SPECIAL EDITION: YEAR IN QUOTES
Dear Readers,
I wish I could tell you ALL the things celebrities tell me. Each year I talk with scores of stars about family, friends, politics, movies and myriad other topics. To answer your questions, I, or one of my contributors, will ask anything. And because most of our subjects are eager to talk, we learn a lot. Unfortunately, too often I can't squeeze in all the good stuff. As we close our last issue of this year, I want to share with you the best "outtakes" of 2005's Who's News interviews. These are quotes you haven't read before. Enjoy!

"I missed her most on the day my son arrived. It was the first time I cried about it."
-- Rosie O'Donnell, on her mother's death from cancer when O'Donnell was 10.
"I'm not in favor of the death penalty, because we really don't know about death. What if we're sending people on to one big party?"
-- "Alias" actor Carl Lumbly
"I would ditch school, go to Taco Bell and order three burritos and two tacos."

"I do hear, 'Oh, she's too beautiful; she's too glamorous,' which is frustrating, because in a town where they can do anything -- if they're shooting "Antarctica," they can build it -- the fact that they can't dress down a woman is preposterous."
-- Actress Garcelle Beauvais-Nilon, on explanations she hears when she's not cast.
