I am an honest man and this letter is a way to declare my honest intentions. Would you have me lie to myself? I know that you are not that kind of woman, that you wouldn\ufffdt have me carry a burden of such emotional weight. This isn\ufffdt just another \ufffdstalker letter\ufffd, nor am I just another star struck fan who sees you as a one dimensional character from one of your movies. Indeed, you exist in three dimensions and the best representation I\ufffdve been able to put together is a lip simulator which is made of two lightly inflated bicycle inner tubes. I\ufffdve been practicing kissing these and I think I\ufffdve got it down pat. But I can understand why you\ufffdd be afraid of unsolicited mail in these crazy times. Just rest assured that if there\ufffds any suspicious white powder that comes with this letter, it\ufffds only a dose of Manthrax and, yes, I think there is a great danger that you might already be infected. I understand your plight, the one I\ufffdve read about in Who Weekly. Hollyweird is full of conceited bachelors who consider marriage to be something they pencil in their daily agendas between aerobic pole dancing and botox shots. These men are commitment-phobes and you\ufffdve been burned before but I shall provide you with the dependability that you so deserve. I don\ufffdt take love lightly, in fact I haven\ufffdt taken it at all since the last century. And though we\ufffdre now in the early 2000s, I like to think of it as circumstantial celibacy, yeah that\ufffds it. I believe that it\ufffds built so much character into me that it\ufffds become an extra personality, the one that\ufffds written you this letter. It\ufffds the other personality that gets frustrated and lights local grass fires. Your name means Angel of the Earth- probably- and Palm Beach is an earthy place if ever there was one. When you come here you can share in one of my favourite pastimes- watching society\ufffds down-and-outs argue with the pre-recorded spruiker that blares from the speakers on the footpath outside the pawn brokers. I always barrack for the spruiker, he\ufffds still there, undefeated. Billy Bob didn\ufffdt know how to treat you right but I do. I wouldn\ufffdt write a country music song about you like he did, I\ufffdd probably write an R&B track and get Usher to perform it but I\ufffdd lip sync it for the film clip. Such is the romantic fool that is I. Yours in Christ, Tony Taurus. Dear Mister Taurus, You are quite right in assuming that Ms. Jolie doesn\ufffdt like to answer unsolicited mail and I must convey that your letter was somewhat alarming. I\ufffdd also like to point out the typo you made with the word Anthrax. Unless it was a pun, in which case you really have sent a case of foot in mouth disease through the mail. As Ms. Jolie\ufffds publicist, I shall send you a signed photograph and the following bio which I usually defer to the creeps, the teeny boppers, the papparazzi and the terminally unglamorous- Angelina Jolie is the talented actress who has appeared in such acclaimed films as Girl Interrupted, Tomb Raiders 1 & 2, Alexander and Taking Lives. On average, she\ufffds been in fewer flops than Jennifer Aniston. She\ufffds 5ft 6.5, her favourite colour is teal and she has a fireman\ufffds pole in her house instead of stairs. Yours Sincerely, Yohann Lispy. PS- I forge the autographs on all the photos. Dear Mr. Lispy, Or should I say my deceptive love chameleon? You are an actress and I must say, bravo, this is your finest performance to date. Angelina, I am amazed at how well you are able to impersonate a pretentiously droll, obviously gay publicist. Encore my darling! I suppose the scary thing is that Hollywood is actually populated with insipid little wierdoes like the fictional Mr. Lispy. It must be horribly trying for a pomme de terre- angel of the earth- such as yourself. How you maintain your elegant loveliness in such an ugly rat race is nothing less than a phenomenon. And yet they point the bone at you, proclaiming that you\ufffdre some sort of sideshow attraction because you used to wear a vial of your ex-husband\ufffds blood around your neck and you made a point of french-kissing your brother in full public view. They try and paint these things as the desperate stunts of an attention junkie but I know them for what they really are. A cry for love. I understand your crazy language. Let them cast their stones, for they don\ufffdt realise that the glass house has many cracks in it and it\ufffds only a matter of time before it shatters, and when it does they shall be slashed with the shards of their folly- shards that are actually camera lenses- and we shall wear their blood in vials around our necks, but they\ufffdll have to be really big vials because there\ufffdll be so much blood. Ha! Your ex- husband Billy Bob Thornton was the real weirdo. I remember reading in Who Weekly that he went on a diet that only permitted him to eat foods that were orange. I can see why things didn\ufffdt work out with him. Typical yokel. I assume that like most men in Hollywood, he\ufffds gay and I suppose you would be the perfect foil for"}, {"response": 70, "author": "MarciaH", "date": "Fri, Oct  7, 2005 (19:05)", "body": "Interesting, if nothing else."}, {"response": 71, "author": "torp", "date": "Fri, Aug 18, 2006 (11:27)", "body": "Give me Latina, dark, slim and inviting.

Coming on the heels of Eeyores birthday, I was stirred by these ancient legends and the fine portrayals by these outstanding actresses (quotes from NBCs website): Isabella Rossellini as Nimue - Isabella Rossellini began her career before the camera as a broadcast journalist for RAI-Italian Television. At the relatively advanced age of 28, she became a model, working with photographers such as Richard Avedon, Helmut Newton, Peter Lindburgh and Steven Meisel. For fourteen years, she was the exclusive model for Lancome cosmetics. Rossellinis American film debut was opposite Mikhail Baryshnikov and Gregory Hines in Taylor Hackfords White Nights (1985). In 1986, she starred opposite Dennis Hopper as Dorothy Vallens, the tortured lounge singer, in David Lynchs haunting and controversial Blue Velvet. Other films include the romantic comedy Cousins (opposite Ted Danson) and Wild at Heart (also from David Lynch). In 1992, she was featured in Death Becomes Her, opposite Meryl Streep, Goldie Hawn and Bruce Willis, and Fearless, opposite Jeff Bridges and Rosie Perez. She starred as Big Nose Kate in Lawrence Kasdans Wyatt Earp (opposite Kevin Costner and Dennis Quaid), and in Immortal Beloved with Gary Oldman. Most recently, Rossellini starred as a two-timing girlfriend in Big Night, co-directed by Stanley Tucci and Campbell Scott, which won Best Screenplay at the 1996 Sundance Film Festival; and in Abel Ferraras The Funeral. Miranda Richardson as Mab - One of the most versatile actresses working today, Miranda Richardson has received accolades for her work in film, television and on stage. A native of Lancashire, England, she originally aspired to be a veterinary surgeon. However, animals lost a fine doctor when she decided to go to drama school and was accepted by the Bristol Old Vic Theater School. Graduation was followed by several years of repertory theater. While playing in The Life of Einstein at the Dukes Playhouse in Lancaster, director Mike Newell cast her as Ruth Ellis, the last woman to be hanged in England in Dance with a Stranger. Although not a box office success, the film garnered her several British film awards and brought Richardson to the attention of Steven Spielberg, who cast her in his WWII epic Empire of the Sun. A myriad of film roles followed, including Enchanted April (1992), for which she received her first Golden Globe Award (Best Actress in a Comedy), Neil Jordans controversial The Crying Game (1992), Damage (1992, Oscar nomination - Best Actress), Tom and Viv (1994, Golden Globe nomination - Best Film Actress), Robert Altmans Kansas City (1996) and The Evening Star (1996) opposite Shirley MacLaine. She will also play the voice of Anna in Warner Bros. animated version of The King & I. and Helena Bonham Carter as Morgan Le Fey - From her debut as the teenage Queen of England in 1985s Lady Jane, Helena Bonham Carter has bewitched audiences with her remarkable talent and a beauty that seems to be drawn from an Edwardian painting. Time magazines Richard Corliss has called her \" ... our modern antique goddess.\" A native of London, Bonham Carter is the great-granddaughter of H.H. Asquith, who served as Englands Prime Minister from 1908 to 1916. Her father was a Harvard-educated banker, and her mother a psychotherapist. Bonham Carter was accepted at Cambridge University, but after landing the lead in Lady Jane at eighteen, decided to pursue acting as a career. Her next film (and the first of four she has made based on E.M. Forster novels), A Room with a View, first brought her to the attention of American audiences. She has also starred in The Vision (1987), Francesco (1989), Kenneth Branaghs Hamlet (1990), Howards End (1992), Mary Shelleys Frankenstein (1994), Mighty Aphrodite (1995) and Twelfth Night (1996). Bonham Carter is currently garnering rave reviews for two new films, Keep the Aspidistra Flying (written by George Orwell) and The Wings of the Dove (based on a Henry James novel). For American television, Bonham Carter starred as Marina Oswald, wife of Kennedy assassin Lee Harvey Oswald, in the NBC movie Fatal Deception (1993)."}, {"response": 22, "author": "terry", "date": "Tue, Apr 28, 1998 (23:46)", "body": "CAST Sam Neill: Merlin Isabella Rossellini: Nimue Miranda Richardson: Mab/Lady of the Lake Martin Short: Frik Rutger Hauer: Vortigern Helena Bonham Carter: Morgan Le Fey Sir John Gielgud: King Constant James Earl Jones: Mountain King Paul Curran: Arthur Jeremy Sheffield: Lancelot Lena Heady: Guinevere Rachel Colover: Lady Igraine Billie Whitelaw: Ambrosia Dilys Lane: Gudrun Emma Lewis: Elissa Talula Sheppard: Lady Friend Janine Eser: Lady Elaine Alice Hamilton: Young Morgan Le Fey Camilla Oultram: Young Girl at Fair Agnieszka Koson: Young Nimue Susan Rayner: Village Woman Charlotte Church: Singer Is it in the above list?

She also co-starred in KINGDOM COME, (Fox Searchlight) starring an ensemble cast including, Whoopi Goldberg, LL Cool J, Jada Pinkett-Smith, Toni Braxton and Loretta Devine.

Her co-stars include Migual Nunez, Kevin Pollack, Tommy Davidson and Kim Wayans. Summer 2000 also saw Vivica on the feature film comedy, DOUBLE TAKE (Walt Disney Pictures), starring Orlando Jones and Eddie Griffith. Vivica appears in the film as an FBI agent. This summer she also wrapped production on Showtime's HENDRIX, starring Wood Harris. In the film, she portrays Hendrix's true love and musical inspiration. Vivica's role in City of Angels came off the heels of two seasons on the Fox Television sitcom GETTING PERSONAL with Duane Martin and Jon Cryer. Vivica was nominated by the NAACP for best actress in a comedy series for Getting Personal. Prior to GETTING PERSONAL, Fox co-starred in the ABC sitcom, ARSENIO, with Arsenio Hall, as his wife and a successful lawyer. Vivica received critical acclaim for her multi-dimensional, emotional and often comedic performance in WHY DO FOOLS FALL IN LOVE (Warner Bros.), the Frankie Lymon Story, which also starred Larenz Tate, Halle Berry and Lela Rochon. She also starred in the ABC/Disney Movie-of-the-Week, A SAINTLY SWITCH, opposite David Alan Grier and Rue McClanahan.

The dynamic and sexy couple won the MTV Award for Best Kiss. Following ID4 was the dramatic action feature SET IT OFF (New Line) in which she starred with Jada Pinkett-Smith, Queen Latifah, Kimberley Elise and Blair Underwood. Vivica takes this tragic character from an ambitious bank teller to a raw, no-holds-barred bank robber. In the comedy, BOOTY CALL (Columbia Pictures) also starring Jamie Foxx, Tommy Davidson, and Tamala Jones, Fox played a Wall Street investment bank executive, Lysterine (a.k.a. Lysty), who finds herself in an unexpected situation after going on a blind date as a favor to a friend. Fox lent her talent as the dangerously seductive character, Ms. B Haven, opposite Arnold Schwarzenegger, Uma Thurman and George Clooney in BATMAN AND ROBIN (Warner Bros.). Vivica co-starred opposite Vanessa L. Williams and Nia Long as one of the three sisters (Maxine) in the family drama and box office homerun SOUL FOOD (Twentieth Century Fox). Fox received MTV Movie and Image Award Nominations for Best Actress for this stellar performance. Prior to beginning her film career, Vivica was a series regular on NBC's television series OUT ALL NIGHT playing Patti LaBelle's feisty, fashion designer daughter, Charisse.

The Spring has changed very little since I first logged in here; we have a few regular people who weren't here when I first arrived (like the wonderful Riette :)) but apart from that, zilch. I'm putting out the ideas that I have, in the hope that it will inspire other people, who damn well have better ideas than me. But, if for putting out my ideas, then people are just going to climb into their Reactionary suits and grumble and groan, then I'm not interested."}, {"response": 69, "author": "KitchenManager", "date": "Wed, Jul  8, 1998 (16:08)", "body": "Mike, you continually grumble and groan about other conferences...not I. If you can't take what you're putting out, then quit complaining and try and get along. And you damn well are interested, or you wouldn't overreact to what you view as attacks...and you do tell me, beyond polite suggesting, what I should or shouldn't be doing with my sites...can you explain to me what it is that I have done that causes you to be antagonistic and patronizing towards me? I will readily admit that most, if not all, of the people are better educated and wealthier than I on here, and I have stated several times that I am basically in reality not a social person having never had the opportunity to learn those skills. I'm ok with all of that, and have had more than one need to apologize for things that I have said on here, and have done so. If anything I say causes anyone else to be uncomfortable about posting or remaining on here, then I need to correct that, especially since I am a host. I even get to play referee and/or mediator, not because I am good at it (that would require being social) but because no one else is doing anything, and everybody that posts on here is a valuable asset to the community. Because of the space and opportunity Terry has freely granted me, I \"owe\" him this: if someone leaves because of either my actions or inactions, I have abused Terry's trust. My biggest continuing mistake, in my eyes, is continuing to post in the manner that I have become accustomed to, and spending less time performing what I see to be my hostly duties in my conferences. Is this in a rule book anywhere? No. It is my sense of responsibility. Does this mean I think everyone I like to banter with isn't doing their \"part\"? No. They are because they are posting. Have you ever been in a planned community? I personally hate them because everything is the same, and I highly value individuality. Which is one of the reasons I love this place. Everyone seems to be comfortable at some point being themselves, saying what they feel, being who they are. If Terry does not have a problem with any of our hosting styles, that's great. If he does, I would hope that he would let me know, so that I can change my behavior. If he doesn't, then we shouldn't have problems with each other's hosting styles, either. We do not need to unnecessarily censor each other, there's enough of that egotistical crap in reality. If, in my playing and doing what others on here consider weird in my confs, that's great because something might eventually work. It becomes bad when I stagnate and /or refuse to do something someone else is doing that's working because of personal differences. If you have never talked to Riette about her and my initial war when she branched out from Bronte, please do so. I don't know what else to say to you, and that leaves me feeling like I've let everyone down, both those that love and respect you, and those that, the more I consider things, you inadvertantly hurt because of the way that you say things, not by what you mean."}, {"response": 70, "author": "riette", "date": "Wed, Jul  8, 1998 (16:39)", "body": "Sorry for butting in again, but I remember!! ha-ha!

I do! I think it's superb! The thing that upsets me is that what we all pay for in slowness, we - us - don't gain in people. The spring, as a whole, does not benefit, I don't think, from these high-traffic conferences; either in people terms, or in financial ones. unless they start coming o er the wall. or paying some fee. the fee thing is another time - i'll enter a topic about it in the forthcoming meta conference (you heard it here first, ladies and gentlemen). if i have offended you, wer, by posting in the Constructive Criticism topic(s) in your conference(s), then i apologise. my posting here has become \"thinking aloud\", in the sense that I basically just put down what's in my brain, then press submit. probably my talk about white backgrounds or something hit a nerve, i don't know, but i simply was talking aloud. you can see that, since i changed the background here to white, and it looked crap. so now it's green. as for me talking about the clickthru banner; well, it's up to you, isn't it? and it's up to me what I think about them. I did not come into the conference to pick faults and complain, i came in because you asked me to, and also because the last time i'd popped by, i was impressed. i think restaurants (and/or food), together with Drool, were the first conferences were i'd seen anything but the default banner. that is why i dropped by. then, when i saw the Constructive Criticism topic (another superb idea, which, as you'll see in Babes, I've adopted/copied/stolen, depending on your point of view - for me, imitation is the inest form of flattery, but i guess for some people it's perhaps treading on toes...that's just me again, i guess) I just posted whatever came to mind. there was no big conspiracy, or even intention. perhaps i am just too hyper-critical. the only thing i do after a musical performance is think \"could have been better\", and start working for the next time. i hardly ever think about what i've done right. and when i'm practising, or designing web stuff, when i show it to other people, an initial \"woo!\" is nice, but after that, all i'm interested in is what could be improved. i'm afraid i'm just a perfectionist. what can i do? would it be natural for me to just shut my gob when i think of things? (this isn't rhetorical, by the way). I don't feel that would be right, because then that's not \"me\", in the same way that the crazy innuendo you enjoy with the others should not be stopped just because it doesn't fit with a particular person's view. it's not my cup of tea, but there you go. i've got a page down key, i use it. nuff said. i am a perfectionist, and i am a radical. these two things are me, very much me - probably the two things i can say that i've always been, regardless of what situation i have found myself in life. and i'm comfortable with that. very comfortable, in fact. not a smug comfort, or self-satisfaction, more a...dunno \"joy\", i guess, that i can cling on to something and say, \"YES! THAT is me!\" i want to change the world. i want to dump capitalism. i want to do a lot of things, and quite a few of th m are totally barmy. but this is me. as i lumber around changing the world, i will bruise some noses, and break others, and do it without even realising . i don't know what else to say. i've just sat for two minutes and thought about what to write next, but all i've come up with is, \"I don't know what else to say.\". don't you think it would be great to change the world? i think it'd be ace. get people working together, rather than trying to fuck each other in court. get friendly competition, in a controlled environment, rather than industrial spies, lawsuits and anti-trust mergers. get new buttons for the spring every week, until we find the right comb nation of buttons that makes the whole net population fall to its knees and start sending impromptu checks to terr"}, {"response": 72, "author": "KitchenManager", "date": "Wed, Jul  8, 1998 (22:36)", "body": "said nothing about intelligence...mentioned education, and you proved why I brought it up...because I'm not technically well educated, some consider that a lack of intelligence... so the point isn't moot...it perfectly illustrates some of my points... the point in different conferences is that people have different interests, if this were not the case, we should have just one conference on here...

We create a conference similar to the inner sanctum thing that Wer is working on, but a conference where we all work together closely. We share ideas, whatever art gets exhibited in the gallery should be approved by the boar to ensure good quality, whoever wants to join the board ust be approved by everyone, the board should decide on things like how much to ask for each picture, etc. etc., as well as approve the layout of the web page. I mean, Wer, Wolf and I can combine our practical talents, but it is always a good thing to have extra, objective eyes to guide one. I'm probably being over ambitious again, and I know it's going to be a slow, small start, but I don't want it to be just another boring gallery page on the web.

I loved her skits with Nora Dunn, remember the Swingle sisters? More about some of the stuff I liked about her and her skits later in this topic. Jan Hooks was on SNL from 1986 through 1991. Her main characters were Tammy Faye Bakker, Eleanor Clift, Hillary Clinton, Nadia Comaneci, Bette Davis, Mia Farrow, Betty Ford, Kathie Lee Gifford, Nancy Glass (in Attitudes), Jessica Hahn, Sally Kellerman, Dee Kelly (in Attitudes), Marla Maples, Sinead O'Connor, Sally Jessy Raphael, Nancy Reagan, Diane Sawyer, Nancy Simmons (Waynes World), Candy Sweeney, and Ivana Trump. And who can forget \"The Planet of the Enormous Hooters\" that she did with Dolly Parton (on the planet Estrogena)? OK. OK. So you can forget that one. 4 responses total. Topic 48 of 85: 'Jan Hooks' Response 1 of 4: Paul Terry Walhus (terry) Sat, Aug 16, 1997 (22:50) 17 lines Attitudes, a take on a show on the Lifetime Channel, was great. The earnest intentness of these two talk show hosts leaning forward in their chairs while the Driftwood Artist explained what he did was hilarious. And those Sweeney Sister song medleys. Two sisters who lived to entertain, hitting the Holiday Inns, the Ramadas, and the \"Blarney Stone\". Nora Dunn played Liz and Jan played Candy. One time the Sweeneys played a party at the Ramada, to celebrate the new primate house at the zoo. Charlton Heston is the unwilling guest. They sing \"The Lion Sleeps Tonight\", \"Shock the Monkey\", and \"Yes, We Have No Bananas\". But Cany says \"I lied\" and pulls one from the fruit bowl. How do I remember all this? Two things, 1. Tapes from 86-91, I taped nearly every show 2. A book. Saturday Night Live, the First Twenty Years.

The Abdication of Character, Courage and Conscience\", and most recently, \"The Ten Commandments: The Significance of God\ufffds Laws in Everyday Life.\" Dr. Laura Schlesinger holds a black belt in martial arts.

I'm surprised that I like Henry James, but I do. I know Austen was a major influence on him. Dickens ranks up there on my list of English novelists. So does George Eliot. I have mixed emotions about Joyce (I know he was Irish). I couldn't make it through Ulysses , but was moved to tears by The Dead. I like the shorter, later Tolstoy things with redemption as theme, such as Master and Man and The Death of Ivan Ilytch . I've read War and Peace and Anna Karennina , though. I believe there's good reason the former has become a metaphor for overlong, and the latter is just too damn tragic. I knew she was doomed from the second she saw Vronsky. I love some of Dostoevsky, especially The Brothers Karamazov . I know the father is a tragic figure, but I laugh when I read h s misadventures. That got me into trouble in a Russian Lit in translation seminar with my favorite lit professor (now deceased). I still think he's funny, intentional or not.

My mother has a degree in Art History. She admires the work of Rembrandt, hence my name. You are right about Drool. I've been lurking about the Spring for a few weeks and that particular conference is very clique-ish. It's like high-school over there. There is very much a group of a favored few and everybody else can go hang. One of my favorite posters at Drool is a woman named Cheryl, she also posts on other conferences, I think. She's intelligent, funny and very astute, but \"the chosen few\" are very rude to her. Quotes are copied from her posts and not credited to her. She is not allowed to have an opinion, although the favored ones can be as opinionated as hell. I think her a to be a nicer person than I. No doubt she has a life and doesn't much care about ill-bred Colin Firth fans behavior toward her. I'll be nasty and name someone posting at Drool I can't stand. Namely that would be Mari. In a word boring. All she ever does is post newspaper articles, make bad Mafia jokes and play sycophant to Karen. It would appear, unlike Cheryl, she appears not to have a life at all outside the Drool boards. Childish, I know but hey, I'm 22. Just a kid. Drool is essentially a Colin Firth board. One that alienates many Colin Firth fans at that. Perhaps another conference for male babes. I don't know. You might call it Hot Male. I'm absolutely mad for Russell Crowe, and there is a Drool topic on him. There is one, but no one ever posts there. So why should I bother. Please consider my idea for a new male appreciation conference. You might even have a Colin Firth topic there for the more gentle souls. I've been bad mannered enough. My father would be mortified.

He was knighted by Queen Elizabeth in July, two years after he was reportedly denied a knighthood because of his Scottish nationalism. Connery, who grew up in the slums of Edinburgh and once worked as a coffin polisher, played the character created by novelist Ian Fleming in seven Bond films. Born Thomas Connery on August 25, 1930, he was brought up in near-poverty, never attempted to disguise his raw Scottish accent and preferred beer to Bond's vodka martini cocktails that are \"shaken not stirred\". At the age of 17, two years after the end of World War Two, Connery was drafted into the Royal Navy and served three years as an ordinary seaman. He hated it.A chance meeting with a friend resulted in him joining the chorus of the American stage musical \"South Pacific\" -- after 48 hours of dancing and singing lessons. \"I grew up with no notion of a career, much less acting,\" he once said. \"I certainly never have plotted it out.

The daughter of a factory worker and a former bank employee, Faith took her singing abilities to family reunions and gatherings, local rodeos and fairs, church, school -- virtually wherever she had an audience -- while growing up in Star, MS. It only took a few months in college for Faith to know that she was ready to pursue a career in country music. At the age of 19, she headed to Nashville to realize her dream. New to Nashville, Faith's first job was at the Country Music Fan Fair, selling t-shirts. Her next job, as a secretary at Gary Morris' publishing company, would eventually lead her to stardom. Caught singing privately (while on the job) by a writer who worked there, Faith was convinced by the writer to do a demo of a song. Gary Morris himself heard Faith's rendition of the song and encouraged her to pursue a singing career. With a switch in day jobs and ready to take on the music industry, Faith met songwriter Gary Burr. Faith began to sing harmony as a backup singer at Gary Burr's shows, which not only gave her exposure, but helped her perfect her harmony singing and writing, thanks to Gary. It was at one of Gary's shows that a representative of Warner Brothers heard Faith sing. Signed with Warner Brother Records, Faith's first album, entitled Take Me As I Am, which was released in 1993, sold 2 million copies and spawned such number one hits as \"Wild One\" (her debut country single) and a rendition of rocker Janis Joplin's \"Piece of My Heart\". Two years later she followed up with It Matters To Me, whose production was delayed due to an operation on her vocal chords. The album was certified triple platinum, and spawned such hits as \"A Man's Home Is His Castle\", about domestic abuse, and the title track which stayed at number one for 3 weeks. Faith's third album, Faith sold even more than her previous album releases, selling 4 million copies. Her current album, Breathe, has already sold 3 million copies, while her single \"This Kiss\" has been at number one for several weeks and has received airplay on country music stations, pop stations, and adult contemporary stations around the world. The singles \"Breathe\" and \"The Way You Love Me\" have also been number one for 4-6 weeks. Recipient of this year's Academy of Country Music Award for Top Female Vocalist and Video of the Year for the single \"Breathe\", Faith has already received the Academy of Country Music Award for Favorite New Female in 1994; the TNN/Music City News Single of the Year for \"This Kiss\" in 1998; and named Female Vocalist of the Year in 1999 by TNN/Music City News, among many other awards and honors. This year alone, she was nominated for 5 Academy of Country Music Awards. Faith performed in the closing ceremonies of the 1996 Summer Olympic Games in Atlanta, sang the national anthem at Super Bowl XXXIV and performed at this year's Oscar ceremony. Not only is she a recent spokesmodel for Cover Girl cosmetics, she also appears in the latest Pepsi commercials. Voted one of People magazine's 50 Most Beautiful People in the World and founder of the Faith Hill Family Literacy Project, the multi-platinum recording artist is married to country singer Tim McGraw, father of her two daughters, Gracie and Maggie.

She just wrapped ''Possession,'' a romantic drama she shot in England with Gwynie as a British university prof who joins forces with an American scholar Aaron Eckhart (''Erin Brockovich''). It's not like they're just sitting around reading the classics--thank goodness. They're also researching two famous Victorian poets who fell in love. Jeremy Northam (Paltrow's ''Emma'' co-star) and Jennifer Ehle (''Paradise Road'') are the word wizards. The two screen couples never met on the set as their stories are set 150 years apart. ''Aaron and I only met Jeremy and Jennifer in passing,'' Paltrow says. ''It's very weird saying you're in the same movie but admitting you didn't get to do any scenes together.'' Kind of like Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta Jones in the movie about the drug wars, Traffic.

But when tennis pin-up Anna Kournikova came face-to-face with Enrique Iglesias on the set of his latest video, the pop star son of legendary Spanish crooner Julio Iglesias baulked at the 20-year-old Russian temptress's less-than-perfect complexion. After filming introductory shots at Hollywood's Universal City Walk shopping mall, the couple disappeared into a closed set to record the long, lingering kiss that was to be the climax of the promotional video for Iglesias's forthcoming single, Escape. The crew waited outside as the cameras rolled. But Enrique, 26, emerged alone to complain to director Dave Myers that he couldn't kiss Kournikova. Enrique said he was a little uncomfortable about the zits around her mouth. Make-up crews were rushed on to the set to mask the tennis starlet's blemishes. Insiders said Kournikova appeared crippled by nerves at the start of last week's shoot and at one point dissolved into tears after being told her pimples turned Enrique off. The day's filming was made all the more tense by Kournikova's late arrival at an interior shoot in Long Beach the previous evening. But the problems with the video shoot will surely prove to be only a glitch in her ambition to become a Hollywood actor once her tennis career is over.

Plant it slightly to one side of the pot, leaving room for the pole which is made of a broom handle with a wire hanging basket attached to the top. 3 Weave the stems evenly up the side of the pole and secure with plastic ties. 4 At the top of the pole, weave the ivy into the basket, pinch out the growing tips and as it matures keep it clipped to maintain the shape. from ( http://www.gardenersworld.beeb.com/gw/tvrm/19990604gwfs/page05/ ) :-)))"}, {"response": 3, "author": "mikeg", "date": "Sat, Mar 17, 2001 (05:13)", "body": "I just noticed from the results of my web search that Terry (sprin5) mentioned Rachel in his 'Top 5 Babes' list in April of 1998 :-) Do you have any pics, Terry?"}, {"response": 4, "author": "mikeg", "date": "Sat, Mar 17, 2001 (05:21)", "body": "Rachel is also known as \"Rachel De Thame\" (maiden name perhaps?).

This is a big biography that is quite interesting. Play the Garden Game with Rachel BBC2 Gardeners' World presenter Rachel de Thame has deeply personal reasons for launching a contest to aid cancer victims, as she explains to CHARLOTTE BRADSHAW. ONE would think that as a former ballerina, model and actress, Rachel de Thame would be accustomed to attracting attention. But, as it turns out, the striking 36-year-old recruit to BBC2's hardy perennial, Gardeners' World, is actually something of a shrinking violet. Asked how she is coping with her new-found fame, she snorts with laughter. \"It's gardening that we are talking about, not pop music - I am not the new Posh Spice.\" True, but she is the new Charlie Dimmock, or at least that is what some have called her. Gardening, however, is not the only passion in Rachel's life. She is also an ardent campaigner for the Macmillan Cancer Relief Fund. On Monday she will launch a Virtual Garden Game, which will form part of the World's Biggest Coffee Morning, sponsored by the Internet's ntl and supported by the Daily Express. It is hoped that the event will raise public awareness and generate \ufffd2million-plus for Macmillan - players will have the opportunity to make on-screen donations. Rachel will invite keen gardeners to try their luck at growing a virtual garden. For four weeks gardeners taking part online will need to water, feed and protect three virtual plants from all sorts of natural catastrophes. The winner will receive a holiday in Turkey to see its famous indigenous tulips, progenitors of the species that now flourish so profusely in Holland. It is a charity that Rachel holds dear to her heart because, like so many people, her life has been touched by cancer. Six years ago, when she was dating Gerard, now her husband, she was affected by the death of his father from the disease. \"I hadn't known him for long,\" she says, \"but in the space of a short time we became very close. He was cared for by some excellent Macmillan nurses and so I was able to witness at first hand what an outstanding job they did. \"When people are told that they have cancer the initial shock is enormous. Part of the work that the Macmillan nurses do is to help you not feel so afraid of the big cancer thing. We are all so terrified by it and by the treatment - particularly people who know they are dying. I have great admiration for people who deal with that enormously difficult task on a daily basis.\" RACHEL is an intensely private person, fiercely protective of Gerard, who directs TV commercials, and her two children from her first marriage, Lauren, 11 and Joe, nine. This is an unusual trait for a woman who has spent her life in front of cameras. \"I am trying to take it easy,\" she says. \"I do turn a lot of things down that I would do if I was keen for publicity, but I am wary of doing that. I am older and have a family and I am trying to build a long-term career. If you get an instant response, the more likely it is that your career will be instantly over. I want to get to the stage where others in the field respect me as a good gardener. That is what would mean the most to me.\" Becoming a presenter of a gardening programme has certainly taken hard work. Until she was 19 Rachel went to the Royal Ballet School and was on track to become a professional ballerina. After a bad case of glandular fever signalled the end of her career, however, she spent most of her 20s working as a model and actress. \"I did 80 television commercials,\" she recalls, \"though most were shown abroad. I managed to have a really good and busy career without becoming well known, which was absolutely perfect.\" It was then that she decided to develop her love of gardening into a career and registered for two years at the English Garden School at Chelsea Physic Garden. When a leaflet went round asking graduates of the college to do a screen test for Gardeners' World, she felt that her green fingers and experience as a model would be the perfect combination. \"I grew up with parents who were keen on gardening and spent every weekend taking me to garden centres. I was always surrounded by plants and some of their power must have seeped in. Gardener's World has always been part of the furniture of my life. I associate plants with being happy and with happy times.\" And is she the new Charlie? \"Being compared to Charlie is very flattering. She has done so much to encourage women to go into the garden and get stuck in. But I am sure Charlie gets fed up with the comparison. Gardeners tend to be very good natured people, with patience and the ability to share plants and advice. So, hopefully, there is room for more than one female gardening presenter.\" But Rachel will undoubtedly blossom on our screens for some time to come.

And Allie's ex lover just happens to be a member of the firm and he's married to a gal that has a jaw and blonde hair that Allie doesn't have. Billy, the ex lover of Allie, has mixed emotions And Allie has become friends with Billy's wife. We're talking age ranges of 25-28 here, folks. My theory is that this is a guy type show, and that women will find it embarassing. I don't think it will end up on the feminist top ten listing of tv shows, maybe the bottom ten. The women are too cute and too bimboish at times. And the women aren't the aggressive, free wheeling Marcia Clark types, they're quite timid usually. But how can you not like a show whose lead actress is *** Calista Flockhart *** That name just does it for me. I would love to have a girlfriend like her just so I could introduce her to people.

The beauty and natural ability that Zellweger exhibited as Cruise's love interest caught the attention of critics and audiences alike. Though she was passed by at that year's Oscars, she won several other awards for her work, including the title of Best Breakthrough Performer by the National Board of Review. Of Swiss and Norwegian parentage, the willowy, strawberry blonde actress was born in Katy, TX, a small town located near Houston. The town was so small that it possessed neither cable television nor a movie theater. As a result, Zellweger reportedly did not see her first art film until she was a student at the University of Texas in Austin. Her career at U.T. was an exceptional one; a regular on the dean's list, she graduated a year early with a B.A. in Radio, Film, and Television. While in college, Zellweger took an acting class and discover d a knack for performing; following graduation, she made her feature-film debut with a bit part in Richard Linklater's Dazed and Confused (1993). She had her first real role playing a whacked-out waitress in Love and a .45 (1994), for which she won her first Independent Spirit Award nomination; she won a second nomination for The Whole Wide World (1996), earning additional acclaim at various film festivals. Following the tremendous success of Jerry Maguire, Zellweger went on to prove herself as a versatile actress able to play roles ranging from an ambitious journalist (who temporarily shelves her career to care for her mother) in One True Thing (1998) to a rebellious Hassidic Jew in Boaz Yakin's A Price Above Rubies (1998). She then exhibited a capacity for romantic comedy in The Bachelor (1999), starring as the long-suffering girlfriend of a serial commitment-phobic Chris O'Donnell. Zellweger's second role as a whacked-out waitress in Nurse Betty won her the Best Actress in a Comedy Award at the 2000 Gold n Globes. Nominated for yet another Golden Globe the following year for her memorable performance in Bridget Jones' Diary, that same role also earned Zellweger her maiden Oscar nod. The following few years found Zellweger's leading lady status growing and numerous lucrative film offers flowing in, and the release of White Oleander (2002) the starlet recieved numerous positive reviews despite the films lackluster performance. Later that same year, Zellweger was on top of the world when she recieved rave reviews for her role in Chicago. Based on the popular Broadway musical of the same name, director Rob Marshall's flashy cinematic extravaganza recieved nearly unanimous praise accompanied by multiple Academy Award nominations, including a second Best Actress in a Leading Role nod to Ms. Zellweger for her lively performance. Though Zelleger would ultimately be beaten out for the Oscar by Nicole Kidman, there evidently weren't any hard feelings as the two starred together in Anthony Minghella's Cold Mountain. T e performance netted Zellweger her third Oscar nomination in as many years, and on February 29, 2004, her losing streak ended as she took home the award for Best Actress in a Supporting Role. Attempting to keep up the momentum, Zellweger returned to the character that earned her her first Academy Award nomination, starring in the sequel to Bridget Jones's Diary, Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason. After a limited release in December 2004, the film is slated to open wide in early 2005. ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide"}, {"response": 27, "author": "cfadm", "date": "Thu, Sep  9, 2004 (23:56)", "body": "AbsoluteNow: Renee Zellweger http://celebs.absolutenow.com/renee_zellweger/biography.html.. .

Born on the 25th of April, 1969 (that makes her 31 by now) in Houston, Texas. Her father, Emil, is a Swiss oil refinery engineer and her mother, Kjellfried, is a Norwegian nurse. She was raised in the small town of Katy, Texas (10 miles west of Houston, 30 miles west of Houston downtown). Katy was too small that it didn't have any movie theater nor cable. It only had its first movie theater back in 1989 and Renee didn't see her first film until she was in college. Renee and his older brother Andrew, nicknamed Drew, were the first Zellwegers in their family to be born in America so don't go asking them to change their last name into something more pronounceable. She attended Katy High School and was part of the Thespian Society, the Drama Club, the track team, the basketball team, was a football cheerleader, a KHS Homecoming Queen nominee in her senior year , and in her spare time practiced gymnastics. She had hopes of joining the Olympics until the age of 19 when she discovered that her vision of \"Olympic Glory\" would never happen. After graduating from Katy High in 1987, Renee moved from her hometown to Austin, Texas. She earned a living in Austin as a waitress at Sugar's, a popular Austin topless bar (though she herself was not topless) while attending the University of Texas for her B.A. in English, majoring in Journalism. She apparently did exceptionally well, making the Dean's List several times. Renee lived in an off-campus dorm in Dobie Mall in her freshmen year, and then moved into an apartment on West 221/2 St. in her junior year. Sad to say, she lived in the Railyard apartment complex on 4th Street with a boyfriend her senior year, and later moved into a house with him in Westlake (Austin's high-class suburb). She eventually moved out and into an apartment on Riverside Drive. Renee had taken a theater class to fulfill one of her liberal arts requirements. She acted in a few school theater productions and often found herself driving her red Honda Civic CRX to Dallas to audition for film parts. She worked in a few local commercials for beer companies and fast food restaurants. In 1988, Renee got herself a pet. A d g named Dylan, named after the singer. She is a labrador/collie mix and Renee has give Dylan a variety of nicknames such as Woof, Woofro and Woofer. After graduating from college, Renee worked on a few movies with tiny bit parts in 'My Boyfriend's Back',''Dazed and Confused', 'Reality Bites', '8 Seconds' and a few TV movies before starring in the independent film 'Love and a .45' and making her way into Hollywood. 'Dazed and Confused' starred many of the Gen-X we see in the movies now, but because of the budget, Renee could only work as a background person. You could spot her wearing a red 'n blue stripped top and white pants. In the movie there's a party in the park and you'll see Renee several times blending in, but she she really stands out sitting on the hood of a green truck pouring beer down Parker Posey's mouth. Renee's first lead starring role was in 'The Return of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre' working along with her co-star in 'Dazed and Confused', Matthew McConaughey. While working on Texas Chainsaw, she caught word of another film project that had started casting. Renee continued working at Sugar's and did more commercials until she decided to move to California in 1993. Renee moved into a little garage apartment in West Hollywood with Dylan. When she arrived in L.A., the phone was ringing off the hook for Renee to 'do lunch'. She singed up with the management company of Gallin-Morey & Associates (Beverly Hills) having John Carrabino as her manager. This is the same management company of Nicole Kidman, Michael Jackson and Mariah Carey. She also singed up with United Talent Agency (Beverly Hills), having Nick Stevens as her agent. For several years she had a boyfriend - an actor she declines to name - in and out of her place but that ended centuries ago. .). She was tied to Josh Pate, who, with his twin brother Jonas, directed Renee in 'Deceiver', released in January 1998. She starred in 'Empire Records' and was chosen to star in 'The Whole Wide World' (also shot in the Austin area). This role opened the door for her role in 'Jerry Maguire', a film which passed over W nona Ryder, Mira Sorvino, Marisa Tomei and Bridget Fonda for the then-unknown Ren\ufffde. Her performance as Dorothy Boyd won her unanimous critical praise and introduced her to a legion of adoring fans. She has been honored with a SAG nomination for 'Jerry Maguire', and Independent Spirit Award nomination for 'The Whole Wide World', but was unfairly denied an Academy Award nomination for either film. She has been seen most recently in 'Deceiver' with Chris Penn and Tim Roth, in which she plays a prostitute who gets murdered, the controversial independent drama 'A Price Above Rubies' about a Hasidic Jew woman who has a scandalous affair with a Latin lo"}, {"response": 29, "author": "terry", "date": "Fri, Sep 10, 2004 (00:04)", "body": "You can find a wealth of information and pictures of Rene Zellweger on our site, http://firth.com . . . especially her movies with Colin Firth, the Bridget Jones series which may go on forever."}, {"response": 30, "author": "terry", "date": "Thu, Mar 10, 2005 (08:04)", "body": "Nice reddish hair! babes conference Main Menu"}]}, {"num": 61, "subject": "Adriana Sklenarikova", "response_count": 10, "posts": [{"response": 1, "author": "mikeg", "date": "Mon, Apr 30, 2001 (20:20)", "body": ""}, {"response": 2, "author": "mikeg", "date": "Mon, Apr 30, 2001 (20:20)", "body": ""}, {"response": 3, "author": "mikeg", "date": "Mon, Apr 30, 2001 (20:21)", "body": "This one is beautiful..."}, {"response": 4, "author": "mikeg", "date": "Mon, Apr 30, 2001 (20:21)", "body": "Nice botty coming up :-)"}, {"response": 5, "author": "mikeg", "date": "Mon, Apr 30, 2001 (20:22)", "body": "grrrrrrrrrRRRROWWWWWWWLLLLLLLLLLL"}, {"response": 6, "author": "mikeg", "date": "Mon, Apr 30, 2001 (20:23)", "body": "I just can't stop posting her pictures.

Madonna would've been twenty-five years old, and probably hadn't been a virgin for ten years, something she clearly was quite proud of.

It's hard to remember a time when Madonna's sexual antics would generate post-doctoral essays, op-ed columns, and long scholarly treatises by the likes of Camille Paglia and Andrea Dworkin. Compare it to the current buzz about Britney Spears' precarious virginity. It's largely relegated to celebrity Web gossip, women's magazines and giggling chat-line speculation. The past few months have seen a resurgence of is-she-or-isn't-she speculation, much of it fed by Britney herself. Recently the New York Post quoted some yahoo who supposedly overheard Brit> bragging about buying her boyfriend a pair of handcuffs and having \"amazing sex,\" and it was a big story. Ditto when she reportedly told German journalists that \"chocolate is better than an orgasm.\" Such coyness knows more reputable bounds: in an Elle magazine interview last summer, Britney claimed that Sarah Jessica Parker's Sex and the City character was \"just like her\" and said, \"what they talk about on that show is so true.\""}, {"response": 3, "author": "terry", "date": "Sun, Mar 31, 2002 (22:30)", "body": "The above from http://www.nerve.com/opinions/gabriele/disingenue/"}, {"response": 4, "author": "MarciaH", "date": "Thu, Apr 25, 2002 (16:32)", "body": "A whole nuther glimpse into the Lord of the Spring.

It's probably because the word has the dreaded sexual connotation, although really it means much more than that. In moments of truth, crisis, or confidence, though, there is nothing wrong with a man touching another (hugging, arm around shoulder). Many European cultures are much more liberated about this than are uptight, still basic lly Puritanic Americans. It is no big deal in Italy or some African nations to see males who are not lovers holding hands. I have a Nigerian friend, and I have had to get used to that.

Actually, I'm in the middle of some major health issues I am trying to recover from, mostly my knee. I was in a horrible soccer accident about one month after the last post on here (March 7th, 2003). I have been in and out of orthopedic doctor's in physical therapy off and on now for 4 years. I have had 1 major knee surgery in August 2003, a minor one in January 2006, and I am going in for another one on the 21st of this month. I'll go into details for those that ask, but its such a complicated long story. No, it has nothing to do with the MCL, ACL, or meniscos. Yes, I have gotten to be a real whiz at the anatomy of the knee now. It's a lot worse than those type of injuries. I still cannot walk properly and may never. I use crutches sometimes and always wear a big ugly metal knee brace. I already have arthritis in my injured knee. The surgery I'm going in for this month is just basic anthroscopic....but it's only to buy me some more time, till I finish school. Then I will need major surgery again....worse than a knee replacement to realign my entire knee, which involves basically drilling holes into my leg bone. The recovery is long with 6 months in bed. And the sad part is it is only a 70% gurantee that it will work. After all I've been through 70% does not sound like very good odds considering all the doctors said 98% on my last surgeries. For right now I am completly against the major surgery. Besides, I'm more interested in finishing school right now. If I have to walk up to the podium on crutches at my graduation, so be it. I refuse to stop school just so I can have a horrifying surgery that may not even work. I'm in pretty good spirits considering. My boyfriend, Trevor, of 1.5 years, has helped me through things and kept my mind off it which I need desperatly right now. I've been rethinking a lot o my dreams and goals wondering if I will be able to accomplish them. I also wonder how many years I will have left until I cannot use that leg at all.

Trained at a London drama and dance school, Anwar appeared in many BBC-TV productions before making her film debut in the U.S.-Yugoslavian production Manifesto (1988). She followed with If Looks Could Kill (1991) before making a splash (literally) as real-life \"diving girl\" on horseback Sonora Webster in the sincere and underrated Disney picture Wild Hearts Can't Be Broken (1991). Had the film been a hit, it could have been a star-making vehicle for the radiant Anwar (who also managed to suppress her British accent for this American role).

Christina said that both Britney and her practiced kissing Madonna at rehearsal and Christina was comfortable with it but Britney was not. Madonna had to keep on saying: kiss me, Britney kiss me. Christina was then asked if she thought Britney needed to loosen up? Christina said \"yeah but I think she needs to loosen up in general\". That's harsh especially coming from someone who just performed with her and had a performance of a lifetime. Justin said he was not shocked by the performance and that he liked it, he said it was sexy and he wont take that away from anyone up there. Justin also said the cameras were right there and as soon as Madonna and Britney kissed they just went in his face and that is the reason why he had a weird facial expression.

Not only did the ladies show off some blood-pressure-raising moves, their kisses were nothing like the infamous mouth mush between Michael Jackson and Lisa Marie Presley and far more like something from late-night Cinemax.

After Britney sang several verses from \"Like a Virgin,\" Aguilera came out and picked up the vocals for what was the pair's first performance together since the Mickey Mouse Club.

Then Madonna descended from the cake, dressed in black and singing \"Hollywood\" Dancing provocatively with her two prot\ufffdg\ufffds, she planted a sexy smooch on Britney's mouth, then turned and delivered one to Christina.

Then Christina Aguilera showed up, raven-haired, but also in wedding gear, to give power and range to the chorus. The girls half-heartedly danced a duet tribute to Madonna's 1984 bridal writhe. And at last Madonna herself emerged, wearing thigh-high vinyl boots, a top hat, and tails. She sang a little, in her usual Rex Harrison bark-it-out way. But the trio did have a surprise in store. Madonna had come as the man\ufffdthe sugar daddy, maybe, twirling the little girls, keeping them in line, and finally kissing Spears. She also kissed Aguilera, to be fair, but the camera barely registered it, and we all know that Madonna has long leered at Britney. Britney swooned into the kiss, her mouth soft. The small thrill of this kiss was real to me because, though girls making out with girls is an old party stunt, this time it came off as female lechery: overmuscled, rich, landed matriarch Madonna (in tails, no less) preying on sweetie Spears, who (in wedding white) hasn't even had a first marriage yet. \"Hollywood,\" Madonna cooed as she brushed hair tenderly from Britney's face. \"How could it hurt you when it looks so good?\" I expect we'll see this wise-woman/callow-girl romance around more now.

Knight was accused of sending threatening and violent letters to acquaintances of the actress, including her agent and her husband, actor Michael Douglas. One letter said: \"We are going to slice her up like meat on a bone and feed her to the dogs.\" Knight, who was arrested June 3 at her Beverly Hills home, allegedly apologized in another letter, claiming she had been in love with Douglas. Some letters made references to the 1969 Manson family murders and the violent deaths of President Kennedy and Nicole Brown Simpson. Knight also was accused of making four threatening telephone calls to the actress. Knight's attorney, Richard P. Herman, could not immediately be reached for comment.

After Pamela's mother passed away when she was nine years old, she decided to stay with the dance group (dedicating the years to her mother) and performed through-out Michigan for eleven more years. Realizing her love of dance Pamela eagerly learned other forms of dance to add to her repertoire. With a desire to perform and her father's advice about the real world, she studied Liberal Arts and Musical Theater at Macomb College. Reading electric meters was a way to pay the bills but jumping fences and getting bit by dogs had its toll, so she decided to trade in the Timberlands for dance shoes and moved to Miami which lead to Japan and eventually New York. She has pursued her dancing and acting on stage, film, t.v., and music videos. She is concentrating more on acting and has a long list of modeling work under her belt.

By COLIN WILLS. 1,556 words 26 August 2001 The Sunday Mirror English (c) 2001 Mirror Group Ltd EXCLUSIVE: OLGA THE TAKE ME TEMPTRESS ON LOVE SCENES AND WIFE-SWAPPING THE group of lads having a beer in the bar next door to the studio suddenly forget all about the Arsenal match when Olga Sosnovska walks past. \"It's 'er,\" they whisper, steam rising from their crew-cut heads. \"It's that wife-swapping bird.\" Such is the price of arriving virtually out of nowhere to become the sexiest thing on British television this summer. Olga has pushed the male temperature gauge well into the red zone since she was paired off with Robson Green in the ITV drama Take Me, the climax of which is screened tomorrow night. The sexual electricity between them in the series, set among professional people on a plush estate who swap partners as casually as they swap recipes for chicken Kiev, has turned Take Me into one of the most controversial series for years. We met on the day Olga flew back South following a filming assignment deep in the pine forests of Scotland. Even in the Highlands, where the only things that swing are the pipers' sporrans, they went through the nudge-nudge, wink-wink rituals when they caught sight of her. A gorgeous woman playing a wife-swapper. How close to the heart of the male fantasy bank do you want to get? And, when you come to mention it, how un-British. \"That's what I thought,\" Olga, who was born in Poland, says. \"You think of Britain, you think repression, you think unemotional, you think the sort of characters played by Hugh Grant. When I first read the script I thought: 'What a bizarre thing to choose to do.' But apparently it's going on all over the place. It's quite the fashion among up-and-coming business people, I'm told. When I mentioned it to my girlfriends expecting them to squeal with laughter they'd say: 'Oh yes, my sister lives on an expensive estate and they're at it all the time.'\" Take Me was filmed in Newcastle, Robson Green's home city, where he can do no wrong. \"He's a sex god up there,\" Olga says. \"I was having my legs waxed in Newcastle one day and happened to mention I was in a series with Robson. You should have seen the reaction. Everyone stopped work, they all wanted to see for themselves the woman who was doing love scenes with their hero. I sensed a lot of envy in the air. I bet they charged me double.\" Sadly, the only person not getting hot under the collar about what Olga and Robson were getting up to was Olga's husband. \"It's disappointing really. When we watched it he laughed out loud at the very scenes I thought would make him insanely jealous. That's the trouble with being married to an actor. They know it's just a job, like peeling potatoes.\" NOT that Olga's a stranger to the raunchy scene. Her first appearance on British TV was in The Vice, where she was the girlfriend of a detective played by Marc Warren. \"He had a taste for bondage and at one point I was chained naked to a bed. Marc was more nervous than I was. Like everything else, it looked much sexier than it was. We both wore what they call 'modesty pads' which are sort of sideless knickers. \"We did voice-overs for the sound track, jumping up and down on the mattress to get the noise of twanging bedsprings and going: 'Ooh, yess, aaaah', to give the impression of sexual abandon. I don't think I would do it now, but it was my first TV job and so I grabbed it. In Take Me, for all its swinging and sexiness, I never appear nude. I left it to the other actors to do all the work in that department. \"Beth Goddard, who plays Robson's wife, and myself hammered on the director's door on Day One and said: 'We're not doing it.' Robson was sort of duty bound to appear nude, he being the North-East sex colossus. But deep down I don't think he enjoys it all that much.\" Take Me, with tomorrow's shock ending, could open the door to international stardom for 28-year-old Olga. Later this week she flies off to live in America, and her husband, an American, is house-hunting in New York.

Reclining sensually on a sofa with a bowl of ripe strawberries, Keira has spoken for the first time about her love for model Jamie Dornan - and she admits she's fallen head-over-heels. Keira, 19, star of new movie King Arthur says: \"Jamie's great, I'm mad about him. He keeps me sane when things get stressful and we always have fun together.\" Irish-born Jamie, 22, recently moved into Keira's \ufffd1.5million flat in Mayfair, Central London. But despite rumours that they have been shopping for engagement rings, she she insists it's too early to think of marriage. Keira, who found fame in the hit films Bend It Like Beckham and Pirates Of The Caribbean, says: \"I'm way too young. One day in the future, maybe, but marriage and kids are just not on my mind at the moment.\" Despite her seven-month romance, Keira admits she took a fancy to Matthew Macfadyen, who plays Darcy to her Elizabeth Bennet, in a new Pride and Prejudice film. \"He's absolutely lovely,\" Keira giggles. \"He's gorgeous, and a real gentleman. The only sad thing is he won't be emerging from a lake dripping in water like Colin Firth did in the TV version.\" Keira - once described as \"the sexiest tomboy beanpole on the planet - wore \ufffd250,000 worth of diamonds on loan from Asprey for the King Arthur launch party. Afterwards, she said: \"I get really nervous at these things that I'll lose a diamond or something. I keep having to tell myself, 'This is a \ufffd10 necklace from Topshop,' otherwise I freak out.\" My friend in NYC, John Long, recently escorted Keira to the after party for the Colin Firth movie that opened not too long ago. ."}, {"response": 8, "author": "terry", "date": "Fri, Nov 11, 2005 (06:24)", "body": "too good to pass up"}, {"response": 9, "author": "GregKenkel", "date": "Mon, Jul 31, 2006 (09:16)", "body": "babes conference Main Menu"}]}, {"num": 92, "subject": "guess the babe", "response_count": 28, "posts": [{"response": 1, "author": "terry", "date": "Tue, Sep  7, 2004 (17:33)", "body": "Guess this babe."}, {"response": 2, "author": "cfadm", "date": "Fri, Sep 10, 2004 (07:31)", "body": "OK, no takers.
