You'd think by now, Jessica Simpson would be using the power of a hand-held mirror to be checkin' the back of her head? Once again, the hair piece doesn't even remotely match her own hair. In all honesty, it looks like Barbie doll hair.

Just look at that Jennifer Lopez, smacking those lips of Johnny Depp's. I guess she wanted to see if Keira Knightley was telling the truth, when she was quoted as saying that Johnny was a good kisser. The two were spotted at the Children's Hospital event this past weekend. Where was hubby, Marc?

1940 : John Lennon's birthday
John Lennon is born in Liverpool, England. As part of the Beatles and as a solo artist, Lennon became one of the most influential musicians in rock history.
As a boy, Lennon lived with his aunt after his father left the family. Lennon attended Quarry Bank High School, from which he derived the name for his first band, the Quarrymen, formed in 1955. In 1956, he met Paul McCartney, who joined the band, and the two began writing songs together. George Harrison joined the band in 1957, and the three played together under several different names, and with several different members, until 1960, when they adopted the name the Beatles.
The band toured German beerhouses in 1961 and debuted later that year at the Cavern Club in Liverpool, where they gave more than 300 performances during the next two years. Drummer Ringo Starr joined the group in 1962. The group scored several U.K. hits in 1963, launching the Beatlemania tidal wave that hit the United States in 1964. In a little more than 10 years, the group transformed rock and roll, scoring 20 No. 1 hits on the Billboard pop charts, more than any group in history. The group's records spent a total of 59 weeks topping the charts between 1964 and 1970.
Lennon divorced his first wife, Cynthia Lennon, the mother of his son Julian, and married artist Yoko Ono in 1969. With Ono, he released the album Two Virgins in 1968. He became more involved in liberal political causes and in pursuing projects with Ono and decided to leave the Beatles. In 1970, McCartney announced that the Beatles had broken up. Lennon released his first solo album, Imagine, in 1971, and it rose to No. 1 on the charts. During the next few years, he released projects with Ono as well as his own solo albums, including the chart-topper Walls and Bridges (1974).
He gave his last public performance in 1974 and released his last solo album, Rock 'n' Roll, the following year. In 1975, Lennon and Ono had a son, Sean, and in 1980 the couple released their album Double Fantasy, which topped the charts and included the No. 1 single "(Just Like) Staring Over."
On December 8, 1980, Lennon was killed by a crazed fan in front of his New York City apartment.
It appears that Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie have decided they are done "jerking their fans chains". Don't you feel used?
The feud between "The Simple Life" co-stars Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie appears to be over.source: TMZ
TMZ cameras were there as Paris and Nicole broke bread (or beef) at Dan Tana's Steakhouse in West Hollywood last night. The pair arrived together in Paris' Range Rover and caused a frenzy at the front door not seen since Mikhail Gorbachev and Ronald Reagan met in Geneva in 1985. And after their meal, the newly reunited pair shared a little tender text-messaging time on a bench at the valet stand before zooming off into the night.
The co-stars have been in a very public feud for some time now, some say triggered when Nicole Richie had a party and showed Paris' infamous sex tape to her guests. The spat spilled out onto their show and onto the social scene -- but whispers of a detente between the two celebutantes have been circulating. Still, this is the first time the pair have been seen out together in months. And, as TMZ observed, the two seemed to enjoy each other's company and to be glad to put their feud to rest.
The question now is -- will Paris shake with Shanna Moakler?
Yesterday, a randomly selected number of Mariah Carey fans were invited to attend a special pre-concert taping at the Honda Center (formerly known as the Arrowhead Pond of Anaheim) in Anaheim, California. Mariah ended up performing one song... and lip-synching a couple others.
It appears that the purpose of this event was to include fans, regulate the lighting, and review other technical aspects in preparation for tonight's actual concert taping. It is believed that tonight's concert as well as the fans' involvement will be included in a CD/DVD release.
Her fans felt ripped off and used.

Everyone's favorite junkie couple may be procreating if Kate Moss has anything to say about it.
According to the Sunday Mirror (that oh-so-credible news source) Kate Moss is desperate to have Pete Doherty's baby. She wants Lila (you know, the daughter who she never seems to spend anytime with) to have a brother or sister. What does this mean for Pete's fans? Well according to Kate he'll have to stop touring, so you might want to sort out that refund.
This is after he's already cancelled a few tour dates due to "not being ready, so soon after rehab" and being caught on camera totally wasted. Why would you want the likes of him to father your child?

Sean Taro Ono Lennon (aka Sean Ono Lennon, born October 9, 1975) is the son of musicians and peace activists John Lennon and Yoko Ono (making Kyoko Chan Cox and Julian Lennon his half-siblings). His father was an Englishman of Welsh and Irish ancestry, and his mother is Japanese. He was born in New York City on his father's 35th birthday. After Sean's birth, John became a house husband, doting on his young son until his murder in 1980.
He's 31!
His first appearance on record was on Ono's album Season of Glass (1981), reciting a story that his father used to tell him. At the age of 9, he performed the song "It's Alright" on the Yoko Ono tribute album Every Man Has A Woman (1984). Later in life, his initial efforts as a serious musician were collaborations: he appeared on Lenny Kravitz's album Mama Said (1991), formed backing-band IMA for his mother's album Rising (1995), and has collaborated with the New York-based Japanese duo Cibo Matto, as well as the heavy metal band Soulfly.
Through his association with Cibo Matto, he was approached by the Beastie Boys' Adam Yauch, who expressed an interest in Sean's music. His debut solo album, Into the Sun, was released in 1998 on the Beastie Boys' record label, Grand Royal Records, and garnered positive reviews. Regarding Grand Royal, Sean has said, 'I think I found the only label on the planet who doesn't care who my parents are and what my name is. It's a good feeling to know that I wouldn't have gotten the offer if they wouldn't have liked my songs. That's pretty rare in the music business!' A music video for "Home", one of the album's tracks, was directed by Spike Jonze.
In 1999, Sean's EP Half Horse, Half Musician - compilation of outtakes and remixes from Into The Sun - was released; the Japanese version contained the bonus track "Into the Sun (Moog Remix)". He also made a guest appearance on the underground, hip-hop collaborations,, Deltron 3030, working with Del Tha Funkee Homosapien and Dan Nakamura, singing the bridge to the song "Memory Loss".
He has also appeared on records by Handsome Boy Modeling School, Money Mark, and Ben Lee, and with musicians such as Josh Haden. He provided an introduction to a song on the Jurassic 5 album Quality Control. Past girlfriends include Yuka Honda (of Cibo Matto with whom he lived from 1996 to 1999), Bijou Phillips, Leelee Sobieski, and Elizabeth Jagger (daughter of Mick Jagger).
After Grand Royal Records' demise in 2001, Sean signed with Capitol Records, yet no material surfaced until early February 2006 on his website. A song called "Dead Meat" is to be his first single (with a video recorded and scheduled to be released) from his new album Friendly Fire. The new album will be released in October 2006 on Capitol Records. A promotional trailer leaked online in the Spring of 2006 on youtube.com that featured several clips from music videos that accompany each track on the new album. The video features Bijou Phillips, Lindsay Lohan, and Harper Simon.
His official website is now up, equipped with a message board where Sean has posted a few messages.And... Guess who's getting his ass kicked? Yes.. of course, Perez Hilton himself! Mr. Hilton is begging for help on his site. Won't you help him? AOL HERE.
While Beyonce hasn't responded to Hilton's attacks yet, some of her other critics have been handed some harsh words lately -- from none other than Mama and Papa Knowles! In August, B's dad wrote a letter firing back at those "creating chaos" around her album release, and just last week, her mom chewed out at a reporter that dare criticize her clother line. Can a retalliation at Perez be too far off?
While no celeb is safe from Perez Hilton's biting criticism, the blogger has been particularly brutal to B over the past few months. From hating on her videos and fashion line to attacking her armpits (ew!), Perez just won't let the bootylicious diva out the crosshairs. Does P have a point, or is he being unfairly vicious to Ms. Knowles?
Paris Hilton is the most over-exposed celebrity that the public wants to see less of. A survey conducted by Forbes.com showed the public has grown tired seeing the star of "A Simple Life."

Matthew Paige Damon (born October 8, 1970) is an Academy Award-winning Americanscreenwriter and actor.
He's 36!
Damon was born in Cambridge, Massachusetts, the son of Kent Telfer Damon, an investment banker and Realtor, and Nancy Carlsson-Paige, an early-childhood education professor. Damon has distant Scottish, Finnish and English ancestry; his maternal great-grandmother, Impi Nieminen, was Finnish. His brother Kyle is an accomplished artist and sculptor. He graduated from Cambridge Rindge and Latin in 1988, the only public high school in Cambridge, MA. Damon's first film job was one line in the romantic comedy Mystic Pizza (1988).
He commenced studies at Harvard University as an English major in the fall of 1988 and should have graduated with the class of 1992, but kept leaving classes to pursue acting projects, including the TNT original movie Rising Son and ensemble prep-school drama School Ties. Although Damon needed only about twelve credits to graduate (about two semesters), he dropped out of university to pursue his acting career in Los Angeles after Geronimo: An American Legend was expected (incorrectly) to be a big success.
It has recently been rumored that producer J.J. Abrams is trying to get Damon to play James T. Kirk in the eleventh Star Trek feature film, which has been rumored to be either a prequel to, or a reboot of, the original Star Trek series. Damon told journalists at a press conference on 15 September 2006 that he has not been approached about the film. Previously rumored for the part was Damon's long-time friend Ben Affleck.
While filming Stuck on You in 2003, Damon met Argentine-born Luciana Bozán Barroso at Crobar in Miami Beach, where she was working as a bartender. They married in a private civil ceremony on December 9, 2005 in New York City Hall. Damon became stepfather to Barroso's young daughter, Alexia, from her previous marriage. The couple's first child together, daughter Isabella, was born on June 11, 2006, in Miami.
Prior to meeting Barroso, Damon had dated actresses Claire Danes, Minnie Driver and Winona Ryder, as well as model Bridget Hall and Ben Affleck's former personal assistant, Odessa Whitmire. He wrote the female lead character of Skylar in 1997's Good Will Hunting based on his real-life former girlfriend, Skylar Satenstein, whom he dated while attending Harvard University.

1943 : Chevy Chase born
Cornelius Crane Chase, later known as Chevy Chase, is born in New York City. 
Chase began writing material for comedians in Los Angeles in the early 1970s. After meeting Saturday Night Live producer Lorne Michaels while standing in line for a movie, Chase landed a job writing and acting for the program.
After a year, he left the show to launch a movie career. His films include Caddyshack (1980), National Lampoon's Vacation (1983), and Fletch (1985).
VH1 held their annual Hip Hop Honors event in NYC on Saturday night, where this was found:

Nicole Richie's new hair extensions actually look quite good, natural. Which leads me to believe that they are NOT the work of Ken Paves (see Jessica's bad weave below).
Um... furthermore, I must mention that Nicole's "chicken legs" is proof positive that this girl needs some intervention. She looks like she's starving right before our very own eyes. It's also sickening to know that they EVEN MAKE jeans that small! What are they, -000's?
Note Jessica's wiglet doesn't match her own hair color. Here's another issue I have; why in the hell would you need a little puff of a wiglet, not making your hair longer? Too lazy to curl the ends?

Taylor Reuben Hicks (born October 7, 1976) is an American soul singer, songwriter, and musician. He was an independent artist for the span of a decade before rising to prominence as the winner of the fifth season of American Idol. Upon winning American Idol, Hicks was immediately signed to Arista Records. His debut single "Do I Make You Proud" opened at the number one spot on the Billboard Hot 100 and was certified gold by the RIAA. His major-label debut is scheduled for release on December 5, 2006. His energetic stage performances and throwback to classic soul music have earned him a following of devout fans, who have dubbed themselves the "Soul Patrol". Did you know that Simon Cowell shares his birthday?
He's 30!
Taylor Hicks was born at Saint Vincent's Hospital at 3:30am Central Daylight Time in Birmingham, Alabama on October 6, 1976, to Brad Hicks and Pamela Dickinson Hicks. As an infant, he had blond hair. His hair color turned dark brown/black as an adolescent and started turning gray by the time he was 13. He and his family moved to suburban Hoover when he was 8 years old. His parents divorced when he was 8, and his father Brad, a dentist, and stepmother Linda shared custody until he became of age.
According to his father, when he was five years old he sang to random strangers the music of Kenny Rogers or Michael Jackson. He plays guitar as well as blues harp and writes most of his own songs. He also possesses absolute pitch.
Hicks was a former student of Berry High School and graduated from its successor Hoover High School in 1995. He attended Auburn University, majoring in business, communications and marketing, but lost interest and dropped out after three years. He moved to Nashville, Tennessee to pursue a music career and has worked with Nashville veterans Billy Earl McClelland and Percy Sledge.
Hicks became the subject of two Weekend Update skits on NBC's Saturday Night Live on April 15 and May 20, 2006, portrayed by cast member Jason Sudeikis. In an allusion to Hicks' quirkiness and disposition, Sudeikis mocked playing Hicks' trademark blues harp and repeatedly shouted out "Soul Patrol!" Hicks, when interviewed by Ryan Seacrest on the subsequent episode of American Idol on April 18, 2006, as to whether or not he saw the imitation, admitted that he had and that the impression made him "fall out on the floor" with laughter. This is the first time an American Idol contestant has been parodied on the show.
"Weird Al" Yankovic parodied Hicks on his 2006 album, Straight Outta Lynwood, with a parody of "Do I Make You Proud" called "Do I Creep You Out?".
A Bit of Trivia:Other October 7th Birthdays:Hicks also has two goldfish, named Lamont and Ray, around whom fans have created and maintain a blog.

1989 : Bette Davis dies
Movie star Bette Davis dies of cancer on this day in 1989. During a career that spanned more than three decades, Davis appeared in some 80 films.
Born Ruth Elizabeth Davis in Massachusetts, Davis decided in high school to become an actress. She enrolled in a theater school in New York and was chosen to work with the Provincetown Players theater group. Making the jump from working actress to star proved difficult for Davis, though--for more than a decade, she played mediocre roles on Broadway and in the movies. She was turned down by at least one drama school, fired by director George Cukor after her first stock-theater performance, and rejected by Goldwyn studios after her first screen test.
Universal finally signed Davis in 1930, and she made her film debut in Bad Sister (1931), but she played unremarkable roles until the mid 1930s. Even her first Oscar, the Best Actress award for Dangerous (1935), failed to win her starring roles. When she rebelled against Warner Bros. and refused to take another undistinguished part, she was suspended, so she set off for England to make movies. Warner Bros. won a court battle that prevented Davis from working for anyone else, however, and Davis lost a widely publicized suit to terminate her contract. Despite losing the court battle, Davis did begin to command more respect from the company. In 1938, she won another Oscar for her role as a hot-tempered Southern belle in Jezebel.
Her star rose steadily throughout the 1940s, and she became renowned for her vivid portrayals of peculiar heroines. She starred in a series of acclaimed films that won her Best Actress nominations for five consecutive years, including Jezebel (1938), Dark Victory (1939), The Letter (1940), The Little Foxes (1941), and Now, Voyager (1942). In 1950, she won the New York Film Critics Best Actress Award for her stunning performance as actress Margo Channing in All About Eve. Her career tapered off in the late 1950s but revived in 1962 with a leading role in Whatever Happened to Baby Jane? She spent most of the 1970s doing television work until cancer forced her to slow down. In 1977, she became the first woman to receive the American Film Institute's Life Achievement Award. She wrote two autobiographies, The Lonely Life in 1962 and This 'N' That in 1987, and has been the subject of many biographies.
Audrey Hepburn has a clone: Natalie Portman . The 25-year-old Portman, wearing the iconic black column dress worn by Hepburn in 1961's "Breakfast at Tiffany's," graces the cover of the upcoming issue of Harper's Bazaar.
"I did feel very elegant suddenly," Portman tells Harper's Bazaar about wearing the 'Breakfast at Tiffany's' dress. "I mean, you can't possibly measure up to Audrey Hepburn; there's no comparison."A smiling Portman - often called the modern-day Hepburn - channels the spritely Holly Golightly by showing off the back of the dress, which was designed by Givenchy. Pearls are draped around her neck. Her hair, set with a black headband, is swept into a stylish updo in an update of Golightly's signature beehive.

Elisabeth Shue (born October 6, 1963) is an Academy Award-nominated American filmactress.
She's 43!
Shue was born in Wilmington, Delaware, into a prosperous and well-educated family and grew up in Bergen and Essex counties in New Jersey. Her parents divorced while she was in the fourth grade. Her father, who was active in Republican politics, once unsuccessfully ran for the U.S. Senate in New Jersey. Shue graduated from Columbia High School, in Maplewood, New Jersey, and attended Wellesley College and Harvard University, from which she withdrew to pursue her acting career. She returned to Harvard, 15 years after withdrawing, to finish her degree in Government in 2000.
During her studies at Columbia and after her parents' divorce, she found a way to make extra money by acting in television commercials. A state junior level gymnast, Shue became a common sight in ads for Burger King, DeBeers diamonds, and Hellman's mayonnaise.
In 1984, she co-starred in The Karate Kid as the onscreen girlfriend of Ralph Macchio, and had a role as the teenage daughter of a military family in the short-lived series Call to Glory. She continued her acting work with Adventures in Babysitting, her first starring role, Cocktail, Soapdish, and The Marrying Man. Trying to shed her girl-next-door image, Shue took a chance on a low-budget, high-risk project called Leaving Las Vegas. Her portrayal of a prostitute mixed up with a suicidal alcoholic played by Nicolas Cage earned her an Academy Award nomination for Best Actress. Since then, she has starred in The Saint, Deconstructing Harry, Palmetto, and Hollow Man.
In 2006, Shue and her two brothers are producing Gracie, a movie about a teenage girl with an interest in soccer, in part based on Elisabeth's own experience. It is in part filmed on location in areas where she grew up.
Known among her friends and family as "Lisa," Shue is married to Davis Guggenheim, director of the HBO TV series Deadwood. They have a son, Miles William (b. November 11, 1997), and two daughters, Stella Street (b. March 19, 2001) and Agnes Charles (b. June 18, 2006).Her brother is actor Andrew Shue, of Melrose Place fame. Another brother, William, died in 1988 at the age of 26 from a freak accident while on family vacation. Son Miles's second name is in homage to Will.

A message from John Mayer:
So I'm bored at the airport lounge, and I decided to try my hand at a new online technology found at myheritage.com.
It scans an image of your face and suggests your potential likenesses to celebrities. Curiosity got the best of me.
Within moments, the elaborate facial-recognition scan was taking place, running its complex algorithms, cross referencing databases and the like. And then my results came through.
That's right. There's a 72 percent chance I might be Jessica Lange, and a 68 percent chance I'm me.

Kate Elizabeth Winslet (born October 5, 1975) is a BAFTA Award-winning English actress. She is noted for having played a wide range of diverse characters over her career. Though her best known role may be that of Rose DeWitt Bukater in the highest-grossing film of all time, Titanic (1997), she was also highly regarded for her first role as Juliet Hulme in Heavenly Creatures (1994).
She's 31!
Although Winslet has not won an Academy Award, she has been highly favoured by the Academy, and holds two records in that area: the youngest person to receive two Oscar nominations, and the most Oscar nominations of any actor before the age of 30 (having received a total of four nominations by that age).
Winslet was born in Reading, Berkshire, England to Roger Winslet and Sally Bridges, both of whom were actors. Her maternal grandparents, Oliver and Linda Bridges, founded and operated the Reading Repertory, and her uncle, Robert Bridges, appeared in the original West End production of Oliver! Her sisters are Beth Winslet and Anna Winslet, also actresses.
Winslet, raised an Anglican, began studying drama at the age of eleven at Redroofs stage school, and was soon cast as a spokesperson for a cereal in television commercials.
On November 22, 1998, Winslet married director Jim Threapleton. The two have a daughter, Mia Honey, who was born on October 12, 2000. After a divorce in 2001, Winslet began a relationship with director Sam Mendes, whom she married on May 24, 2003, on the island of Anguilla in the Caribbean. Their son, Joe Alfie, was born on December 22, 2003.
The media, particularly in England, have enthusiastically documented her weight fluctuations over the years. Winslet has been outspoken about her refusal to lose weight in order to conform to the Hollywood ideal. In February 2003, the British edition of GQ magazine published photographs of Winslet which had been airbrushed to make her look dramatically thinner than she really was; Winslet issued a statement saying that the alterations were made without her consent.
Her home town of Reading has named a street – Winslet Place – in her honour, built on the site of a demolished cinema.
Did You Know:
Winslet has also enjoyed a brief taste of success as a singer, with her single What If? from soundtrack of Christmas Carol: The Movie, which reached #1 in Ireland and #6 in the UK. More recently, she participated in a duet with "Weird Al" Yankovic on the Sandra Boynton CD, Dog Train, and sang in the 2006 film, Romance and Cigarettes. She also sang an aria from La Boheme, called Sono Andanti, in her film Heavenly Creatures, which is featured on the film's soundtrack.

1970 : Janis Joplin dies
Singer Janis Joplin dies from a heroin overdose at the Landmark Hotel in Hollywood. Joplin's unrestrained personality and passionate, raspy voice made her a symbol of the intensity and rebellious spirit of the late 1960s.
Joplin was born in Port Arthur, Texas, in 1943. A moody, withdrawn teenager, she expressed herself through music, poetry, and art. At age 17, she ran away and began singing in nightclubs in Houston and Texas. In the 1960s, she moved to San Francisco, where eventually she joined a band called Big Brother and the Holding Company. The band released an album and was a sensation at the Monterey Pop Festival in 1967. The band's second album, Cheap Thrills (1968), topped the charts and went gold. The band's song "Piece of My Heart" is still a classic.
Joplin left the band by 1969 and assembled the Kozmic Blues Band, which backed her on her first solo album, I Got Dem Ol' Kozmic Blues Again Mama!. By this time, Joplin, a hard drinker and drug user, had also become addicted to heroin. Her addiction caught up with her after she had assembled a new group, The Full Tilt Boogie Band, and started recording the album Pearl. She died before the album was released. The single "Me and Bobby McGee" topped the charts in March 1971.

Fergie isn’t afraid to talk about anything from her addiction to crystal meth (she kicked her habit at 25 and celebrated by getting an eyebrow ring) to her most embarrassing moments. With her solo album, The Dutchess, debuting at No. 3, the Black Eyed Peas' Stacy Ferguson, 31, reveals a few of her craziest secrets in the October 19 issue of Rolling Stone.
On word play:
“When something is so, so sick, it’s risiculous. It’s sick and ridiculous. Risiculous. See, I have my own dictionary.”
On her split personality:
“Sometimes I can be tomboyish, and sometimes I can be girly. It depends on what mood I’m in. I like the balance. That whole woman/little girl thing. I like to play both of those.”
On her hip-hop influence:
“In junior high I was fascinated by gangsta rap. I was suburban, yet I had glimpses from where I lived. I’m hearing all the stories about what was going on in East L.A. and South Central, looking at it from the outside. I think I come from a whole generation of that. That’s why a lot of people can relate with me, because they lived that, too. Seeing it but not really living it. So there weren’t any of the negative consequences to the guns and all of that. It was just interesting and sexy.”
On her wild youth:
“Me and my girlfriends would get ready, go out to the club, come home, change into my faux-fur coats and my sunglasses and rent a limo – spending all my child-actor money – and go to the club Garage that would start at 6 a.m. and dance till 12. Then I graduated to crystal. And it started being more about going to Home Depot at four in the morning and getting crafty at home. It became less of a fun thing and more of a habit.”
On how she covered her meth habit:
“I came up with the quickest explanation I could: bulimia. Everyone around me knew, and I didn’t care…I became more and more isolated, and it became more and more dark.”
On the photos that surfaced of her at a Peas concert with a wet stain on her pants:
The cause? “Being buzzed” and having no time to use the restroom.
On bloggers:
“There’s a song on the album called ‘Pedestal’ which is my answer back to people who don’t do anything with their lives but stay on the Internet for hours and talk shit about me. You just sit there and rip me apart, but I bet you didn’t know that I went to hell and back. Bet you didn’t know that. So this is a question to them: What are you doing with your life?”
On dancing alone in hotel rooms:
"Yo, I’m having a dance-off!...With myself!"

Rachael Leigh Cook (born October 4, 1979) is an American actress. She came to fame after her role in the 1999 teen romantic comedy, She's All That, and has since mostly appeared in lower-profile films.
She's 27!
and appearing on the boxes of Cook was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota to Thomas H. Cook (a social worker and former stand-up comic) and JoAnne (an Italian American cooking instructor and weaver). She began working as a print model at the age of 10, most notably in nationwide advertisements for TargetMilk-Bone dog biscuits for medium sized dogs.
At the age of fourteen, Cook began auditioning for acting work. Her modeling agency sent her to read for a short film, 26 Summer Street (1996). She first gained national attention when she was featured in a memorable This is Your Brain on Drugs public-service television advertisement. Consequently, Cook began her feature film career, debuting in The Baby-Sitters Club (1995) as shy 13 year old baby-sitter Mary Anne Spier. The movie was based on Ann M. Martin's book series of the same name.
Cook's two highest-profile lead roles to date have been in the films She's All That (1999) and Josie and the Pussycats (2001). Cook has also appeared in a number of independent films and in the 2005 television miniseries Into the West.
In 2002, she was ranked #26 in Stuff magazine's "102 Sexiest Women in the World".
Cook has provided the voice of Tifa Lockhart in the video games Kingdom Hearts II and Final Fantasy VII: Dirge of Cerberus, as well as the CG movie, Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children. She also starred in the video for New Found Glory's 2002 single, "Dressed to Kill".
Cook's latest voice-over role is for the video game, Yakuza, where she voices the role of Reina, a beautiful barkeep.
Cook owns her own production company, called Ben's Sister Productions (in reference to her younger brother, an aspiring filmmaker).
Cook has dated actors Vincent Kartheiser, Ryan Reynolds, Shane West and Rider Strong.
Cook, a vegetarian, lives mostly in Los Angeles, but frequently goes back to visit her family in Minnesota.

Personally... I think Brittany Murphy is awesome! Now if she could just find and hold onto a man!
Mya is featured in the October/ November issue of Complex Magazine where she continues her diss on 50 Cent. Here are some snippets from the interview:
“[50] claimed to have slept with me and that’s totally incorrect. If that’s how you choose to succeed, then karma’s a bitch. I don’t have time for that small bulls***.” She also addresses her parents’ divorce which took place not long after her debut album and the effect that it had on her career, as she was forced to fire her dad as manager and hire new management. “My dad took it very personally,” she says. “My family fell apart and it was psychotic.” Now as she prepares for the launch of her fourth album Liberation her father is back as her manager and her mother as her accountant. To that, she says, “My energy is totally different. I feel like I have control and I’m a grown woman now."SOURCE: STRAIGHTOUTTANYC

Gwen Stefani (born October 3, 1969) is an American singer, fashion designer, actress, and is the frontwoman of the pop/ska/rock band No Doubt. She first experienced mainstream success with the release of No Doubt's 1995 album Tragic Kingdom, which shipped over 10 million copies in the US and spawned the hit singles "Just a Girl", "Spiderwebs", and "Don't Speak."
She's 37!
In 2004, Stefani wrote and recorded her first solo album Love. Angel. Music. Baby. The album contained pop music and dance tracks, and included hip hop and R&B-influences. Its third single "Hollaback Girl" became the first U.S. digital single to exceed sales of one million.
Stefani is currently working on a second solo album due for release in late 2006. She married Bush front man Gavin Rossdale in 2002 and gave birth to her son, Kingston James McGregor Rossdale, in 2006.
Gwen Stefani was born in Fullerton, California, but grew up in Anaheim. Her father, Dennis Stefani, is Italian American, and her mother Patti Flynn is of Irish and Scottish descent. She has a sister, Jill, and two brothers, Eric and Todd. Jill appeared in No Doubt's "Just a Girl" music video. Gwen attended California State University, Fullerton, and Loara High School (class of 1987), where she was on the swim team. Her first job was scrubbing floors at a Dairy Queen, and she once worked at the makeup counter of a department store. Her brother Eric was the keyboardist for No Doubt, but eventually left the band to pursue a career in animation on The Simpsons. Other members of the group include Tom Dumont, Tony Kanal, and drummer Adrian Young. Stefani had a 7 year relationship with the band's bassist Tony Kanal. The relationship was kept a secret from the band for a while. Unfortunately, Stefani already had the image of marriage in mind, which scared Tony, and eventually they broke it off. Through this difficult time, Stefani went through a period of depression and began to write her own songs. Thus, the birth of their third album Tragic Kingdom. Most of the CD is written about Tony through her time of heartbreak, eventually resulting in one of their most successful CDs. Stefani's breakthrough came in 1995.

"Here is my theory on debunking photographs in magazines, you know, the paparazzi photographs," Clooney says in the November issue of Vanity Fair, on newsstands Oct. 10. "I want to spend every single night for three months going out with a different famous actress. You know, Halle Berry one night, Salma Hayek the next, and then walk on the beach holding hands with Leonardo DiCaprio.
"People would still buy the magazines, they'd still buy the pictures, but they would always go, `I don't know if these guys were putting us on or not."'

1962 - Johnny Carson debuts as host of The Tonight Show
Johnny Carson starts his new job as host of The Tonight Show. He stayed with the show for almost 30 years.
The Tonight Show first appeared in 1953 on New York's local NBC affiliate and was hosted by Steve Allen, who stayed on as host when the network began airing the show nationally in 1954. Allen's hosting style was informal--he started each show at the piano, playing and talking. Later in the show, he chatted with guests at his desk, but unlike later versions of Tonight, conversation wasn't the focus of the show. The emphasis was on Allen's ad-libbed comedy, ranging from skits to man-on-the-street interviews. In 1956, Allen cut back to three nights a week, and Ernie Kovacs filled in on Mondays and Tuesdays.
Allen left the show in 1957, and the network changed the format, renaming the program Tonight! America After Dark and making it more similar to NBC's Today Show, with an increased emphasis on news. However, the new format failed to entice viewers, and after six months the network returned to the comedy-talk format, reinstated the name The Tonight Show, and installed comedian Jack Paar as host.
Paar's humor was gentler than Allen's, and he emphasized celebrity interviews, often delving into controversial political subjects that led him to emotional outbursts. He supported Fidel Castro's revolution in Cuba and broadcast from the Berlin Wall several times. In February 1960, when NBC censors edited his jokes one too many times, Paar walked off the set and didn't return for several weeks. He left the show permanently in 1962. NBC hired Johnny Carson as a replacement, but Carson had to finish up a contract with ABC, so a series of guest hosts--including Soupy Sales, Jerry Lewis, and Groucho Marx--filled in from April to September 1962.
Carson's calm, controlled demeanor contrasted with Paar's emotional style. Carson started each show with a monologue and continued with sketches in which he played recurring characters like magician "Carnac the Magnificent," "Carswell" the fortune teller, and "Faharishi" the yogi. In 1965, Carson insisted on delivering his monologue at 11:30 instead of 11:15, the show's official starting time, because many stations ran news until 11:30 and didn't join The Tonight Show until the half hour. In 1967, Carson walked out over contract differences, returning several weeks later when the network allegedly offered him a contract worth more than $1 million a year-an exorbitant salary at that time. In 1971, Carson stopped working on Mondays, and Tonight featured guest hosts instead. The show moved to Burbank the following year. In March 1978, Carson received a contract reportedly worth $3 million. Frequent guest hosts included Joan Rivers, who became "permanent guest host" from 1983 to 1986, and Jay Leno, who became permanent guest host in 1987. David Letterman also served as guest host, appearing more than 50 times.
When Carson announced he would retire in 1992, a highly publicized battle for the job ensued between top contenders Jay Leno and David Letterman. When Letterman lost, he accepted CBS's offer for his own show and launched Late Show with David Letterman in 1993. Carson died at the age of 79, in 2005.

Kelly Maria Ripa (born October 2, 1970 in Stratford, New Jersey) is an American actress and talk show host. Since February 2001, she has served as the co-host of Live with Regis and Kelly, alongside Regis Philbin. She is also known for her acting on All My Children and Hope & Faith, both television series on ABC.
She's 36!
Ripa is of Italian and Irish descent. While attending Eastern High School in Voorhees Township, New Jersey, Ripa began acting in high school plays. This led to roles at local theaters and a regular spot on the USA Network's Dance Party USA – an afternoon teen music program. She was then cast as gothic teen turned suffering heroine Hayley Vaughan on the soap opera All My Children. Starting on the show in 1990, the character of Hayley quickly drew a large following.
In early 1995 her character was paired with Mark Consuelos' character, Mateo Santos. A romance blossomed between the castmates, with Ripa and Consuelos eloping in 1996. Eventually, they had three children — Michael Joseph Consuelos, born June 2, 1997; Lola Grace Consuelos, born June 16, 2001; and Joaquin Antonio Consuelos, born February 24, 2003. In a mutual decision, the couple left All My Children in December 2002.
In September 2003, Ripa was a co-star (with Faith Ford) on her first sitcom, Hope & Faith. She portrayed Faith, a former soap star whose character is killed off and who moves in with her sister Hope's family, creating havoc for the family and often antagonizing Hope and her husband, Charlie. Hope & Faith was not renewed for a fourth season in May 2006 after the 2005-2006 season saw a significant decline in ratings.
On Saturday Night Live skits about Live with Regis and Kelly, the role of Kelly Ripa is played by Amy Poehler. When Ripa hosted SNL in November 2003, in the Live with Regis and Kelly skit, Poehler appeared as Ripa and Ripa as Angelina Jolie. In another skit, Ripa spoofed the ubiquitous hair coloring ads in which she has appeared (in this skit, Ripa prefers Tressant Suprême because a main ingredient is crack cocaine, thus explaining her stereotypical "peppy" persona). In another episode, she had a cameo as herself in a skit about Bangkok, Thailand with Ben Affleck. She also appeared in an opening skit with Steve Martin as the host, where they have dinner until Martin finds out that Alec Baldwin is about to host the show again.
She has also made fun of herself on Family Guy, voicing herself. In the episode "Family Guy Viewer Mail #1", Peter Griffin found a genie in a beer bottle and his first wish was to see Kelly Ripa behind the scenes. The genie opened a magic window onto Ripa's Live with Regis and Kelly dressing room, showing Ripa ripping off her human face to show an ugly alien face, then going to a tied-up human, removing his heart and eating it.

Poor George Michael doesn't get a break, does he? First he's busted for blowing some vagrant in the woods... now this!
George Michael was arrested on Sunday for possessing cannabis after being found slumped at the wheel of his car for the second time this year.The troubled singer was rushed to hospital after officers found him unconscious in his Mercedes at a busy junction near his North London home just after 3.20am yesterday morning. They also discovered a small amount of cannabis in his possession.
Police were called to the scene after receiving reports that his car was obstructing the junction at Cricklewood Lane with Hendon Way, under a mile away from Hampstead Heath. The 43-year-old star was later taken into custody at Colindale police station in west London, and booked under his real name Georgios Kyriakos Panayiotou. As well as being cautioned for possessing cannabis, Michael was arrested under the suspicion of being unfit to drive and released on police bail yesterday afternoon.
It is the third time this year the star has been involved in a motoring incident, which many believe is linked to his frequent use of cannabis. The former Wham frontman was cautioned in February for possession of the class C drug after being found asleep at the wheel of his parked Mercedes near Hyde Park. The millionaire was arrested for suspicion of being unfit to drive and was held by police over night, although he was never charged.
The singer, who has a long-term partner, Kenny Goss, hit the headlines in July after being caught having sex with a stranger on Hampstead Heath. Michael, in a frank interview with Channel 4's Richard and Judy show, said he felt no shame about his sexual encounters with strangers in public places, an activity known as cruising.Last night, a spokesman for the Metropolitan Police said: "At approximately 03.22am yesterday officers were informed of a stationary vehicle with a driver inside at traffic lights on Cricklewood Lane near its junction with Hendon Way, causing an obstruction. Officers arrested a 43-year-old man on suspicion of being unfit to drive and possession of a controlled substance, believed to be cannabis. London Ambulance Service attended and the man was taken to a west London hospital as a precautionary measure. He was then taken into custody at a west London police station and later received a caution for possession of cannabis and was bailed to return on a date in November in relation to the allegation of being unfit to drive." source

Harris was born in Limerick, Ireland, one of nine children of farmer Ivan Harris and Mildred Harris (nee Harty). He was schooled by the Jesuits at Crescent College. A talented rugby player, he was on several Munster Junior and Senior Cup teams for Crescent, and played for the well-respected Garryowen club. He may have gone on to become a provincial or international-standard rugby player, but his athletic career was cut short when he contracted tuberculosis in his teens. He remained an ardent fan of Munster provincial rugby team until his death, attending many matches, and there are numerous stories of japes at rugby matches with fellow actors and rugby fans Peter O'Toole and Richard Burton.Richard Harris often told stories about his haunted English Mansion. According to Harris, the tower was haunted by an eight-year-old boy who had been buried in the tower. The boy often kept Harris awake at night until he one day built a nursery for the boy to play in, which calmed the disturbances to some extent.Other October 1st Birthdays:The sequence in which Harris receives two dozen lashes, on orders from Captain Bligh, in the 1962 version of "Mutiny on the Bounty" ranks 11th in the book "Lash!

Tata Young is claimed to be Asia's version of Britney Spears : Pop tunes you hear once and can't get out of your head, stiletto heels and a dash of scantily clad, gyrating naughtiness. Tata's 2004 debut English-language album, "I Believe," won her fans throughout Asia, placing her among a small circle of Asian pop stars to grow beyond their nation's borders.
But Tata, the only daughter of an American father and Thai mother, hopes her second English-language album released in September, "Temperature Rising," will propel her to worldwide fame, and her determination is backed by the songwriters and producers behind the sounds of Spears, Ricky Martin and Christina Aguilera.They are right, Temperature Rising's cover song "El Nin-YO!"... is a song you can't get out of your head. In fact, it's annoying as hell! It plays on her "Official Website", over and over.
"People who represent me have made a lot of people famous... like, come on, Jennifer Lopez , Beyonce, you name them all," the 25-year-old Bangkok native said in a thick midwestern American accent that mimics her father's.
But some have criticized Tata's racy songs and steamy music videos, including the conservative former senator and culture watchdog Rabiabrat Pongpanich.
"People who go to her concerts don't go to listen to her music but are wasting a lot of money to see breasts, hips, a belly and a butt that can dance," Rabiabrat said in a report on the Thai-language Web site Daily News.

1955 - James Dean Dies
On this day, 24-year-old actor James Dean dies in a car accident.
Although Dean appeared in only three movies during his brief movie career, he made a deep impression on American audiences with his portrayal of the angry, restless young man. His three films were Rebel Without a Cause (1955), East of Eden (1955), and Giant (1956).
Born in Marion, Indiana to Winton and Mildred Wilson Dean, James Dean and his family moved to Santa Monica, California six years after his father had left farming to become a dental technician. Dean was enrolled in Brentwood Public School until his mother died of cancer in 1940.
At age nine, Dean was sent by his father to live with his aunt Ortense and uncle Marcus Winslow on a farm in Fairmount, Indiana, where he was brought up with a Quaker influence. In high school Dean played on the school basketball team and studied forensics and drama. After graduating from Fairmount High School in 1949, Dean moved back to California to live with his father and stepmother.
He enrolled in Santa Monica College (SMCC), pledged to the Sigma Nu fraternity and majored in pre-law. Dean transferred to the University of California, Los Angeles and changed his major to drama, resulting in estrangement from his father.

Mayer attended Fairfield High School (now Fairfield Ward High School) for his freshman, sophomore, and senior years, but attended Brien McMahon High School in Norwalk, Connecticut for his junior year, where he was enrolled in the Center for Global Studies at Brien McMahon High School. Then known as the Center for Japanese Studies Abroad, it is a magnet program for students in Fairfield County wanting to learn Japanese.
Mayer listened to pop music, but it was not until the age of thirteen that his inspiration for playing the guitar began. When his father, a high school principal, gave him a confiscated tape player that contained an album by Stevie Ray Vaughan, Mayer discovered the blues and learned how to play the guitar. After two years of practice, he started playing at blues bars and other venues in the area. While in high school, he was in a band called Villanova Junction with Joe Beleznay, Tim Procaccini, and Rich Wolf.
When Mayer was seventeen, he was suddenly stricken with a cardiac arrhythmia that sent him to the hospital for a weekend. The trauma of the incident sparked his songwriting, and he penned his first lyrics the night he got home. Shortly thereafter, he began suffering from crippling panic attacks that only subsided when he was twenty-six, and even now he keeps a Xanax (an anti-anxiety drug) with him, just in case.
Mayer has a number of tattoos. These include: "Home Life" on the back of his arm (after the song off of the Heavier Things album), "SRV" (for his idol Stevie Ray Vaughan), "77" (his year of birth) on his left pectoralis major, and a Japanese style fish on his right deltoid. In 2003, he got a tattoo of three squares on his right forearm, which sparked a lot of questions. Mayer explains that he likes getting tattoos, but not having too many, so he will fill the three squares in gradually. As of 2006, two are filled.
Mayer dated Jennifer Love Hewitt briefly in 2002. In a comedy routine in May 2006, he joked they never consummated their relationship; he later apologized to her for the raunchy routine. Mayer has denied dating model Heidi Klum in 2003.
According to the August 29, 2006, issue of People, Mayer was rumored to be in a relationship with singer Jessica Simpson. The article actually followed a US Weekly magazine report claiming a confirmation for Simpson. The 26-year-old songstress attended Mayer's concert at the Nikon at Jones Beach Theater (Wantagh, New York) on August 30, 2006. However, when asked by Rosie O'Donnell in a September 5, 2006, episode of The View, Simpson stated "I am not actually dating John Mayer." It has been confirmed by sources for both Mayer and Simpson that there was never a romantic relationship.
John currently (as of 2006) resides in a suburb of Los Angeles with his roommate (and sound technician) Chad Franscoviak.
A Bit of Trivia:
He has his own personal blog at: John Mayer Official Website
and he has his own "MY SPACE"
Jot this down...Eva Longoria kicked Tony Parker to the curb for cheating on her.
... and here's an mp3, one of those songs that Victoria Beckham didn't want leaking to the internet. I guess she's decided to give up on music and focus mainly on exposing herself publicly.

Seriously, this is some funny $hit! You can bid on this HERE. Note: Kevin Federline's resume is freakin blank! The funniest part is... there's a current bid of $32.00! [heh] What the hell are they bidding on?
Stars Acting Stupid... It's nice to see, Paris Hilton attracts people just as stupid as she is. Let me tell you,... I have a new understanding of Nick Carter! Yeah... and Aaron Carter went behind your back and hooked up with Paris too. I'm seriously surprised that ALL of you aren't infected with STD's.
The former Backstreet Boy revealed his revenge tactic when he and his kid brother Aaron visited Page Six yesterday to promote their E! show, "House of Carters," on their way to an Us Weekly luncheon
"I'd fallen head over heels with this chick. Then, all of a sudden, three months go by and I got people telling me, 'Nick, you know what Paris is doing to you,' and I got a little upset," Carter related. "So then I just decided to fight back a little bit and started doing my own thing again. The result is I hooked up with Ashlee Simpson. When Paris came back from Australia, they talked to each other and she found out about it.
"So I brought it up to her and said, 'You know what I did, and now it's your turn. Why don't you tell me what you did.' And she goes, 'I never did anything! I never cheated on you.' I had kind of started to really like Ashlee and I was thinking about the dating stage, then, before you know it [bleep]ing bitch-face comes back."
Carter, 26, told us he has no regrets, but still has a bitter taste in his mouth about Hilton. "I got so burnt over that whole Paris [bleep] with all this swinging and switching. Whatever happened to morals and values?" asked Nick, who's now working on a highly anticipated Backstreet Boys reunion album: "We've done about half of it so far."
Meanwhile, Aaron, 19, who has a new album due in February, says his own shotgun engagement last year to Playboy Playmate Kari Ann Peniche, who'd previously dated Nick, failed because he just wasn't ready to settle down. "It was just a big mess. She was pretty upset, but I just realized I made a mistake," he said.
And it wasn't a cheap mistake. While he never got her an engagement ring, "I bought her earrings for $10,000," Aaron confided. "And I need to get 'em, back. I need to get 'em back!" Good luck with that. source
Seahawks Kicker Brown Has Crush on Carrie Underwood, Can't Close Deal. Um, ok.
Apparently Josh Brown is only a clutch player on the gridiron. In a recent interview with Yahoo! Sports, quarterback Matt Hasselbeck revealed that he attended a Carrie Underwood concert in training camp because the Seahawks' kicker needed a wingman to approach the American Idol country starlet (who, it should be noted, sang the National Anthem before the 'Hawks victory in the NFC Championship). Hasselbeck noted that things between the two seemed to go well:
We end up getting backstage and he got a chance to talk to her. They're both from Oklahoma, so they seemed to hit it off. She grew up a Cowboys fan, but I think she was a little more of a Seahawks fan by the end of the conversation. I think Josh won her over. But then she played in Puyallup and he chickened out and didn't go and I don't think he called her. I don't know what happened there, but I definitely want to know.Uh, yeah, you and me and everybody else wants to know, too. I know he played the Cowboys card smoothly: Oh, you like the Cowboys? Yeah, I guess they're good. Of course, I beat them by kicking a 50-yarder as time expired last year. And you figure a kicker has got to have all sorts of pickup lines about splitting the uprights. Seriously, this is potentially the feel-good story of the year for the NFL. Everyone knows quarterbacks always get the hot famous chicks, but a kicker? A balding kicker? Heck yeah! Give some hope to the common folk! source

Francine Joy Drescher (born September 30, 1957) is an American film and televisionactress. She is famous for her nasal voice, "machine-gun" laugh, and Queens accent.
She's 49!
Drescher was born in Flushing, Queens, New York City to a Jewish family of Eastern European origin. Drescher grew up in Queens with her parents, Sylvia and Morty Drescher, and was a studious girl who was quite popular in school. Drescher attended Drescher was born in Flushing, Queens, New York City to a Jewish family of Eastern EuropeanHillcrest High School in Jamaica, Queens. At age fifteen, she met the man she believed that she would spend much of her life with, Peter Marc Jacobson. A year later, the two married.
Her first break was a bit part in the movie Saturday Night Fever (1977).
In January 1985, robbers ransacked Drescher's Los Angeles apartment and raped her and a friend at gunpoint. It took her many years to overcome this ordeal, and it took her even longer to admit this to the press. She was paraphrased as saying in an interview with Larry King that although it was a very negative experience, she found ways to turn her experience into something positive; she saw her rapist sent to prison.
She continued to play small but memorable roles in movies, until she finally created her own vehicle, The Nanny. She was visiting her friend, model Twiggy, in England and came up with the plotline. The show aired on CBS from 1993 to 1999, becoming an instant success, and so did Fran. In this sitcom, she played a charming and bubbly woman, named Fran Fine, who casually became the nanny of three children; with her wit and her charm, she endeared herself to their widower father Maxwell Sheffield, a stuffy, composed, proper British gentleman and a Broadway producer (played by British actor Charles Shaughnessy).
Her voice is a combination of a high nasal pitch and a New York accent that people find either annoying, endearing, or humorous (or all three). In her autobiography, Drescher discusses the fact that this is her real voice -- even though it is played up a little on-camera -- and the many voice lessons she has had to take to overcome it for movie auditions (only to have it, and her machine-gun titter, end up being her trademark). Her first book was even titled Enter Whining.
In the late 1990s, she was a defendant in a lawsuit, and later dismissed from it. Acerbic comic Dennis Miller remarked that "no one wanted to have to listen to her testify!"
During her TV experience, she also appeared in a number of films, including Jack (1996), directed by Francis Ford Coppola, The Beautician and the Beast (1997) (which she also executive produced) and Picking Up the Pieces (2000) co-starring Woody Allen. In 1999, Fran divorced her husband, Peter Jacobson.
Drescher is also a huge fan of the rock band Phish, and has been spotted at several of their concerts.
Fran Drescher was admitted to Los Angeles's Cedars Sinai Hospital on June 21, 2000, after doctors diagnosed her with uterine cancer. But emergency surgery caught it early as it was only at Stage 1 and she didn't have to undergo radiation or chemotherapy. She has been given a clean bill of health and no post-operative treatment has been ordered. She wrote about her experiences in her second book, Cancer Schmancer.
Other September 30th Birthdays:Nicole Richie was photographed outside the West Hollywood Recovery Center on 626 N Robertson Boulevard. The center is an informal recovery center that focuses on 12-step meetings. YET, she has disputed CNN's report that she's seeking treatment. [coughbullshitcough]

Footage of Avril Lavigne swearing up a storm in front of the paparazzi. Apparently marriage hasn't matured her much.
...they offer up some worthless information. Eva Longoria and Tony Parker are going through problems in their relationship and they have issued a statement to let us know about it:
"Eva and Tony are going through a very difficult time right now, just like any other couple with extremely demanding careers."Thanks for that bit of info. I know I'll sleep better tonight, knowing you two are arguing over what to cook for dinner.
... but, the little girl colors outside the lines and leaves smudges.
Airing from 1985 to 1992, The Golden Girls is one of the most beloved sitcoms in the history of television.
It chronicled the lives of four sassy, single seniors -- from top left, slutty Blanche Devereaux (Rue McClanahan), naïve Rose Nylund (Betty White), cynical Dorothy Zbornak (Bea Arthur) and her mom, wisecracking Sophia Petrillo (Estelle Getty) -- and their antics as roommates in Miami.
Dang, I sure do love Robin Williams. The fact that he can admit a problem and then actually do something about it, regardless of media scrutiny, is commendable. Look at him, back to his same loveable self!
