I'm glad everyone can come together about Balloon Boy (oh god that's getting old fast - REAL fast) but how about we try to come together for something more important? Healthcare? Peace in the Middle East? Pie? #twitterballoonboy
@Tippi Hedren: She's a celeb who I had no real opinion of before Twitter, and now I really like her. She comes across as genuine and sincere and kind.
She uses her massive following to get the word out on a lot of issues, large and small, global and local, and she's done real good. So, no. Don't find her boring at all. Kind of wish more Twitterers were like her. #twitterballoonboy
Spencer, some people are in Hollywood for a reason other than fame. Talent. Passion. Love of their job. I know it's hard to imagine since YOU DON'T WORK, but really... I forgot where I was going with this. STFU, Prattboy. #twitterballoonboy
@elliebean: "Excuse me. Do you think I can be bothered to glance at the trending topics? I know they're right there, geez. It's just that I only read things that have been written especially for me." #twitterballoonboy
Slightly confused by Carey Mulligan's quote about Nick Hornby's genius understanding of schoolgirl mentality...:
"Set in the 1960s and based on a memoir by Lynn Barber, "An Education" tells the tale of a middle-class suburban London schoolgirl who gets seduced by a much older, jet-setting man (Peter Sarsgaard). It's about cool French songs, slender women in tight-fitting shifts, a teenager's first foray into illicit adult romance and the inevitable shattering of romantic illusions."
I mean, it sounds great and I quite like Nick Hornby and am glad he did a good job adapting the memoir into a screenplay, but give some credit to the source material.
I just want to say that most Australians are completely ashamed of the 'sketch' shown on Hey Hey It's Saturday, and of all the apologists that seem to need to defend it. We do not find it funny, we do not find it acceptable and we are sorry it ever existed.
Unfortunately, Australia, like the US, does have a sub-group of willfully ignorant rednecks, and these are the target audience of this dated and tacky show. I am so sorry that they think this sort of thing is defensible.
@willwriteforfood: Although Angelina does a lot worldwide for children etc, and has come out in favour of gay marriage she also cites Ayn Rand as one of her favorite authors and has said publically Atlas Shrugged "changed" her life.
I get the feeling she may be somewhat of a Libertarian. There are just several snippets out there that make me think she may lean toward some of her Dad's ideas.
(And I agree with you on the Jon Voight's "social conscience". Dude is scary.)
Valerie, there is nothing wrong with a big slice of pizza. The key is moderation. It also doesn't hurt to be active. Denying yourself, however, will only set yourself up for failure. Trust me, I learned that one the hard way.

I wonder where Jon Voight's social conscience went when he went off the rails and turned into a birther.
