The Bed List/The Dinner List

Posted by on Dec 23, 2005 in dish | 0 comments BED LIST: MATT DAMONI know, I know. Matt Damon’s a pretty boy. I agree. But DH and I love the two Bourne movies (The Bourne Identity and The Bourne Supremacy), so I’ve been having an all-Matt smackdown for the past couple of days. Matt with his shirt off is darned cute, in a sneak-around-behind-your-parents kind of a way. Kind of like jailbait, but without the messy legal...

The Bed List/The Dinner List

Posted by on Dec 9, 2005 in dish | 0 comments BED LIST: ANTONIO BANDERASA couple of years ago, mimi and crew got to see Antonio Banderas in Nine on Broadway. Three hours’ worth of singing, dancing, electric Antonio. Talk about charisma–we were in the balcony and wanted to rip his shirt off. Antonio Banderas has “it” in spades. The eyes? Check. The Latin soul (he’s Spanish)? Check. The tongue-in-cheek sense of...
