Good news for "Moonlight" fans.

I love that Moonlight was number one. The show is great and deserves to be renewed. I got a little nervous when they said "There are only 2 new episodes left." Then they said something about if you don't see them it is your last chance. They did not say if it was forever, or last chance for the season.

I was sadly startled to see Ghost Whisperer guest star Nikki Cox, whom I have not seen since she left Las Vegas. Her lips were so full of collagen, I think I could see Jay Mohr cringing along with me when he had to kiss her. Why do these women--who are already beautiful--do this to themselves!? I don't know if it's possible to reverse that process, but she should do so immediately. She was a knockout before she allowed this to be done to herself!

Whew! For a moment I thought it was just me. I never saw Las Vegas but it makes me cringe to think that she might have looked normal before this. Wow, she looked more like a caricature than a human being -- the b@$+@rd child of Mick Jagger and Steven Tyler.

On a less swollen note, YAY for Moonlight! I can only hope that my show is inching ever closer to that magic renewal. Vampire solidarity -- RAH, RAH!

the b@$+@rd child of Mick Jagger and Steven Tyler. Thanks, lvk1978, you've now driven the mental picture of too-much-collagen out of my head. Now I'm dealing with imagining this potential birthing process!!!

I was sadly startled to see Ghost Whisperer guest star Nikki Cox, whom I have not seen since she left Las Vegas. Her lips were so full of collagen, I too was startled when I saw Nikki Cox. I was like why would she do that? Since Jay Mohr is married to her I imagine he actually kisses her a lot. I wonder what he really thinks about the lips.

Jay Mohr is tied with Chris Rock as my favorite comedian, so I hope he didn't have any influence on her decision to do this. (Frankly, this is the sort of poor judgment I expected from her when she was with Bobcat Goldthwait!)

Whew! For a moment I thought it was just me. No, looks like it's unanimous!!!!!Maybe next week Melinda can lead those things to the light.....

I don't normally watch GW, but I tuned in toward the end as I waited for Moonlight to start...and was repulsed by Nikki Cox's balloon lips. WTH would possess anybody to do that to themselves? Has she never seen Jocelyn Wildenstein?

Those lips! All I could think of when I saw her lips was the line from Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer when Santa kept saying "that nose!" I was so afraid she would be a regular on the show and although I love it I would have had to stop watching as those lips are far too distracting.

Nikki Cox's lips were a total distraction whenever she appeared on screen. That's all I could focus on as they were SO SO unnatural. It looked like her lips were stung by dozens of bees.
