LOL, by this time in 2003, the Greeks hadn't so much as lifted a brick for their Olympic structures. Some weren't even built six months before the event. I guess that didn't really work to jumpstart their economy, did it?

You know, I expected Armani's companion to be some barely 18 model boy, but he's not. He's a good looking guy who is maybe 30, with a hint of a very slightly receding hairline and he doesn't have a six pack. He's still probably like 40 years younger but he doesn't seem like he's been snatched out of the cradle. We're talking "Hugh Jackman Hotness."

Yes Amy died of..what my sister has.
Damn, anyone who partied in Camden-which is most party people-know what happened but her celeb obsessed dad and his publicist are trying to build a picture up so they can sell more records. Really, after your daughter has died you put out an album/single?????
Oh well.
Viva celebrity!
