Somebody was making fun of me, saying that all I have is young girls in this blog.
Which is totally wrong. Groucho? Baseball? And there's a great item about Rita Moreno on one of my audio files: http://www.philly.com/inquirer/multimedia/8602847.html
And you can find all the audio files at http://www.philly.com/inquirer/columnists/jonathan_storm/Jonathan_Storm_in_Hollywood.html
They are suitably silly, IMHO.
But now to address the young girl problem:
This *woman* is clearly on her way to becoming a mother. Actually, she already is the mother of two-year old Grace Elisabeth, and the child that's growing in this picture will be the second for the Hasselbecks. I surely hope some nice young liberal couple is out there working to keep things even.
Lizzie showed everybody her belly the other day on The View, and the website TMZ snapped up the video. But who cares about that? What you want to know is: Did producer Mark Burnett know from the get-go that Elisabeth, one of the stars of Survivor II (they need to start doing things like The Super Bowl, now that the next one, from China, this fall will be No. XV) would become the biggest post-Survivor star?
"The first time I saw on her video, she lit the screen up," said Burnett, who has come a step or two since then, too. "But anybody who tells you they can see future stars is either full of it or clairvoyant."
Of the more than 185 Survivor contestants so far, Burnett singled out this trio as originally radiating maximum star power: Richard Hatch, Jerri Manthey and Colby Donaldson. Hatch was jailed for tax evasion, Donaldson's made it all the way up to that TV pinncale, Rachel Ray, and you'll find Manthey, after a stint on The Surreal Life and a shot on the cover of Playboy, performing at some funky bar off Sunset.
