I wanted to make sure you saw this story. It's where Shia LaBeouf talks about the meaning of his name. He says it means "s--t the beef out." Love your show!
—Alicia, Hartford, Kentucky

The B!tch Replies: Gee, thanks. I sure know what I’ll be thinking about every time a boulder almost rolls over Harrison Ford in Indiana Jones 4. Is it time for a Lightning Round yet?

Why does Hollywood seem to look the other way when it comes to drugs? Didn't they learn anything from the Just Say No campaign?
—Sandra, Upland, California

As long as stars keep making money for moguls and manage to stay upright during press junkets, everybody in Hollywood stays happy. The OxyContin really helps with that, too. Why just get arrested for a DUI when you can get arrested for a DUI while on an opiate and make it a jubilee?

Can you tell me if Universal Studios is filming a Mummy, Part 3 with Brendan Fraser?
—Brittany, Salyersville, Kentucky

Yes.

I want to know: What happened with Benjamin Pratt? He has disappeared.
—Maria, Argentina

It’s Bratt, sweetheart, and you can look for him in the screen adaptation of Love in the Time of Cholera, due out in the fall.

Are all celebrities Democrats and anti-Bush and Iraq? Besides Elisabeth Hasselbeck, are any stars Republicans?
— Katy, Madison, Wisconsin

Bruce Willis, James Woods, Angie Harmon.

What’s the difference between a manager and an agent?
—Jen, Los Angeles

To Lindsay Lohan, the answer is probably nothing. I assume by now, both of hers want to run her over with a van. For the rest of us, this general rule applies: Agents concentrate on getting clients that next big gig, while managers concentrate on a star’s long-term development and earning potential.
