How long before Kate divorces that cat from the Black Crowes who lookes like Mr. Burns with bad pre-puescent facial hair?

I give it another two years.

I doubt they ever will for some reason. BUt here is to hoping. Only one of my three fave bands is currently making music and that isnt enough. And I only saw the crowes live once. albeit with theallmans, on stage at the same time, but still.

The reason is because she's turned Chris Robinson into a total pussy.

She's not the archetype anymore and she proved it by bombing America's Sweethearts so badly. Since then, she's going to focus on either walk-ons that she can do it in her sleep (Ocean's 11, Ocean's 12, Confessions of a Dangerous Mind) or follow the path that Michelle Pfeiffer who is about ten years older than she is did (compare Mona Lisa's Smile (2003) to Dangerous Minds (1996)). She's also going to try and reinvent herself as a sexy older woman (see Confessions of a...), which isn't going to work Every few years she'll pull out something to try and get Oscar attention, and in about ten to fifteen years, she'll start getting the roles that Susan Surrandon gets now. Not the Meryl Streep good actress roles, but the more spitfire, not as hard to play roles.

Excerpts on topics recently discussed on the FB:'



I turned on Isiah during his prime, when his frozen smile disguised a cheapshot artist and poor sport, not to mention he was the ringleader of those physical Pistons teams that almost ruined basketball. He was nearly exposed after blaspheming the Basketball Jesus ("If Bird were black ... "), but it was only when he and his loser teammates stormed off against MJ's Bulls that we saw the real Isiah. And you wonder why they left him off the Dream Team. Since then he's burned bridges in Detroit and Toronto, struggled famously as a talking head, destroyed the CBA and stumbled comically as Indiana's coach. Now we get to watch him screw up the Knicks, which obviously isn't a bad thing. I just want to know why he keeps getting chances. Shouldn't you have to display some degree of competence to land six high-profile jobs in less than a decade? When he's running for president in 2008, don't say I didn't warn you.


Then there's [Pete] Rose: hypocrite, serial liar, degenerate gambler. He finally admitted betting on baseball, but only to hawk his book and weasel his way into Cooperstown. Yes, I was lying for the past 14 years, but I feel sorry now, and oh, by the way, can I be in the Hall? How can we let him profit off this crap? Shouldn't the Son of Sam laws apply here? If it were up to me, I'd put him in the Hall -- in the basement, next to the furnace, with a plaque that lists all the indefensible things he did. What a slime.

But the ultimate con man is Clemens. He's now skipped town three times: once for money, once for a ring and once because he fell in love with Andy Pettitte. Sox fans were outraged after Clemens said he'd play only in Boston or Texas, then signed in Canada for a few extra bucks, muttering a few stilted words of thanks on his way out. Toronto fans were outraged when Clemens' agents brokered an iffy trade to Gotham. And Yankee fans were outraged because they'd resisted Clemens for years, finally accepting him after he fondled Babe Ruth's statue enough times. God, what a phony. As soon as they bought into his "I want to retire as a Yankee" rhetoric, he reamed them. Instead of a farewell tour, they got "Farewell, suckers!"

Damn. The thing that surprises me most is that he considers Clemens worse than Rose.

Honestly, I don't like Clemens either, but how is he worse in doing what he did than say, Bill Parcells has been?

Well, who really cares who "America's Sweetheart" is? I mean, there will always be a light-haired actress with a nice build and cute smile somehwere for the role, right?

What I want to know is, where is the younger actress that can play the Jodie Foster/Laura Dern roles? Is it Uma Thurman? Is she good enough for those roles? Someone else?

One nice thing about fakes is some chicks who get them become insanely sensitive as a result.

True, but there are some that become sensitive but not in a good way. Then there are those that become insensitive. It's a crap shoot.

Sebby, the sweetheart type isn't supposed to be sexy. She'd be too threatening to women then, and they wouldn't go to see her movies.

Uma is getting up there (When the hell is Kill Bill Volume 2 coming out anyways? I thought it was supposed to be out in January), and she's definitely going for more of the sex appeal than the cuteness. She's definitely trying her hand at different stuff. She's 33 (or so she claims), and she's sort of reinventing herself after taking off a lot of time (I think to have kids). I don't see Foster or Dern making an Avengers type of mis-step, though Sommersby was probably just as bad.

Back off. Paigow lost her virginity with "Walks Like A Lady" playing on the radio of her boyfriend's car. Always remember, Ixnay on Slamming Steve Miller.

Again, Hank, you show your age.

Wow, I have a new found respect for you. I never heard his solo album but I did catch the closing credits to Bangor Sisters (my future life story- I amthe goldie hawn character) and he was singig and it was practically lite fm. heartbreaking for the wrong reasons.

Last I heard, (which was last night) it's now slated for release in April. I'm not sure why.

You sure have thought a lot about all things cinema, haven't you?

Tell me what you find confusing? Is it the way we kiss? I'll change, I promise I'll change.

Neither is Reese Witherspoon, for that matter.

Dan Rather is kinda hot, too.
