I dunno...I just opened my new copy of _Vanity Fair_ and see that Ellen
DeGeneres is the new "face" of Cover Girl make-up...who knew...!!!???

Anyways there's plenty of speculation on the gossip groups that Phelps is
***...

After seeing Sarah Jessica Parker as a fashion model, I'll believe anything.

Fortunately, Peter Griffin (Family Guy) keeps us firmly rooted in reality
with sage observations like, "Well, they let Sarah Jessica Parker on the TV
and she looks like a foot" and "That's like making me choose between Kirsten
Dunst and Sarah Jessica Parker in a hot body/ugly face contest."

Thanks Peter..... hee he hee hee he he hee he
