Haines His Way

Strange day today.  I had a weird run-in with the new neighbor above me this morning.  She's a youngt bimbo who got on the elevator talking into her cellphone.  To whomever she was speaking she was talking about being at the TODAY show since she was representing Tim Russert.  One of her classic comments between the first and third floors:  "Katies' breasts are not to be discussed."

A week ago I sat on the bus next to a fat woman who insisted on letting all of us passengers hear her private business as she loudly talked into a cellphone.  What drives these rude assholes?

Jason, just wanted to let you know that I'll be at the theatre this evening to watch Miss Chita. Since it's a pick up ticket I don't know where I will be sitting but we will probably be close enough to chat with each other.

I have been errant and truant for many days now. I just got off the exercise bike (and I took a shower) after a morning of shopping and lunch. Now I'm visiting you fine folk.

I think I mentioned posting a link for Anthony's Volkswagen spot. It's a the Volkswagen Web site. Click on this link and you're taken to a site with a picture of a Passat. Click on Launch the Mini-Site Now (or something similar, I don't remember the exact wording), and if Film No. 94 doesn't load and play, click on it (it's a thumbnail of Anthony sideways) and you'll see a 15 second "film" (VW's words) about a safety feature of the new car. You need Flash on your computer to watch it but if you can open those animated greeting cards you probably already have flash installed. You don't need headphones because there is no sound. I wouldn't recommend trying it if all you have is dial up. It takes at least 15 minutes to load. Check out some of the other clips also. There are not yet 120 15 second spots loaded but there are many, many pieces and lots of them are funny.

I didn't recommend any cure or poltice.....don't drag ME into this thing.  The whole mishagoss has just been TOO much for me.

Let's talk about Katie's breasts.

Britney Nixes 'Charity' Work
 
Spears not Broadway bound; Plus, Nicole and Keith's family togetherness, the latest on Nick and Jessica, Xtina's moniker musings and more ...
 
Britney Spears apparently isn't ready to trade poopie diapers and midnight feedings for the bright lights of Broadway. The Insider reports the semi-retired pop starlet, who gave birth to Sean Preston in September, has taken a pass on a "very lucrative offer" to headline "Sweet Charity."

The Britster, 23, would have replaced Christina Applegate as the titular lovelorn dancer, with her employment-challenged hubby Kevin Federline reportedly in line for a hoofer role.

"Britney said she couldn't do it because of 'family issues,'" a mole tells the Insider.

Seems they shelled out big bucks for a private jet and deluxe accommodations for the Federlines, who took in the show during a mid-November trip to New York.

"The producers didn't mind," says the snitch. "They thought they'd make that money back right away once she said yes."

But Britney ultimately turned her back on the Great White Way "because she didn't want to uproot her family to New York and make such a long commitment," explains a Spears confidante. "Of course, she seriously considered it, but she's a new mom and Kevin has two other kids who are also on the West Coast."

You'll recall that it was just about a year ago that Mrs. Federline fired off a salvo to working mothers everywhere by declaring, "To be a really good mom, I feel your child needs to be your full-time job. I want to raise my kids and share all of those precious moments with them and not rely on nannies."
