Hey Angie, Here's an Idea!

How about the Good Ol' U S of A! Rumor has it that the L.A. area is home to Cedars-Sinai, St. John's of Santa Monica, and other "Maternity Hospitals of the Stars." Just a thought...

Alert, alert

"Snark meter" approaching 98%

Sacre Bleu is a Canadian expression

The french would use "merde" where profanity is called for, but for something like this it would be more likely "zut, alor" or "bof".

Sacre blau...

... is used here in France too, albeit rarely: it's extremely old-fashioned and usually used to be funny or sarcastic, like "Oopsie daisy!" accross the Atlantic.

And as for Angie giving birth in France, as long as she doesn't name her kids Paris and Cannes, I'm all for it!

and of course

the title should have read "Sacre bleu"...

confession

I'll confess, I kind of like Brad. Have you ever seen an interview with him? Wow, he's... really dumb! I mean, REEEAAALLLY DUMB. He's the guy equivalent of the dumb blond. And there's a sort of cavegirl part of me that wants to whack him over the head and drag him off to my cave. One of my friends made the really not-at-all-PC statement that "There's not a thing in the world wrong with Brad Pitt that I couldn't fix with a roll of duct tape." Yeah, okay, we should all respect each other and not make comments like that blah blah blah, but honestly, weren't you sort of thinking the same thing?

And now he's married to Angelina, who always was a one-woman freakshow. What fun!

Hopeful this is final comment on baren topic

Like me Ms Allie. Never get Svutlana away with cavegirl comment or duct tape Brad Pitt, but glad somebody say.

Sometime sad me when see how few people comment about Pakistan woman police officer or Mary J Blige, but extreme happy me for see that nobody on Broadstreet give fly fuck about where Ms Angelina have baby.
