Charlton Heston Lays Down His Guns, For Good

I'm no great fan of Charlton Heston's. I've never seen Planet of the Apes, and I don't own a gun, so there's really never been anything for me to get all fanned up about, with the possible exception of his portrayal of Moses, which, when you think about it, wasn't all that great anyway, what with his overt WASPiness and the lame special effects and all. Still, his death is a sad thing. He was someone's dad, and someone's grandpa, and I'm sure that his family doesn't give two hoots about whether Grampy was a tad too enthusiastic about the guns.

So, RIP Mr. Heston. Godspeed to Heaven and all.

Thank God for Helena Bonham Carter. She is one of the last great English eccentrics. If it weren't for her, seen here strolling down the street in yet another jaw dropping combo (I particularly love the stripey leg warmerish things, so fab) the world would be dull and boring.

I mean how many times can we wax ecstatic over Halle Berry fabulous dresses? Xtina and her flawless makeup? And don't even get me started on the perfect Jennifer Garner, who granted isn't pregnant right now, but will be sooner or later. And when she is knocked up, Jenn will look better on her worst day than most of us on our best.

But Helena, she wears big crazy hair and a sweet smile and her cat sitter's coat to go grab some marmite, and she seems a lot more real than any of them. Even Miss Perfect Garner.

Besides her well known liaison with Kenneth Branagh, she made Tim Burton fall in love with her when she played an ape. Or an Ape, rather. Befor that she dated Rufus Sewell and Steve Martin. Probably not at the same time, but maybe she did. The woman has some kind of crazy magic, and it works for me.

That's all I got.
