Laura Bell BundyAt the Golden Globes, they put all the bigger stars in the front; the movie stars in the front, TV actors in the back. But even as a movie star, you can be outseated by a bigger star in any given year. It's kind of hilarious. You have to take it in stride.
Julianne MooreThe model for an NHL without fighting is right there in front of us. The [playoffs are] the time of year that fans love best; when the best hockey is played...
