This story gets priority and yet Richard Widmark's death gets zero coverage here!

Not necessarily were the ratings due to Ms Brit. Many people watch the Monday line-up every week, Ms. Brit or no Ms. Brit.

No comments, no pending comments. Somehow I get the feeling that "no comments allowed" on this story before long.

sparkey, the situation is getting worse. Very frustrating to bother commenting only to have nothing show up or other variations on the problem theme.

we are soon to witness the most spectacular comeback in show business history. the american people are desperate to reconnect with her. weeks go by without news as she reorients herself. now in unintermediated contact with her public- she will soon be britney again, with authority.
