Liz Hurley, the model turned actress turned clothing designer, says she’s sick of big women wearing small clothes. When asked what clothes she’d like to see banned, Hurley told the London Mirror: “Anything that is too small or too tight, unless you're slim and toned. I'm sick of seeing flab bulging out all over. Bare legs in a miniskirt can look dodgy at any age.”

I had this dream and woke up pregnant. My mom said the above means birth. She must have a different book.
PIRRO FOR NY SENATOR
Tough on Ed Cox.
The newly engaged Katie Holmes still has some explaining to do to her friends and family.
There were 16 days in April during which no one seems to know where she was.

Katie Holmes
Holmes made a public appearance on April 4 at the premiere of "Steel Magnolias" on Broadway.
She came with her publicist, Leslie Sloane Zelnick, and a couple of other friends. They were there to support Rebecca Gayheart, who was making her Broadway debut.
I know this because I spoke to Holmes at length during the play's intermission. She said she had just moved into her New York apartment and was looking forward to seeing the city.
I also know that on April 4, she had not yet made the acquaintance of Tom Cruise. She briefly dated Josh Hartnett after breaking up with actor Chris Klein.
Hartnett, Klein, Cruise: Which of these three is not like the others?
Klein and Hartnett are young and tall. Cruise is middle-aged and height-challenged.
On the other hand, he's the biggest movie star in the world. They are not.
Holmes was busy during that first week in April. On April 7, she was photographed at the Fragrance Foundation's FiFi event.
Four days later, Holmes was still in New York and was photographed at VH1's "Save the Music" concert. She still had not met Cruise.
Sometime that week, her friends say, she flew to Los Angeles for a meeting with Cruise about a role in "Mission: Impossible 3." The meeting took place after April 11.
The next time anyone heard from Holmes was on April 27, when she appeared in public as Cruise's girlfriend and love of his life.
Where was she during those 16 days?
Somewhere during that time, she decided to fire both her manager and agent, each of whom she had been with for years and who were devoted to her.
The manager, John Carrabino, also handles Renée Zellweger and is beloved by his clients.
Holmes also acquired a new best friend, Jessica Feshbach, the daughter of Joe Feshbach, a controversial Palo Alto, Calif., bond trader.
The Feshbach family, according to published documents, has donated millions to the Church of Scientology. Jessica's aunt even runs a Scientology center in Florida.
According to Richard Behar's now famous 1991 story in Time magazine about Scientology, the Feshbachs were the subject of congressional hearings in 1989.
Behar wrote: "The heads of several companies claimed that Feshbach operatives have spread false information to government agencies and posed in various guises — such as a Securities and Exchange Commission official — in an effort to discredit the companies and drive the stocks down.
"Michael Russell, who ran a chain of business journals, testified that a Feshbach employee called his bankers and interfered with his loans. Sometimes the Feshbachs send private detectives to dig up dirt on firms, which is then shared with business reporters, brokers and fund managers."
The risk-taking Feshbachs, known the world over for making their fortune "shorting" stocks, and the level-headed, conservative Holmeses would be a difficult mix at a dinner table.
Katie's father, Martin Holmes, is the senior partner in a large and respected Toledo, Ohio, law firm. His son, Martin Jr., has recently joined the firm. He's a Harvard graduate. Katie's mom, Kathy, is frequently cited in Toledo for her charity work.
There is some fear among Holmes' close circle that her instant romance with Cruise is not as organic as portrayed.
For one thing, Holmes was raised a strict Catholic. Also, gone from the picture are two close Holmes friends who used to be with her when she did publicity for a film.
One of these is Meghann Birie, a childhood friend who has suddenly disappeared from Holmes' world. Another, a local TV producer here in New York, was too afraid to discuss the situation with me.
We know that Cruise auditioned several actresses for this role before settling on Holmes. This column reported a story about Jennifer Garner. There have been published stories about Kate Bosworth, Lindsay Lohan and Jessica Alba being approached.
A newer one involves Scarlett Johansson, who ran for her life when presented with a fait accompli dinner at the Scientology Celebrity Centre in Hollywood.
And history has been rewritten since the April 27 unveiling.
Curiously, since the Cruise-Holmes situation popped up, we have heard over and over again that Cruise was the young actress' idol when she was growing up.
That's certainly interesting because all of the publicity that used to run on Holmes — still found all over the Internet — lists another Tom as her favorite actor.
That would be Tom Hanks.
Unless Katie's friends and family follow her into Scientology, they can count on seeing a lot less of her.
I don't know but she/he/it is pretty pathetic if he/she/it thinks their t-shirt is clever.
Interesting... I have to go to all the trouble of having sex. :-)
Quick, somebody whisper to Cameron that a one piece and/or a tankini is much cheaper than bad plastic surgery.
LOL
Well it was not that easy but I did have the missing teeth dream. Well anyway that won't happen again thanks to the miracle of getting neutered! :)
Oh, the humanity!
Actor Tom Cruise decided to sue the four reporters who planned the water incident at the movie premiere, "War of the Worlds", who took place in London in Leicester Square. A spokeswoman for Cruise said: "Tom wants to take action but we will decide in due course what that will be. He is not just going to forget about it."
The four men who put this together were hoping to make a joke, but Cruise wasn't amused by this incident and kept popping the question "Why would you do that ... why would you do that ... why would you do that?" [Uh, because you're a twit, Tom?]
As the reporter offered a barely audible excuse, Cruise said: "Do you like thinking less of people, is that it?" "That's incredibly rude. I'm here giving you an
interview and you do that, it's incredibly rude." Cruise then said forcibly: "You're a jerk ... jerk ... you're a jerk." [Tom seems to be repeating things in threes. Is that some kind of Scientology rule?]
The journalists were arrested and released on bail in the same day. source
"This is not a scandal book intended merely to gratify the reader's salacious interests. Instead, Mr. Klein has written a serious political and psychological biography of the most likely next Democratic nominee for president — and thus, quite plausibly I fear, the next president of the United States. .....
......The anecdote continued with Nixon's recollection that he had thought that Bill Clinton was too nice to provide world leadership: " 'He doesn't scare anybody.' Then Nixon added, as though he had a sudden insight: 'Hillary inspires fear.' Nixon explained that a few minutes after the meeting started Chelsea Clinton joined the group. The kid ran right to Clinton and never once looked at her mother. I could see that she had a warm relationship with him, but was almost afraid of her mother. Hillary is ice-cold. You can see it in her eyes. She is a piece of work — 'Hillary inspires fear.' Of course, for Nixon, that was a high compliment."
The first we heard about the book was the infamous and scandalous "Chelsea was the result of rape" story, which overshadowed any legitimate and serious analysis offered by the author, I suspect.
The most memorable was after my grandmother had passed away. I was standing in her yard and looking up at the clouds. There were red, white and blue. As I continued to look at them they began to decend. The clouds changed into roses, beautiful blue roses.
The latest Stephanie Plum book came out yesterday...will spend my bucks on that book instead...WOOHOO!
I've been trying to figure out how squirting water at someone is assalt. Maybe from one of those water cannons at the Wet and Wild but ... Never mind that water is the lamest thing one could squirt at Tom.
Also from the I watch this crap so you don't have to file...
During Dean's screed yesterday at the Paint the Nation Blue (Can these folks get any dippier?) meeting, he's surrounded by the other special speakers and at the beginning of his speech Steny Hoyer and Durbin were among the small crowd on stage. Ten or fifteen minutes into the speech Dean promises that Hoyer will soon be the house leader. Cheers erupt, Dean looks around, the camera pans, yet there's no sign of either Hoyer or Durbin, they've exited, stage left no doubt.
More important stuff to do like making half-assed apologies I suppose.
