“Actually their performances were better than his when they did it, Britney/Christina did things like this at peak of their careers, and Madonna made her career by doing this because she is an excellent entertainer, this guy is neither a good singer, nor an excellent entertainer. American Idol is overrated, 2 semi stars Clarkson & country Chick outa 8 seasons in nothing impressive.”

“I thought Janet did great. Maybe her brother's death is making her more cautious but I think that's why she pulled off her performance. She sang all her old songs but didn't try to dance all the old dances.”

“I agree.”

“u should use a better source of reference besides ur teen daughter to tell u the worth of any artist....”

“Spot on. The more 'established' a critic is (i.e. Roger Ebert) the more rational it seems they are - imho. When you're getting your reviews from a less-established source - all bets are off.”

“Not true. There are Democrats in that bunch, but the majority are Republicans. I'm from MS. They may vote Democratic but they won't tell anybody.”

“and there are democrats there for the sing along.......i guarantee you if you were to ask 80% of the people there if they thought it was racist they would say no.......

just like all the protests over the tomahawk chop done by the crowd for the braves

but good god we must stop that now”

“ever hear of the dixiecrats?”

“So you're implying that any black student at LSU or Ole Miss has no self respect, and that they would be better served at a university desinged for "them," like Grambling or Alcorn?”

“They were given 800 billion reasons to believe it to be the case.”

“Well, though I don't think any of us can be perfectly sure that Megan Fox's MENTAL age has even as of yet necessarily reached that big "Birthday # 1" mark, It is nice to see that you're clearly raisiing a great young future board-certified urologist there !, MonteCarlo : ).”

“Good way to defuse the sensations- redirection. Or perhaps your wife is looking over your shoulder and is wondering what your looking at.

"Ehem, hey, my daughter used to pose like that. Grow up Megan"

Good one.”

“I kind of feel like the word celebrity is an insult these days. When I see pics of famous people hob-nobbing I generally sift them into two groups: talented or untalented. People who are famous for being famous go in the untalented pool. People who used to have talent but only get by on their fame also go into the untalented pool. People in the untalented pool seem like "celebrities" to me.

Either of those types in the untalented pool *can* redeem themselves by producing new work. So it's not impossible that Levi's photospread could catapult him into an acting career but it's worth noting that Burt Reynolds had already built his career up before he did his infamous Cosmo spread. Jenny McCarthy's surprised me by sticking around for such a long time. She had been such an annoying nobody on MTV's Singled Out back in the day...since having been in Playboy didn't really matter to me much.”

“AMEN!”

“I've been here in France since 2000 (moved here from San Francisco).

I visited the U.S. twice a year ago and was actually surprised (cause I have forgotten) when I ordered food at a restaurant. The plate was huge, the portions were also ginormous. I would have asked to take the leftover food but honestly, I now realize that the food in the States is quite tasteless compared to the food here in France.

Here in France, we buy things that are in season and produce that are in season are usually very tasty. I recall that in the U.S., we can buy almost everything at any time of the year but somehow since these items are mostly not grown organically, they are not tasty as well. I think that no matter what I ate while I was there, it all tasted the same - flat... avocado didn't task like avocado, breast of chicken tasted flat as well. I actually started missing food here in France after a few days.

I think there is a market for simple, fresh, and ready made food in the U.S. The portions can also be made smaller. I would love to open 'traiteurs' that would sell this kind of food to americans. Food does not have to be expensive to be good. Delicious food also does not have to cost much.”
