Hollywood Birds – The Actors (Photo credit: DonnaGrayson)
A director is screen testing Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger for a new film about classical composers. Knowing how big stars are divas, he asks Sly who he would like to play.
Stallone says, “I like Mozart. I want to be Mozart.”
The director says, “Very well, you can be Mozart.” Then he turns to Arnie and says, “Arnie, who would you like to play?”
This email was in my inbox this morning. I didn’t bother opening it: I didn’t want to lose the mystery of what it might be: a request from Donald Trump, perhaps?
Is that real hair? Does anybody know? With all of his money, he could afford a better rug, a full hair transplant or even a new hairdresser.
Words are funny, the way they conjure images. ‘Hippopotami’ always makes me laugh, though they’re nasty creatures who kill more people than lions do. An animal that round and ugly has no business being grumpy…oh, wait…
I was sad to discover that about hippopotami; almost as sad as when I discovered cheese & onion crisps are not considered one of the major food groups.
Lord Goldsmith once said, ‘A man who marries his mistress creates a vacancy.’ What a jerk. I wonder if he and Arnold Schwarzenegger know each other?
Arnold Schwarzennegger…now there’s a man who ought to be given a Brazilian by the cheated wives of America…I’ll be waxed.
Sony, intimidated by my threat to mobilise the world, have fixed the problem. Or, to be strictly accurate, the PS3 has fixed the problem itself. Just what we need: intelligent computers. A few tiny steps from sentience and then we’ll have Arnold Schwarzenneggers all over the place.
Let me terminate this topic by telling you that Spud is at this very moment catching up on last night’s playing; I can hear him muttering parent-approved swear words under his breath (blast/fart/crap). He reminds me of his father, who would come home from work in the early days of our marriage and play games on his monochrome screened, 20 megabyte hard driven computer, and scream the foulest language at it. When I asked him why he played them when they had such a deleterious effect on his mood, he replied, ‘Because it relaxes me,’ proving that even back in the Eighties computers were already smarter than some people.
I am a little fat. I like food; what can I say? I have dull hair: mousey. I don’t wear much make-up and have no need of a dressing table. If I look like a bag lady, I chose my own clothes. If I look nice, the Hub picked them for me. Despite all this, I am a little vain. This photograph is from 2003. I had to go back that far to find one of me that I liked. But I don’t really care: my husband still thinks I’m beautiful and if he doesn’t, he loves me enough to lie about it. I’m lucky. I have two boys. They never lie to me. Still, you can't have everything.
I have the funniest readers in the blogosphere (not necessarily ha ha…)
