    Why start a new thread (for the sake of a 2-word post). Just bump one of the threads that were about this from a year ago (for the sake of a 2-word post).

    Oh how fucking ignorant of me!!! My deepest and sincerest apologies for not having been on the board that day, and not thinking to scroll to page 2 the next day! Of course. And then today, after I read this interesting article that I thought some of you would like, even if its a little old, and thus wanted to share it with my pals here, DAMN I should have known that it MUST HAVE BEEN posted a year ago because all of you read the Daily Mail in London and it was dumb of me not to spend time culling the archive here just to make sure.

    Ingrate assholes.

    What you did should be illegal. I can't accept your apology while I'm still grieving. After a year of wearing all black I may look at other women again, but you'll just have to wait until I'm over this.

    Everybody has the right to be cranky. And I appreciated the post; got a couple things out of it I hadn't heard before (or maybe I forgot them!).

    Well he didn't DO it with her. He just got photographed with her. He figured he'd look handsome in comparison to someone with the face of a camel.

    Actually my problem isn't her face, it's her being famous for being famous. A more air headed untalented so called celeb was never know.

    PapaG would say that they each has only one talent, money. But since I like Allen's generosity to causes not based on projecting his own power, untypical for billionaires, I won't plant that seed of an idea in Papa's Animal Farm-like mind.

    A difference is that, whatever one thinks of Microsoft, Allen & Gates did start a very successful company and essentially a new industry.

    Paris Hilton was born into a wealthy family and her greatest claim to fame is being really skinny and screwing on line. Compare her to genuine talented singers and actresses who worked hard for years and often struggled financially before they achieved success.

    I wouldn't know and have no intention of finding out. For that matter I have no intention of finding out if Paul Allen is.
