As for me, trespassers are part of life when your living quarters are pressed up against a public beach .Men kept coming up into my little yard at 2am. They often left gifts, unmentionables really. I can say that it's a good thing I'm not one for staring longingly at the ocean late at night or I would have seen them leaving their little messages on my wall, if indeed they had been legible messages, what with 2am aim being what it has always been. Unlike Ms. Dunst, I couldn't get a restraining order or even a no trespassing sign posted. I had no super hero at the time, at least one that was willing to put on his boxers and stop a drunk from urinating on my wall, but I thought certainly Spiderman would jump in to save the day for our little darling, Kirsten. I can surmise through IMBD that, our Spiderman, Toby McGuire, must have been too busy helping Jennifer Meyer, his fiancée and their baby, Ruby. Leaving me with the question ... are there any real Hero's?
Certainly, but they aren't going to date YOU or even help you out if and when you need to stop someone from petting your pussy cat on your front lawn. No, just like jocks date cheerleaders, superheroes like to stick with their own kind. And speaking of cheerleaders, Hero's stars, Hayden Panettiere and Milo Ventimiglia are doing just that,dating! Yes, it's true! Would People magazine lie to you? "Heroes" co-stars Milo Ventimiglia and Hayden Panettiere are dating. Cringe! He's so much older than her though, he could be her uncle. In fact, I think he plays her Uncle on the show. You never know with all the nepotism in Hollywood these days. ... Or is it just these days?
As far back as I can remember, (which really isn't far. I'm sure I was watching reruns as I cannot possible be old enough to remember the season premieres of shows like the Brady Bunch) well, as far back as I can remember, Hollywood has been scandalous! And we love it. I mean look at Mrs. Brady, Florence Henderson, dating her TV son, Greg Brady, Barry Williams. Oh Barry claims on his website thegregbradyproject.com that it was all innocent and yet in the very next punctuation mark, he claims, "she seems to have successfully inhibited the American public from ever realizing what a totally white-hot babe she really is." Make up your mind Greg. Were you breast or bottle fed?
Thank the stars, in this case, the Hollywood stars, that there will forever be scandal, shame and taboo entertaining us, like an Icarus flying too close to the sun, an Oedipus to have a complex. And on the rare occasion Hollywood even shows us a Hephaestus, the kindest of all Greek gods, he rises quite above scandal, kind bones in a faithful body; Paul Newman, may he rest in peace. Now that's a hero not just according to People magazine but all people! Thought I'd give you something to cleanse the palate before the next decadent refrain.

Wow, this is really interesting!
Oh, I miss L.A.! I'm a little put out that I never needed a restraining order: I guess stalkers are only for famous people. (Although like a sensitive husband, stalkers are probably more trouble than they're worth.) Thanks for the article, Loraine.
