It was a great show and I offer my congratulations. Supposedly, Scarlett Johannsson is Jewish but I haven't read anything. Natalie Portman and Robin Williams are both good Democrats. Anyone ready for the Oscars? Natalie Portman will win there as well, I feel.

Liam Neeson in talks to portray Kentuckian Abraham Lincoln
Northern Ireland native Liam Neeson is set to take star in another biopic - as celebrated American President Abraham Lincoln. The actor is currently in talks with director Steven Spielberg to take on the lead role in the film, which will follow the US leader as he guides the North to victory in the Civil War. Spielberg, currently working on War Of The Worlds with Tom Cruise, has expressed a desire to make a movie about Lincoln since 2001, when the rights to the upcoming biography The Uniter: The Genius Of Abraham Lincoln were bought by Dreamworks. Neeson, who was nominated for a Golden Globe for his portrayal of sex researcher Alfred Kinsey in the controversial film Kinsey, earned an Oscar nomination for playing Oskar Schindler in Spielberg's Schindler's List.
Olsen Twins decide to go on seperate paths. Say it ain't so!
Teen actresses Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen are going their separate ways - the twins have now decided to live apart. Pals of the 18-year-old beauties tell America's Star magazine Mary-Kate will move out of their New York City apartment and into a spacious loft of her own. A source says, "Mary-Kate and Ashley want to do the independent thing and live on their own. They're twins, and I think they just want to find their own identities. They don't want to be identified as the same person." While the twins' representative Michael Pagnotta has declined to comment on the stars' living arrangements, he insists there isn't a rift between the pair. He explains, "They do a lot of things together and a lot of things individually. They're good friends; all this rift stuff is nonsense." One pal says Mary-Kate will be moving away from the TriBeCa home she shares with Ashley because she wants a place better suited to her favored pastime of painting. Despite her plans to move, sources say they're likely to be living together again once construction on their $7.3 million apartment in the West Village's Morton Square is completed later this year.
