Kate Beckinsale has some nice stems, and don’t know about you, but we’re a sucker for an English accent … we plan on breaking some rules today, and we’ll start with this: many, many props go out to our readers, for you helped us break records this month in visitors (we may hit 500,000!) and page views (1 million is within reach!) … now that we’ve thrown out a shoulder patting ourselves on the back, the other rule we’re going to break is in regards to fantasy football … lastly, we’re getting way more links than we can handle, so don’t feel like we’re ignoring your emails, we’re just overwhelmed at this point … it’s movie tuesday!

Not to nitpick, since the NYT is such a bastion of intellectual heft and erudition, but doesn’t anyone over there know left from right?
“At Chung’s right is his wife and the co-owner of the business, Soo Chung.”
I see a young lawyerly-looking blonde, not an old woman.
And that black guy used some 20 dollar words, didn’t he…not sure what he was driving at, clarity is not institutional in his metier.

Congrats on your success. I guess the irony here is that I never would have heard of this place if it not for the ‘journalistic’ stylings of the one and only Schrutebag.

Oh, ya’ll mad cause the Kobe video dudes styled on you…

So G Norman is about to feel the painful financial sting of a spurned and pissed off soon to be ex-wife. I wonder if Chris Evert worked the break up as “the other woman”? How odd Evert worked so hard to cultivate this prim and proper image as a tennis player when she was just as fast and loose as Thelma from the old neighborhood. Evert’s kept herself in pretty good shape but Norman could have gone way uptown. It must be genuine love.
