It's twin girls for the sausage king of Chicago
Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick released a photo of their new twin daughters this week: Marion and Tabitha. (That's their son James Wilkie, 6, with them).
If you're feeling in more of a Ferris Bueller mood today, be sure to slip on a Detroit Red Wings jersey (HA-ha, they lost) and say happy birthday to Alan "Cameron Frye" Ruck, who turns 53 today.
Who are we leaving out? Oh, all the female characters from Ferris. Okay, in honor of the new twin babies...
TOP 5 LINES SPOKEN BY FEMALES IN FERRIS BUELLER:
5. "Gummi bear? It's been in my pocket; they're real warm and soft."
4. "Go piss up a flagpole."
3. "He's gonna marry me."
2. "My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw Ferris pass out at 31 Flavors last night. I guess it's pretty serious."
1. "Excuse me: if whoever was in this house is still in the house, I'd like you to know that I've just called the police. I'd also like to add that I've got my father's gun and a *scorching* case of herpes."

E-mail Steve Spears:
OMG I just noticed it looks like she finally got her little boy's hair cut. I guess she was holding out in case she never got that little girl she always wanted. Thank goodness. As if being called James Wilkie wasn't bad enough. Geez.

Sorry, my favorite was always:
"Nine times."
"Nine times?"
"Nine times!"
It's just the way he said it, I guess.

Way to go Abe Froeman!
I need to get my haircut like that!

I agree on the sideburns. Unless Broderick is planning a remake of "Glory" -- because there couldn't be a sequel -- those have gotta go.

Adorable girls! congratulations to the two of them. Now let's talk about those sideburns....

Ferris will be 65 when those twins turn 18. Yikes. 57 when they turn 10. "Dad - come jump in the pool and play. Make sure not to break your hip." He looks much older. Not cool and hip like Steve and Sean.

It is nice seeing a famous couple staying together for as long as these two has. Congrats on the twins

Good one, Brad. I was in a rush.

Ahem.
I think you left someone very important off your list, Steve. The secretary.
"The sportos, the motorheads, geeks, sluts, bloods, wasteoids, dweebies, dickheads — they all adore him. They all think he's a righteous dude."
(Great picture of the Broderick family!)
