The chick who asks for money on her website was on TV today (Karyn with a "y"). I used to think it was pathetic how she put herself into huge debt and then thought people were dumb enough to send her money. Which they are!

After seeing her today, I realized I hated her because I'm jealous. She's not only paid off $15K of the twenty she owed but she has a book deal and a movie deal. A movie! Where does the plot of this movie go? Does she end up making cheap porn with Greg Kinnear?

On the show they took her to various department stores to film her ogling the fashion which almost seems kind of cruel. She would fondle the purses and then sadly say "I can't afford that now" and walk away. If she'd been an alchoholic (instead of a buyaholic) I don't see them taking her to a bar and waving drinks in her face. Buyahol is, I guess, a Government Sanctioned Addiction, so it doesn't really count. I've done alot of shopping in my day and I've seen alot of rabid buyers so I can safely say it was like watching a snake eat a live mouse. Minus all the balance of nature stuff. They basically took her to Fifth Avenue and filmed her squirming. Ok, it was kinda cool.

Sounds like Reese Witherspoon Territory to me.

I've officially reached saturation point for Bob Crane's sex life and anything I've conceivably missed is way past TMI. I'm dumbstruck someone took this idea, the star of a tepid sit-com about Nazis making amateur porn, and turned it into a whole movie. This week Entertainment Weekly interviewed Paul Schrader, the director, who ascribes all this mumbo-jumbo about obsession to the movie and makes a far-fetched idea just sound dull.

The thought of watching Bob Crane or Greg Kinnear having sex is more than my Gay Brain can handle. Any celebrity who doesn't think twice about knocking boots on film should be given a brain scan and now that this movie has come out, I guess anything is fair game.

If there's ever a movie (or TV movie) waiting to happen, it's the murder case in Florida involving those two young brothers. I don't know what's creepier, the details of their affair with the older man or the way the boys look. There's definately a whole "Children of the Corn" thing going on and it makes it hard to imagine these kids killing their father but stranger things have happened. If this whole spectacle blows over, there's sure to be an agent drooling over a way to put these china-doll looking youngsters to work. Maybe a remake of The Little Prince or as Christopher Robin in the live-action mauling of another beloved classic.

As for casting the parts of the angelic-looking defenders, it would be hard to find any genetic boys that could pull it off. I'd opt instead for another Boys Don't Cry scenario. Too bad the Olsen Twins are moving on to teenhood. These could have been the breakout roles that pushed them out of Brittany-Wannabe status into real acting. I'm presuming, of course, that acting is something they might want to try one day.

Looks, as we know, can be decieving. Being evil is certainly abetted by being ugly with an ax to grind but pretty people have agendas too. I know, I saw it in a movie once. You're denied a proper education because your teachers are bitterly resentful of your porcelain skin. Forced to play the lead in the class production of "The Drew Barrymore Story". Girls inwardly curse you because of your delicate features and boys inwardly curse you because you're a boy. It's a no-win situation that would drive anyone to a life of crime.

For an unbelievably sordid story, there have been amazingly fairy-tale-like characters cast. Even if they're not guilty of murder, their involvement is deeper than just circumstance. In the movie it will be the prince turning into the frog that will finally close the book on the Brothers Grimm.
