Star Wars
It's been a long, dry spell without any true train-wrecking notoriety from public personas since Tom Cruise's War of the Worlds went more buster than block and most of us peons are back to asking "Katie who?". Oh, sure, for a while there was a bit of a juicy distraction in the Angelina/Brad/Jen thing - surely I can't be the only person in America thinking 'Taylor/Fischer/Reynolds" here. Or can I? Angelina is definitely the Elizabeth Taylor bad girl - which only makes the career get better if you play it as the misunderstood villainess. Jennifer Aniston is such a ringer for goody-two-shoes Debbie Reynolds that it's silly. And Eddie Fischer? Well, Liz dumped him pretty quickly, that's for sure. I would tend to caution Mr. Pitt that he should remember what happened to good ol' Eddie. That's right, nobody remembers.
Alas, things just aren't nearly as horrifically interesting as when Tom jumped on Oprah's sofa and then didn't even bother to offer to clean it (although, according to O Magazine, Oprah's glad he didn't because now they can auction off the couch for charity. Geez, I soooo wanna be her!).
Hope something juicy comes up, or I'm reduced to watching the squirrel feeder...or the empty mailbox.

You blogged too soon. It seems Katie Holmes has a little Christian Scientist in her, and I'm not talking about Tom Cruise. (you didn't just say that)
Yes the young Miss Holmes is cooking up a little couch jumper of her own, that's right she's pregnant.
spoke too soon...or tempted the fates? hmm.....
Umm. What's in a name?
Just for the record. Tom Cruise is an adherent of Scientology founded by Ron Hubbard. A Christian Scientist is not the same bird as a scientologist. The Christian Science movement was founded by Mary Baker Eddy in 1879 and calls Boston its home. Religions and denominations....there's too many too count, even I have a hard time keeping them sorted out.
Hmm, a squirrel feeder? Honest, Warbler!
Hey, sam, up hereaways they even sell bags of deer food at the local Lowe's (did I hear a collective gasp from the Block Island Gardeners?). Don't worry, though, there's still frogs in my pond (or, as I like to call it, the mosquito factory) and I did buy a bird feeder, too.
Wow, just like home! You know, about a quarter of the farmland down here in TX is to grow feeder corn for ... you quessed it, Bambi. Some is high in aflotoxin so read the label! But it is fun to watch the squirrels and blue jays bark at each other. It rates up there with old Peyton Place re-runs. Ryan O'Neill and Allie McGraw, right?
Makes me want to walk like a camel!

Geez Sam , That last comment went right over my head. What does it mean to walk like a camel and how and why would you want to do that? I've tried all the different conotations(sp) of one or two humps(whoops!), spitting on people, bad breath, two bricks used for filling the water tank! Nothing! Enlighten por favore!
Oh, Everett, I'm sorry but that's from a song by a band called Southern Culture on the Skids - a band your kids might know for it's only real hit, "Walk Like a Camel."
As with many modern songs, it made very little sense ("Can I have that quarter underneath your shiny boot ... just one more Little Debbie ... makes me want to want walk ... like a camel") but the younger folks loved to dance to it. The expression meant you were happy, I suppose, not the nasty animal itself.
OK, I'm not doing very well here; maybe Warbler and her daughter could help me out. ~sam
Oh no, sam, this is very much a sink or swim kind of operation. Besides...I don't know the song and neither does she. Now, if you had asked me to Walk Like An Egyptian...well, even the teen knows that one!!! Or, I could Just Walk Away Renee, Walk On By, Take a Walk on the Wild Side, or even go Walkin' After Midnight. More than one way to hump a camel...wait, that didn't come out right.
Jeez, maybe you're not near Mississippi or Missouri anymore, Warbler! Try this link:

Under band and discography scroll WAY down to "Camel Walk" (MP3) and click.
Yes, it is the Egyptian.
