@TableNein: Dunno, she seems pretty stable to me, but with SATC continually dangling that carrot out there, it's no wonder she looks a little run-down.
@naugahydeinplainsight: All these neigh-sayers are a bunch of appaloosas! SJP still spurs a funny feeling in my jockeys. An unbridled feeling of passion, if you will.
@resipsaloquacious: If she's that tired she should have her secretariat cancel some of her events. She needs to spend more time at home, being a mudder to her kids.
@Our Lady of the Massacre: I hate to break this to you, but Tarantino is pretty notorious for saying he's going to do something and then never coming through (although he did finally make Inglourious Basterds). I'm still waiting for the novel version of Kill Bill, the 4 hour Kill Bill extravaganza, and a remake of Faster, Pussycat, Kill, Kill starring Britney Spears.
@Our Lady of the Massacre: Sounds exciting, although I do have to wonder what this film could possibly be about. If memory serves, the Bride gone killed Bill already. Unless there's ANOTHER Bill who wronged her that we know nothing about? Very intriguing.
Tarantino himself has mentioned that a sequel might revolve around Nikki Bell's quest to avenge the death of her mom Vernita Green at the hands of The Bride from Vol. 1.
@shortskid: If that were so, it's at this point a full-blown vendetta, no longer a narrative of personal revenge. It reminds me of that wonderful chapter in "Huck Finn" about the Grangerford-Shepherdson multi-generational feud. Yay! I always maintained that Tarantino is kind of a classicist at heart..
Wow, now I need to become a famous celebrity chef, so I can write a memoir revealing how my first venture into haute cuisine involved roasting and eating my baby brother.
I love Gawker specifically for the snark I can't get anywhere else, and while I definitely got a few laughs from the timeline of crazy (can't WAIT for the Suri Cruise memoir), I still think it's a bit much to place blame on Mackenzie Phillips by positioning her as a famewhore.
Obviously this has made her "relevant" again, and will make her a lot of money, but this woman was a victim of rape by her father at the age of 19. She was also (uncomfortably, she admits) in a long-term incestuous relationship that was founded on drug use. I simply cannot place blame on her. She's too messed up to be seen as anything other than a victim.
I will, however, place blame on her publisher and on Oprah, who sure picked up this story quickly. There are a lot of way to cope, but publishing a book? I can only hope this was an emotional release for her in some way.
@chickachicka: Think of it this way- everyone knows that Mackenzie Phillips has had a long, horrific battle with drugs. Everyone knows that her dad was her partner in her addiction, and in many ways facilitated it. WHY do we need to know this? We don't. She does not need to write a book about this to heal or stay sober. When Rehab programs talk about "rigorous honesty" , they are not talking about shit like this.
@chickachicka: i'm a bit torn with all of this.
part of me thinks she is just a crazy junkie who needs to sell books/garner attention (hell, her own sister had to get her own spread in US Weekly over this story this week....makes you wonder what kind of support she has ever gotten from her family)
but the other half of me just cannot believe someone would make all this up. i think she finally went to rehab (after last year's embarrassing arrest) and is finally admitting why she has been so fucked up.
but seriously, is this cathartic? i don't think so. i think it's a small piece of a very sad puzzle. this poor woman will never be healthy and normal - because of her own actions and because of the actions of BOTH of her parents. it's tragic as all hell.

But Katy could send him hyperlinks to Lily Allen's boobies. That would probably be even better.

On another note, OOOOOHHHH that Oliver Hudson!

She once was a perky fillie, but now anyone who thinks so has blinders on.
