 | Important Warning to Men! If you have a wife, fiancee or girlfriend, drop whatever you're doing and make plans to be out of town next weekend with the guys. I cannot stress this enough. Lie if you must - go stay at a Motel 6 and drink 40-ouncers alone all weekend if needbe. Just get away. Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason is being released November 12th, a week early. And trust me, your little lady already knows. |  |
|  | My siblings and I got into plenty of mischief growing up. Take the time my brother and I found my little sister's Cabbage Patch Doll, slung a belt around its neck, and hung it from the top bunkbed in her bedroom with a handmade "Feed Me" sign taped to its dress. I can still hear my sister's scream of horror when she discovered the doll. Sorry, Lorraine.
Funny thing, though. None of us ever got together and did anything illegal. Like shoplift Twinkies or, you know, spam millions of AOL customers. |
|  | Deep down in that corner of your soul you reserve for such things as the hope that hot fudge ice cream sundaes will someday be found to be an effective way to prevent cancer, there is, for many of us, the fantasy that the final Star Wars film won't totally suck.
Well, last week Lucasfilm released the teaser poster for the May 2005 film. And if it's any indication of how the movie's going to turn out, it looks like I've only got hot fudge sundaes to keep me going for a while. (But by all means, go ahead and "join the excitement" with a $14 teaser-art mug.) |  |
|  | Nick and Jessica are just fine, thank you. "Our relationship is better than it's ever been," says Jessica. "We are absolutely not breaking up." While I'm not yet 100% fluent in celebrity double-speak, I'm pretty certain this means they're breaking up. |  |
|  | With "The Simpsons" kicking off Season 16 this Sunday night, AP writer Lynn Elber walks us through a table reading of a new episode and reports that the cast has been signed through season 19. Executive producer Al Jean thinks at least 20 seasons is likely - that way, the show would match "Gunsmoke" as the longest-running scripted primetime show in history. Twenty seasons. Wow, that would be just amazing. Especially when you think of how many shows don't even make it to 20 episodes - like such gems as Guys Like Us (13 episodes), The Brian Benben Show (9 episodes), Dr. Vegas (5 episodes), and - if God is at all merciful - Father of the Pride (1 too many). |  |
|  | Rather Him Retire - Kevin Cooney, a producer here at iWon, lists a bunch of Dan Ratherisms from election night on his hunter-green-colored blog. Reading through them, you wonder why Rather isn't certifiably nuts. A reader comment in response to Kevin's post says it best: "Wow. I am starting to think the guy who attacked [Rather] shouting 'What's the frequency, Kenneth?' is the sane one." |  |
