...guest appearances that Legend used on his first album to help establish himself as a top-shelf artist are definitely missed in this attempt.

...that Allen's new film is pretty lame does not exactly qualify as a, well, scoop. That verdict has become distressingly routine.

...deliberately make two family movies back to back? No, Barnyard I did when I was breast-feeding. I also did a cameo then in The Longest Yard. Some people are disappointed when they see that parts of me have gone back to their original size...
