one interesting tidbit
of my time in Rome
was when I stepped out in front of my swank hotel
to find out the IRON MAN was having its big premiere 10 feet away
yep Robert Downey Junior, Gwyneth Paltrow, the whole shebang
never saw either of them although Maurisio caught an eyefull of Gwyneth
to tell you the truth I never liked her
she's always been just well too white bread for my nerves
brad pitt bought her a house in my old hood in the west village
and i thought
hello brad!
ditch the uptight blonde for a hot down and dirty mama
and hmm i guess he did
oh angelina,oh oh angelina- hot to trot but lately too skinny
honey start eating again we love meat on your bones!
the west village has truly turned into hollywood on the hudson
with meryl streep, jodie foster, sarah jessica parker, matthew broderick
and many more moving in
but i high taled it for the east village where there was still a pulse
all the life seemed to be pushed out of the west village
leaving only madison avenue designers and the uber wealthy
sad
i miss the days of aging beatnik poets sitting on the stoops
and artist's spending an entire afternoon at the patisserie lansiani
sipping coffee and pondering life
but i digress
IRON MAN
havent seen it yet
but i will
because first of all
when it comes to movies
i have the taste of a 16 year old boy
secondly i love
robert downey junior
oh maybe its the drugs
the rehab
the jail
the drama
i just love me the bad boys
bad girls too
anyway
what was most interesting about the premiere
was watching the paparazzi
a solid wall of them
climbing on top of each other to get a better shot
i mean literally climbing on top of each other
recently id been in a pet store watching hamsters climb on top of each other to get at the spin wheel
and this felt a lot like that
they didnt even seem human
crazed sharks in a feeding frenzy
it must be frightening to be their target
i don't know it seemed more intense then in america
do you think it is
