I have a picture of the two of us at prom, but my face is weird, we'll get together and do a pic over break.

Lets see: Mary Kate pregnat, I can't see it...if she were I'd be shocked but I think that she is just putting on some weight and good for her.

Cameron Diaz is definitely not my favorite actress by any stretch of imagination but she can be good performance like she did in "Being John Malcovitch" but that was ten years ago. Who knows, maybe she'll pull it off. I haven't read "My Sister's Keeper" but I hear that all of her books are good. I wouldn't recast "Titanic" it'd be like saying that you could make "Gone With the Wind" without Vivian Leigh, Clarke Gable, Olivia de Havilland and Hattie McDaniel, it's just not possible. There are a few film's I would recast, but I can't remember them at the top of my head.

I think I was curious about Janet because she was really successful, but she can't really keep up with the rest of the R&B/pop females of today, which is interesting because many of them were partially inspired by her (and of course Madonna). So it's strange that she is now copying them when they got their start by copying her. The wardrobe malfunction probably had something to do with it, cast her in a negative light that she hasn't been able to avoid but I think overall the Superbowl performance was entirely overblown! She got all the blame because it was her boob while Justin Timberlake got in like flynn and it's not fair. Probably because she's a woman and he's a man....

So, the Critics Choice nominations were announced today and overall I'm not surprised. They are usually a pretty good predictor of the Academy Awards, more so than the Golden Globes or the Screen Actors Guild. Here is the list:
