If David Boreanaz and Jaime Bergman's kid is named after Brigitte Bardot, I'm going to be really disappointed.

Randy Quaid and Evi are UTTERLY INSANE. They single handedly prevented a show on an out of town tryout from making it to Broadway and Randy has been banned for life from AEA. It's always fun to meet someone in the theatre community who worked on that show and hear the wild stories.

This is the second time dirt bag has referred to the Mark Twin Prize for comedy. The first time, I just assumed it was a typo and was supposed to be Twain, but twice?

David Boreanaz named his daughter "Bardot"? Another one of those names that seems lovely in theory, but perhaps not so much in practice. "Bar-doh" will provide her classmates with years of jokes and rude puns. (My parents named me "Margo". I suffered mightily on the playground, and by seventh grade I insisted on being called by my middle name. When I tell people now, they say, "Oh, it's such a beautiful name!" Yeah, well, try living with it as a kid.)

@liz.lemonade: seriously? My name is Margo and I have never been taunted about it. The only thing people have ever rhymed with my name is "Fargo".
Like I know I am matching your anecdata with my anecdata and that is pretty much useless but I just felt the need to defend my name.

@liz.lemonade: I cam verrrry very close to being a Margo, apparently. My mom had yo lay down an ultimatum to my dad to stop it. As a kid I was horrified by this thought, but now I quite like the name and don't see why it's a problem.

And I got picked on for my last name instead (a lot) and quite creatively, so fluxus us somewhat right.

I don't know who Aubrey O'Day is, but I may get what she's saying.

To some people, 'brilliant' is a synonym for fantastic, wonderful. To others, it means incredibly intelligent and/or exceptional. Hitler was the opposite of the former, but was undeniably the latter. To rise from simple artist/soldier to dictator of a massive country, and to rebuild it from a shattering war to the extent that it nearly conquered its continent, all in a few years... the achievement is staggering, only someone with a bizarre gift could have achieved this.

The fact that he used every ounce of his being towards hideous, evil ends does not negate the fact that he was a bit of a genius. Most evil dudes end up shooting/raping people and going to jail. Very few actually threaten world domination through political skill and oratory.

@Ailatan: I've been avoiding them because I haven't seen any episodes, including the first season, and I'm terrified of spoilers. Mad Men is next on my list, after Arrested Development (halfway through season 2, thanks to Jezebel, without whom I would miss so much great TV) and luckily my library has the first season of Mad Men. But for season 2, I'll have to obtain it... Differently. Not by breaking federal copyright laws, though! No way! Not this law-abiding citizen!

Hitler was not brilliant. He was insane, and he used people's fears and prejudices to slowly erode their rights until he had complete control. He was clever, but not brilliant. It's not as if he's the first dictator.

@Nariel: Which was "brilliant" in the sense that he set out to do it, and did it. It takes more than "cleverness" to dominate a continent the way he did, the way he did and for as long as he did. He was still an evil shithead, but a brilliant one. "Clever" is the bank teller down the street who becomes a VP.

@moissie: I still would hesitate to call him brilliant, though. I think a truly brilliant person wouldn't have done what he did. Was he brilliant at strategy and manipulation and fear-mongering and fascism? Well, yes. But overall he isn't one of the most brilliant minds in history.

@Nariel: Even though this is basically just a semantics argument, for me, it is pretty simple-- anyone ignorant and biased enough to see whole races/groups of people as evil (as hitler saw the jews) is an idiot. He was a strategist in a somewhat clever way, but he was only taking advantage of a society full of fear and ready to be brainwashed. George Bush and his war on terror has employed a strategy like this- fear mongering-- and that's not brilliant. that's incredibly close minded and ignorant which is mutually exclusive to 'brilliant'. Cult leaders aren't brilliant; they are manipulative and narcissitic. Ronald Reagan and his war on drugs was not brilliant-- he and a team of ruthless people used strategy to convince unthinking people that drug users were evil while at the same time, encouraging the drug trade behind the backs of the public. brilliance does not factor into this at all; brilliance is taking original, intellectual ideas and making them into something innovative and successful. all of these guys listed are simply taking advantage of something that has been around since the beginning of time-- fear, naivete and hate. nothing new there.

@margareita metermaid:
I agree about it being a semantics argument. I don't disagree that he was brilliant in some ways. He was brilliant at deception and cruelty and hatred. He was not someone who can truly be called brilliant. Can we say that he used brilliant strategies? Yes, but he wasn't the first, as you point out. I believe true brilliance takes us forward. It's mainly that I don't like labeling him that way: silly, I know, but I feel we can recognize what he did, without underestimating the power he had, and still refuse to label him as a person 'brilliant'. He was not. I don't know if that makes sense but I hope you get the point I'm trying to make.

Did Lohan see Heidi's playboy cover and think "wow, that looks like a good idea!"
I'm not sure if getting naked will help her career. But I guess if she wants to be like Monroe...
Ugh, how much you want to bet she wants to recreate that shoot?

Why would someone even be asking Aubrey O'Day about Hitler and Castro? How does that even come up??? She is the former member of a moderately successful girl group, not some kind of noted political theorist. If I was a celebrity journalist I would ask every minor pop star what they thought of Hitler and then use it as the headline for every article.

Oh, Shakira. Bully for you, hon, but I used to have mad baby urges in my twenties. Then I hit my thirties and they STOPPED. Cold.
