Lily Tomlin Gets a Lesson in Class

Well, how very kind of you to help others out.

Lily Tomlin Gets a Lesson in Class

I went to a private school from first through eigth grades because my mother didn’t feel comfortable sending me to the local public school. We didn’t have hardly any money while I was growing up and the kids at the private school lived in McMansions. I remember getting made fun of for wearing shoes from Kmart (the girls literally snickered at me). These were kids who didn’t understand the value of a dollar and had parents who bought them designer clothes and expensive toys—if the kid looked at it, the parents bought it.

I was hurt then by the way these kids were given everything because I had so little. But, nowadays it seems unfair for people to buy lavish things of any kind when some can’t even afford to eat.

It’s unfortunate that our society is build around this model that make the rich richer and the poor poorer. 

Candice Bergen Remembers Telling Her Daughter About the Birds and Bees

I’ve never heard a vagina called a "zizi" before. Where did that name come from? I had a similar reaction when my mother told me. Needless to say, my point of view hasn’t changed much;)

Liz Smith: Lindsay Lohan – Nobody's 'Over' at 23

I’ve loved Lindsay Lohan since seeing her in 1998’s remake of The Parent Trap. I think this young woman is quite the ingenue and has great promise. Yes, she’s had her share of public scrutiny and she’s made some mistakes, but she’s human. People sometimes forget that not everything they read in the paper or online is the absolute truth, and there is no reason to hate on Lindsay so much. I really see great roles in her future and I’ll be rooting for her every step of the way. Just my two cents.

Candice Bergen on the 'Miracle' First Family

Actually, it was Bush’s eight years in the office that brought debt to us, not Obama. If anything, Obama is trying to remedy an impossible economic situation brought on by an extremely moronic Bush. It’s going to take more than six months of hard work in the oval office to bring us out of financial death. In fact, it may take multiple terms for the problem to be fixed.

Considering what the Republicans did to this country, they have no right to criticize the current administration. 

Candice Bergen's Bathing Suit Alternatives

You have a fabulous figure, you should show it off!

Candice Bergen's Most Spectacular Beauties List

I completely agree! Jane Fonda is absolutely stunningly gorgeous, and Diane Sawyer is beyond radiant. Both of them look about 20 years younger than their actual age.

Anne Bancroft was Mrs. Robinson for a reason;)

Candice, you are incredibly attractive, too! I’m 100% positive Denny Crane agrees with me on that one:D

Lily Tomlin (aka Tommy Velour) Remembers Michael Jackson in Her Own Special Way (Video)

Watching Paris say goodbye to her father was heartbreaking. I couldn’t keep the tears from streaming down my face. It was quite a moving memorial service.

It’s when sudden losses like that of MIchael Jackson that I remember those performers and artists who mean the world to me: Lily, thank you for the laughter, you are a remarkable talent with the most insightful wisdom. Your comedy is a bright, shiny light that brings true happiness to millions of people. You truly are an amazing individual. 

I’ve even had the pleasure of meeting with you a few times and I will forever cherish those moments. Keep the laughter and insight coming, Lily! 

Candice Bergen Tackles 1,000 Pages of French – and More

I’ve had mutliple people tell me to read The Face on Your Plate. I think if I end up reading that book I’ll inevitably become a vegan, or at least a vegetarian.

Jane Fonda’s My Life So Far is a really interesting, impressive read. I highly recommend it. Oh and anything by Augusten Burroughs. He’s witty, bold, often crass, but I adore his books.

ebay, half.com, amazon.com (independent sellers). I believe I purchased my copy for 1 cent plus shipping.

Candice Bergen Will Spend Her Time Outside

I’m looking forward to the summer "blockbusters" that will soon be coming to theatres. Bike riding and walking the dogs sound delightful. Enjoy your weekend!

Liz Smith: Jane Fonda – She's Finally 'Legit' at Sardi's

I have a friend in Afghanistan right now. I believe he’s mentioned that it’s worse there than in Iraq. Honestly, I have zero clue as to why we’re in the Middle East. It’s high time that all the troops be brought back home because these soldiers are losing their lives…and it’s completely unnecessary. I truly hope your son comes home, and soon. I wouldn’t blame you for suing the government. There’s a film out called Stop Loss, where the main character does the same thing (sues the US). I’ll look for the documentary you mentioned. Sounds fascinating.

Candice Bergen on Why She Loved Playing Murphy Brown

Candice, I would never think of you as being a push-over. Granted, I don’t know you, but from the characters you’ve played (I’m thinking mostly of Murphy and Shirley), you seem to be a rather strong woman, direct and confident.

 Bullies are the worst, though, aren’t they? Ugh. I tried to tell myself that they picked on other because of how insecure they felt inside, but there are those few who I think were genuinely content with making others miserable. 

Liz Smith: Jane Fonda – She's Finally 'Legit' at Sardi's

I agree, war is a last resort. War is easy, peace is hard. I’m sorry about your brother. I have friends currently over in Iraq and some of the stories they’ve told me…I can’t even beging to imagine what the soldiers are going through.
