Anna Nicole should get Lifetime Achievement in this category. Not so sure about Cher though. And even less so about Sharon Stone, who is reputedly quite intelligent (at least, that’s what I’ve read and/or heard:) ) ---

Depending on the dog, it’s quite a common thing. ---

Ashton Kutcher was on Leno the other night. His real life persona is almost totally indistinguishable from Michael Kelso. He’s a _little_ brighter than Kelso. A little. ---

My favorite quote about Jennifer Love Hewitt, from [this page](http://www.jabootu.com/slashers.htm): > [@](#): > > Check out just about any interview she’s done and wonder why zillions were spent on putting the Hubble telescope into deep space when NASA can talk to Jennifer Love Hewitt for free. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Intaglio \* > \*\*I nominate Whitney Houston. \*\* I second the nomination. Yesterday, Bobby Brown had to appear in court here in Atlanta for violation of probation stemming from a DUI conviction. He didn’t show up for a probation hearing, and was areested last week while he and Whitney were having dinner in an Atlanta restaurant. He faced six months in the county lockup as a maximum sentence. Whitney was there in the front row standing behind her man as Bobby explained to the judge that he’s only human, he’d been taking medication, he was depressed over the death of a family member, etc., and generally pleading with the judge not to put him in the pokey when _ **Whitney’s cell phone rang!** _ And then, what did Whitney do? _ **SHE TOOK THE CALL!!** _ Can you think of anything that would piss a judge off more?? btw, Bobby didn’t get six months - he got nine days. I shudder to think what would have happened to me if I blew off a probation hearing. I’d still be UNDER the jail! ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by BogieBlanca \* > \*\*What catagories are those? > \*\* Actor/Actress Singer/Entertainer. Those four. Jealous…IMO she was absolutely beautiful; I always loved her hair and her looks. But then those aren’t exactly something we can take all the credit for, eh? Nor do I feel jealous because someone is more beautiful than I; they are who/what they are. I always appreciated my own intelligence above looks, and no that doesn’t mean I’m ugly. Sonny Bono, now; there was a smart man. I admire him quite a bit and IMO she owes a hell of a lot of it to him. ---

Whitney Houston is being unfairly singled out for remaining attracted to an abusive asshole. Most attractive women behave similarly, celebrity or otherwise. ---

Am I the only one to remember Farah Fawcett on Letterman? I want her as the runner up to Anna Nicole, who really should be disqualified, since she must’ve done _something_ to jazz up her stupidity before entering the competition. No one is _that_ dense. Freddie Prinze Jr. wins in the men’s league, without any problems. ---

I think Cher fully acknowledges her debts to Sonny. There were times when she absolutely couldn’t stand him (and after her tearful eulogy she filed a $1 million+ action against his estate for monies she alleged he owed her in unpaid child support and royalties [which she later dropped, possibly upon finding out he wasn’t as rich as everybody thought {his estate was valued at just over $1 million} and he had small children to provide for), but I think she always credited him with her introduction to stardom, and claims to have always found him sexy even though he was “plug ugly” (her words). Tina Turner acknowledges her debt to Ike as well, but chalks it up as “Paid in Full plus interest”. ---
