If solely Andrew had a Duchy to name his personal.
Dolly Parton seemed and sounded nice acting at a latest NFL recreation clad in a Dallas Cheerleader’s outfit that confirmed off her still-shapely determine, however in fact the ‘Globe’ manages to seek out the darkish aspect of her widely-praised look, beneath the headline: “No Cheer In Dollyville!” and claiming “Fears 77-year-old is working her approach into well being disaster.”
Who fears this? It is that previous staple: “pals concern . . . “
Positive they do.
The tabloid body-shaming police are out in pressure once more, this week focusing on Britney Spears, claiming: “Brit’s Sucking Fats From Her Thunder Thighs,” and likewise hitting at Tom Cruise, who’s allegedly “Getting Man Boobs Off His Chest.”
Appears like Mission: Inconceivable.

No matter occurred to the opposite seven?

Julia Roberts appeared on the ‘At present’ present this week to sing her husband’s praises, calling him the household’s “anchor” and “in probably the most stunning approach, the captain of our ship.”
