Samurai Frog has apparently been modelling for Supreme Clothing on the sly, and plans to appear in a photography exhibition in Paris too.

I thought we were friends, but I only heard about it through an article in CO-ED Magazine.

These celebrities forget about the little people so quickly. :cry:

*I was working in a cinema when Psycho was rereleased in 1998, and I can remember hearing the soundtrack from outside the screen door, but not actually being able to watch more than a few minutes of the film.

I’ve only seen 36 out of the 100, which isn’t a great score. I bet some of you have seen loads more than me. What’s your score?
