Apparently, Matthew Broderick decided that the whole success on Broadway thing was eating into valuable Sara Jessica Parker banging time. He may have a point.

I not sure McGowan really counts. I don’t think you can seperate his talent and his self-destruction. I love his music, but I think much of it came from having a hard partying tortured soul. His songs were great because he could put both the misery of life and the denial of it into a song, because he really felt it. A meltdown always seemed inevitable, because of the thing that let him be great in the first place.

Not a bad point, wolfman. Bur still, there’s also a part of me that wonders how great he could have been a _tad_ more sober.
I’m gonna see him live in 2 weeks, BTW. Well, if he shows up. 🙂

George Clooney is also one of those men who just get better looking the older they get.
And yes, he was indeed on “The Facts of Life”. He played George, a handyman who was friends with the girls.
On “Roseanne” he played Booker, Roseanne’s boss during the first season. He also dated her sister Jackie.
Oh, and since ER was mentioned, I have to say: Carter and Luka are HOT!!!
CARTER AND LUKA ARE HOT!!!
