Wednesday, August 13th, 2008

Anyone can tell you just how pathetically slow I am on the uptake, especially when it comes to all things Hollywood and entertainment. Perhaps that's the main reason why I leave entertainment reporting and decisions at Q-Notes up to our associate editor, who is more than qualified than I to ...
