If a petite cross-dresser ever steals my car, he'll be thrilled.

Panni...I'm sure we could find one if you're really desperate to get rid of those gowns.

Here's another entry to the weird celebrity baby names list (As in Apple - daughter of Paltrow and Martin). I just read that Courtney Cox and David Arquette's new baby is... Coco.
Coco Cox Arquette. Hope she doesn't stutter.

Maybe now that Anika Noni Rose won the tony she can excise the American Idol movie she was in. What was that name again. Justin Does Kelley? I didn't actually she the movie I was channel surfing and caught the final overhead shot of everyone dancing and wondering what movie it was. As the cast credits rolled I was just about to switch the channel until I saw Anika Noni Rose name. You've come a long way baby!

OH! MBarnum: I'm reading a book called "Running With Scissors" by a Mr. Augusten Burroughs, and ever since I started reading it, I can't help but imagine that this guy looks just like you. I'm not sure why, but he's you. Or you're him. He's a twelve year old and his parents are divorced. His mom has gone crazy and left him to stay with a dirty psychiatrist and his dirty family. He feels totally out of control of his life--except for his clothes and his hair.

Jason, when you finish reading RUNNING WITH SCISSORS, be sure you read Mr. Burroughs sequel, DRY, about his life in New York City.

Oh, wow...I had no idea that Anika was in FROM JUSTIN TO KELLY. I actually saw that movie on opening day. I was in Pennsylvania doing summerstock...there was nothing else to do. She's far too good to be in dreck like FJTK. There again, I can appreciate a paycheck. I'm sure she appreciated it, too.

What are they trying to prove? Don't the realize what that their names will do for them when they get to school. Bad enough being parents of celebs but to be saddle with a oddball names.

And oh an interesting piece of trivia. Courtney Cox's brother-in-law is being coming her sister-in-law.

If it's as good a read as RUNNING WITH SCISSORS, I'll be glad to! He apparently has a third book out, too...SELLEVISION.

I'm not quite sure what is making me listen to this over and over, but Tonya's big number is pretty incredible despite her obvious vocal problems. I think this the ninth or tenth time I've listened to it.

Ditto to the "What"?

Such a statement and no elaboration?

As many folks here probably know, Alexis Arquette has been cross-dressing for some time and building a career, too. I'm "guessing" Michael is referring to Alexis, but I suppose we'll find out...in time.....

Jason, have you ever read any of David Sedaris' writings? Funny stuff, like Burroughs. (David Sedaris is the brother of my latest pretend girlfriend, Amy Sedaris, star of Strangers With Candy)

I know that SELLEVISION is available, but it is a novel, not a memoir, so I haven't gotten around to reading it yet. However, it does look like a very funny take on QVC.

Dan: I'm obsessed with Mr. Sedaris' work. I just finished his new book on Sunday and on Friday I ordered a 14-disc boxed set of him reading his work. I should hopefully have it tomorrow. The story he tells in ME TALK PRETTY ONE DAY about the towels and the mystery wiper just makes me howl with laughter. I mean, doubled over in laughter with tears running down the cheeks kind of guffawing. His short stories in BARREL FEVER are hilarious, too.

I love Amy Sedaris. For such a good looking girl, she sure uglied herself up for "Strangers With Candy." I think she's a great comedianne and I wish that she and David would write a full-length play. I know they worked on THE SANTALAND DIARIES together, but that's a one man show, I think...

They did write a full length play that played in NYC last year, but I can't remember the title at the mo'. (I've only been pretending to see Amy for a short time now, so I'm not completely familiar with all of her work.)

Jason you've become so obsessed with Tonya that ...let me be the first to break the news to you... You're starting to look like her.
Jason and and DanTM - Have you ever seen Amy Sedaris on Letterman? She and Dave have this sexy/funny (pretend) flirtation going and they're wonderful together.

I like to add little tidbits every now and then, but don't want to make them that easy. Its more fun to guess and do a little research.

Yes, I've seen them together and they were hilarious. I didn't even recognize Amy when I saw her. She's quite attractive. You'd never guess that from watching SWC.

I've seen them together many a time. In fact, I first fell for Amy the night she did an early morning tour of Christopher Street on Letterman's 4:00 AM show last month. But I can deal with their flirting because I can pretend to be secure with my relationship with Amy.

Amy is very attractive. I think she'd make a dandy replacement for Kristen Chenoweth in Wicked. (But I doubt that she'd do it.)

I'll have to see if it's published. If the two of them individually bowl me over, I can imagine what the two of them together came up with.

I've heard her sing on Letterman a few times. She has a clear sweet voice.

If you've read all of David Sedaris, you might like his protege David Rakoff (erstwhile collaborator of mine). I think he's a collection of autobiographical humorous pieces out called Fraud.

Dan-the-Man: THE BOOK OF LIZ is published by either Dramatist Publishing or Samuel French...I can't remember. It's available at Amazon.com. The reader reviews were mixed...they said it's more Amy and less David, but I love them both, so who cares, right??

Anyone else watching the final episode of WB SUPERSTAR? It's just cruel, and yet--I can't pull myself away from it!
