The stars of the silver screen shone brightly on their big night out in Los Angeles, California, and all week we will show some of the glamorous designer gowns they wore.

It's carnival fever time on Friday night, it was bacchanal time at Mas Camp.

TUESDAYTALK

1. Wrong script

The script was not supposed to read that way. The father worked assiduously and amassed great wealth and expected that the offspring would pick up the baton. Both parents must be turning in their graves to see how one of the daughters is using the proceeds of the business to fund her habit. Some are predicting doom, if something is not done immediately.

2. Non protest

People are saying that one bigwig in the trucking industry will never be seen among the placard-bearing group. For all intents and purposes, he is a silent partner who has been peddling influence and raking in the dollars but who would like to remain invisible and above the fray.

3. Cayman, here we come!

Seems some folks on the rock did not get enough from the ex-prez' visit last time, so now they are heading to nearby Cayman for a better chance at hobnobbing. Those whose credit cards are in poor health have been pouring scorn on their friends who are making plans to jet away.

4. Another old fool

So the old man is at it again. Many thought after the divorce he would have mellowed and dedicated himself to the one who forgave him and welcomed him back home. But no, his roving eyes continue to lead him in many directions. Now the long-suffering wife says she has had enough.
