Finally, patriotism is popping up in places where you least expect it. The Oscar Award people have said that they will forego the red carpet entrance ritual, where normally the stars pose and preen for the cameras and the crowd. The producers said this is a decision based on "expressing solidarity with the troops fighting in Iraq." In a similarly spirited gesture, Jennifer Lopez announced she is leading her 100 strong posse to Iraq as an combat platoon attached to the 101 Airborne Division. The jLO platoon will be oufitted in the desert-camouflage version of the famous Versace dress she wore at 2001 Oscars, especially mass-tailored for this patriotic occasion by Donatella Versace. US Army assigned two extra DC Heavy Lifters to carry the cargo of Pellegrino bottled water Ms. Lopez requires for the duration of the campaign.
