Thanks, Peaches, for showing me how to land a well-deserved job.
I'm sure babysitting
celebs' kids and being called Geldof has nothing to do with that..
1i LOVE russell - i saw him on letterman the other night and he's really funny. it's a shame that the only way that people in the US know him (aside from a few movies is the VMAs where he bombed).
that's kind of cool about what whoopie's doing - although i don't know if i would go to see it in the theater. i loved the movies.
i always love to hear why people choose the names that they do for their kids. this one's not too weird!
that's cool about katie holmes - it's not often that she does things like this, but she's really trying to carve out her own identity in the press these days i feel. i can't wait to see the interview
