Celebrity Collector of the Month

Lydia Pullman of KoKomo, Indiana has an unusal hobby. She collects celebrity Thigh Masters. Lydia started her collection over five years ago, when visiting in Los Angeles. She and a friend were driving around, looking at the homes of stars. As Lydia says, "we drove by Cher's house and Wow! It was totally cool and this idea just hit me; why didn't we drive down the alley and look at her garbage?"

That is exactly what Lydia and her friend did and when Lydia delved into Cher's garbage can, she found her first celebrity Thigh Master. Lydia said, "It was there in the garbage, hardly used and my heart started pounding, I mean, Cher, "The Cher" had used it on her thighs." After that, Lydia visited Los Angles every chance she got to look for more Thigh Masters. "Once, I found one in Bruce Willis's garbage, still in the box, totally intact, never used."

"That was when 'Die Hard Ten' came out and I went to the premier. Bruce signed his name on the Thigh Master box. I've been told I could sell it for $500. I have a several more, one from Anna Nicole Smith that she used before she did the Guess ads and one that was used by Torrie Spelling. Anyway, I'm saving my money and hope to be able to move out to L.A. soon," she said. In the meantime, Lydia has started using her computer in the search for celebrity Thigh Masters. "I bought two on E-Bay, but I'm not telling who used them," says Lydia.

While critics moan, the "Girls" laugh all the way to the bank

This movie, the ultimate remake of a 1970's TV show has been panned by critics. But it seems the fans have made up their own minds and the movie is running to sold-out theaters. The movie is a real crowd pleaser, with beautiful girls, plenty of T&A and neat retro set decorations.
