Crucial questions : New or used ? Her own or someone else's ?

When she does her cheesy Vegas shows she gets from LA to LV in a huge private jet - one that she owns. I don't care much one way or another about her as a talent, but she is one hell of a business woman. Not bad for a former check bouncing bedwetter.

Her husband also happens to be an incredibly shrewd businessman. He came up with that thighmaster thing, didn't he?
All in all, I really like Suzanne.

Judging by her wacked out antics at the Emmy awards 25-30 years ago with the entire cast of Three's Company, I would not be surprised.

She went on some spiritual journey and had some sort of out-of-body experience, and was then able to channel spirits.

Ironically, Janet was supposed to be the sensible one!

I still think she's gross. Rich and gross. Every since I heard that she thought she was the whole show during threes company, I've not liked her. Seriously, I really hate people with big egos and no talent. And who are really self absorbed. I mean, it's good for her, but I still can't stand her. It wasn't quite as bad, though, until I read about her really lame stage show that's all about herself.

Well, she is an actor and a celebrity. Kind of goes without saying that it's all about her, isn't it ?

um...I would barely give her "actor" and "celebrity".
and, no, she could be in a regular play. She doesn't have to be in a bad, cliched one about her own life.

The poor man's Shirley MacLaine. Or the rich man's Miss Cleo.

Well, she's gross, and he's not as gross. It's pretty simple.

Seriously, she just seems monumentally self absorbed and talentless to me, which Tom doesn't.
thanks, though.

Of course that's all a matter of perspective.

You're very welcome. You definitely fascinate me, Homegirl.

I envy her, she kissed Anthony Hopkins a lot in Hollywood Wives.
