Ashton & Judi, Sittin’ In A Tree
I saw “Just Married” last night. It’s not a very good movie but I liked it much more than I should have, mainly because of Ashton Kutcher and Brittany Murphy. I think they are both quite personable and they’re usually much more interesting to watch than the movies they’re in.
I honestly wasn’t going to go see the movie because it hasn’t been getting very good reviews (surprise!), but I was watching E! Entertainment Television®’s “Rank: 25 Sexiest Women” the other night and in between the segments they would ask various celebrities who they found sexy. Ashton Kutcher was one of the people they interviewed and the first on his list was Dame Judi Dench.
I couldn’t agree more. Yes, she’s old enough to be my mother (and his grandmother), but I think she’s one of the sexiest women on the face of the earth (my wife excepted, of course) and anyone who has the good taste to find Judi Dench sexy is OK in my book. So the deciding factor in my going to see a movie that I knew was going to be bad was that the star and I share an affinity for a Dame who is 30/40 years our senior.
I think I may need to reexamine the logic underlying my moviegoing habits…

Amen, my brother! Both to the sexiness of Judi, and to the reexamination of your movie choice criteria.

I once tried to duplicate Lady Dench’s pixie-ish charm and snap by cutting my hair into a very short, spiky crop. Imagine my dismay when I looked in the mirror the next morning and realized that I looked, not like Judy Dench, but like John F. Kennedy Jr. with a hangover. When it grew out, I just looked like Shelly Winters, who had a permanent hangover. And now that it’s longer, if I pull it back when it and my eyebrows are wet, I look like David Gest. I’m thinking of doing research on the symptoms and causes of body dysmorphic disorder…
And dan, weren’t you in line with grettir when the cross-dressers passed through the lobby…?

I have a theory about Ashton Kutcher. He knows the public would freak the proverbial noodle if he leapt straight from Brittany Murphy’s arms to Judi Dench’s. So he’s working his way toward Judi by progressively dating older and older women—an attempt to assuage the inevitable public outcry. Demi is 40. She will be followed by one or two postmenopausal girlfriends in their early 50’s, who will then be followed by Judi Dench. Demi is merely the first of several stepping stones.
I’m interested in who could be next. I was thinking perhaps Rue McClanahan, but then I realized I was envisioning Rue from her “Love Boat”/slightly pre-“Golden Girls” days. Any other predictions?

Helen Gurley Brown. After her, Judy would look like a fresh, nubile ingenue…
