Demi Moore/Ashton Pregnant?

They pointed out how her roles were always one extreme or another after so long. I thought they had some good points, too, it was pretty good.

I do think she's gorgeous and that voice makes me weak in the knees.

You know, I was visiting my friend rain, (cable) and I actually did see that! I remember more the parts that said she was hyper controlling and very diva when she was making the big bucks per picture. And the part where she was young and very ambitious, very canny, very "eye on the prize", and whatever it took to get it. But yeah, now that you mention it, I remember the "alienating audiences" part. They also talked about how she was perceived as (and pretty much was) being very cold. FYI, she's a scorpio with moon in Pisces - suprising she's so cold.
Anyway, yeah, the voice. *swoon, faint*
*she's on my list*

"No! You write it down!"

That movie kills me, I love it.

I wouldn't prescribe parenthood for a cure as immaturity. But yes, let's hope for the best.

She never picked warm roles, that's probably why people viewed her as cold. I mean, look at the resume:

GI Jane (butch and masculine Navy SEAL)
Striptease (stripper)
Disclosure (nympho who tries to rape someone)
Now and Then (chain-smoking downer)
Charlie's Angels (hit woman)
Indecent Proposal (tramp )
Scarlet Letter (adulterer and masturbation with a candle...)

You just want to shake her and ask her why she killed her career!

Yes. Whoever worked on her did a damn fine job.

don't forget St. Elmos Fire!
She was supposed to be warm and sympathetic in ghost, and I thought she did okay with that. And I think in The Butchers wife she was supposed to be warm. In a few good men, she was ok. Honestly, I think she is more compelling in the 'bitchy/sexy' roles, myself. And, in Striptease, she was supposed to be sympathetic, just as a stripper. I believe she is actually pretty calculating in real life, though, If not cold - I really couldn't say. But she did pick some crappy, crappy movies. And she should never, ever, try to be comedic. EVER!!!!

Actually, at somewhere around 20 million a pic, I think she realizes she is not the best actress in the world and, therefore, could care a less

I read the book Striptease and it's still one of my all-time favorites, it's HILARIOUS. Then I went to the movies to see it and, literally, walked out. It was simply a vehicle for her to display her newly acquired (and heinous) tit job and for the audience to sit and wonder what the plot was. One of the worst things I've ever seen in my life. Just atrocious. I almost threw up at the sight of Burt Reynolds covered head to toe in vaseline. Nightmarish, I tell you!

Anyone remember One Crazy Summer? She was a homeless-like guitar playing gal in that one. The lipsynching was priceless.

Try $12 million. The big paychecks stopped after Striptease and GI Jane because she wasn't a box office draw. She picked the worst projects, I can't even get my head around it.
