How is it possible that Diane Sawyer is married to Mike Nichols

[soleft]

Mike Nichols who teamed to with Tony Kushner to bring his scathing attack on all things Republican. Is this another Carville/Maitlin opposite ideologies attract? I don't get it.

Mike Nichols apparently watched the Hollywood Foreign Press awards from London - I wonder what his reaction was to Meryl Streep's acceptance speech, and if it differed at all from the woman who tried to intimidate Judy Dean with the glamor of Pickles.

1. i thought she was married to Forrester

2. I'm afraid it must have

something to do with blackmail.

How else could he stand her? Not that he can stand her now, but I do believe he is being held against his will.

3. What did he do with

Tony Kushner? I can't remember. I don't know how you can be married to someone who believes in everything you are against.

4. He directed Angels in America

6. I didn't know that was

anti Republican. Streep was great she said she didn't think the two biggest problems our country faces now are two people who want to join their lives together and steroids in sports. It was great!

5. What did Meryl Streep say??? I missed the awards...

I'd love to know!

7. Hmm, he's in London, she's in the States

I wonder if either of them ever flies back and forth.

They could have been going their separate ways for years without ever going to the trouble of getting divorced.

Having seen Mike Nichols in his days as part of a comedy team with Elaine May (back in the days when there were stone computers powered by kerosene), I always had trouble imagining him and "Junior Miss" Diane as a couple.

9. "Lila" and Mike

the media millionaires - the only tennis court this Fourth Estate meets on is for doubles and martinis ...



Just when it seemed Robert Redford would never get rid of his Manhattan penthouse, neighbors Diane Sawyer and her director hubby Mike Nichols stepped up to the plate, according to published reports. Redford had been hoping for an ambitious $15 million for his southwestern-style home, but after he dropped the price a few weeks ago, Diane Sawyer and Mike Nichols decided to take the plunge. The couple is reportedly paying less than $10 million for the place. The move will be fairly easy--it's just upstairs from their current 12-room apartment. The couple wanted to gain access to Redford's terraces so their dog can roam freely. The trouble and cost of moving will apparently be worth it since they won't have to take their dog to the park every morning.

Sawyer, 56, (born Lila Sawyer in Glasgow, Ky.), a 1963 America's Junior Miss and a Wellesley graduate, started co-hosting Good Morning America in 1999, thinking it would be temporary. But the "temporary" gig has lasted three years, and with ratings growing by the day, it doesn't look like she's going anywhere anytime soon. Nichols, born Michael Igor Peschkowsky in Berlin in 1931, first rose to fame in the late 1950s as half of a comedy act with Elaine May. He then went on to direct such hits as The Graduate, Catch-22, Carnal Knowledge and The Birdcage. He and Sawyer were married in 1988.


George To Georgetown?

Back to where it all started.

ABC news correspondent George Stephanopoulos might be even closer to returning to Washington D.C. According to a local real estate source, Stephanopoulos is under contract to buy a six-bedroom $2.275 million home in Georgetown that just went on the market last month. Stephanopoulos, a regular commentator on This Week, has been rumored to be in line to either replace existing co-anchors Sam Donaldson and Cokie Roberts or to get a new show of his own to be shot in Washington. Last month the former campaign manager for Bill Clinton put his $2 million-plus Gramercy Park apartment on the market, just a couple of months after completing the purchase of the property.
