Cool Chick: P!nk

Posted by on Apr 11, 2008 in dish | 3 comments You can tell that P!nk will develop into a gutsy broad one day (she’s already stomping all over the chick/broad line), but for now, she’s a very, very cool chick. Outspoken and honest, she’s the kind of gal who probably got sent to the principal’s office a lot while the quieter and tamer girls in the room looked on with a mix of envy and horror.

Classy Dame: Judi Dench

Posted by on Feb 19, 2008 in dish | 0 comments Like Helen Mirren, Dame Judi is a Dame (Order of the British Empire). Hugely talented, gets nominated for Oscars about as often as I sneeze, a real hoot. She was married to Michael Williams for 30 years, until his death, and said “We were just happy to be in the room together.” (Don’t you want to be able to say that about your marriage?) Love the fact that she’s the new...
