Doing a tv show like that is hard fucking work. There is a lot of writing, prep, etc., etc. to do. He can do his two hours a night five days a week on Loveline probably 45 weeks a year, have a few celebrities in, roll in to the studio ten minutes before air, and he probably makes $5MM a year.

He's a jackass, but I don't think that the reason that Jimmy has a show is because fortune has smiled on him more than Corolla. IF anything, the Man Show made Jimmy; Corolla was already a rich star in a different realm.

In fact, I distinctly remember listening to Corolla on LL back in the day when he was talking about his buddy Jimmy, who was going to hit it big someday. LL was always a lot better on the radio.

And SS is a babe. I have totally dug her ever since I first saw her on Conan. Too bad her movie roles have totally sucked (as do most women's roles).

Okaaaaay: Miramax Films will co-finance and distribute computer-animated family films starting with "Opus," adapted from the popular "Bloom County" comic strip, the company said Thursday.

Uh-oh: "What you spend doesn't necessarily reflect on how good the movie is," said Jim Miller, Wild Brain chairman.

Look for these to bypass direct-to-video and go instead direct-to-Disney-Channel. Dammit, str8, see what kind of shit gets greenlighted when you go on vacation?

First they cancel Bloom County. Then the god awful Outland. Now this.

Can we add this to the triad* of "For the love of god, please stop!!! You're fucking the whole thing up!!!!"

*The Godfather III; Martrix II and III; everything Star Wars after "Empire"

Turns out that W really is the clearest proof yet that we're descended from apes.

You can see the family resemblance:

I wonder how his Christian right constituents feel about this!

That's bullshit -- I don't like the guy, but I find that offensive.

I feel like I am probably whiffing here, but after all the completely tasteless, over-the-top "political satire" that has occurred on these boards, what is it about the Bush-monkey comparisons that has provoked you to voice your outrage?

Good question. I dunno.

Maybe it's just a belated effort to live up to my self-appointed role as champion of the nicey-nice posters in the FB community?

As usual, I have to go to a Halloween party with a bunch of artists this year. This puts extra pressure on costumes, because there are a hell of a lot of creative people out there. Last year I went as Montecore. Year before I brought back my Devil Went Down to Georgia costume. Before that was my Alice in Chains attempt. Most recently, at a Scandal! party, I wore a fur that had been spray painted by PETA.

Any brilliant costume ideas out there?

1. Janet Jackson's nipple.

2.(a) George W. Bush swilling champagne and snorting blow as a Texas Air National Guard "pilot."

2.(b) John Kerry with a band-aid and three Purple Hearts as a "warrior."

3. Britney and/or Kevin Whatshisname -- classy bride/groom of the year.

4. Martha Stewart in pinstipes.

edited to note that, upon reflection, these are pretty lame. Except for the nipple one.

The nipple one was heavily used at the Scandal! party in March. As was Martha Stewart. And Halliburton. Damned artists and their creative parties. Britney and Kevin weren't a thing then... hmmm. I'm not quite sure that I could pull off Britney, though the juicy tracksuits would be fairly easy.

My sister and her friends are going as game. I think she's a duck.

1. Freudian slip

2. The Bush Twins

3. Paris Hilton (the hotel, not the bimbo)

4. Dick Cheney - you don't show up but everyone knows you're in charge.

I am a fan of cheesy local celebrities and annoying commercials for costune ideas. Some of my faves include Marvin Zindler and a guy in a bathrobe who put a bunch of foam in his hair and kept pointing to it and saying "This side tingles. This side doesn't."

Why don't you go as Zell Miller, in full duel-wear? You could even put a chris matthews head on your back, facing the other way so that it looks like you're standing back-to-back, about to mark off ten paces.

No one can answer this for you until they know if you're going with a date, or going trying to find one. This is the most basic question in Halloween costume selection. If it's the later, you can't do something that hides the figure or face (unless that would help- and I've heard that's not the case). If you would answer this, it would help you get appropriate advice.
