      I have so much respect for this lady, who proves that real talent is never a passing phase and her endurance and elegance in person speaks so much for who she is. If you didn't catch this interview tonight YouTube it and see it, it is really worth seeing :)

          Janet has always been beautiful to me. Never ugly. Her brothers with exception to Michael, need glasses. The women that they have dated and/or married were less than cute. Janet was very poised and articulate as usual. Love her!

            Re: Talk of the Town': It's so sad that there are so many places in America that 'truthiness' has become 'fact'.

            Sure, one can be suspicious. Sure, you can be absolutely sure he did it.

            But you can't prosecute someone based on gossip, 'truthiness', and very flimsy circumstantial evidence. So very, very flimsy.

            And these prosecutors have shown many times before that they have no ethical issues with being dishonest.

            So much for places such as this being all about American values.

              "Talk of the Town" - another possible scenario, the "Viagra Connection". Did anyone investigate this possible connection? It is a result of the deceased's own vanity. This man could have self-ingested that

              Insulin pill thinking he was taking Viagra. Both the Insulin pill and Viagra are similar. He may have found the pill at the in-laws and not known what he was taking.
