"Last night was the premiere of the Janet Jackson vehicle Why Did I Get Married at the Bryant Park Hotel. The photographer next to me was pretty worldly and blasé about most things, but when Janet walked in he said, 'How does she do it? One minute she’s heavy, the next… wow, look at that body, she’s sexy!' And one by one, the other male photographers voiced approval and genuine awe. Trust me, this is rare. You cannot imagine the horrible things I usually hear on the red carpet! On an interesting note, Jermaine Dupri tried to leave his wife's side to let her pose alone and speak to the interviewers on her own, and she pulled him back to her side -- firmly -- more than once!"

"This David-versus-Goliath staffing mismatch is yet another sign of trouble for Republicans in the general election, said a veteran Republican strategist in Iowa, as it reflects sagging spirits among hard-core GOP activists. 'That’s a function of several things — their race is more interesting, their field is perhaps stronger, they have far more resources, and yes, the number of staff and HQs also adds to their turnout,' said the strategist, who requested anonymity to speak frankly about his party. 'Plus, Republicans are in a funk, a general bad mood. It’s a harbinger of tough things to come in 2008 for our down-ballot races.[Democrats] will have more volunteers, more passion.' Representatives for Democratic Sens. Hillary Rodham Clinton (N.Y.) and Barack Obama (Ill.) are cagey about the precise number of boots on the ground they have in the early states — but it’s widely thought to be at least five times what the Republicans have."
