Allison Janney narrates audiobooks. Well, I've only found four so far, but still, that's pretty cool. I purchased two of them. Wanna hear the summaries?
The Abduction
Allison Leahy is the U.S. attorney general and the highly touted Democratic nominee for the presidency. Her opponent is Lincoln Howe, a retired 4-star army general and bona fide African-American hero. Both candidates are living the American dream, until their neck-and-neck campaign takes an ominous turn when Howe's 12-year-old granddaughter, Kristen, is kidnapped on her way to school. Now both candidates come under fire for exploiting the tragedy to their political advantage, and Allison must face her own painful past, when her own adopted baby daughter was abducted and never found.

Cold Hit
On a steamy August evening, after an exhausting day in the courtroom, Assistant District Attorney Alexandra Cooper joins her longtime pals and partners-in-investigation, NYPD detectives Mike Chapman and Mercer Wallace, at a somber crime site. In her ten years as a sex crimes prosecutor, Alex has seen many victims, but few more poignant than today's, pulled from the water with her hands and feet obscenely tied to a ladder. Sleep comes uneasily after such a vision, but the knowledge that monsters walk the city's streets, preying on the innocent, motivates Alex and her colleagues with their sometimes heartbreaking work. Perhaps this time they will be lucky. A "cold hit" will match DNA from the crime scene with a suspect's DNA profile in the police database. Or is there a more sinister kind of "cold hit" that claimed the victims life in this case? Who was she? Her elegant clothes and manicured nails suggest affluent connections, but just how well connected suprises even Alex. Illuminating and inspiring, Cold Hit takes us from the paint-chipped offices of cops and D.A.s to the elegant restaurants of Alex's privileged Upper East Side life. The contrast is stunning, but it's all part of the extraordinary world that author Linda Fairstein has brought so vividly to life in this magnificent novel of suspense

I'm really excited to listen to these! Yay Allison Janney!
I'm watching Facts of Life onDemand. There's this episode from season 6 where Natalie fills out computer dating sheets for Jo and Blair to try and set them up with their perfect men (little does she know...lol) Anyway, she fills one out for herself, too, and gets this hot guy who is super cracked out. He's making me laugh so hard!
Rex: Great place you picked, Nat! It's got the third best salad bar in New York state!
Nat: You rate salad bars?
Rex: Sure! I've been studying them for years! It's an interest of mine! And I've found that you can really make them work for you if you got a system!
Nat: ...Fascinating. Blair, in this candlelight, your eyes really sparkle. Don't they sparkle, Chip?
Rex: Okay, here's the thing! Eat a lot of salad! Then you'll be full so you can take your entree home in a doggy bag and have it for lunch tomorrow!! It's a system that really works for me!
Chip: I'm gonna hit the salad bar...
Rex: One tip, don't get too much lettuce, because then you won't have room for the alfalfa sprouts, garbanzo beans, or baco' bits! Trust me. *wink* It's my system!
Why is this so funny to me??? I'm seriously cracking up! LOL!
ETA!!!!!!!
I was searching all over for a clip of this scene and I have finally found it!

Blair: Oh my god!
Tootie: A car full of girls!
Natalie: ...I can see we're a little confused here...
No, Natalie, perhaps they're perfectly clear. Especially since Blair's head is now in Jo's lap, and now they are singing "we've got a love you don't find every day" and gazing into each other's eyes. This show is SO. GAY.
LILY TOMLIN is going to be on "Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D List" on Monday.
Hehe!!! :D
