I Demand a ReCount...
~People Magazine came out with their list of Sexiest Men and much like Nielsen ratings, I want to figure out who decides this nonsense because Bradley Cooper is not sexy. He’s bland and vanilla. He’s a mayonnaise, watercress, white bread sandwich. And though he plays smuggy, smug jerkwads in film, I think he’s actually a sweet guy-but that cloying kind of sweet. It’s probably why and Jennifer Esposito were married for such a short time. She couldn’t take this clinging vine of a man. Now with a marriage at the way, I can see him being a serial dater like George Clooney. Another man whose sexy status I just don’t get. But at least Clooney has a great sense of humor. Cooper hangs with Dax Shepherd.
Joel McHale? His hair is weird
They went cheap and did repurposed shots of people so I’m posting this SmartWater ad of Idris that’s in the mag instead
Another ad? One featuring Dean Winters as his Mayhem character.
Ryan O’Reilly what are you doing?
“Family Guy”, “American Dad” and “Cleveland Show” creator and singer Seth MacFarlane. He is attractive, but sexy? He looks like Peter Brady.
But I did like the themed segments. They have a segment talking to actors with the O’ in their last name like “Glee”s Mike O’ Malley, Jerry O’Connell who says that his twins pronounce their last name “Opa-Connell”, Jason O’Mara of “Terra Nova” who told of how hotel computers can’t process the apostrophe so he’s never listed and “Hawaii Five-O”s Alex O’Loughlin.

What Brings Out the Dark Side Of..
Ryan Reynolds
“People with attention deficit disorder. I find it incredibly frustra….”
Josh Duhamel
“My wife says I’m in a bad mood when I’m hungry. And setting clocks ahead or behind in the spring and fall. What’s the point? I’m always really early or really late for a good week after any time change.”
Taye Diggs
“Whenever I question what kind of world my 2-year old is growing up in. The economy, the environment, the politics. For his sake I hope we can get it together. That and knowing that I will never, ever, ever dunk a basketball.”
Justin Timberlake
“Traffic, cold eggs, that one guy at the party who has the ‘new app’ and has to show it to everybody, traffic, restaurants that don’t do free refills. And traffic.”
Brad Pitt
“Corporate lobbyists, codependent love songs, dentists with halitosis, teachers with no pay, mortgage scams with no prosecutions, guys trying to shake my hand in the men’s room, suicide bombers, slow internet service, insomnia, anyone praying for my salvation, empty milk cartons left in the fridge, the erroneous drug war, the total cost of life and limb in the name of 9/11, the loss of motorcycle racer no. 58, Marco Simoncelli-my love and respect to the family.
George Clooney
“Questions about being broody and moody-no, just kidding. I’m not so moody.
James McAvoy
“I’ve always thought that I had the perfect hair to play Jim Hawkins from “Treasure Island”, but now that I’m too old to play him I feel that my hair has been wasted! Keeps me awake at night, man.”
Antonio Banderas
“Banality, mediocrity, and the lack of intelligence and sense of humor. But what makes me really grumpy is when I find myself behaving as one of the above.”
~Well, the world did it again. The Twilight SAGA: Breaking Dawn, Part 1-- yes, part one, there is more of this dreck on the horizon-will come in at number one at the box office. The combined domestic and international box office will push the film over 300 million. This proves there is an audience for fidgety, lip-biting, banal actresses and the flat faced, llama looking guys who love her.
But they don’t do this
*The trailer for “Hunger Games” debut last week.
A tale of survival amongst teens , it’s unlike “Twilight” but don’t tell that to Vanity Fair.
“Teens? Young adults? Fuck it, we’re using the same layout as our “Twilight” shoot”
Hunger Games
Twilight
*Speaking of bad movies. Let’s hear it for “The Covenant” starring Taylor Kitsch, Sebastian Stan and Chace Crawford.. It was the male version of “The Craft”. So very bad. I can’t quite say “The Secret Circle” is worse, but I’d enjoy TSC if someone was wearing non-regulations swim trunks like Taylor Kitsch
~A bigger mystery than why “Twilight” is successful is the circumstances surrounding Natalie Wood’s death. The L.A Sheriff’s department has decided to re-open the case of Wood’s 30-year old death and even more murky is the reason why.
The Sheriff Department admitted that they reopened the case due to media scrutiny around the case and that it has nothing to do at all with the upcoming Vanity Fair issue about Hollywood mysteries or that interest that’s been garnered is because of the book the captain of the yacht that night wrote years ago, a book he and Natalie’s sister Lana keep putting out there and inferring that Robert Wagner had something to do with Natalie’s death.
Not that something wasn’t fishy that night. By all accounts RJ and Natalie had an argument, supposedly over her affair with Christopher Walken. If that’s true, that’s just another affair that she had because according to her sister Natalie was unfaithful to Wagner. The theory is that this pushed him over the edge, they argued he either pushed her or physically assaulted her (she had bruises on her arms and legs, but it’s believed she received those by the fall), made her fall and then panicked. The initial story is that when the captain, Dennis Davern went to do his rounds to check the yacht, the dinghy was missing, he assumed she took it out to go for a sail, then when she didn’t’ turn up RJ sent out an alert to the Coast Guard. Then somehow, years later, the story changed with DaVern saying he wanted to alert the Coast Guard and RJ wouldn’t allow him to. Then it was, she went to stop the dinghy from hitting the side of the yacht and fell in.
Davern continues to play both sides of the fence by claiming RJ was involved, but acting as if it’s not doing that it’s being brought up again. He spoke to NBC’s David Gregory a few days ago.
Was the fight between Natalie Wood and her husband Robert Wagner what ultimately led to her death?" show host David Gregory asked.
"Yes," Davern replied.
"How so?"
"Like I said, that's going to be up to the investigators to decide," the captain said after a long pause.
Davern said he believes Wagner had intentionally kept the investigation into Wood's death low profile and didn't do everything he could have done. When Gregory pressed Davern for supporting details, the captain said that was the duty of investigators.
That tells us nothing. So far RJ hasn’t spoken and Walken has lawyered up and released a statement from his people that all he knows is that he went to bed Natalie was alive and when he woke up she was dead.
If it wasn’t the 30-year anniversary of her death I’d look at this with less cynical eyes. Now I’m just side-eyeing everything about this re-opening.
~I leave you with
”Come on, Oliver. Let me get you to your bed.”
“Thank you, Clark. You’re a good friend. Just try not to take advantage of me, eh.”
“Right. Like I’d do that. Who’s more trustworthy than Clark Kent?”
"Clark..."
"You felt feverish, so I'm taking your temperature digitally."
"I don't have a digital thermometer."
"Go back to sleep."
