    WHY WEI Heart WeedsCARRIE FISHER
    Click EasyEdit to add your reasons to the list.
    • Princess Leia!! plain and simple!! Star Wars was one of the best movies of all time and the original trilogy took movies to a whole new level and Carrie provided some of the best entertainment as Leia.

    • Because she is now on Weeds too!! Weeds is a great show and her references to testicles when she throws the fish on the desk is great. It gets even better when she tells Celia she has screwed up her own chances in her custody battle.
