though this ~~performer~~ delusionally narcissistic merlot love'n florist...die'n fer a permanent spot on Dr. Phil and poster child fer ENEMA'S-R-US...has cornered the market on alienate'n those around her these days...this alien owned the movie market with millions of fans fall'n in love with them without have'n to barely say a word in '82

and even though this boy band might be top'n the charts now...this BOY and his band conquered the world by storm in 1982

and go it alone thru-out the 90's
