Is Mackenzie Phillips really an ‘incest victim’?

Did you watch Mackenzie Phillips on Oprah? I LOVED, LOVED, LOVED ”One Day at a Time” while I was growing up. And while I was more of a Valerie Bertinelli fan, I definitely liked Mackenzie.  In other words, I was glued to the TV screen when she pulled up a seat next to The O.
Hearing Mackenzie’s story about her father [...]

Here’s a problem I’d like to have

The St. Louis Rams have hired a personal chef for offensive lineman Jacob Bell. Seems’s he’s having trouble making weight.
So?
He needs to GAIN weight.

Where did I put that can of Lysol?

Meet the “Dorkmeister 3,000″

Here’s what my new watch looks like! I know. The Garmin 305 is, in a word, dorky.

Ron, this is what sorry looks like!

I would like to hereby apologize for mistakenly calling my husband an a**hole.

‘Madonna? This is Oprah. Want to come in for some girl talk?’

Christopher Ciccone, has written a tell-all about his sister Madonna. It’s called “Life with My Sister Madonna.” It should be called: “Like a Virgin? Yeah Right! How I Screwed Over My Sister for Money.”
I would never pay money to read this book, but I’ve read every article I could find about it. It sounds kinda [...]
