It's funny because when I was a kid, it was "Mary Worth" you would say in the mirror. Maybe it was a Chicago area thing. Never heard of saying Bloody Mary in the mirror until relatively recently in movies.


eta: ya ha, apparently Mary Worth is Bloody Mary.

ok, naja, I was like - why would Mary Worth ( I know her as a kindly older woman in a old cartoon) be evil, LOL! I even saw the ghost whisper show that was about Bloody Mary, but never heard/connected Mary Worth.

Yeah, it's weird, Dipo. No one but the people I grew up with in Chicago heard of her called Mary Worth either. I noticed a reference to Catholic school students on that page where they mention Mary Worth, so maybe that's why I know that version.

Ah yes, I remember the repeating of Mary Worth over and over in a dark room while looking into a mirror. (Scared the bleep out of me when I was young.) I'm also from a suburb just west of Chicago. Perhaps it was a regional thing. LOL

I'll bet some of you from the Chi-town area probably remember Resurrection Mary too. There was supposed to finally be a movie coming out in the theaters about that story, but I haven't heard any more about it now for a long time.

I went to the cemetary while I lived in Chicago at night time, so I could see if RM would appear, sadly after many trips around the cemetary she never did. But I know the story, and I hope they still come out with the movie, it could be quite interesting to see it on film.

In central Illinois we never heard of any of that mirror stuff. But I also had a foreign born mother.

Lenny Kravitz was rushed to Miami's Mount Sinai Hospital on Monday, a spokeswoman for the singer confirmed to Reuters.

The rocker, 43, had been stricken with a series of severe respiratory tract infections combined with the flu since mid-January.

"Due to extreme dehydration and fatigue, doctors were unable to control it with outpatient treatment and advised the singer to check into the hospital," Kravitz's spokeswoman said in a statement.

The condition has forced the postponement of Kravitz's European tour to promote his new album It Is Time For a Love Revolution.

18-year-old Barron Hilton, Paris' little brother, was arrested for DUI in Malibu at 8:30 AM this morning!

Cops tell TMZ he was driving a black Mercedes on Pacific Coast Highway with a passenger -- not one of his sisters-- when he was pulled over at a 76 gas station.

He's currently in the process of being booked at the Lost Hills Sheriff's station -- the same place Mel Gibson was taken.

UPDATE: Barron's been officially booked and is currently being held on $5000 bail.

Oh, no about Lenny! Glad he checked in so we don't lose him to some mixup of meds.

Isn't she over 40? and from what I've seen over the years behind that face is a very smart woman, too!
