In an evening that likely set a record for shit-eating grins and insincere ass-kissing, the White House feted Robert Redford, Tina Turner, Tony Bennett, and others in the annual Kennedy Center Honors. As icing on the awkwardness cake, the awards dinner was hosted by none other than Condoleezza Rice, whose attempts to get a “private performance” of “Private Dancer” were soundly rebuffed. [AP]
ABC has decided to replace Peter Jennings with the tag team of Elizabeth Vargas and Bob Woodruff to anchor World News Tonight. They also announced that they’ll rebroadcast live three times each night (for different time zones) to ensure maximum live exposure of Ms. Vargas’s fabulous hair for the masses. [AP]
And Brad Pitt has filed a legal petition to gain shared custody of Angelina Jolie‘s two adopted children, Maddox and Zahara. I can’t imagine the reality series is far off. [E! online]

I’m sorry. I’ve never been all ga-ga over Brad Pitt, but this just makes me sick. He is such a loser. The adoption thing – great for you. But the fact that he more than likely cheated on his wife is disgusting. And I think Angelina is a strange bird.

Angelina named one of her kids after the guy who runs maddox.xmission.net? Cool!

For a moment I thought Gary Busey won something.

I believe that is the always popular red satin potato sack with arm and neck cut outs.

It’s a pretty long process to adopt in the US. My sister-in-law just adopted and the entire paperwork and legal stuff took about 8 months. (and that’s not including the 4 months he had to spend with them as a foster child before moving on to the adoption phase)

I’m guessing Brad and Angelina started the adoption process now because they know it can take a long time. I’m willing to bet they get married closer to the time that the adoption is finalised.

Angelina Jolie better remember what happened to Mia Farrow before she starts bring adopted kids into the house. Good idea for her to keep an eye on Brad.
