I think she is someone who just likes to have fun and doesnt take herself or the royals too seriously. I am looking forward to it. Hope they pick a nice partner for her and more importantly, maybe we will get some A list competitors now that we have royalty in the mix. But, if she hasnt learned to dance by now after all those royal balls and waltzs, she is probably a hopeless case.

Want to bet they'll try to dress her up like Belle, in Beauty and the Beast?

She may see it more as going from hawking weight watchers to Dancing With the Stars. Hey, I'll be on her side! Anyone who joined Pricness Di at Ascot, goosing the straightlaces with their parasols is good people in my book!

She's hard not to like. A very down to earth sort. I have my doubts this is going to happen, but I wish it would.

I know she'll have a sense of humor about it, too.

We were at a McDonalds in Federal Way, WA, on November 10, trying to get out of the horrendous traffic on I-5 and grab a bite to eat. It was pouring rain, and the parking lot was full. The police were there. We parked illegally in front of a police car and went in anyway. The place was packed inside. First person I saw was Ronald McDonald in full whiteface. A police officer inside the door greeted us like he was a Walmart greeter. He advised us the Duchess of York was expected to pay a visit in about 15 minutes. So we managed to get a booth and some food and stayed for the festivities, but she didn't show. I reckon she was stuck in the same traffic we were escaping. We think she must be a spokesperson for Ronald McDonald house or something. We did see a couple black Lincolns filled with luggage in the parking lot, which I expect were hers.

Not to break the subject, but, why is Lindsey Lohan even in rehab. She's not even 21 yet. All those clubs who let her in and give her booze should be arrested. They pander to all those Hollywood types. Arrest her mom, too. She turns her head to her daughter's addictions.

I'm completely with you, Sherbabe. Here in Canada the age is usually 19, 18 in some provinces, but it's an absolute, no exceptions other than really good fake ID. The thought that she's photographed night after night partying at night clubs seems kinda weird to me, too... is there some unwritten rule in the US that says you must be 21, OR make more than $XXX,XXX.00 per year, to enter? lol

Remember that Drew Barrymore was in clubs drinking and doing drugs as a pre-teen. Their fame gets them in. Also, I'm sure others buy them drinks.

There are clubs here that allow you in, at 18, but you can't drink till your 21. You get a wristband put on you that is color-coded. Others sometimes buy them drinks that they then pour in their "soda" cups.

or they ink stamp the back of the hand of the over 18 but under 21 yr olds - like this is really going to work or something. You let them in & they're going to drink if they want to drink - it's a given. I say, just don't let them in until the legal age of 21 & you would solve all of this underage problem.

I don't understand how Americans feel that their young people are more than old enough and responsible enough to fight and die for their country and yet aren't old enough and responsible enough to legally have a drink?

I don't think "Americans" feel that way, it's the politicians. Sounds like a new N&V category!

I used to work at a bar on the main bar strip here in Vancouver. We'd get a lot of kids from the Armed Forces that come up to drink. Apparently if you are in the armed forces down there, you have a special "pass" to drink under the age of 21. I don't remember the logistics of whether it was just drinking on base, or whether it was via showing USAF ID, but they were allowed to drink and fight for their country. But I don't think Drew Barrymore was in the armed forces, IIRC.

My DH drank more before he was 21 in the USMC than after he turned 21. Lost it's novelty I guess.

Does anyone know Tammy's last name? She looks familiar to me but I can't place her. The babies are cute! Doesn't Melissa Etheridge have another set of twins also?

Cute babies. Melissa has 2 other kids but I don't think they're twins.
