Romance Cheese Friday

Today's romance novel exerpt comes from A Vision of Splendor (and appropriate for the Fourth of July weekend):

She felt her heart explode and thump like fireworks surging throughout her body. Now with all the expectation swirling around them, sparking into unbelievable bursts, heating up their bodies with its sizzle and pop. Making them both burn and explode as their mouths discovered each other.

Ouch. Never has a kissed been described so painfully. I hope they're wearing hazmat suits.

Have a great holiday weekend!

This Proves My Point

Heather Locklear with David Spade...
Jessica Simpson with Dane Cook...
and remember when Jim Carrey and Lauren Holly were dating?
Or when Bobcat Goldthwait was engaged to Nikki Cox (she's now dating Jay Mohr)?

This proves what I've been saying for a loooong time: the number one turn-on for girls is a great sense of humor.

...And the number one turn-on for guys is a super-hot girl.

Star(bucks) Sighting of the Day

Clea DuVall
She predominantly plays the hardcore, Ali-Sheedy-in-Breakfast-Club, outcast type of character, like in The Faculty or The Grudge.

I spotted her this morning exiting Starbucks in Studio City, wearing no makeup.

Mee-Yow Thursday

Sophia Loren did not get along with Marlon Brando on the set of The Countess of Hong Kong (1966), especially after the day they were doing a love scene and Brando asked "Did you know you have hairs up your nostrils?"

Desperately Seeking Praise!

My *cough cough* small rant called WTF is Wrong With Barbie (parts 1 & 2) was featured in an article on BlogHer called "Desperately Seeking Barbie." I can't tell if it was used to agree or disagree with the writer (you make the call), but I'm proud to be used either way!

Star Sighting of the Day

William R. Moses
You may know him from "Perry Mason," you may know him from the "Jane Doe" movies on the Hallmark Channel, or you may not know him at all... but I spotted him eating lunch with a young girl (daughter?) at Jerry's Deli in Studio City today.

Had a great chicken salad sammich there, bee tee dub.

From Cute Kitties to a Scary Dog...

Aw..wook at da cute widdow kitties...

Tuesday's This & That (Mini-Rant)

I was up watching ABC's dating flop "How to Get the Guy" (not to be confused with our sister blog how to get the guy).The worst part of the show is...well, the whole thing. Case in point. Last night one of the "dating coaches" JD (who is not a love doctor, but just an actor slash show host who's one good credit is that he's a self-described "serial monogomist") says:

A date without a kiss is just an appointment.

So all those dates I thought I was on were nothing but appointments. Huh. Puts a bit of pressure on things, doesn't it?

And then in the next turn, they explained that you don't have to kiss on the first date for it to be a success. So riddle me this, Batman. If I have a successful first date even if we don't kiss, is it not a date, but just an appointment?

Okay now I've confused myself. Is anyone buying this drivel?

The Errol Flynn Marina

The Jamaica Observer reports:

The marina at Port Antonio will now be known as the Errol Flynn Marina, a move its owners hope will help to brand the facility among its intended clientele - high-income luxury yacht owners.

What? The port being in Jamaica wasn't enough?? Oh wait, they want high-income people, not drunk college kids on Spring Break.
