Love Him, Hate Her. She left him months later due to the fact that he HAS TALENT.

I think she wanted a refund

[TigersEye]

:) You’re a good sport.

My mother deserved a lot more than a refund.

[livius]

Probably. I don’t see anything wrong with the story, although now MLK is regarded as lower than dirt (because he wasn’t a separatist) so she’s taking the chance of being canceled.

[beethovenfan]

Her mouth is too big.

[SuperLuminal]

Hogwash Alert!

Michael King — who changed his name to Martin Luther to try to co-opt come religious gravitas — was a socialist and a serial adulterer.

Deal with it.

[Seaplaner]

Your point is excellent, my good FRiend.

My mother waa born in the late 30’s. Bill was $35 in an tiny hospital in a rural area with no insurance. Mr child was born in the early 80s by csection with no insurance and cost $4500.

Julia Roberts is from Smyrna, GA. A suburb of Atlanta. She did not grow up rich. Her brother Eric Roberts made it in show business and he helped Julia get into acting.

Like that a nice way to say piss off

Last time I saw a mouth like hers it had a hook in it.

“The life that I have built with my husband, [and] the life that we’ve built with our children, that’s the best stuff,” she said. “To come home at the end of the day, triumphantly, to them.”

First they had to dump and humiliate his first wife. I'll never forget seeing pix of Julia wearing a t-shirt with a message shaming the first wife for not signing off on the divorce promptly enough to suit them. Hollywood privilege.

I'm glad they have stayed married for a long while; but if she had an ounce of common courtesy, she would zip it rather than boast about their wonderful marriage and kids.

[Albion Wilde]

I call BS. Maybe the King’s tuition money for their kids ENABLED the Roberts parents to pay their hospital bill, but I doubt that the bill was even discussed except in those terms — “I’m so grateful y’all enrolled your kids when you did — we didn’t know how we woulda paid the hospital without it.”
