Granny Get Your Gun

Did you hear about this?
A 65-year-old woman in Frisco was not prepared to die, last night.
So when someone tried to carjack her, it came down to basics.
Her life.
Or his.
Here's what happened: A 19-year-old man pointed a gun at her and demanded her keys.
She refused.
So the guy fired a gunshot in the air.
But she didn't run.
She grabbed the gun!
Then she managed to shoot the guy i...



Great "Taste"?

0227_ECmercedes GFX_100.jpg So sometimes you're driving down the road, minding your own business, and you pull up behind another car at a stoplight... and you see it.
The Vanity Plate.
You can't miss it.
They WANT you to see it. Isn't that why people get them?
Okay. Wait. Back up. The fi...



Mangroomer

mangroomer.jpgOkay, I laughed so hard when I stumbled across this on Amazon...it definitely caught me eye! I have often had this discussion with men friends who have more hair than they need -- who do you get to help you out if you aren't married or in a relationship? Well, your worries are over -- the Mangroomer - The Do-it-Yourself Ele...



Judge Larry

What are we to make of Judge Larry? Unless you were in a TV-free zone for a week, you had to have caught a glimpse of Judge Larry Seidlin's courtroom demeanor. The guy reminds me of a grown-up Fonzie, and he presided over the hearing to determine what would happen to Anna Nicole Smith's remains. Well, he certainly made the most of the worldwide attention. What a character! Seriously. Could he have dragged the matter out any longer? Then....



Spoilers for the Oscars

Never fear, the number-crunchers at PriceWaterhouseCooperandfriends have kept lips sealed about who is actually going to win. Deadline Hollywood Daily is just sharing some scoop on what is planned for Sunday night's show. No matter how drawn-out or goofy the Oscars may get, I'm too b...



Bald Britney

Katharyn

I know. I know! But c'mon. If Britney's new "don't" isn't an Eyecatcher, I don't know what the definition is. And I feel compelled to comment.
So here are my theories:
a) She's channeling Sinead O'Connor, Heaven forbid!
b) She realized all the goofy stuff she'd done to her hair lately left it fried beyond recognition and needed to start from scratch.
c) She's about to launch a whole new line of Britney wigs (Chan...



Ambush Cupid

10:41 AM Fri, Feb 16, 2007 |
Katharyn

So... did ya see it? 6:30 am Valentine's Day - one of News 8's reporters was doing a live shot about a truck accident that was tying up traffic in downtown Dallas. And suddenly, a goofy looking cupid on a cell phone jumps into her live shot and says "Happy Valentine's Day" and hands her a rose. The reporter never missed a beat - kept talking about her story, simultaneously elbowing the Ambush Cupid out of the shot. Her photographer didn't ...



Making peace with Barney

11:53 PM Wed, Feb 14, 2007 |
Pam Harris

Writer and Dallas mom Kim Harwell made me laugh with her look at how her toddler fell under the spell of the purple beast despite the family's best efforts to remain Barney-free.

So far, my wee ones (a 2-and-a-half-year-old and an infant) have not become enamored of any characters that would threaten my sanity, although the old...



Cooking up trouble

10:24 PM Wed, Feb 14, 2007 |
Pam Harris

Lots of relationship stories out there for Valentine's Day, with The New York Times getting a lot of traction out of this piece that looks at how couples can find themselves at odds over who's in charge when cooking at home.

It's a really odd little article, in which most of the men c...
