'Bulletproof' Premiere

This is an incredible start. She was out there lettering in Quidditch for Slytherin before we knew Hogwarts existed.

Can you Name That Donna Martin Boyfriend based on what color hair Tori Spelling has? It's a worthy game. I THINK this is when Donna and Noah were together, after she and David finally did the deed. Also, Parkr Posey looks exactly as she should -- like she's going to try and sell you crystals that are slightly vengful -- and Rachael is in... shiny track pants, animal print, and feathers? I don't think The Raven wore animal print.

Did these two date? (His "personal life" section on Wikipedia has been scraped down to just his sports team fandom.) Perhaps they were drawn together by a mutual enthusiasm for tank tops. And very little else, judging by how stern they are here.

I would not say She's All That is hip or smart, or even intentionally hilarious? It IS a classic of that era of film, though. (Dear 2000 Rachael: Your eyebrows DO grow back, I swear.)

And then I gather they dated. Groovy! That dress neds some jewelry, but I applaud her commitment to red lipstick and red in general. It works on her -- and of course was the color from her iconic Coming Down The Stairs moment in She's All That, after Anna Paquin, yes, Anna Paquin, gives her a makeover (read: takes off her glasses).

'Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull' film premiere, 61st Cannes Film Festival, Cannes, France - 18 May 2008
'Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull' premieres at Cannes where we see at the age of 66 the return of Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones, 19 years since the last one. Directed by Steven Spielberg and starring Harrison Ford, Cate Blanchett, Karen Allen, Shia LaBeouf, Ray Winstone, John Hurt and Jim Broadbent. The story follows archaeologist Dr. Henry 'Indiana' Jones when he is called back into action when he becomes entangled in a Soviet plot to uncover the secret behind mysterious artifacts known as the Crystal Skulls.
https://www.indianajones.com/site/index.html
Are THOSE the same shoes, or also merely similar? Also, I was surprised to see her pop up at Cannes. She was there at the premiere of Indiana Jones Yada Yada Paychecks, but I can't sort out why, or what she was doing in a teen's spring formal dress.

... but what exactly is different? Is it a Jennifer Grey thing, or is it just that she filled in her brows even more with pencil? Or did a different contouring trick on her nose? She has a very good face, one that I cannot imagine ever permanently monkeying with, but I don't get to make that decision and I don't know her life. Maybe nothing happened; maybe something had to happen. She's still lovely, but it did startle me. Maybe it is just a combination of makeup tricks.

And now she looks like Natalie Portman? And in a shiny ruffly romper, to boot. But look how far we have come since athletic socks and shit-kicking boots in 1996. Mayb she and FPJ can rustle up a Zoom sequel to She's All That, which finally settles the question of whether HIS character ever was.
