Tracey Ullman To Host CFDA Awards, Michelle Obama To Be Honored

nytimes.com:

Ms. Ullman's proclivity for spoofing the designer community and its oddball characters is largely rooted in her admiration for fashion.

I did like her adness in the moviewith the actor who starred in " Dave" with Sigorney Waever, and she wanted to kill her husband and hired River Phoenix to kill him and he did it but the husband survuved and still took her back, because he was unfaithful, but still loved his Italian wiofe. Ha ha It wa sooooooooooofunny. Sorry for rambling
