    This Carradine death. Doesn't it sound like he maybe hired a hooker to help him play this game and it all went wrong and she scarpered? Isn't that more likely than murder?

    Team James Franco all the way. He resembles Jeff Buckley enough to make me run see the movie.


    Dear Hollywood: STOP WITH THE REMAKES ALREADY. Sweet baby jam but are you that desperate?! Are there NO good scripts out there? Or are you all "show us the money" even if it comes with crap attached? (I vote the latter.)

    Rosie's quote reminds me of something I read in Kurt Vonnegut book--Hocus Pocus? The main character doesn't swear because "swearing gives people the excuse not to listen to what you say."

    Rosie O'Donell says screaming get you nowhere. I say it depends on what you scream. I once read that if someone attacks you on the street, the best thing to do is to scream fire as opposed to help. If people think their property might go up in flames they will pay attention. If it is just someone getting attacked on the street outside, many will simply ignore it.

He clearly graduated top of the class from the One-Note School of Acting.

    Norway takes half your wages in taxes and is in possession of the world's fifth(?) largest oil field. This is how they can afford to give mothers a year of paid maternity leave and fathers half a year of paid paternity leave.


    So, my dear Emma Thompson, I agree with you. I just don't see Americans or Brits ever agreeing to giving half their wages to the state, although I'm personally very very proud to be paying high taxes. I see a direct correlation between high taxes and my quality of life.

    @MilointheMeadow: Canada also gives parents one combined year (to be defined between mom and dad however they like). But no, I don't see the U.S. ever coming even slightly close. At this point, I'm just working for basic civil rights and hoping we can be slightly less dickish. It's an uphill battle.

    @MilointheMeadow: The US government takes 40% of our wages in taxes, and we get what for it? My husband didn't get paternity leave; brought me home from the hospital with a new baby after a very rough c-section, we were living on an island with no friends or family to help - hell, I couldn't even stand up straight to walk. And he was serving the country in the Navy at the time.

    @KittyKitty Texas-is-bigger-than-France Cat: See, I still think the Norwegians have us beat on taxes, though - besides taking home only half of what they earn, there's also a VAT, sales taxes on absolutely everything, property taxes are sky-high, and all the liquor stores are owned by the state too. It's one of the most expensive places to buy alcohol. On top of that, there are still annual federal taxes like in the States.


    It could be that American taxes come close, though - which is why I emphasize their oil. Because before the 70s and the discovery of the offshore industry, it was a reeeeally tough country to live in, from what I'm told.

    @MilointheMeadow: In the UK we have been treated to the edifying sight of Members of Parliament secretly getting the British public to pay for their castle moat to be cleaned out, duck islands to be made for their ponds, a man to come in and replace the lightbulbs in their house, gardeners for their extensive grounds, new drains to be placed under their tennis courts, chandelieres to be cleaned.These same multi millionaires have usually been the very ones demanding a substantial cut in public expenditure and slashing income tax.

    Seeing as how Britney is sorta the cash cow of the operation, I don't think anyone has a right to complain about what she needs for her own sanity in the backstage area. Can't believe I'm defending Britney Spears but there it is.

    @MilointheMeadow: They have no right to complain full stop. Presumably the backstage passes are gratis anyway. There are a lot of hangers on who have a personal interest in keeping a star hooked on drugs and alcohol. If ever the star became clean and sober the first thing they would probably do would be to drop such low lives.
