Dennis Quaid man! The only reason I recognized the name was all the freakin' rebroadcasts on cable. My wife and I used to be browsing the guide and one of us would say "Hey, I know, we could watch the Parent Trap! We haven't seen that in AGES!" at least twice a week. It was an awesome running gag. But as a result I saw her name a lot.

No clue. They aren't doing away with the original Dora, as far as I know, but it does appear that there will be "dual track" Dora's out there, one for the pre-school set and one for the tweens.

Ah yes, Dennis Quaid. I do remember him. Funny, I don't think I've ever seen The Parent Trap on TV, it's always been on VHS (we don't even have it on DVD).

My wife and I have been discussing this for the last few minutes over IRC, and her points are that: 1) The way to compete with Hannah Montana and the Bratz is not to BE them, but to DIFFERENTIATE from them. Forget the short skirt / leggings look, she ought to continue dressing outdoorsy and having outdoor adventures. 2) She needs to get away from all "girlfriends" and have a mix.

I love how this thread went from the injury of Natasha Richardson (Her sister plays Julia on Nip/Tuck, btw), to who the hell is Natasha Richardson, to if the new Dora the Explorer is becoming a slut.

The freaky thing is that Natasha Richardson was going to be the voice of Tween Dora. Totally true, I read it in the Enquirer.

Several outlets now reporting that a spokesperson for Richardson's family says she has died.

Well, at least there is some good that came of this
(CNN) -- Connie and Donald McCracken were watching CNN one evening last week when they learned of the tragic death of actress Natasha Richardson from a head injury. Immediately, their minds turned to their 7-year-old daughter, Morgan, who was upstairs getting ready for bed. Morgan McCracken's epidural hematoma is the lens-shaped white mass at the top right of the left CT scan. Two days earlier, Morgan, her father, and brother had been playing baseball in the yard of their Mentor, Ohio, home when her father hit a line drive that landed just above Morgan's left temple. A lump formed, but the McCrackens iced it down and the swelling subsided within an hour. "For the next two days, she was perfectly fine," Donald McCracken says. "She had no symptoms. She went to school both days and got an A on her spelling test as usual. There were no issues whatsoever." But after hearing about Richardson's death, the McCrackens wondered if Morgan was really as OK as she seemed. After all, Richardson had been talking and lucid immediately after her fatal injury. When they went upstairs to kiss Morgan good night, she complained of a headache. "Because of Natasha, we called the pediatrician immediately. And by the time I got off the phone with him, Morgan was sobbing, her head hurt so much," McCracken says. The McCrackens took Morgan to the emergency room at LakeWest Hospital in neighboring Willoughby, where doctors ordered a CT scan and immediately put Morgan on a helicopter to Rainbow Babies and Children's Hospital in Cleveland, with her father by her side. "I knew it was bad when she had to get there by helicopter in six minutes, instead of the 30 minutes it would have taken to get to Cleveland in an ambulance," McCracken said. When the helicopter arrived at Rainbow, the McCrackens were greeted by Dr. Alan Cohen, the hospital's chief of pediatric neurosurgery. He whisked Morgan into the operating room, pausing for a moment to tell McCracken that his daughter had the same injury as Richardson: an epidural hematoma. McCracken remembers standing in the emergency room, feeling like the life had just been sucked out of him. "My heart sank," he says. "It just sank." Unlike Richardson's, Morgan's story has a happy ending. After surgery and five days in the hospital, she's at home and doing fine. "Dr. Cohen told us that if we hadn't brought her in Thursday night, she never would have woken up," McCracken says.

Wow Mustang, that story is incredible. Exactly the horror story that I mentioned above regarding always wondering about my own kids now if they ever get a head injury. Really good news that their daughter ended up ok from it.

Great story - but I wonder what the actual medical advice on head injuries is. From what I remember from the Richardson story, she also waited until until having a headache before seeking medical help - same as this girl.
