My position is not that one should look past her for being 50 and or lined. (I actually think she's older.)

My position is that he should reject her for being a terrifying 50-year-old insane used-up succubus that'll haunt you until the day you die and beyond.

Alex may feel his soul is safely tucked away in Hank Steinbrenner's pocket, but he's wrong.

Did we learn nothing from Sunset Boulevard?

According to Wikipedia and IMDB, Madonna will turn 50 next month.

That's a point that I'm not going to dispute.

My hunch is that this isn't based on lust, but on spiritualism.

="beliefnet"] http://www.beliefnet.com/story/168/story_16883_1.html Why do you think so many celebrities are attracted to Kabbalah? It's hard not to be catty when answering a question like this. Part of being a celebrity is being on the cutting edge, doing what's "cool" at the moment. That isn't to say that all celebrities are shallow-they're not. Some of them are totally dedicated to their religious, political, and cultural causes and very deliberately use their celebrity to raise consciousness. But when you're a celebrity, you're also something of a billboard-companies pay you to wear their sneakers or their jewelry. Similarly, religious groups might court you because of the money or the publicity value that you supply. A lot of celebrities got into Kabbalah because other celebrity friends got them into it-because of peer pressure. It's worth noting that Madonna, Paris Hilton, Demi Moore, Britney Spears, Roseanne, et al get their Kabbalah from the Kabbalah Centre, which is very much the creation of one man, Philip Berg. Rav Berg has built the International Kabbalah Centres into a far-reaching empire, opening schools throughout the world and selling books, tapes, and products like "energetically blessed" bottled water. The relationship that the Kabbalah Centre enjoys with these celebrities is synergistic, to say the least. Finally, celebrities are often spiritually needy. Fame and its trappings may be ultimately unsatisfying, and immersing themselves in the study of an esoteric discipline can fill a sense of spiritual emptiness. The popularized Kabbalah, with its red string bracelets to ward off envy and malice, can be especially attractive to people in the public eye.

I think that Rodriguez is drawn to the Kabbalah. If he had stumbled over Scientology instead, he'd be sneaking into Tom Cruise's apartment, which would make for even better headlines.

And marriages have been known to fall apart when one partner embraces a new belief and the other doesn't.

Hmm, if I'm Alex, I don't want to be a part of any sentence that startes with "former boy toys include" and ends with "Jose Canseco, Vanilla Ice, Dennis Rodman, Warren Beatty and Sean Penn."

Now, if he was chasing Rachael Ray....

You leave out JellyBean Benitez.

Bleah!

My favorite TV foodie is Giada deLaurentis.

Rachael Ray is, well...

Bleah!

[Guest Vince Coleman Firecracker]

Not a Rachel Ray fan. Her body is way too cylindrical for me. And I think her boobs are very weird, like they grew out of her armpits or something.
I liked Giada at first, but the more I see of her and her big forehead and little teeth, the more I think of Flipper.

Now, Ina Garten- vavaVOOM!
