Roto-Reuters: Some Hollywood women say too busy to shave armpits

Sorry to disappoint you, kiddies, but they don't spend their time reading and discussing The Consolation of Philosophy and the like. (That is a favorite fantasy of mine...me, Boethius, a nice Chianti, and the Olsen twins.)

Some of Hollywood's most successful women share an unexpected byproduct of success -- hairy armpits.

And the Hollyweirdos wonder why nobody takes them seriously.

That was one of the lighter messages brought home on Tuesday at a star-studded breakfast, hosted by the Hollywood Reporter in conjunction with the publication of its 15th annual Women In Entertainment Power 100 list.

"It's a miracle I'm here," said keynote speaker Maria Bello, star of "World Trade Center," in describing her hectic morning as a multi-tasking mom during which she finally got around to "shaving two-week old growth" under her arms.

Eek!

"I still have two-week old growth," quipped fellow "World Trade Center" star Maggie Gyllenhaal, another keynote speaker who, like Bello, earned accolades for her role in the Oliver Stone-directed drama about the September 11 attacks.

Don't they have illegal immigrants or Frenchmen to take care of that stuff for them?
