In my mind, there are few better ways to wake up than with Diane Keaton talking about full lips and dropping f-bombs. Good Morning America, indeed. The Oscar-winning actress stopped by the ABC morning show yesterday to chat about her upcoming film Mad Money (costarring Katie Holmes and Queen Latifah).
