In Hollywood, there is another name for a woman's 40th birthday party, it's a retirement party.
Everytime I go to Vegas, I seem to incur some kind of fine.
I want to see Toby Maguire fight Christian Bale.
Well I have a drug history and a public drinking problem and I am not the healthiest guy. So they just ran that I died of a drug overdose.
