People.com is reporting that Former President Bill Clinton is en route to Los Angeles with Lisa Ling’s sister Laura Ling and their reporter friend Euna Lee after talks with North Korea’s Leader Kim Jong II resulted in their pardon and release.

Laura Ling and Euna Lee were initially detained March 17 after trespassing from China and sentenced in June to 12 years of hard labor for “committing hostilities against the Korean nation and illegal entry.”

The talks with North Korea are said to have been ‘exhaustive’.

This is absolutely the best news to hear!  The stress these women have endured not to mention that of their family and friends must have been beyond tremendous.  I can not even fathom it.  God bless Bill Clinton and all those involved in making this mission successful!

Jennifer Aniston covers the September 2009 issue of Elle Magazine, and whether you like her or not, you can not deny that this girl has thick skin and she isn’t bothered by the ‘lonely girl’ comments:

“I’m not going to ignore the pink elephant in the living room,” “It’s fine. I can take it.” “If I’m the emblem for ‘this is what it looks like to be the lonely girl getting on with her life,’ so be it,”  “I can make fun of myself. And I’ll bring it up as long as the world is bringing it up.”

Humour has been her saving grace:

“I remember being 7 and asking my mom if I was as pretty as [my best friend] Monique,” she recalls. “And with all the love in the world, my mom looked at me and said, ‘Oh, honey, you’re so funny.’ So, she doesn’t lie to me . . . She answers the question by not answering and instead tells me what she thinks is my greatest strength.”

And although she has a good relationship with her father now, he left the family at 9:

“My dad walking out and not seeing him for a year and not knowing where he was . . . Trying to understand, ‘Where did that person go?’”

Do you watch ‘Dexter‘?  The show premieres September 27.  I love this promotional poster, aptly entitled ‘World’s Most KillerDad’.  The show leaves me conflicted at times.  Do you watch?
