The answer to today's More's Mystery: Alec Baldwin, who in 2000, promised all of us that if George Bush was elected, he would leave the country. That sounded like a win-win to me. In fact, I would've paid for the airline ticket to get him out of here. Sure enough, Bush got elected and Baldwin just never referred to his promise again. He's not a bad actor, but aside from that, I think the guy is a moron. WHAT WAS KIM BASINGER THINKING??!I know it doesn't show, but I don't have much respect for Alec Baldwin. However, I DO have an enormous amount of respect for Sir Anthony Hopkins, who is definitely in the top 5 on my list of all-time favorite actors. That's why I was astounded that he agreed to do the movie "The Edge" with Baldwin. Not that I thought he shouldn't work with him. It's just that the movie is AWFUL. In fact, it's one of those movies so bad, it's hysterical.
If you've not seen it, check it out. I watch it every time it's on and laugh my butt off every time. I suggest you have a few drinks before you watch it. In fact, better yet, if you want to make a drinking thing out of it, have a shot every time Baldwin says, "Charles".My thanks to Debra Joseph, Director of the Fredericksburg SPCA, for stopping by the show this morning, as she does every Friday.
Happy Birthday to the lovely Kim Cattrall of Sex & The City fame. She is 53 today. I was never able to get into the whole Sex & The City thing. It's pretty much a chick thing. My wife, Rae, is obsessed with it. Because of her, I've watch it a few times. I don't really get it. The only thing I did notice is that one the four women on the show has an unusually long neck.
Finally, Happy Birthday to Kenny Rogers. He's 71 today, but don't spread it around. Kenny is very tight-lipped about it.
In fact, these days, Kenny is very tight-FACED period.
