   Joseph Nebus to All   
   7 August 2007 - Glenn Close, Trade Deadl   
   09 Aug 07 21:30:05   
   
   From: nebusj-@-rpi-.edu   
      
   Glenn Close:   
   	- 'Fatal Attraction' changed her dating life, and her visits to pet stores.    
   Particularly in elevators.  She was never good at dating, and has the knife   
   still.  And now children recognize her as Cruella de Ville from the   
   live-action '101 Dalmations'.  A    
   child came up to her and she did the Cruella laugh.  The child burst out   
   crying.   
      
   	- New York City lets you be the bag lady you are, but sometimes people will   
   say she looks better in life than in the movies.  Is that a compliment?  Conan   
   gets the same thing, and is told that after he owes whoever he's talking to   
   money.  Maybe they    
   just want to touch her hair.  Conan gets that too.   
   	   
   	- She's sometimes mistaken for Meryl Streep.  She supposed it happens to   
   Streep; when Streep was pregnant last a Los Angeles store gave her all sorts   
   of free things and told her, ``You were great in Fatal Attraction''.  Conan   
   gets he was great on Happy    
   Days.   
   	   
   	- Her granny was tough, ran away from Texas to New York and worked in a bank   
   in World War I.  She was a Yankees fan, and would watch games, smoke, and play   
   cards; she knitted a pillow for Phil Rizzuto and didn't hear from him.    
   Somehow she got him on    
   the phone and demanded to know where her thank-you note was.  She should have   
   sent threatening pillows.   
   	   
   	- She loves dogs.  Sad, being Cruella.  Next week she premiers a blog for dog   
   owners.  Pure fun for her.  'Lively Licks: Profiles of Dogs And Their   
   Humans'.  Max has the same blog title.  Ted Danson and Debra Massy will be   
   part of it.   If your dog    
   wrote an autobiography what would the title be?  ``My Owner The Genius.''  If   
   your dog was a famous person who would he be?  ``Harry Hamlin, he's very   
   good-looking but not the sharpest knife in the drawer.''  Is there a secret   
   only your dog knows?  ``He'   
   s seen the horror that is Conan naked.''   
   	   
   	- Rumor is she loves dogs so that she sometimes eats dog biscuits.  She used   
   to eat them all the time when she was little, and couldn't believe others   
   didn't.  A woman in the front row says her too.  She last ate one in a while   
   ... Conan has a Milkbone    
   box.  She nibbles on one, and gets Conan to try it.  Conan takes the box to   
   the audience where one woman nibbles too.  They take a long time to chew and   
   swallow.  Maybe they should look at the ingredients.  Conan thinks this   
   terrible advice.  She worries    
   about anal leakage.   
      
      
   TV Talk Show Trading Deadline:   
   	- Now they can't trade on-screen talent.  They've made great trades in the   
   past -- Triumph to Charlie Rose once, sprucing up the interview with Bill   
   Gates.  Manzy, half-man, half-pansy, to The View.  Vomiting Kermit to Larry   
   King Live.   
   	   
   	- They're going to try trading Abe Vigoda.  Unacceptable offers: Today   
   offered an Epson printer.  Dateline: NBC offered a ficus and some used   
   highlighters.  America's Got Talent offered David Hasselhoff.  Many trades   
   happen at the last second, though ...   
   	   
   	- They have Abe Vigoda for another year!  Yay!
