Richard Simmons -- Clean Up on Aisle 6

If your weekend shopping list looked like this: Mother's Day card, laundry detergent and a photo with Richard Simmons -- then a Chicago Walgreens had you covered!


Walgreens hosted a special Richard Simmons meet and greet yesterday, where Simmons just stood around in aisle six signing DVD's and taking photos with fans.

One woman even passed out because she was so excited to see him! Well, she actually passed out because of complications from her being a diabetic. Close enough!

Back in the early 80's I joined a club of his in So. Fla - learned the importance back then how to eat sensibly and exercise.

And to NEVER say DIEt.

17. "Meet and great" might not turn up on spellcheck but a person with a reasonable command of the English language should catch it by proofreading.

The spelling, grammar and factual errors that turn up in the posts written by staffers here are inexcusable. Hello Kitty is right. Who cares if people leave comments that contain errors but given that the TMZ staff makes a living by making fun of celebrities and their foibles, they should be able to spell reasonably well. Obviously they have no journalistic skills, nor do they possess comedic abilities.

I think the name of the staff member who writes the story should appear on the story, rather than the generic 'TMZ Staff' byline.

18. Ha...
Your staffers prove every single day what absolute full tilt blind numb-nuts they are. Wow. Who in the hell thinks aisle is spelled "ailse?" Does that honestly look right? Are these typed with elbows and knees or did someone not make it past third grade? Absoludacris!!

"Germ Call"
"Meet and Great"
"Ailse"

And Live cameras going dead. Classy AND professional, I must say..

19. Wow! Multiple typos from TMZ. No budget for an educated staff or even spell check? The usual dummies are at work. How embarrassing. "Aisle" and "meet and greet." Try not sounding like idiots.

20. It is difficult to read this article since the writer couldn't bother to spell correctly, or at least to use spell check. What a moron.

21. I shouldn't have to think FOR someone and figure out what in the world they're saying when they're getting paid to type up this crap. Get it right, for Satan's sake! Also, I agree, they have no comedic skills whatsoever. Always either over the top rude or over the top corny. I take my viewing business over to Dlisted and you should too if you want to LAUGH!

22. What a coincidence! I was just in Walgreen's on Mid-Wilshire today and seriously contemplated purchasing his latest DVD, 'Sweating to the Oldies.' Hmmmmm. I wonder what that means!?

23. Moan and yawn, Monday is here? grrrr!!

He looks a little like Julia Childs here? I think that is the lady that had that cooking show.

24. So, exactly how stupid are you when you can't spell "aisle" and "greet"? Does TMZ have proof readers? Or are they just hanging by a financial thread from their pathetic trash gossip and can't afford them? Time to make Forrest Gump step away from the keyboard, TMZ.

25. HEY ... GET A SPELL CHECKER OR SOMEONE WHO KNOWS THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE!

26. If you need help smiling this monday morning - check this little kid out if you haven't already. They had a bit piece on Fox last night. He is too cute for words!!!

Sorry if i'm off the spell check topic - but this is a MUST see 3 year old singing "Hey Jude".

27. un oh, someone at TMZ is awake!!! They fixed it. How long did THAT take?

28. People, people! Does anybody really expect the writing staff of TMZ to be Einsteins? I know, I know, basic writing skills, but c'mon! The mentality is already at first-grade level so lower your expectations when you read their stories and you won't get so frustrated. At least at MAD magazine, they credit their writing staff as 'The usual gang of idiots'. Hint, hint, TMZ- I don't think that label is copyrighted yet.

29. Richard is so happy, I wish more people were like him. He's not out to hurt people.

30. Richard always makes me smile. He is one of the funniest people on tv. We love you Richard!!!!!!!!!!!!!
