Greetings, darlings! Let's sing some Shers..after all, I don't know WHO this "carol" person is and why we sing HER Carols..... For example, how about a Sher version of "Winter Wonderland": Gossip rings, are you listening....in these lines, satire is blistering...
OkokokOK, so “blistering” and “listening” don't exactly rhyme but you get the idea. No? Where let me spell it out for you, sweeties:
I-T I-S T-I-M-E T-O D-I-S-H!
Here’s a new take on ghosts of Christmas’ past, or at least faces past. A London ad agency is using super cool computer technology to create amazingly fun ads for the Aviva Life Insurance Company that show celebrities realistically interacting with – get this – their younger selves. One shows a 20 year younger Bruce Willis as he looked in “Die Hard” in l988, driving like a maniac while the 2008 older Bruce is terrified at the “ youngun’s” lack of good sense. Others appearing with their younger selves via computer magic in the ad campaign will include Ringo Starr, Elle Macpherson, and Alice Cooper.
Quick takes:
*Bill Murray was just spotted flirting outrageously with a young waitress a Lugo Caffe after Neil Young’s recent concert in New York ( and for some reason I keep hearing Neil’s nasal twang in what’s left of my mind singing “ Old man take a look at yourself...”).
*Madonna made a you-know-what load of money on her about-to-end world tour but did people come for the raunchy, flashy show or the music? I’d say the show. Her latest single has become her worst-performing release ever in her 24-year career. The song is supposedly about her relationship with Guy Ritchie, which one lyric spewing: "I guess we're at our best when we're miles away." And no one is particularly ..yawn.. interested. Especially Guy who is looking happy and relaxed and hanging out with Hugh Grant’s ex, Jemima Khan, in London.
* Ellen Degeneres and Portia de Rossi looked pretty darn cute shopping together recently. And it just occurred to moi that they both have last names with a “de” in them... hmmmmm.. I have no idea what significance that might have but it gives me an opportunity to write hmmmmm.... Ellen has been dropping weight like crazy, I hear, after she decided to go vegan. hmmmmm
From the He’s Adorable But The Flick Stinks department: I’m a huge Will Smith fan. I think he has what the old Hollywood stars had – good looks, charm, class and talent. But... well, the truth is that every single person I know who’s caught a peek at his new movie “Seven Pounds” are lost for words. Not because it is so great but because they have rarely seen such a stinkeroo. Lou Lumenick at the New York Post called it a "preposterous... melodrama with an absurd plot."
On the other hand, sweeties, I have had a certain loathing for Mickey Rourke for years.. he was once a tough guy cutie but what on earth happened??? The tales of abusive behavior, the hideous plastic surgery , the – worst of all – BAAAAAAD hair. In fact, he has what can only be called are very strong EWWWWWWWWWW! factor.
But, lo and behold,will wonders never cease: all I hear is that his new comeback movie “ The Wrestler” is beyond brilliant, heartbreaking and some are even hailing it as the kind of classic that will be appreciated for decades.
"Being out of work for 13 to 15 years is no walk in the park... This is a second chance for me. It's my last chance; I just wanted to bring it," Rourke ( who still has BAAAAAD hair even if his career is no longer on the skids) told Peter Travers in an ABC “Popcorn” interview. "That's the only way I can work for the rest of my career."
The formerly washed-up aging actor who left the silver screen to take up an ill-fated boxing career plays Randy "The Ram" Robinson, a washed-up aging wrestler, in the Darren Aronofsky-directed drama, slated to open in select theaters around the country the day after Christmas.
Reviewers are in a lather about not only Rourke’s performance, but that of Marisa Tomei who plays an aging stripper who falls for The Ram. ( By the way, you did NOT hear it from me but those nipple rings she wears were clampy thingies, not really piercings – OUCH! It hurts to think about that – and glued on with fake eyelash glue. Or something... Do they MAKE fake nipple pierced ring glue??? I betcha they sell it on Ebay. Or Home Shopping Network. Or will..)
That’s it for this edition .. You want more more? Of COURSE, you do.. So get your cute self over to Sher’s Gossip Au Go Go view link if you haven’t already and let’s chat. Now go have a cool yule and do something so BOOMerific people smile and sigh, “ I haven’t seen anyone with such holiday spirit in eons!”
