Soft ginger cookies, sugar cookies, orange chocolate chip cookies, chocolate mint cookies, and probably some peanut butter cookies for hubby.
See ya' 'round.....but in case I don't: MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!
Good luck IG with both the kiddies and finding your jacket.
Today I'm taking care of our son who had his wisdom teeth removed yesterday. He's a trooper.
NEW YORK, Dec. 20 /PRNewswire/ -- Former President Bill Clinton and his wife, Hillary Rodham Clinton, are the top celebrities in the nation's First Annual Tabloid Choice Awards, sponsored by the nation's top celebrity tabloids, National Enquirer, Star and Globe.
"These awards are the ultimate measure of who's been naughty or not so nice," said Steve Coz, Editorial Director of the tabloids. "The editors counted up stories in the nation's tabloids and the Clintons got way more than anyone else this year. Competition from the world of show business was tough, but the Clintons led the pack all the way. The Clintons can't stay out of the spotlight and readers just can't get enough about them."
The full rundown on the Awards will be in the editions of National Enquirer, Star and Globe coming on newsstands this weekend.
The Star said the Clintons got the top Tabby "for demonstrating that power really is the greatest aphrodisiac ... and for staying together in spite of it."
Latina celebrity Jennifer Lopez was second in the Awards. The Enquirer said that J.Lo's "rocky love life put the tabloid spotlight" on her and asked, "Is she happy with new love Ben Affleck?"
Songbird Britney Spears came in third, the Star noting that while "she supposedly was a good girl saving herself for marriage," revelations "about her romance with Ben Affleck" show that "Britney has left her innocent past behind."
Former Michigan Girl Madonna came in fourth, the Enquirer noting that while "the Material Girl has a new baby, a new man in her life and a new home in Britain ... what she doesn't have is a hit movie."
Comedian Rosie O'Donnell came in fifth, the Star awarding her a Tabby " ... for the star who could fit Lara Flynn Boyle and Debra Messing in her sweatpants ... and enjoy it."
Honorable mentions in the Awards went to runners-up Julia Roberts, Oprah Winfrey, Ben Affleck (purported boyfriend of No. 2 winner J.Lo and No. 3 Britney Spears), Tom Cruise, Halle Berry, Gwyneth Paltrow, Jennifer Aniston, Eminem, Michael Jackson and Calista Flockhart.
The top five winners will receive awards from the tabloids to mark their distinction, Mr. Coz said. [wish I could see hillary's face when she receives hers!] Link
Murray said in a statement Friday that Vance and other critics were twisting her words.
"Having a challenging and thoughtful discussion about Americas future reflects the best values of a free democracy; to sensationalize and distort in an attempt to divide is not," she said.
Murray's spokesman, Todd Webster, called the senator a victim of a right-wing media machine.
"This is being turned into a circus by the right-wing media outlets and fed by right-wing haters," Webster said.
Asked if he included Vance in that category, Webster said, "Absolutely. I include Vance and the right-wing media and the right-wing establishment." For the rest of the story
"TRENT Lott called," George Clooney announced at a screening of his "Confessions of a Dangerous Mind" at the Paris Theater the other night. "He said he didn't mean anything when he said, 'Have a white Christmas!' " Page Six

CALL it Gumbelgate. HBO sportscaster Bryant Gumbel is under fire for not disclosing his own membership in an all-male golf club when he interviewed the chief critic of the Augusta National Golf Club's all-male membership policy.
Martha Burk, who chairs the National Council of Women's Organizations, said Gumbel admitted to her off-camera that he was a member of the exclusive Burning Tree Club in Bethesda, Md., while profiling her on "Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel," in an installment to air Tuesday on HBO.
"I told him it was wrong and he shouldn't [belong to the club]," Burk said. "He mentioned it to me and I said, 'Bryant, you're wrong to do this. It's the wrong kind of statement to make not only to the public but also to your own daughter. I think you need to reconsider what you're doing in terms of the public statement that it makes.' "
Mountaineer, please help me out here. Isn't this tournament played at Augusta every year? If so then why does Burke come out now with all this whining? Because a republican is president would be my guess.
| Look..I've had some adventures and times in my life I'm not proud of, but I've never, ever thrown up a tree. |
Bad mushrooms, lousy steak sandwiches, Denny's omelets, but never a tree...
Does Martha Burk believe that all-female organizations like Girl Scouts are "wrong" for Gumbel's daughter, too? The Masters has been played at Augusta for years and years, since the Bobby Jones days, as far as I know. There's absolutely no reason for this woman - whom I doubt represents a dozen women, let alone the millions she claims - to raise this issue now except, as you noted, that the left wing is desperate to find fault somewhere in the midst of a popular president's term. Hootie Johnson's big mistake was in responding to her initial complaint. He sent a three-page reply when, at the most, he should have sent a note saying, "Thanks for your concerns. Bye."
The day Martha Burk or any lefty busybody with no moral compass tells me that what I'm doing is wrong would be the day I actually smack someone silly.
How you can tell an actress' star has faded - she does a naked PETA ad:
Christina Applegate has teamed up with the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals to do a saucy Christmas card for the organization. Applegate is featured on the front wearing little else but red and green mittens, with the motto, "Fur: Get Me Not." (page six)
Good Grief! I'm sure glad I'm not on their list.
Wasn't that what killed Eule Gibbons?
"But men and women, getting along, it's a joke. We have completely different brains, it's a completely different thing."
-Christina Applegate (on relationships)
Genius.
