In theory the courts are supposed to be free of the legislature. In reality, justices of the higher courts are tied to the party that appointed them. Rulings in keeping with certain beliefs are what get them appointed in the first place. Courts are there to enforce the laws -- who makes the laws -- federal and state governments. The kind of laws you get on this issue depends on what party is in vogue at the moment. The statement make no sense. points for sentiment, zero for reality.

Does Roger Moore count as Old Hollywood? If so, here goes, courtesy of Popbitch: >> Moore the merrier << 007 shocks the provinces Roger Moore has just turned 80. Our favourite ever story about him came from a handyman in Deal, Kent. One day, many years ago, the handyman was booked to do a DIY job at a beautiful house in the conservation area of the town. While doing some work on the ground floor, he heard some noises coming from upstairs. He'd been expecting the house to be empty so decided to investigate. He climbed the stairs, walked to the bedroom and pushed open the door. Three naked bodies were entwined on the bed. Staring open-mouthed at the fruity ménage- a-trois in front of him, the handyman got a further shock when 007 popped his head up from the bed, and announced cheerfully in that inimitable drawl, "Don't worry old chap. Just experimenting!" The appalled handyman walked out of the bedroom, down the stairs and straight out the front door.

Hillary Swank has a fragrance?

All things considered, I would rather he wear the fur. Sorry PETA.

Of course she doesn't want a confidentiality clause -- she wants million dollar blab-all book deal

Let's check back in about 5 months, shall we?

how do you go from having junk in the trunk in may to looking like that now? nevermind.

A tailor accused of breaking into Nicolas Cage's coastal home was charged Tuesday with residential burglary. Robert Dennis Furo, 45, pleaded not guilty to the felony count in Orange County Superior Court, district attorney's spokeswoman Farrah Emami said. Furo, who remained jailed on $50,000 bail, faces up to six years in state prison if convicted, Emami said. A call to the county public defender's office, which was assigned to represent Furo, was not immediately returned. Cage called a security guard at his gated community around 1:30 a.m. Monday after he saw a man wandering inside his home and wearing one of the actor's jackets, police Lt. Craig Fox said. The guard called police, and when officers arrived Cage had already escorted the man out of his home "without struggle," Fox said. Cage's publicist declined to comment.

Whenever I think of Sean Young, I think of those stories of her stalking James Woods. Pretty Sad.

I don't feel bad for either one of them. They know what they are about. Its the girls in the cross fire I feel bad about.

Laziness.

Gotcha -- and I do understand it and acknowledge it -- I understand that its crap and a means of justifying and excusing the behavior. Please note that it is not you with whom I am arguing -- its with those people out there who will find a way to "explain away" bad behavor as though the explanation makes it all okay. I also understand that Michael Vick is a very rich man and the last thing he needed was to make more money of the cruelty to animals. God, wouldn't PETA be proud of me.

Three things: - it should not be considered sport - I hate to say it, but I don't think the dogs were the concern -- the gambling was. Vick still faces state charges for running a gambling ring. - he was not wrongly targeted, maybe he should not be the only one targeted, but he was guilty and pled guilty. Police run "sting" operations all the time -- it does not make the police guilty of wrongly targeting someone.

I had heard just the opposite -- that it was his use that caused her to bail. I can imagine that his family would want her to stay away -- if he went off the deep end because of her -- her coming around may give false hope and that would not be a "good thing."

I thought it was a typo and should have read, "same sex stuff" Ummm

Here is some legal advice: stfu - hurtful to you? who cares. Love stated an opinion and personal experience. get over it. Jon Lovitz may standing behind you.

With that mouth of hers, I am thinking blow jobs. Why not? I mean all cats are grey in the dark aren't they?

Is she in the "who don't you get thread?"

and I thought I was cynical.

He looks like he is trying to look like Mickey Rourke after surgery.

Doesn't everybody?

Well that's nothing if not convenient. Sign the prenup and get married all in one stop. Works for me.

She hires good attorneys. I have seen work up close -- it leaves alot to be desired.

Not a remake, but a re-cut. From MSN BLADERUNNER It's hard to believe, but there have already been three different versions of Ridley Scott's landmark sci-fi thriller "Blade Runner" released in some form or another. There was the 1982 theatrical version that featured Harrison Ford's controversial character narration as Deckard and the Deckard-Rachael (Sean Young) "happy ending" escape. The version most people saw was the cut that was released on home video and played on cable up until 1992. It was actually the international version that was unrated and featured extended action sequences. After years of rumors about the ending, Scott released a 1992 director's cut in which he removed the Ford narration and the "happy ending" and added the infamous "unicorn" sequence, which suggested that Deckard was a replicant as well -- all how he originally intended the movie to be cut. Most recently, though, a rare version of the film was found in the Warner Bros. archives that was radically different in more ways than can be described here. Confused? Don't be, because Scott and Warner Bros. have now teamed up on a new "Blade Runner: Final Cut" just in time for the film's 25th anniversary. This new "definitive" version, according to Scott, contains added and extended scenes, new and cleaner special effects, and that all-important 5.1 Dolby Digital Audio. And it should be the version you judge the film by. Scott's legendary career includes "Alien," "Legend," "Thelma & Louise" and the Oscar-winning "Gladiator," but "Blade Runner" arguably still stands as his greatest artistic achievement. Scott came down to speak to the fans at San Diego's Comic-Con this past weekend and spent hours indulging questions from the press. This work on a new "Final Cut" all came to be after the Santa Monica Film Festival asked for a print of the movie. Someone in Warner Bros.' archives found a 65-millimeter print of the movie that it turns out had been the last preview version of the film (Scott recalls them "previewing it to death"). "It started off with Vangelis music and a little bit of Jerry Goldsmith's, and at the end of it, people sort of sat there flabbergasted, thinking, 'Wait a minute, that's not the film I remember,'" Scott says. "That's what really created this interest and also showed the studio there is a lot of interest still in this film." Although Scott had come off "Alien" and thousands (as he puts it) of award-winning TV commercials, he wasn't prepared for all the "cooks" who wanted a say in the editing of "Blade Runner." The producers and studio executives had forced the new ending and voice-over (which angered Ford for years), and Scott says he just didn't have the energy to fight it at the time. "There was a lot of hell and I think I did get cross doing it and making it," Scott recalls. "But out of it came, remarkably, a film that still stands on its own legs after 25 years. It gets better as it gets older." "Blade Runner: The Final Cut" opens in New York and Los Angeles Oct. 5. It debuts on DVD Dec. 18.
