Hello Friends. Another crazy week on the home front; we closed on the condo on Wednesday and have done quite a bit of packing/throwing stuff away; nothing makes you feel more out of shape than going up and down a few flights of stairs carrying boxes. Not sure if I mentioned Richard Bradley’s The Greatest Game, a phenomenal book about the Yankees-Red Sox one game playoff in 1978. It’s a tribute to how well written it is that by halfway through I had forgotten how it ended and started to think the Sox had a chance.
Yesterday’s gone and now all I want is some news.
Now And Then I Get Insecure From All The Fame, I’m So Ashamed
TVGuide.com is reporting that not only is Lindsay Lohan in talks with ABC to appear in the May 22nd season finale of Ugly Betty but that they are discussing her character returning for as many as 8 episodes next fall. Lohan was rumored to be taking a role on the show late last year but that was derailed by the WGA strike. There has been no confirmation from either side but the website labeled the talks as “advanced.”
What hath Britney wrought? Clearly Ms. Spears effect on the ratings of How I Met Your Mother is playing some role in these negotiations but UB was interested in LiLo long before Brit hit the small screen, and the show has done a very good job with guest stars up to now. The truth is I have no idea how good an actress Lindsay is or isn’t but a role on a well run show where she won’t be required to do any heavy lifting makes a ton of sense for her. This story was breaking as TTTP was going to press so we’ll have more next week.

I already saw that episode of Family Guy.
How about a really catchy headline that makes me read the article? You know, instead of the article as the headline.
There’s a reason the second field on the submission form is labeled “title” and not “entire paragraph of text”.
The article is about symbolic patriotism, in case anyone is wondering.
