Now we know how Goldie Hawn stays slim. Live-in love Kurt Russell ate BOTH
their chicken dinners and chocolate mousse desserts at the awards - while
Goldie sensibly sipped mineral water.
X-Files hotshot David Duchovny proudly boasted he's bought the $300,000 worth
of sparklers bedecking wife Tea Leoni's neck. But the Naked Truth is she
borrowed them from a BevHills jeweler.
X-Files beauty Gillian Anderson was X-posed when a breast popped out!
Terminator star Linda Hamilton wore a gem-encrusted necklace from director
husband James Cameron that could've paid the $200 million budget for his flick
Titanic. "It was a Christmas present," gushed Linda.
Golden Globe presenter Kevin Spacey still refuses to say if he's gay or not,
but countered the rumors by attending with Sheryl Crow on his arm.
Jada Pinkett got a bad case of morning sickness - in the evening! After
returning to the table she phoned hubby Will Smith on the set of his next movie
and gave him a graphic barf-by-barf description of her ordeal.
I didn't think that any Hollywood women ate anything at functions or
premieres. They tend to pile their plates up high, even taking 5 or 6 deserts,
and then not take so much as a bite.
About four years ago, I went to a big, fancy anniversary party
for a magazine held at the Beverly Hilton. We had a choice of
steak, chicken or lobster. The lobster looked so tasty that
those of us who didn't order it wished we had. But not after
we found out that many who ate it were rushed to the emergency
room later that night with food poisoning.
BTW, I had the steak and it was delicious.

Well, lemme tellya one thing: If I ever made it to some fancy-schmantzy
Hollwood premiere thing where they had food AND desserts (and not Little
Debbies artfully sliced and speared with frilly toothpicks), I would damn well
eat.

Relax, everyone; nobody is ever going to invite me to one

The last industry event I attended had the *best* petit fours,
and roast beef you could cut with a fork. The skinny ladies
nibbled ~one~ bite and smoked during the rest of the meal,
those of us at the writers tables enjoyed the repast.

Hey! Be careful there with those frilly toothpicks!! Owwww.......

Oh thanks. Thanks a lot, Judith. You really like making pregnant women on
strict diets cry? (sounds of blubbering)
Marianna
where is that damn box of puffs plus anyway
Picky picky PICKY! Don't tell me you're part of one of those 'splinter
groups'? I wooden complain if I were yew. Just log off and try to
relax.
OTOH, I suppose I'd balsam, too in your place...:)
Swan
Sawdust Memories!
BINGO! Can anyone tell me why the food is hospital cafetera level? Feh!!
The menu is usually Wadded Chicken, Vegetable ala Smush, rice pilaf
(why?) and Creme de something for dessert! Bleah!

Too bloody right. I concentrate on the pilaf. Or if there's a nice
crunchy salad beforehand... nowadays it's all that wilted spinich crap!

Oh, I don't know... I've seen limos pulling out of McDonald's after the
"feast" is over!
Best line at one of these functions: A svelte elegant actress who had
just snagged a wealthy husband. She picked at her plate listlessly,
finally declaring to the waiter "I wouldn't feed this to my CAT! But be
a darling and get me a doggy bag for later." smiling at Hubby.
Swan
If vegetarians eat vegetables, what do humanitarians eat?
Oh, but that's the TREND now... UNDER cook instead of over cook! Hell, I
sometimes wonder if they even knock the field dirt off the veggies
before they serve them!
"Are these carrots cooked all the way through?"
"They grew in direct sunlight! whaddya want?"

OOOOOOH! Was it Kurt Russell's?????

Still shameless, after all these years...

I know, and it is a terrible trend. I prefer my veggies cooked.

Geez, I wish it was Kurt Russell's. However, it I had him for dinner, we
wouldn't be sitting at a table.
MajorSue
Hmm, they must need better caterers. The one thing that stands out at most
*big* functions I've been at is the food. (Yep, I know good food, grandpa was
an excellent chef and I was in the restaurant biz.) The food is usually way
above the class of the event.
That doesn't surprise me considering its one of Merv Griffin's hotels (isn't
it?). I got food poisoning at his fancy resort on Paradise Island. But it was
more pleasant than the service!
*Under* the table, maybe? ;-)

Linda, forget under the table. I would have done dragged that sweetie off to
the nearest room for a little "alone" time.
MajorSue
Oh, you are SOOOO right - I am a veteran of many of these things myself due to
the fact that my husband does tons, and the political ones, in particular, are
heinous. You simply cannot cook beautifully, in quantity. But you are correct
- men eat anything.
Who could **wait**???
(flicking ashes from a long cigarette holder) Dahlings, there are times
when it is QUITE appropriate to Make Onself A Spectacle!!
GrrrrrrrrrRUFF!

"No, but her BRIDGE CLUB really panicked!"

You know, up until a week ago, I would've been inclined to agree with
you...
But since this tskandal has broken about Our Presidunce...
And since the revelation by Monica L. of hundreds of feminine mouths on
the Knob of State...
I'm inclined to believe that many WOMEN will eat *anything* as WELL!
Swan
Would *I* eat the President?
ONLY if I was assured he had been humanely killed beforehand!
You are what you eat!
As a matter of fact he *is* standing about three feet from me as I type
this, and he *is* in the Snake Plissken outfit. The only reason I don't
yank his tender bod under the computerdesk this very *instant* is that
I'd bend the cardboard to the point where I couldn't stand him back up
again. *sigh*
Still, it does give one a *tingly* start to ender the computer Lounge
here at the Swanage and see him *staring* at one..*!!* Ooh... he did it
again!
I wonder what Plissken would do with a five foot one 200 pound
nearsighted accomplice...? Oh dear...
Swan
Don't fire, Snake Darling, I'm *allergic* to airborne lead!

Stop it now Swan! I just fell off my chair when I read the bit about the Knob
of State.

I'll help drag him down.....or at least run interference keeping Goldie at bay
(I know I can take her on) while you have your way with him...if I can watch
at least.
Billie
You have a deal Billie. I tell you what, once I get finished with him, we can
wash him off, then I will hold Goldie at bay while you take a turn. Swan will
just have to make do with her cardboard poster! Sorry Swan!
MajorSue
You're correct on all counts, but what I've never been able to figure out is
why they can't at least get it to the quality of a decent frozen dinner.

heated femmeflesh, all you could elicit from goldie would be a bored

Kurt's attitude? 'Been there, done that...and that...and that...and.....
Swan
Ah, Hell, let's ALL get under that table, you, me, goldileh, Kurt and a
couple of the cuter busboys and waitresses...
I'll leave the cardboard standup at home and bring the 5 gallon jug of
Wesson!
But I absoLUTEly have to be home by 8:00 to get ready for my Sexual
Compulsives Meeting... Bill Clinton is giving a talk on self-control!
Swan
Been there, done WHAT?!
You read the church sign wrong, dear- it's self-management. And I wouldn't be
shaking his hand...not tonight anyway...
Marianna
who volunteers her bottle of Bath &Body Works Antibiotic Hand Gel for you if
you insist
It's not his hand he wants shook Marianna. But Swan, if I were you I would
take Marianna up on her offer for the Antibiotic Hand Gel. You may need it to
wash something else. There is no telling what hand (or mouth) may have been
there before you. Take Listerine too.
MajorSue
Not to worry, Darlings, we pack the Purell in our little nightcase
simply EV-rywhere we go! Wouldn't be caught DEAD without it!
Speaking of intimate contact with a celeb... here's my score so far:
Kissed David McCallum
Hugged Tom Baker
Hugged Cher and stole QUICK kiss (this was years ago, I doubt she
remebers)
did unmentionable things to Julie Newmar's garments (pantsuit, coat,
panties and a few other items) *ahem* she wasn't (alas) IN them at the
time.
Hugged Paul Williams.
Swam naked with Larry Niven and Gary Owens
Kissed Nancy Reagan (blarghh!)
Was sketched by Frank Kelly Freas while unconscious under a convention
suite table.
And I plead the Fifth on:
One Top Ten Author
several science fiction writers
One Laugh In actress (NOT G.H.!)
It was fun while it lasted, though!
