Did You Know
Ugg Boot
Before we get to that, let me tell you a story. About a week and a half ago, me and two others went to an open casting call for an upcoming movie to be filmed in north Louisiana called Homeland Security with Antonio Banderas and Meg Ryan. I turned in my picture and my application thinking that nothing would ever come of it. Today I got the call telling me that I was going to be in an airport scene one day next week. How cool is that? Very. Touch me. No really, touch me please. Just like that, oh yeah baby.

i think i've actually read this list on your site before, b...maybe.
Susan Lucci is not really Phyllis Diller's daughter, BTW.
First it was Tom Hanks who wooed Meg Ryan in those lovable films SLEEPLESS IN SEATTLE and YOU GOT MAIL. Now the adorable Brad Dison plans to protect Meg Ryan in HOMELAND SECURITY. Will this new on-screen couple make it out alive and escape the evildoers plotting to destroy our freedoms? Will they be able to defeat that no-good terrorist Antonio Banderas? Find out this summer...
