To the one who crushed "The Boy Who Could Fly": His name is Jay Underwood.
He was also in the "Not Quite Human" movies.

To the one who claims immunity to celebrity: I prefer plastic bags, please!

My'80s crushes: Joan Jett- The video for "Do You Wanna Touch?"  (O, YEAH)
                      Sheena Easton- up until she married Don Johnson.
                      Elisabeth Shue- Saw her in "Link". Trippy!!!!!
                      Robin Harris (Lt. Saavik, from "Star Trek 3")- She looked hot, in the pon-farr scenes.
                      Wendy O. Williams- Saw a couple of Plasmatics videos- she was hot. RIP
                      Cindy Morgan- 'Tron' did nothing for me, but 'Caddyshack'...all around classic!

Kim Richards- Isn't she dead, now?
Tracey Gold- Ummm. nah, never saw that much in her.

Dian Parkinson- Not sure which boys DIDN'T grow up having it hard for her.
Demi Moore- Kinda...I think it was "St. Elmo's Fire" that did it.

There was one more- what was her name? She was in a rather cheesy movie...platinum hair, kinda long...thin waist, with tig ol' bitties, I remember...she had an obnoxious laugh, but that was a mere oversight...

So in that case, whatever you do, don't look up a guy by the name of Mojo Nixon, and whatever you do, don't put that in your car stereo, drive out down past the fire roads, out behind route 140, and don't roll down the windows, honk your horn, put the pedal to the medal, and start screamin'...

Written By: HawkTheSlayer on 05/07/06 at 5:16 am

I DID hear about a Kim Richards dying, a few days ago...it mentioned her being a child actress, so naturally that is where I thought it was heading. If I am in error, I appreciate the correction.
I never implied that Tia died- I heard that Kim Richards did.

That being said, let's get back to the real issue, here:

I thought on it, and here are a few more, for those interested in it:

-The Jumping Bomb Angels- Yes, I was a WWF fan back in the day.
-Apollonia- at least, until she turned religious. I'm glad she lived through it all, but still.....
-Renee Richards. That photoshoot she did for "Frederick's Of Hollywood"..... :-X

P.S. BTW, did you happen to catch the remake of "Escape To Witch Mountain", on Disney?
Or how about "Return To Witch Mountain", with Christopher Lee and Bette Davis?

I just saw this at a store the other day. I thought to myself, "Isn't that the kid from "Blue Lagoon?" And, yes, I believe it was - I didn't realise he was in another "water" related movie.
