Paul’s passing and other sad stuff
By the DivaWe were super remiss not mentioning Paul Newman’s death. We knew he’d been ill, but hearing about it certainly stung. Perhaps the one thing that stands out is this: If our Hollywood stars did half as much philanthropic work as Paul — and also followed his lead to eschew Hollywood and an ego-driven life — how much more good could there be in the world? Astronomical potential for changing lives, no?
When much is given, much is expected. Paul’s charitable contributions nearly outshone his acting work and he will be remembered for being good, not just famous.
We admire the way he kept his marriage together, too. No small feat in his business or anyone’s really.
We’ll miss him, but at least we’ve got some yummy salad dressing and sauce.

Well, it’s a sad day on Wall Street, but candidly, we are happy the lawmakers in the House of Representatives said no to this bailout deal. It just enables the same greedy folks to keep on being greedy with no consequences. We know it’s far more complicated than that, but still. Stop throwing money at people who don’t know how to manage it. They deserve to be punished. Crash, burn and rebuild. And watch gas prices go down, down, down.

Turning our attention to worthless celeb goo….Is it just us or is that Cheryl Burke from Dancing with the Stars porking out this season. Girl look big! She’s solid, but wider.
That Warren Sapp — amid reports that he’s this year’s on-set diva — is rocking the ballroom hard for a big man. Seriously, we are a dancer and we are shocked at his footwork. Perhaps all those gridiron drills over the years have paid off. His partner is a vixen, too. What a bod!!! They have been outrageous thus far. An unlikely success story.
BTW: We’d love to have host Samantha’s arms. So muscular yet sleek.

Happy Rosh Hashanah, y’all. We could completely dig some matzo ball soup about now.
