hit it big, but, then, neither do the publishers, record
companies, etc., who sign them make much off them.

Now presenting the award for Best Cinematography:
In Pretty Woman XXVII, she won the hearts of millions as the hooker
who wouldn't kiss on the lips (at least not before taking her dentures
out); he's busy on his new screenplay remake of Bewitched! ("Alas, poor

Please welcome, Julia Roberts and William Shakespeare!
