We interrupt this day’s normal posting fare of guns, political invective and cars etc. to bring you some broken news:
Salma and Penelope in a movie together?
Yes, you got that right:
I was too excited to read the movie’s name, but come on, that happens sometimes.
I feel faint…
Here’s a little Salma Trifecta for you, and they’re all pics taken recently:
That is all.
In the 1960s there were a flock of beautiful women in movies, and lanky Texan Paula Prentiss was one of them.
Best part is that she married, and stayed married to her college boyfriend. Talk about unusual (in Hollywood).
There was some inconsequential awards show [redundancy alert] over the past weekend somewhere, which should be of little interest to anyone, except that there were some decent attendees. Here are three such (Demi Moore, Salma Hayek and Eva Longoria):
“What about close-ups, Kim?”
Oh, why not:
That’s what I would call a proper smorgasbord of fun, right there.
The rest of the attendees were the usual boring crowd, inter alia Oprah, Meryl Streep, some of the Kardashian coven, etc. so we won’t bother with them.
As threatened promised last week, let’s look at some French royalty and their squeezes. Today we’ll look at just one (for reasons that will become apparent): Louis XIV a.k.a. the Sun King. (The numbers in parentheses indicate the number of children he fathered with each.)
Athenaïs de Montespan (7)
Louise de la Valliere (5)
Bonne de Pons d’Heudicourt
Catherine Charlotte de Gramont
Anne de Rohan-Chabot
Claude de Vin (1)
Isabelle de Ludres (1)
Marie Angélique de Scorailles
(she probably would have given him yet another baby, only she died in childbirth)
And those are the ones we know about. Formidable.
