"I want to like Nancy Pelosi. I have wanted to like her since she became a major player in the Democratic Party in the U.S. House of Representatives. We are of the same generation. And she is the best of all possible role models for women who have waited so long for people like Pelosi to help run the country. Pelosi is, famously now, a mother of five. She’s the daughter of a Baltimore mayor but she did not run for office until her children were grown. Nancy Pelosi began her public life in middle age and in 20 years rose to the top of her party in the U.S. House. Why don’t I celebrate her? Mainly, because until now she has seized every opportunity to be shrill about her displeasure with President Bush’s policies. I know it’s not politically correct to call a female leader shrill." (The Patriot Ledger)
Senior party operatives told The Sunday Telegraph that they are already co-ordinating plans to attack Nancy Pelosi, the liberal Californian congresswoman and Speaker-in-waiting who suffered a damaging rebuff from her own party caucus last week.
The Republican strategy is not only to undermine Mrs Pelosi's control of the House but also to associate her in voters' minds with Senator Hillary Clinton, the frontrunner for the 2008 Democrat presidential nomination.

Kate Hudson is the latest celeb caught spending some big money on baby items.
Just a day after Madonna bought up over $7200 worth of merchandise at LA's Petit Tresor, Kate dropped $1500 at the same baby boutique on Saturday.
A source tells TMZ that Hudson came in alone and picked up twelve items which included a $79 pink cuddle coat, green plush frog slippers for $59, and a chic leather Mia Bossi diaper bag which retails for $400.
Though Kate has a two-year-old son, Ryder, we are told all of the items were definitely for someone much younger.
Kate recently separated from her husband, Black Crowes lead singer Chris Robinson and is rumored to be dating Owen Wilson, her "You, Me and Dupree" co-star.

Even before she was a teenager, Hilary Duff was a teen favorite. She began her Lizzy McGuire role when she was 12. Duff turned 18 on September 28, 2005, so she has less than two years left as a teen star, but will no doubt continue to attract huge teen audiences. The real challenge is still ahead of Duff though - how to transition into a more adult persona and career while still maintaining her teen audience and appeal. Two upcoming movies starring Hilary Duff should help: Material Girls and Outward Blonde. Both movies give her the opportunity to reflect a more mature women, but not so mature that they will turn off her current target, base teen audiences.

"Have public enemies Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie buried the hatchet? Maybe, maybe not. But the "Simple Life" stars, who have been feuding since last year, appeared together in a video posted on the entertainment Web site TMZ.com. In the video, taped Sunday night, the two arrived together at Dan Tana's Steakhouse in Los Angeles. After dinner, they text-messaged while waiting for their car on a bench in front of the restaurant. At one point, they looked at each other and smiled when an unseen observer said, "I always knew you'd be friends again, Paris."" AP

Alexis Bledel, Kelly Bishop, Scott Patterson, Melissa McCarthy, Keiko Agena, Edward Herrmann, Matt Czuchry, David Sutcliffe
Gilmore Girls: Season Seven PremiereRegular airtime: Tuesdays, 8pm ET (The CW)Cast: Lauren Graham, Alexis Bledel, Kelly Bishop, Scott Patterson, Melissa McCarthy, Keiko Agena, Edward Herrmann, Matt Czuchry, David SutcliffeTV Guide‘s Michael Ausiello got that ball rolling early this month. Though he’s typically her number one fan, he expressed disappointment over Graham’s “emotionally guarded” performance while previewing tonight’s premiere at his blog. “Much of the episode called for Lorelai to be distraught over what she had done to Luke (i.e. bedding Christopher), and, unfortunately, LG rarely gives you a sense of that anguish,” he wrote. He also detailed a deviation from the script that seemed to favor Lorelai pursuing a romance with Christopher (David Sutcliffe), Rory’s (Alexis Bledel) father, beyond the one-night stand at the conclusion of last season. As Graham has defended the appeal of that relationship multiple times, Ausiello speculated that the change might be an indication of Graham’s increased creative input now that Rosenthal’s in charge.

Carefully tailored to service the soccer mom crowd racing between work and kids and shopping, "The Rachael Ray Show" is a syndicated daytime talk show-cum-pep rally targeting viewers who are double-parked.

It moves along in energetic rat-a-tat-tat style via a series of manic Rachael McNuggets that casts Oprah's very own handpicked youngster as a whirlwind of hyperkinetic charisma. Indeed, the opening hour depicts the former host of Food Network's wildly popular "30-Minute Meals" as a woman in need of Ritalin to slow it down, modulate her pitch and try a little less hard. Ray has an inherent likability and is certainly easy on the eyes, but she doesn't talk to us so much as screams and she might want to consider taking a more leisurely approach. As it is, it's all she can do to keep from using the adoring audience as her mosh pit.
