Every now and then I like to take a look at what the more muscular celebrity ladies are up to. The pickin's are a little slim, but what the heck.
CBS News anchor Katie Couric bowled bare-sleeved last night at Chelsea Piers, for a colon cancer fund-raiser. Couric's no spring chicken but she's known for her muscularity.

Jessica Biel may be cast as Chun-Li in the new "Street Fighter" film.

I don't know who Amanda Harrington is, either, but wow. She's got a gym body and curves that just go on and on.

Rikki Lake lost the fat, kept the fat-girl muscle.

I admit the Rikki Lake thing is kind of Tre'esque.

If I might, may I post my humble thoughts in bullet-point form?
1. I don't really have an opinion on Couric as I know nothing about her.
2. The thought that Jess might be about to do an action film fills me with pleasure and anticipation, but the blog linked-to by Lingster suggests that it's unlikely and that, even if she did, it'd be a clunker. Not so good. :cry:
3. Harrington, whoever she is, is nice but hardly buff.
4. Neither is Rikki Lake. Channel 4 here in the UK used to show her programme, and, when I gave it a try, she came across as being rather unpleasant. Her accent drove me round the bend also.
5. Evangeline Lily :twisted: 8)
I remember reading about her a while back when she first got buff, and being most annoyed when one of those ridiculous internet blogs called her muscles ugly and manly (this was at the same time as they were criticising Jess for the same reason, and NOBODY calls Jess manly on MY watch!) I read shortly afterwards that she'd gone thin, so rather forgot about her until now. She's still gorgeous and buff, and, as for someone on "Fitsugar" saying that she seemed arrogant on Letterman's programme; what a load of codswallop! She was funny, entertaining and actually quite self-deprecating. It was Letterman who was the discordant note, IMO, because of his overplayed 'humourous' dirty old man act.
5. Wilkinson is cute, but I honestly can't see the buffness.

Well, it's a good thing Amaz0ns isn't a podcast, then. Both Masschine and I are from the same part of the country as Rikki Lake.

I'm not suggesting that I couldn't stand your accent, or Masschine's either. A lot has to do with the timbre and tone of someone's voice, and I just happened to find her voice grating. Where is she/are you from, then, or is that a secret? :lol:

...I just don't generally tell people. Let's call it the greater New York metropolitan area. Ricki Lake is from Hastings-on-Hudson, which is a bit north of the city.

Strange that a town just outside New York City on the river should be named after a Kentish seaside town. :0
Thanks for answering my pointless question, though.

Never made much of a study of North American place names, eh? That whole area is a mishmash of British, Dutch and indigenous names.

Not strange that it should have a British name, strange because the geography as you describe it is very different to that of the Hastings in England.

Usually there are three reasons (that I can think of) why a place in the Americas has the same name as a place in Europe:
*The new place is in some way physically reminiscent of the old
*The founder or founders of the new place are native to the old place
*The old place name has some important historical meaning that the founders of the new wish to impart
Given the events of 1066 and the American revolution, the village's placement on a (still tidal) body of water and the likely ethnic origin of its founders, it is entirely probable that the naming of Hastings-on-Hudson relied on all three of those reasons.
