Pop Goes The World

[Feeling very trashy-pop-culture today. Some points to ponder...]

[Except for one hint at their kids being "props," the well-publicized Cruise-Kidman split has yet to generate one gossip columnist speculation on The Rumor about el Cruise.]

[Did you read Liz Smith today? Her blind item about a certain other recent celebrity break-up couldn't have been less blind.]

[My co-worker Sara and I ask: is Fonzarelli a real Italian last name?]

[Does Benicio del Toro REALLY look like Brad Pitt? Half the respondents say yes, the other half (fans of Benicio, usually) say no.]

[I'm getting less and less excited about seeing "Hannibal." Much of the genius of "The Silence of the Lambs" was that most of the gore was left to our imagination.]

[OK, I got that out of my system. For now. Tonight, John and I are taking off for a quiet weekend up in Sonoma. The ancestors are out of town, and we've got a cat, a hot tub, a free washer and dryer, and a wine cellar to ourselves. Woo-hoo!]
