...replace Kathie Lee? The question is, Did you see The Perfect Storm? The book was much better, don't you think? I think. I think Roger Clemens did (did not) throw at Mike Piazza's head. I think Richard Williams did (did not) order Serena to lose to Venus. Did not. I think Al will choose Darva Conger and George W. will choose Elian Gonzalez ("He's young, speaks Spanish--I don't see any downside"). Is that your final answer, ha, ha, ha. I used to look forward to summer...
...times it's disconcerting--to feel unfamiliar in your own skin, to wake up, as I have, ensnared in a cultural Venus fly trap slowly eating away at your former self.

...round tummy showing--on a divan at the snooty Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills. She is gossiping mercilessly about filmdom's high and mighty (who has a potty mouth, who is a racist), trashing the town's powerful directors, ridiculing scripts (wait till you hear about Hottentot Venus) and dishing just as much about herself--a girl born in Britain, with a plummy British accent and skin the color of caffe latte. Taking tea with Thandie (pronounced Tan-dee) turns out to be a jolt of caffeine straight to the system. Come prepared for opinions slathered with irony...
