COOL Ivory... I have to give it up for SJP, too. In addition to her, though: Natalie Wood, Ruth Brown, Tracee Ellis Ross, Nikki Giovanni, Terri Lyne Carrington, and Claudette Robinson (she's all around cool, but here's how she gets ultimate cool points: when the Miracles used to perform "you really got a hold on me" they would do this little dance where they would turn around and do a slow, side to side during the instrumental break that ends when Smokey says "Tighter"... for her to be the only girl on the stage, in heels, in the middle, doing THAT dance with the boys, and STILL looking prim... it's so "I'm one of the boys, but I'm not"... just utter ladylike cool.)

Halle Berry
Even though I'm not a guy, if I were I'd put Don Cheadle, George Clooney, and Denzel Washington on my list. They're cool without trying to overdo it, and just men's men, I think.

From all the aformentioned celebs, I have to give props to: Sarah Jessica, Pam Grier, Tia and Tamera (but especially Tamera, she's my favorite of the twins), Diahann, Catherine-Zeta Jones, Claudette Robinson.
Beyonce is pretty but I don't care a thing for her singing.

Ivory,
You've probably already answered this question, but does your new "picture" reflect a new hair style?

Ok Dbaby, queen of the obscure celebrity discoverers, WHO is Rivers Cuomo? Or should I say WHAT is Rivers Cuomo? Sadly Jane, no. Try as I might, I could never achieve the beloved flip in my hair, it's just too curly. .............. The avatar however does reflect my new favorite artist... "Shag"

Who is Rivers Cuomo? WHO IS RIVERS CUOMO?? *clears throat* Rivers Cuomo is the lead singer for the popular emo band, Weezer. Weezer has enjoyed many hits such as El Scorcho, Buddy Holly, and Why Bother. Rivers Cuomo is 32 years old, and he plays lead guitar. Weezer has four CD's out, which includes The Blue Album, Pinkerton, The Green Album, and the newest creation, Maladroit. While I don't have the Green Album or Maladroit, I enjoy the CD's I do have very much. Rivers Cuomo also has the coolest name ever, with the exception of my friend Grant's middle name, which is MacNight. Rivers Cuomo is the most beautiful man in the world, which is amplified by his kick butt glasses. While he is also cute without his glasses, I prefer them. He did go through a rather strange lumberjack period in which he had longer hair and a beard, which made him very ugly. Thankfully he got over this insaneness. While I do realize that Rivers is 17 years older then me, I have created blue prints for a time machine, which I will create once materials (including a porter potty and a motor of some kind) are made ready, and I will go back to 1989 or so and get him and bring him back with me to the 1950's and 1960's. I do hope this answered your inquery about Rivers Cuomo. Thank you for your time.
