Gawker and other outlets on the shocking appearance of Macauley Culkin. That's a lot of weight lost since the Mila Kunis days. Not that that breakup had anything to do with it. Sorry. My mind wandered.

Happy Birthday to 'The Face'
My New Plaid Pants celebrates the long strange enlightening career of Laura Dern, or "The Face" as we like to call her.
Nick's Flick Picks will also be celebrating her. But which movie? I keep refreshing my screen but nothing is there yet. Hurrrrryyyyyyy
... as soon as I typed the header up top, I realized you'd be thinking of The Lovely Laura Linney™ instead so, whaddya know, Nick provides there, too. He wrote a provocative personal review of The Laramie Project, which features one of Linney's performances he hadn't seen. She's part of that telefilm's grand mosaic of real characters as a woman who can't comprehend the meaning of "hate crime". It's a must read if you remember where you were when you heard the news about Matthew Shepard all those long years ago.
Ten Lauras We Love ...
- The Face
- The Lovely Laura Linney
- Laura Elena Haring whispering "Mulholland Drive" hypnotically
- Laura (1944)
- "Laura" by the Scissor Sisters,
- "Laura Holt" on Remington Steele
- "Laura" in Pariah
- Lara Croft (what? that counts, right?)
- Laura "Gloria" Branigan (*sniffle)
- ...and Laura Ingalls Wilder. Sometimes. But she can be annoying.
No I don't know why we just went there either but go with it. We believe in following trains of thoughts especially when they spill right over into the c-o-m-m-e-n-t-s

that header had me clicking over here so damn fast - i was hoping for news that the lovely laura linney was heading back to the movies (i don't know if i've ever mentioned how fond i am of her?)
only to discover her as number two on a top ten list? oh, nathaniel, you've made yourself a not very powerful enemy, my friend....
How the hell is Lea Michele being "considered" for the role? It's HER goddamn role! I know she's not 14 years old, but hell, it's not like they're actually going to get an actual pre-teen to do that role. With those vocals. Just hire a good make-up artist. A youthful look can be easily obtained.
Also, can Jonathan Groff and John Gallagher, Jr. reprise their roles, too. Thanks.
Also, can Mila Kunis please give Macaulay a courtesy call?
@par3182: I LOVE how quickly you came sprinting to this. Hilarious.
I'ma hafta go w/ Laura Petrie, circa 1968ish
par3182 --- my top ten is fluid. On TLLL's birthday she will resume her #1 placement.
Timothy -- very good choice!
how about Laura San Giacomo? She was Sooooooooo awesome in "Sex Lies & Videotapes".
Nat, have you seen the trailer for Steve Carell's new film - 'Seeking a Friend for the End of the World'? It looks fantastic.
McG is directing Spring Awakening? Seriously?
Wow, what about the one Laura from David Lynch's most famous creation?!
Laura Branigan. Awesome.
