The actress who plays Karen’s maid, Rosario, was arrested on suspicion of shoplifting. Shelley Morrison also played on General Hospital, as Mrs. Rodriguez, and (most surprising to me! LOL) was Sister Sixto on “The Flying Nun.” Here’s a link to the story, on my local NBC station’s webpage: [http://www.nbc4.com/entertainment/2160962/detail.html](http://www.nbc4.com/entertainment/2160962/detail.html) Hope that perhaps it is simply a misunderstanding, but if she does have a problem, also hope that she’ll be able to get treatment for it. ---

If it’s good enough for Winona… 😃 ---

Winona Ryder joke: check. Hedy Lamarr joke: coming in for landing. ---

Good. Maybe they’ll cancel that piece of crap show. ---

I just keep it on “mute” till I see Megan Mullaley show up. ---

This strikes me as wholly bizarre. Shelley Morrison has not only been in the business forever, but she’s married to a very, very wealthy man. As far as I know, she’s not a drughead like Winona, so one can only presume that if this is true, she’s got some sort of odd compulsion for which she can be treated. Weird, wild Hollywood. Wow. ---

I can’t help but find all this a little ironic. Isn’t Rosario on the show a little bit of a cleptomaniac? I seem to recall her stealing from Karen. Silverware and that kind of thing. And now the actress has been caught stealing? Too funny. (Shakes head) ---

Maybe she is all into Method acting and is trying to get into character? At least it’s worth a try as a defence at the court. ‘What’s my motivation, baby?’ ---

She was on “Hollywood Squares” pretty recently – clearly she’s on a steep downward spiral. ---

Maybe they’ll cancel that piece of crap show. \*\* I’ll see you that fine wish and raise it with the hope that the “Harold and Maude” [remake](http://www.filmbrats.com/editorials/enoughisenough.html) with this actress and Emilio Estevez will also be scrapped.
