Celebrities make too much money. Subjective, sure, but probably true. Truer still is that very often those fortunes are wasted in inglorious, ill-planned blazes.
But sometimes the millions serve a higher purpose; sixth homes declined in favor of the public that makes a celebrity a celebrity. Yet where are those figures in Star and the National Enquirer?
Screw Birkin bags, time for money that counts: political donations.

i love these little gems you post for us. ellen's is my favorite.
Dang! We can make requests? Or is it just that non-Hags get them. Why, oh why, hast thou forsaken thine Hags?
I'm grouchy as hell and I havent got the recent comments back yet. HMPH!
Once again, OUTRAGE, POPCOCKERY! I made the last word up but I think you know what I mean. When will our requests be fulfilled?
I think you're onto something with this popcockery. The popcockishness is thick in this room. I sense an uprising.
Popcockery made me pee my pants earlier and I went home early because of that.
It's my new favorite word.
Just one more thing before I have a snack and go to bed. I love Maya Angelou with all my heart.
I have everything she has published. I bought it all at the store, and not at yard sales so she would get the credit. (they track that, you know.
She touched my heart.
