Both Nicole Kidman and Gywenth Paltrow are intelligent enough to know that you don’t have to show up at some "red carpet" event half out of the outfit you’re supposedly wearing to make a good impression. They are both blessed with classic good looks and a obvious sense of self esteem. More power to both of them!

What I know about adoption is that I have SIX first cousins I would not have if it were not for adoption. My life would not have been as happy without them. My blessings and support goes out to anyone and everyone who brings adoption about and to those who unselfishly open their hearts and homes to children who need them so much.

I’d like to think that Whitney Houston has had to own up to so much of her own behavior and choices that she is keeping an eye on herself. One thing is for certain Whitney’s former ways and former associates were not working! I think she is and was smart enough to know that all along.

I seriously wish that people who not consider Lindsay Lohan as a "gift that keeps on giving". Some of the others labeled actually went out of their way to deserve it. In Lindsay Lohan we have a badly troubled girl who came from badly troubled background. She didn’t "desrve" the parents she got. A stage mother determined to live off the talents of her children, which in Lindsay’s case are considerable. An alcholic father, hopefully now recovering, who terrorized the family the entire time Lindsay was growing up! How do you get NORMAL out of that. I realize she is now a full grown adult, but unless and until someone takes her under their wing, shows her true respect and gives her a sense Lindsay and not Lindsay the actor who who they care about things will never be improved. Look what dad’s "take over" has done for Britney Spears! Not the parents, in Lindsay’s case, but someone solid who will help improve her life! As regards Hal Hollbrook I couldn’t agree more on what a fine actor and a fine man he is!!

You’re more than welcome, always nice to be able to help. It’s a pretty good musical and Tune is tremendous as you might easily imagine. Enjoy!

Hi E Actually your chances are very good! All you have to do is get a copy of Hello Dolly starring Barbra Streisand and Walter Matthau and looke for Ermangard’s boyfriend! It’s the imcomparable Tommy Tune!!

One very important song, because all of us need to come to terms with WHO we actually are and make our peace with that. But more important is to realize what gift we can give to the world at large, with the gift of WHO we are.

In the case of John Edwards I find his behavior slightly more despicable than Letterman’s. Mr. Edwards kept on denying that there was any possibility he was the father of that baby. He knew the truth, he had to. So to keep on keeping on with a lie is just plain arrogant and stupid. Letterman, on the other hand, was obviously NEVER gonna tell anybody anything. He had to be backed into a solid corner before he was going to"come clean". Both of them have shown that they have no real honor when it comes to long term commitments in marriage. My heart goes out to both wives in this and every other situation like this one.

I don’t suppose there is a clear path when making a decision to stay or go when a relationship has been damaged by an affair. On the one hand you have someone (male or female) who has destroyed your trust. On the other hand you have created a life with that person and there may be children involved. In the event that there are, I think it’s important to be as honest with them as their age allows you to be. If you decide to stay you have to tell them there’s been a terrible mistake made and daddy and mommy are trying to make it better. When you seperate you also cause the children involved to lose some of the trust and security they are entitled to. On the other hand, if someone has truly ruined your own sense of security and trust you have to figure out what will make it better for you. Men, supposedly "in power", make this kind of mistake all too easily. It does all of us well to remember the truth of the adage: "What you do in the dark, comes up in the light." We certainly have had our share of dark to light transformations lately. My heart goes out to anyone caught in this hurtful, scary situation.

I agree with you deber B. Madonna has set out to put herself in the "misunderstood" position she may find herself in. She was out to throw herself at any and every male that crossed her path. How on earth can you create a "credible life" with an attitude and behavior pattern like that? I will say that those in the entertainment industry have to have problems with knowing who to trust and who actually cares about them as a person. Britney Spears certainly evidenced that before her parents finally and wisely intervened. Currently no one is more in evidence of that than Lindsay Lohan! The picture of her on one of the fan magazines last week red-eyed and clearly crying broke my heart. Such a good kid, so much potential  and SO LOST. Madonna on the other hand has certainly "reaped what she’s sown".

Here in the midwest we had a wonderful family restaurant called Bill Knapps. They had a vegetable soup that they somehow found in my grandmother-in-law’s recipe box or vice versa. In any case, for reasons never completely understood they were "in business" one day and closed the next. It’s a real loss to all of us who truly enjoyed the meals to be had at Bill Knapps

They also have them in Ohio. It’s a case of either relocate or e mail Hostess about your personal favorite! It’s my guess they’d be glad to know they have another market to approach.

I have yet to figure Victoria Beckham out. Maybe that’s true for her too! All I know is that she does keep and promote an image that makes hugging the Statue of Liberty more probable. She and the husband did the spread in W Magazine a while back and I was wondering what they were trying to prove there too. If a relationship is precious to you and if you have respect for it, it is NOT necessary to or advisable to blast it all over the world. It’s YOURS NOT EVERYONE ELSE’S! People in the public eye get enough scrutiny the way it is. What’s the point of asking for more? If, on a more personal level,  she really wants people to think of her as something more than "a moody bitch" she might want to try not looking like one.
