As long as we are just talking second hand remember gossip, I don’t find that hard to believe. I used to listen to a Boston area radio show that interviewed her ex-boyfriend for a long time. He isn’t anybody famous and just flew back and forth to California to see her on the weekends for a couple of years. He said that JLH was pretty normal and lived with her mother and did regular things in her free time. It is possible.

Huh. Sarah Gellar was on the SDMB before I was? Actually, that’s plausible.

Wait, I was a huge Buffy nut in the late 1990’s, & I don’t remember where I heard of the Straight Dope…

I guess I have to change my answer now. I was thinking about it anyway, but that tears it.

I still wouldn’t want to live with Sarah Gellar, but the truth is she’s always meant much much more to me than Love Hewitt. I just picked Love Hewitt because as a former Buffy fan I was long ago completely burned out on all things Gellar, whereas Love Hewitt impinges so little on my consciousness that there’s no long painful memories (Season Six! Agh!) there.

But if SMG somehow indirectly led me to the Straight Dope, well, yeah, she’s far more important to my life so far.

Why of course, that reminds me of that one premier party over at Joss’s. Nathan and Eliza had a few too many and were into their third duet of Space Oddity, and Summer and Charisma were reenacting the fistfight scene from _They Live_ and…

oops. My cover is blown. Mods, delete this please…

I would do Amy Sedaris about six ways from Sunday, actually. Sarah I find kinda meh.

Oh, yeah, definitely changed my answer.

Problem is, SMG scares me. That’s the truth.

I’ve always thought SMG is very beautiful. JLH seems lovely if you aren’t paying much attention, but she seems kind of odd looking if you pay much attention. And I prefer SMG’s funny nose to JLH’s funny ears.
