Here's former First Lady Laura Bush at an event in NYC on Monday (left), Jack Nicholson as The Joker in "Batman" (center), and Delta Burke at an awards show in L.A. this past weekend (right).


All three have got killer smiles.

We're just sayin'.

Here's First Lady Michelle Obama and her new 'do at the White House last night (left) -- and former First Lady Laura Bush at an event recently (right).


One of them is 62-years-old.

We're just sayin'.

With no good times to reminisce on, the spouses of George W. Bush's cabinet gathered together this week for a final luncheon that at least featured some good eats.

Georgetown's 1789 Restaurant hosted the affair on Wednesday, which featured Laura Bush and Lynne Cheney. The main course featured gave the spouses three options:

-- Roasted free range chicken with Jerusalem artichoke purée, roasted fennel, hedgehog mushrooms and chicken jus.

-- Maryland style crab cakes with parsley spaetzle, honey glazed baby parsnips, roasted hazelnuts and Madeira

-- Chesapeake Bay rockfish with Nantucket Bay scallops, black trumpet mushrooms, celery root and smoked golden trout roe.

None of which could mask the bitter taste of the last eight years.

Some Americans would like to erase the last eight years -- and it appears First Lady Laura Lane Welch Bush already has!



Here's 54-year-old Laura (left) back at the beginning of her husband's presidency in 2001 -- and the 62-year-old refreshed version (right) two weeks ago.

Seems like everybody is ready for change.

It was all kinds of shakin' this week in the Thirty Mile Zone! Halle looked pretty in berry, TV host Gary Collins got pinched, and Hayden Panettiere caused this question: cottage or not?

The third Mrs. Cruise towered over her Scientoloman, Baby Suri shook things up, Woody Allen was the pits and Laura Bush hit the Road to Abu Dhabi.

Move over Madonna, because First Lady Laura Bush is taking time out of her busy schedule of, er, from, er ... she's taking time out of her schedule to write a children's book with her party girl daughter, Jenna! Drinks to that!

The as yet untitled book is due in 2008, and tells the story of "a mischievous little boy who likes to do everything but read." Georgie, porgie -- is that you?!

The mother/daughter team is a perfect choice for authoring children's books. At age 17, Laura ran a stop sign and killed a man in another vehicle, while a few years ago, Jenna was caught underage drinking and using a fake ID. Mrs. Bush and Jenna are already role models -- for Brandy and Lindsay!
