    Russia's world champion ice skating team is on thin ice after a routine they performed this past Thursday at the European figure skating championships was considered offensive. The routine was based on dances performed by indigenous Australians, the aboriginals. Some say that the couples routine lacked respect for the culture and it's people. The couple shouldn't feel too bad about offending anyone, though. Now, they'll get all the press they can handle to apologize for it and will surely be on everyone's radar come the Winter Olympics. Perhaps that was the plan! Check out the routine int he video above. Do U find it offensive/default.jpg"/>Offensive Ice Skating

      She played Fiona (Fee) Cleary in The Thorn Birds–Meggie's mother. She was a class act and won an Emmy for her role in The Thorn Birds. (One of the greatest mini series to this day.) Rachel Ward once said it was Jean Simmons who encouraged her to date Bryan Brown; who was also in The Thorn Birds and played Meggie's husband, Luke o' Neil. They are still married to this day, and we all know now that handsome great actor Richard Chamberlain was probably, in real life, more interested in bedding Bryan Brown than Rachel Ward.

      You're right. Jean Simmons was excellent as the mother on The Thorn Birds.
