Mark Wahlberg’s movie The Fighter was nominated for all kinds of awards last night, and won a lot of them, so you think he’d be in a good mood. Every time the camera panned over him he seemed pretty crusty. Even when James Franco’s grandma cracked a joke about seeing “Marky Mark” he seemed annoyed with it and I think his wife rolled her eyes. When they were announcing the nominees for best actor and they showed Colin Firth and you could see Mark Wahlberg sitting across the aisle from him and Mark didn’t clap at all! It seemed kinda rude to me. I’m sure at the end of the night you’re sick of clapping for everyone but still, that’s what this is all about isn’t it? Giving recognition to those in your field who have done a great job?

Maybe Mark Wahlberg was pissed that he didn’t get nominated personally.

Stacey: *eye roll* When do these people lose their sense of humar about themselves?  Hello!  You are Marky Mark.  You aren’t too good for the Oscars.  Or to at least pretend that you are excited for others.  And his wife with the constant bitch face.  What is up here?  They are rich, famous, beautiful…why so nasty all the time?

Mark Wahlberg was on Jay Leno yesterday and shared that his 7 year old daughter Ella is now dating:

“She gave a boy in her class my cellphone number. He calls me and says, ‘Hey, Mr. Wahlberg, I’m taking your daughter to the movies.’ I’m like, what? Seven years old! I say at least seven more years. He’s seven too and I’m like, ‘Okay, let me talk to your father.’ So me and the father talk. We take them to the movies. They don’t say a word to each other.”

Wow. Dating at 7 seems kinda young, but at least it’s just going to the movies (with their dads) and not talking and not like, getting drunk behind the elementary.

Stacey: Well, I guess if they are supervising them its not too bad.  I mean, how bad can it be at 7?

Mark Wahlberg on why he quit smoking pot:

“I stopped smoking weed for my kids.  One day, we were driving and you could smell it from somewhere. My daughter asked what the smell was so I told her it was a skunk.  Then she said, ‘Sometimes Daddy smells like that!’ to me and my wife.  So I knew I had quit.”

Love it. That’s totally the kind of thing your kid would say in front of strangers and inadvertently make you look bad.

Stacey: This whole story made me giggle.  Picture the above quote and hear it in Marky Mark’s voice.  See.   Hilarious.

As true evidence of having a daughter, when asked to sing a song in an interview the first thing that comes to Christian Bales’ mind was the Powerpuff Girls song:

What’s up with Bale’s accent? Has he become a New Zealander? (Update: thanks to Megan for pointing out that Christian Bale was born and raised in Wales and that is probably his normal accent. I totally just thought he was American. Whoops!)

Here’s Christian Bale and Mark Wahlberg at the premier of The Fighter and both these men look a little off. Christian Bale looks like he is now a pirate that cleaned himself up for the event (unlike Johnny Depp who looks like he made himself extra pirate-y for the premier of The Tourist) and Mark Wahlberg looks like he can smell Bale’s armpit.

I had a dream about Mark Wahlberg last night. I crawled up into his lap like a kid and we watched TV. Weird, hey?

Stacey: Why do you think that Johnny pirated himself up for the The Tourist premier?  Isn’t it possible that he really is that eccentric?   Its like Helena Boham Carter.  I believe she really is that weird.  And Christian.  Well, if he wants to be a pirate, let him be a pirate.   I just wish he would have worn something besides a track suit jacket.

What did Mark Wahlberg do with the 13″ penis he had in Boogie Nights?

“I used to keep it in my desk drawer. And I’d take it out and slap my friends in the face with it. I don’t keep many things from my movies, but that just seemed to have personal significance.”

If I had a 13″ penis I’d probably slap people in the face with it too.

No, I wouldn’t actually.

Stacey: Please.  Thats all I’d do.

Because everyone one loves Marky Mark, today Mark Wahlberg got a star on the Walk of Fame.

In honour of this momentous occasion let’s watch some vintage Marky Mark workout videos:

Stacey: I hate to rain on your celebration parade, Tanya, but I for one, do not like Mark Wahlberg.  I don’t like his acting, I don’t like his singing or dancing, and I don’t like him.  But I guess is is pretty impressive that someone once only known for his physical assets and once sang Good Vibrations could become an Oscar nominated actor.  So I guess he deserves his star.

Marky Mark expanded his funky bunch on Monday (do the funky bunch puns ever get old? I don’t think so) when his wife Rhea Durham gave birth to their fourth child, a daughter named Margaret Grace. Mark & Rhea now have Ella (6), Michael (4), Brendan (1) and Margaret.

Think they’ll stop at 4?

Stacey: Well, techincally, how many is a “bunch”?  Is it 4?  Is it 5?  And I am sorry, but plaid just doesn’t really say funky, to me.

Stacey & I just completed our “I Smell Smut’s Hottest Guys” list (post start next week!!) and one of the things that came up when choosing our criteria was “current hotness”. Here is the perfect example of what we mean:

Mark Wahlberg is hot. He’s got a great body and a great sense of humor. BUT lately it seems like he leaves “Marky Mark the hot guy” in his gym locker when he’s done his workout and heads out into the real world as “Mark Wahlberg, father and husband”. He’s got his BlackBerry on one hip, a cell phone on the other, a headset and he’s probably got so much on his mind that he is not likely to even notice the hot chick at the grocery store checkout.

Don’t get me wrong, this are all wonderful things for a husband and father to be but they’re just not the things that make us smutsters drool. Mark Wahlberg, though hot in his own right, just doesn’t make the cut for our list.

Stacey: Marky Mark has never been one of my favs.  And this picture is just adding to my dislike.  A head set?  Really?

Mark Wahlberg & Rhea Durham are expecting another baby – a little girl which will round out their children at 2 boys, 2 girls (the current kid count for Mark & Rhea is Ella Rae, 6, Michael, 3 ½ and Brendam Joseph, 13 months).

Will he stop at 4?

“I’m the youngest of nine, and my dad has a few others. No, four is enough,” he said. “We were all raised with a lot of love. But we didn’t get the kind of attention I think that we all needed. My parents had to provide to put food on the table. My mission in life is to raise my kids right. With all the success I’ve had in the world, if I fail at that, my life means nothing.”

Stacey: In comparison to 9, 4 doesn’t seem like that much.  Although, one time I was at the grocery store and I saw this woman who had 4 and she was ginormously pregnant with her 5th.  One was screaming, one smelled of poop and the other two were fighting.  She looked miserable, tired, and disheveled.  I did not envy her.  Although, I am sure children are a total joy and I just caught her on a bad day, right?
