I think the PR people of Hollywood must have all quit. Or else the people who really need them just can’t afford to keep them anymore. Here’s some nice gems from Mickey Rourke on his latest movies (it starts off with him talking about 50 Cent who was hosting the party he was at):

You guys are in a movie together, right?
A really bad movie, yeah.
What?! Is it out?
No, it’s so bad it can’t get out.
Tell me why you made it.
For the money.
But you think the movie’s bad.
Terrible.
Why?
You have to watch it.
What about your movie with Megan Fox and Bill Murray?
Terrible. Another terrible movie. But, you know, in your career and all the movies you make, you’re going to make dozens of terrible ones.
You called Megan Fox, like, one of the best actresses of all time.
That I worked with [smirk].
That movie’s getting limited release.
That’s because it’s not very good.

It’s honest, but it’s also not a good way to get more jobs in the future.

And that outfit is not a good way to do anything at anytime.

Stacey: What are you talking about?  Mickey Rourke in spandex = dream come true

Ummm, question.  Didn’t Megan get a tattoo in honor of Mickey and then it seems like he is kind of slamming her here?  Awkward!

This is amusing. Some magazine (I think it was OK! but I grabbed this list from I’m Not Obsessed) did a poll on who the most and least desirable celebrity spouses are and this is what they came up with:

Least Desirable Celebrity Husband:

1: Charlie Sheen
2: Mel Gibson
3: Tom Cruise
4: Mickey Rourke
5: Pete Doherty
6: Marilyn Manson
7: David Hasselhoff
8: Ricky Gervais
9: Chris Moyles
10: Wayne Rooney

Least Desirable Celebrity Wife:

1: Amy Winehouse
2: Lindsay Lohan
3: Britney Spears
4: Heather Mills
5: Gwyneth Paltrow
6: Katie Holmes
7: Lady Gaga
8: Madonna
9: Nicole Kidman
10: Sarah Jessica Parker

Most Desirable Celebrity Wife:

1: Natalie Portman
2: Megan Fox
3: Katy Perry
4: Kate Moss
5: Gisele Bundchen
6: Cheryl Cole
7: Christina Hendricks
8: Rihanna
9: Kim Kardashian
10: Kate Middleton

Most Desirable Celebrity Husband:

1: Prince Harry
2: Justin Bieber
3: Robert Pattinson
4: David Beckham
5: Russell Brand
6: Colin Firth
7: Prince William
8: George Clooney
9: Piers Morgan
10: Brad Pitt

I agree with most of the “Least Desirable” spouses list but the “Most Desirable” ones are a bit off. Kate Moss & Gisele Bundchen?? Kate Moss is about as desirable and Pete Doherty and Gisele Bundchen sounds like she takes away your balls once she gets the ring.  As for the men, well, we see the problems right off the bat: Prince Harry and Justin Bieber. Bieber’s balls haven’t dropped yet and Prince Harry would probably be one of those “you’re probably going to see something in the tabloids that looks really bad, but it totally isn’t what it looks like” kinda guys. He’d be fun to date, but I’d say not a desirable husband.

Stacey: Clearly this poll came from somewhere overseas and was filled out by Brits and 12 year olds.  Because people like Kate Moss and Cheryl Cole would not even hit the radar over here.  Ok, Russell Brand over Brad Pitt?  That just doesn’t seem right.

From Mickey Rourke’s Twitter:

58 years ago today I tumbled from my mother’s womb with a cigarette in my mouth and a chihuahua puppy under each arm. I never looked back.

Stacey: I love that he is totally aware of his own idiosyncrasies.

I almost didn’t recognize him, but Mickey Rourke decided, for whatever reason, to cut his long, mangy locks.  And it looks so much better!  Hooray Mickey.

Although, it looks like someone needs to tell Mickey he has been shopping in the little boys section of the clothing department.  That shirt is far too small.

Tanya: Maybe he was just shopping in the Douche section because that would also explain the boots.

Hahahahah, OK. Not really

Megan Fox and Mickey Rourke are filming a new movie called Passion Play and this is them on set. Now most people end up getting “linked” to their costar at some point (case in point) but this one I don’t know. It’s a bit too out there. On the one hand, there’s a huge age difference and he’s kinda past his prime. But on the other hand, this IS Mickey Rourke & Megan Fox. Mickey’s been known to hook up with the younger ladies and Megan, well, Megan’s created her own reputation so I’m going to call it and say that these two will be “romantically linked” according to at least 1 supermarket tabloid.

Stacey: They would be the perfect couple.  Beauty and The Beast.  Too obvious a joke?  I’m sorry.

So picture this: you’re a washed up actor who gets offered a role of a washed up wrestler. You take it & it turns out to be a real hit. You make some money, meet some girls, the drugs & praise start flowing again and you realize just how much you missed it. But then the buzz of the film wears off and people stop caring about you again. What do you do to get photographers attention?

Dress like an idiot.

A textbook move. Well played Mickey Rourke, well played.

From these pcitures I can only assume that Mickey and this rose have had a long standing love affair and he is ready to share it with the world by giving it passionate oral pleasure for all the paparazzi cameras to see.

That or Mickey was very hungry after a long hike and the only thing he had to eat was the foliage of the forest.

What ever is going on, I am going to have to ask Mickey to step away from the rose…and those gosh awful jade and gold rings…it would be best for everyone.

Tanya: Speaking of attention whores…

Mickey & his 20yr old model girlfriend Cheyenne Tozzi

If you were a young, hot model would you date Mickey Rourke?

No?

What if you were an fat old maid with no prospects for love?

Still no?

Yeah. Me neither.

Stacey: No thanks.  Not in a million years.

Ok, Miss Comic Book Geek (psst, Tanya.  That’s you!).  This is the cover of Entertainment Weekly featuring Robert Downey Jr, Scarlett Johansson and Mickey Rourke.  Thoughts?  Are you excited for the second one?

Me, I thought the first one was good but people around me built it up too much.  They said it was better than Batman.  Sorry people, but nothing is better than Batman.

I am not familiar enough with the story line to know what to expect next or how the characters should be played.  I have been told by another very reliable comic book geek (Psst, Nate.  That’s you!) that RDJ played Tony Stark to a T.

Tanya: I’m not very familiar with Ironman either. I didn’t even know about it until the last movie. Which I expected to be awful (it’s RDJ). But it was good and RDJ really came back strong with it. He did great, I really liked Pepper Potts, and the storyline itself was interesting.

Expectations for Ironman 2 = 0. It’ll be a renter.

Ok, Mickey Rourke is either colour blind or on some serious drugs. I don’t know how else to explain this outfit. Do you think he dresses himself or has someone work on his wardrobe?

And the hair. Extensions? Greyextenstions? Or a bad ashy bleach job? Maybe it’s just the lighting…

By the by, Celebitchy has a really great post on Mickey talking women, his granny, the casting couch, and more.

Stacey: There is something about Mickey that I find incredibly interesting.  And this outfit just adds to it.  Is it planned?  I mean, no one else is wearing this outfit so he will for sure stand out.  Is it by accident?  If so, the color blind theory might be dead on?  Or maybe he has no fashion sense at all.  Either way, we are talking about it…and I guess that would be the point.
