (1) all Angolan little girls have beaded braids and (2) all Angolan families have crooked elephant pictures on their walls.

    @Nice Beaver: The fact that it's crooked is just a reference to the Simpsons, but yes, a friend of a friend just came back from a trip to Angola and said it was pretty standard to have the elephant picture. It's sort of like those possum pictures everyone in the South has.

    Just giving you a hard time (though I honestly have no idea what a "possum picture" could refer to). I'm a Southern transplant anyway.
