Helen Mirren apparently went commando at the Oscars... now that's class. Despite certain American pop icons like J-Lo and Jessica Simpson showing up on TV with dresses with necklines that plunge to their abdomen and leave them practically topless, a 61-year old British actress in a tasteful dress just showed them how to get into the tabloids. I'm always amused by the old guard of British actresses still towering over the film world like voracious tyrannosaurs because whenever their names come up, it's not long before somebody mentions that sex scene with Malcom MacDowell, Theresa Ann Savoy, and Helen Mirren that's intercut with explicit girl on girl action in Caligula, or for Dame Judi Dench, appearing in A Midsummer Night's Dream in nothing but green body paint. Seriously, ask a question in a film forum about Shakespeare in Love, within six posts you'll get “Mmmmm... naked green Judi Dench.”
Also this week, Arsenal's Abou Diaby (who really has a fantastic name) kicked England Captain John Terry in the head during the League Cup final. The thing that's funny about that the player who came away injured from that clash is Abou Diaby hurt his foot on the pile of rocks that serves John Terry as a thinking machine. Chelsea's first team did carry the day against the youth and reserves team Arsenal plays in the Mickey Mouse Cup, in a typical pyrrhic Chelski victory. I would think Roman Abramovich would be more embarrassed than pleased at seeing his champagne and caviar team have to come from behind after a 17-year old kid scored on them, before getting into a brawl with a bunch of teenagers. We do have people like this in America... we call them the Indiana Pacers. Now if only Didier Drogba would follow in the footsteps of Ron Artest and take some time off during the season to promote his rap album, I'd be all set.
