Damn, These Priests Are Kinda Hot

This is probably going to get me a first-class ticket to Hell, but the priests featured in the 2008 Calendario Romano are hot. Well some of them are, anyway. According to the publicity handout for the Italian calendar, "Aimed at promoting tourism in the Italian capital, this striking calendar offers portraits of its priests against the backdrops of the Eternal City's most beautiful cathedrals."



I am simultaneously thinking of Samantha's Friar Fuck fetish in Sex and the City and Richard Chamberlain as Father Ralph in The Thornbirds.

If only there was a calendar of hot rabbis...

OK, you can stop snickering now.

Vivienne Westwood vs. Patricia Field: Battle of the Scary Redheads

This could get ugly (if it isn't already).

Vivienne Westwood went to the premiere of the Sex and the City movie and walked out after 10 minutes, claiming that the fashion (by costume designer Patricia Field) was "quite dull."

She reportedly said: "'I thought Sex and the City was supposed to be about cutting-edge fashion and there was nothing remotely memorable or interesting about what I saw. I went to the premiere and left after 10 minutes."


I think she might have a point...

Kim Cattrall: I Did It For The Money

You've got to admire Kim Cattrall's honesty; the Sydney Daily Telegraph is reporting that Kim only did the Sex and the City movie for the multimillion-dollar payoff.

"Samantha's very near and dear to me and I had such a wonderful time [making the TV series] but I can't really ask more of that experience other than more financial security, because I feel like we did it and we did it so well,'' the 51-year-old actor told a British newspaper. "And I always felt that it was about the money.''

Sarah Jessica Parker's Not Unsexy Anymore

So Sarah Jessica Parker was asked by the New York Daily News what she thought of the new blowup sex doll made of her. Proving that pithy Carrie Bradshaw was a feat of real acting, SJP had nothing alliterative to say, responding rather haughtily that to comment on it was "beneath you and I both."

Some would call it classy, I call it... kinda lame, actually.

About a month ago she was lamenting loudly in the British press that being named Maxim magazine's unsexiest woman alive last year "hurt so much," adding that "it hurt [her husband Matthew Broderick] because it has to do with his judgment, too."

So she'll complain about being thought of as unsexy, but won't even smile about the fact that an adult toy company thinks she's extremely desirable (and reasonably priced at just $19.95).

Lighten up, lady.

That's the problem with some American women. They're too uptight like Charlotte (and Carrie) and not enough like Samantha.

I bet Kim Cattrall would be shouting it from rooftops if she was immortalized as an inflatable doll.

And so would I.
