...felt bad that you called me quirky and deemed two of my movies "box-office poison." But then I noticed in the same issue you said that Dennis Rodman's sometime religion is "Moron" and that Farrah Fawcett has Jell-O for brains. Now I realize it's still an honor to be mentioned in such a classy magazine...
...began to think she had good taste in men. This recent embrace of wide-leg pants implies something totally different, however. When I think of wide-leg pants, I don’t think of hipster celebrities or debauched 80s icons, I think of sailors. I also think of Farrah Fawcett and this bizarre time in 5th grade where I wore purple velvet overalls to school.

A naturalized U.S. citizen who became a U.S. Marine in 1987 and served in Somalia in 1992, Aidid succeeded his father, Mohammed Farrah Aidid, as leader of a Saad clan militia after he was killed in 1996.

Eighteen U.S. special forces were killed, and the world community's involvement in Somalia effectively ended. What followed was a decade and a half of intermittent war that reduced Mogadishu to rubble. Along the "green line," the architectural gem of the former Italian colony that bore the brunt...
...World War II. It was only a matter of time before actors realized the potential profits behind being such successful marketing tools for beauty brands, and before long, Judy Garland and Joan Crawford signed on to appear in magazine advertisements for Max Factor in the '30s and '40s. Although Farrah Fawcett sold untold amounts of Wella Balsam conditioner in the '70s and L'Oréal has had a revolving army of actors proclaiming "Because I'm worth it" for four decades, the cachet of the beauty endorsement had been on the wane since the late '80s and early '90s.
