Glad I read your comment to Tigger before commenting. GMTA ... great minds think alike! So when two of you independently came up with the same verboticism ... it must be doubly good! - silveryaspen, 2008-02-15: 20:57:00
That happens frequently around here, dalmero8. Don't sweat it... Say, wouldn't it be simple to just keep track of the celebrities that aren't in rehab? - Tigger, 2008-02-15: 21:57:00

Tigger, great idea! Did you think of it when you were hanging out with Demi/Ashton/Bruce at Sundance or as a guest at Eddy Murphy's fake wedding or schmoozing with Heidi and Seal at that Versace Fashion thingy?? Do tell, enquiring minds want to know...
Tigger - 2008-02-15: 02:46:00
Oh, the Versace thing! Wasn't that just absolutely fab? All my peeps were there and... Well no, I wasn't actually there, but I uh — I read all about it. I could've gone, but I was still distraught over the Pam Anderson divorce. [Ok, I'm giving myself the creeps now — I hate people who talk like that!]
