Frickin' Cute!

Last night Kermit and Rowlf got together to sing the Rainbow Connection, probably the best song in the world that does not involve Beyoncé.

But what makes this performance even more special is that this is only the second time that Rowlf has spoken since Jim Henson's death in 1990. Rowlf was Jim's favourite character, and after he died the Muppets cast and crew decided they ought to mute him out of respect (they probably didn't use the words 'mute him'), aside from a small speaking part in Muppets Treasure Island. This is only the second time that Rowlf and Kermit have sang together- the first was during the closing scene of the 1979 Muppet Movie.

Not so fun fact: Jim Henson died of 'sleeping pneumonia'- he felt sick, but "didn't want to worry anyone". Whatta guy.

The Great Dead (because they are dead, but still great)

I honestly believe that Jack Lemmon is my soul mate. Ever since my dad thought it cool to make me watch The Odd Couple at 9, I have been mesmerised by his facial expressions. Honestly. No-one can make a face like that guy.

And what a face.

Jack Lemmon, sadly departed: but I still would.

Quote of the Year

Shirley MacLaine is awesome for lots of reasons (like playing my favourite ever prostitute in Irma La Douce), but after a recent interview Chez Oprah, I love her a little bit more.

During the interview she talked about her, um, 'active intimate life' (which, ps, old people really shouldn't do, ever- but it's Shirley MacLaine so we'll cut her some slack) and said:

"I've had an awful lot of lovers...and a lot of awful lovers"

LOL.

I would like to add something funny in here about how I totally understand where she's coming from etc, but I can't because my life has been nowhere near as interesting as Ms MacLaine's. Ho hum.

The Great Dead (because they are dead, but still great)

Cary Grant (or Archibald Leach, as his mum called him) was born way back in 1904, and passed away in 1986. He secretly worked for British Intelligence during WWII, trying to out Nazis. This mixture of suave, sophistication and bad-ass helps explain why Ian Fleming modeled the James Bond character on Cary Grant.

If you've ever seen (the totally awesome) film Charade with Cary and Audrey Hepburn, you'll know that his looks never faded- he still looked hot at 59.

Cary Grant: your great, and I would.

Inconspicuous...

John Travolta has been spotted out having lunch with Liza Minelli.

Way to go, John. That's an awesome way to clear up those gay rumours. Do you have Cher's number too? Because that would really kill suspicions.

Jokes aside, if John Travolta really is gay (cheers for that, Carrie Fisher) he must be really sad. At least he has Liza.

And isn't he an ageing beaut. Like a fine wine or a two year old Easter egg your sister hid under her bed and forgot to eat, Sean Connery is always a treat.

He definitely got more attractive with age. Funny, that Easter egg turned white as it got older, too...

I would tap Cap'n von Trapp.

Other reasons to love Christopher Plummer are that he has been married since 1970 and he voiced Charles Munz in Up!

He is 82, which is just wrong.

Beating the Monday Blues

Today was, as days go, pretty shitty. Few things could have made this day better, but I found the magic solution. On the way to my local epicerie to indulge in binge-eating materials, I decided to allow my cheesiPod to accompany me on the journey, and behold, the God's of fate arranged for this song to play:



I haven't felt elation like that since I recovered Puffa from a hotel in Amsterdam.

I think my next career venture should be to convince the members of Steps and S Club, and the two remaining girls from B*Witched who are jobless to set up a vocal counselling service. The outfits alone will turn that frown upside down.

You may wonder why I said 'the two remaining girls from B*Witched'. Well, wonder no more:



I like it, but I paid €90 to see Britney Spears wander absent-mindedly around a stage.

I give you- Tom Selleck! He wouldn't be my first choice, but I have heard there is many a young lady with their hearts set on him.

Tom here has just turned 66. Well, if it's good enough for Monica Gellar...

PS- do you see the picture in which he is wearing jeans? Have you looked? My sister has that exact same belt. She accused me of stealing it, but it would seem that Magnum PI has some sticky fingers.

Upon request, I'm going to start uploading pictures of hot men who could be potential grandfathers. Number one is my personal favourite.


Crack that whip, Dr Jones. Not too vigorously, mind, you'll do your hip in.
