Saturday Fluffernutter: The “I Really Thought It Would Last” Edition
All the fluffy news about those nutty celebrities
Hottie Scarlett Johannson has split from hunky Ryan Reynolds after two years of wedded bliss:
After long and careful consideration on both our parts, we’ve decided to end our marriage.
Wouldn’t it have been better if they had given “long and careful consideration,” before they got married? And wouldn’t it have been more honest if the announcement had said, “We’ve both decided we can’t continue to live with someone prettier than me.” ?
Brother and Sister in TV life, ex-husband and wife off TV. In a marriage that was so creepy for no good reason, Dexter siblings Michael C. Hall and Jennifer Carpenter have split.
They have been, reports indicate, “separated for some time.”
Having missed the last few weeks, here is some stories worth noting:
- Miley Cyrus caught on video smoking from a bong: Hammered Montana: Non-Stop Dank Party
- Wesley Snipes surrenders to authorities to begin his three year prison term for income tax evasion: how the world is better after this Federal Snipe hunt I‘m still not sure.
- Willie Nelson pot bust in Texas: who ever imagined if you cross Hannah Montana with Wesley Snipes, you’d get Willie Nelson?
We used to have a saying in our youthful, less delicate days of yore: wouldn’t f#@& her with your …
From the “perhaps we can just forgo the whole horseman drama and go straight to separating the sinners and the faithful,” department:
If Mariah Carey is pregnant is a sign of the apocalypse, what is Mariah Carey is expecting twins a sign of? Surely not just that the IQ of the Carey/Cannon household will soon approach triple digits?
And hey, who’s that guy with the beard and sandals?
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame has announced it’s 2011 inductees…
Ladies and Gentlemen, the cream of rock and roll music, class of 2011:
- Neil Diamond
- Tom Waits
- Alice Cooper
- Darlene Love
- Dr. John
Leon Russell will also be given the award formerly known as the sideman (now called, boringly, the award for musical excellence).
Alice Cooper is a definite, Dr. John and Tom Waits OK, but in the most liberal definitions of rock and roll, how does Neil Diamond get inducted? And who is Darlene Love? If a music geek like me has never heard of her, should she really be in a hall of fame?
Blake Edwards (1922-2010) – Highlights’ of a life well lived:
Blake Edwards was married to Julie Andrews and was played by John Lithgow on film. He script wrote on Orson Welles infamous The War of the Worlds and created the Peter Gunn series. He had his hand in Victor Victoria, The Party and The Day of Wine and Roses. He is responsible for The Pink Panther series of movies.
For all the above, and so much more that Blake Edwards accomplished, there is still one achievement that, to my mind, is the feather in Edwards career cap. Edwards directed Breakfast at Tiffany’s, one of the best movies ever.
Edwards died this week, with his wife and children by his side, of complications of pneumonia in Santa Monica. He was 88.
