THREE (INNOCENT) CRUSHES
1. Let me take a moment to plug a most amusing quote – in response to Britney Spears shaving her head, a friend of mine declared “Britney completes the fall into hell.” Simultaneously, I can’t help but agree with a story I read stating one comedian refused to make light of the situation, because she is obviously pretty ill. Anyway, she probably would have been on the list at one time, but she has now come full-circle and landed on the “anti-list,” if that exists.
