Liz Smith: Farrah and Ryan – The Dark Side

I know just what you mean about Tatum O’Neal’s mother. It is hard to reconcile that lovely lady from the Andy Griffith Show with her real life.

Do you drink coffee?

My mother always swore by her old-fashioned percolator, and would have no other.

Pregnant Drug Trafficker Samantha Orobator Escaped Death Penalty in Laos, Will Be Punished in U.K.

I feel sorry for Samantha Orobator’s baby. What a way to be brought into the world - regardless of the specifics. I would certainly not wish death on Orobator but she did bring her problems upon herself.

And, while I would not necessarily call Ling and Lee’s actions "hostile", I don’t buy the "30 seconds" story either. I agree with DeBurca. They owe a lot of people apologies and should not benefit from their experience in any way.

Mr. wOw Remembers: My First Time With Liz Taylor

"Perhaps we have loved each too much … pray for us."

I love it! Could anyone else get away with a line like that?

Susan Boyle Gets Glamorous Makeover for <i>Harper's Bazaar</i> Photo Shoot

She looks great. Love the new hairstyle.

Liz Smith: Farrah and Ryan – The Dark Side

I can understand that he did not recognise her. I’ve done that, too, though not with immediate family. The creepy part is that he was making a pass at anybody at that particular time.

Liz Smith: Farrah and Ryan – The Dark Side

I was thinking the same thing.

Do you drink coffee?

Like Eldebbo, I drink a couple of cups in the morning, but almost never at any other time. To the best of my knowledge, my husband has never even tasted coffee.

Liz Smith: Farrah and Ryan – The Dark Side

I had given Ryan O’Neal the benefit of the doubt in Farrah’s last days. I knew he had a troubled past and I feared for his future once she was gone. But he seemed so sincere at the time. (Of course, he is an actor). I felt for him and I believed him. Now? I just don’t know. I can’t imagine hitting on anyone at the funeral. It is certainly not an amusing story. I wonder if Griffin might have hit the nail on the head?

Dear Margo: An Unfortunate Draw in the Parent Lottery

LW#1’s ex-girlfriend may have made the situation much worse with the parents than it would have been otherwise (if the young man had been able to sit down and tell his parents himself). But reading your thoughts have made me think that she may be hurting, too. So they are all acting badly as a result. I do agree with others that he needs to get out of the house, for now anyway. Try to keep the lines of communication open, though. Time does help heal a lot of wounds.

Pennsylvania Gym Shooter George Sodini Had Pent-Up Rage Toward Women (Video)

I couldn’t bring myself to watch the video. I always wonder why people like this can’t just do themselves in without taking other innocent people with them. Like Laura Ward, I could sympathize if it weren’t for that.

Liz Smith: Michael Jackson's Bestselling Death

It’s amusing to me that because there was such saturation with the Michael Jackson death and aftermath, some denizens of the more formal, antiquated, old-fashioned press criticized the rest of us for "overkill."

I’m amused that she’s amused.

Liz Smith: Classic Dish on Classic Stars

John, I will grant you that today’s Divas cannot hold a pink lightbulb to the stars of yesteryear. And maybe self-centered is a better term. But I cannot imagine allowing someone to dictate to me what I can wear so as to not outshine the host. And how old I must be to make the cut. I’d have to pass on the invite.

Of course, this is all assuming that Mr. Higham isn’t just blowing hot air. Mr. Riva begs to differ and I suppose he is in a better position to know.

Sarah Palin Psychic Profile: Peggy Rometo on Why Alaska's Former Governor Will Bow Out of 2012 Presidential Election

And when they can’t get an interview with the actual person in question they’ll resort to asking an "intuitive" to give in-depth insight into what’s going on in another person’s head.

I know, right?
