Oh, Richard, it's fine! Please don't apologize for anything! Hell, my best friend and I refer to Kate as "The Asshat" in private conversation. Sometimes we conjure up scenarios where she falls down flights of stairs (not enough to seriously injure her; we're not that cruel). We feel this is a public service to the rest of Metro.
And yes, we love Kate because we know she's an odd duck and we understand her eccentricities. Not everyone does, however, which is the point I'm trying to make.

These are the series of events as they happened:
GINGER [TO HERSELF]: "♪♫ Trolololo, ho dee hum. Here I ammmm on the RKO lot, just-a walkin' in muh new mink coat. ♫ ♪ Oh! Is that Kate and, my, George Stevens in that window! I shall say hello!"
KATE: "Oh, son of a bitch. She's walking towards us."
GEORGE: "Please don't do anything. I will let you have your way with me....?"
KATE: ::eyebrow::
GINGER [SHOUTING]: "Hey, up there!"
KATE: ::EVIL::
GEORGE: "Why hello, Ginger. You're looking lovely today."
GINGER: "Why thank you! Don't you just adore my new mink coat?"
GEORGE: "~Ooooh~"
KATE: "It's just lahvly, deeuh. Pardon me, just a second!"
[KATE DISAPPEARS INTO THE SHADOWS]
GEORGE: "Heh heh, awkward turtles abound."
KATE [PRODUCING GLASS O' WATER]: "If it's real mink, well then it won't shrink!"
[SHE DUMPS THAT WATER ALL OVER GINGER]
GINGER [SOBBING]: "BIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITCHHH."
KATE: "BWAHAHAHAAAAAAAA I BET IT SHRINKS, HO."
The End.

That... more or less is what went down. Take a little bit o' Kate's side and a little bit o' Ginger's side. And add to that Ginger sleeping with Kate's sloppy-seconds. AH LOVES ME A GOOD OLD-FASHIONED RIVALRY!
(LOL, Kate fans are so bitchy. The Ginger fans really don't have a sense o' humor about this snafu, though. Emulating our role models, much? EFF YEAH, HAVING THE ABILITY TO DEFEND OURSELVES IN A FIGHT!)

I remember Kate said in her autobio that the idea of Ginger playing Elizabeth 'the virgin queen' was ridiculous. I thought it was because she was married sooo many times but the more I read this I think its from all sleeping around she did. Ginger comes off as very religous but holy crap. Howard Hughes, Leland, Jimmy Stewart, Cary Grant...etc.......... wow I still love her though!

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
::applauding Amber for the historically-accurately-discribed scripted version::
What an epic turn of events.
Amanda, that's hilarious. I don't remember that bit in Me!
And rewind a sec, did someone say Leland? As in "we did it" Leland?

::curtsies::
Well, Luddy was the "we did it" man. "And that was the end of mah virtue." —KHH. But you're not seeing things---check BOTH Leland Hayward and HOW-WHAD off of Ginger's "to-do" list. Hence, why I called them "sloppy-seconds".
I just pretend Kate and George were gettin' horizontal the entire time, so it makes all of this easier to digest. Or perhaps harder. I don't know, I don't know!

Oh why do these people have to have such similar names. Luddy, of course is the one I was thinking of.
So why did Ginger have Kath's sloppy seconds? What tha heck is with that. I mean, she wasn't gorgeous enough to find someone new in Hollywoodland to do 'the horizontal' with (sidenote: it sounds like a dance, like 'the continental' bahaha)? I'm miffed.

HAHAHA, it does sound like a dance!
I... honestly have no idea. I'm really not the one that should be answering those questions, as I didn't read Ginger's book. (Girl probably just wanted to give the big "EFF YOU" to Kate.)
When Kate dumped How-whad, he went ahead and slept with Ginger on the re-bound... and then had to meet Lela like, the day after. GOD WHY IS EVERYBODY SO WEIRD.

Never saw that in The Aviator! LOL.. Oh Howard must have loved that. Such fun! Meeting the mother the day after. Specially THAT mother. Although he was a man with many words.
It's funny to hear that the gals just didn't get along, although I guess they were destined to hate each other. They had such great on screen chemistry in Stage Door. Phft.

Well, it wasn't all that difficult to find women who'd ended up with Howard at some point...we can't exactly fault Ginger, he seems to have been quite the chick magnet. I have never been fond of Ginger, so is it okay to say- more power to Kate? Like, yeah, it was rude and all...but... if KATE did it... Haha. As for Ginger's autobio...it did seem a bit disjointed, but the section with the Mary of Scotland screen test completely made the book for me. I think we'd all give a lot to be a fly on the wall for that particular fiasco!

That's why books are your friends! I wouldn't know half the dirt I do if it weren't for the Clearfield Interloan Lie-berry.

Jess you just need to wade through the random comments that lead to no where. I'm waiting for the book to pick up, I've been in the 30's for the first 250 pages. lol
