well we all knew how happy mamma was going to be with nick getting out today - i wonder what he's going to do now that he's out. i can't imagine that john's parents will want him to be anywhere near their son...and it's got to be hard to be back in the 'real world' huh?
my thoughts are going out to Barak and i hope that he and his family are doing ok. that's got to be hard when someone you're that close to in your life is ill -
CONGRATS to gillian - that's great that she had her baby and named him something 'normal' !
well that's an interesting one that scar jo is going to be hosting that event- i didn't even know that she was even involved at all with the Nobel foundation. oh well...i'm sure hat they had their reasons .
as for all the dancers/actors who are getting hurt on the show, you have to wonder what's going on there. i guess they are all really competitive about things.
i love sean penn - he's always doing things like this that are 'out of the box'
