Hi Perez, Thank you for posting all this golden globes coverage. You do such hard work. I do have a total like and respect for you. And yes you've annoyed me many a time, particularly with your Lohan coverage. But I've come to realize you like her in some strange way–sympathize–and thus struggle harder with your cattiness and pessimism and optimism.Anyhoo. I admire the work you do. So much work it must be. Hope you have fun and congrats on your fitness improvements. So hard to do…keep the momentum. Thank you.
Congrat Lena! Take that Howard Stern!
What a gross looking creature. She must be related to Mario.
