The Fix

"The OC" goes bye-bye. Barbara Walters wades into Trump/Rosie scuffle. Plus: Courtney Love's New Year's resolutions.

The letters thread is now closed.

Cheeeeeese!

No cheese advertisements for kids in England? What would Wallace and Gromit say about that?

Crocodile Hunter

What I don't get about this is, if you're concerned about the video appearing on the internet, why keep *any* copies at all? I can't imagine Mrs. Irwin would want to watch this video. Nor wanting her kids to see, either. I can't see this on the level with the Zapruder film.

I can't help but think that some time, years from now, we'll see a story about the tape disappearing from wherever it's stored and, yes, showing up on the internet.

Again, why keep *any* copies?

Steve Irwin

I was never a big fan of Steve Irwin, but I, like most people, was saddened by his death. There have been countless stories about it, and apparently now the press, or at least The Fix, has wearied of calling the bizarre event "shocking and tragic." But referring to it as a "deadly meeting with the business end of a stingray" strikes me as glib and disrespectful.

Trump trumps himself

What gall this man has. Walters makes her public statement then he immediately goes and points the finger, she's a liar! She can't tell the truth so I'll do it for her. What a crappy friend, even if she is lying or spinning her feelings, it's her business, her employees and he has no right to interfere.

Plus how weak, just because he doesn't like Rosie he's got to get other people to back him up, even if they won't in public.

Omarion

Remember a year or two ago when Omarion asked all of us to pray for him? I guess his prayers have been answered.

Hey, uh... "The Donald"

Mr. Trump is acting about as mature as his "totally rad" nickname would suggest.
