And if that man isn't George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Jude Law, or Robert Downey Jr. according to New York Magazine — all of whom have taken, and failed, Lip Lawns 101 — then odds are it also will not be you. "Because unless you are THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS' Victor Newman, whose mouth topiary nicely underlines his attempts to destroy/disinherit/wish death upon people in that dramatic German accent, you will probably end up looking like a cheesy porn star or a low-budget pimp."
LYNDA HIRSCH: Resolution Time for Soaps
"It's resolution time. Here are some of mine: I resolve to lose 10 pounds, to keep my deadlines and to be kind and patient. To keep my domicile as pristine as the Chandler mansion. To help my beloved soaps see a rise in their ratings. To that end I have some resolution suggestions for them."
