Nothing to do with Bridget Jones! Not trying to be like her (v.v. happy with my weight, thanks) not related to her (or Hugh Grant ...shudder) never read the book, haven't seen the movie ....... not going to read the book, not going to see the movie...

Oh, speaking of Hugh ("oh..um..er..sorry")Grant, isn't it amazing how he has made a career virtually playing the same character in movie after movie? Hmmmm. And Jennifer Anniston is kind of like the female Hugh Grant isn't she? Done the same thing.

What they need to do is an ugly movie each. Whack on the ol' prosthetic nose, pop in the interestingly-arranged false teeth, and spit a lot when they speak their lines. Now THAT'S how you earn validity in Hollywood!

Now in Bollywood it's the complete opposite isn't it? No whining to be "taken seriously as an artist" by the glitterati there. (Wow! Just had a thought - how long would an Indian 'movie marathon' go for?!) And they are pretty prolific, apparently, churning out way more movies a year than the Americans. There is an Australian game show hostess cum actress who has made it very big in Bollywood. Maybe Hugh and Jen should look her up!

Ahh fame. Why is our culture so obsessed with it? 15 minutes of fame. Famous in your own lunch time. Etc Etc. And is notoriety as good as fame? ( Don't think you necessarily get paid as well. ) Is it because of the American obsession with being 'successful/popular and not a 'loser'? (That ticks me off, it's rampant through the schools here now.) I dunno. But it is insidious. I don't like it. It's not good. It's twisting society. It's shallow. Wrong, I say,wrong.

But somehow........... some how ..... .....................


I STILL WANNA FAN-CLUB !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
