Sad Mel Gibson Wondering if He Picked the Wrong Oksana

A lot of people have been comparing Mel's wife to Heather Mills, which is ridiculous. She's been his partner for nearly 30 years, and if she gets half of his billion bucks ... oh, the poor lad, he'll have to get though life with only a half billion. My heart goes out to him as I build a cooking bonfire and debate with myself whether beans would taste OK if re-re-fried.

No idea who she is, but she looks great naked ...

Catfight: with famous chicks, and FISTS

Lindsay Lohan & Samantha Ronson New Year's Eve Fist Fight

"Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson have been waging a very public war over the past few evenings. Tuesday night, according to Page Six, the couple engaged in a very nasty display while partying at Set in Miami with family in tow. Then on New Year’s Eve, it got even worse. The two were supposed to be hosting a party at Mansion. Words were exchanged and before you can say cat flight, the two were out in the alley amid the trashcans and street people, having a fist fight. The fight didn’t end there. They continued to go at it when they got back to their hotel room, apparently spilling out into the hallway where other hotel guests stood in stunned amazement. Hotel security finally intervened, breaking up the fight and photographing their trashed room."

Happy 90th, J.D, Salinger

Today is the 90th birthday of the famed literary recluse.

"A smaller writer would surely have exhausted the patience of his fans long ago. Salinger has not published anything since 1965. That was Hapworth 16, 1924, which took up most of an issue of The New Yorker. That said, a plan has been in the offing for more than 10 years to have it republished as a book. It will finally be released this month. Or that, at least, is what it says on the Amazon.com website."

Frankly, Salinger exhausted my patience with the crap he DID publish after "Nine Stories." As far as I can see, his entire reputation rests on Catcher in the Rye (1951) and a collection of short stories (published together in book form in 1953). His later novellas, if published under a different name, would not have earned a great literary reputation. They might not even have earned an A in an undergraduate course in creative writing. I'm not surprised that he stopped writing. He probably just realized that he didn't have anything worthwhile to offer. I'd have done the same in his shoes.


As for "Catcher" itself, I wonder if it still resonates with kids today, or if it seems like a quaint work that they read only because it appears on their required reading list, similar to the way my generation viewed Arrowsmith when we were in prep school.
