Salma Hayek and the Lack of Judgment

Lately, it seems as if Salma Hayek has lost her touch.

Until her trip to the Sierra Leone, she seemed to be slowly and surely building her career, culminating in her recent success bringing telenovela Ugly Betty to American television and her work providing products and services to mothers in developing countries. But her stint as a wet nurse ignited controversy.

And now she has made one of the biggest mistakes a person can make: she got married on Valentine’s Day. How tacky. And this is the kiss of death for a marriage. The only thing worse is getting each other’s named tatooed. (Don’t believe me about the tatoos? Ask Angeline Jolie, Heather Locklear, Charlie Sheen, Paris Hilton, and Halle Berry.)

What do you think of our lady Salma these days? Think she was silly in getting married on Saturday? Think the brouhaha over her breast feeding incident was much ado about nothing?

Boring

Pop culture is boring right now. Yeah, Heather Locklear got arrested, and yeah Kanye West and Shia LaBeouf got off scot-free, and yeah Meg Ryan called Dennis Quaid a cheater. And I can’t really be curmudgeonly about the dudes who almost died in the plane crash–that would just be mean.

So, I’ve been reading. A friend turned me on to the Black Dagger Brotherhood books, and I’m loving them. They are paranormal romances, so they are full of angst and sex. I like them better than the Twilight books, mainly because the characters are adults. Teen angst is fun, and the Twilight books are an enjoyable read. But, grown-up angst and hot sex scenes are even better. I man, come on, who didn’t prefer Valley of Horses over Clan of the Cave Bear simply because of the sex? Clan was a better story, but Valley introduced sex that was pleasurable for women. And we Cro-Magnon gals need pleasurable sex. Those Neanderthal women just didn’t know what they were missing when they blindly complied with “the gesture.” (What is Jean Auel up to these days? Does she still write books about Ayla?)

There has been talk of making a movie out of the Black Dagger Brotherhood books. I would watch that, as long as they get the right men for the parts. I know that Stephenie Meyer says she is all in support of the kid they cast as Edward, but he is not attractive enough for my interpretation of Edward. We need some really hot guys for BDB. Danny Trejo comes to mind for Zsadist. He has the look and the ability to convey a strong sense of menace, and like Benicio Del Toro (who is mad sexy even though he is not the most conventionally attractive guy), he looks like he might know how to handle himself in the boudoir. Any other thoughts?
