Breakfast at Tiffany's – Because I Do Not Know

Random Post-Holiday Monday

I won't even attempt to make rhyme nor reason of this post. Here's just some stuff I found interesting on this day-after-Christmas ...

You don't know his name, but you do know his face. Droopy-eyed character actor Vincent Schiavelli has died at age 57. Most people of my generation will remember him as Mr. Vargas, the science teacher in "Fast Times at Ridgemont High." Interesting media observation: Although Schiavelli died of lung cancer, there's no reference to whether he was a smoker. (You'll recall past conversations about this on BaT.) Could it be because this obituary was written out of the AP's Rome bureau?

An-na, An-na, An-na, An-na Ni-cole! The Bush Administration is siding with Anna Nicole Smith in her 10-year fight to cash in on her one-year marriage to an 89-year-old oil tycoon. Just wondering ... if she loved him so much (she was a 26-year-old stripper in Houston at the time), why didn't she take his last name as a sign of love and devotion. Could it be that she is simply too dumb to remember any name but Smith?

If completing 75-yard touchdown passes or sacking the quarterback isn't enough for you video-gamers out there, you can now experience the "real" world of professional football by instructing your animated, gangster-wannabe self to gamble and shoot steroids in "Blitz: The League." In the expansion pack, you'll also be able to beat up your baby's mama, be charged with rape and cry as you become a prison bitch for a real street-thug.

I'm only guessing here, but it should be only a matter of days before a fatwa is issued against this woman. Wafah Dufour, who's father is Osama bin Laden's half-brother, appears in GQ magazine, shows a lot of skin and rejects her infamous uncle -- all while pleading for Americans to accept her. Frankly, I've never heard of her, and considering he has 53 brothers and sisters, ol' Osama probably doesn't know her, either. Well, you know, if he was still alive.

Brad Renfro is a sad, sad case. Busted on Skid Row trying to buy heroin just a couple of days before Christmas. They say a picture is worth a thousand words. Well, this one from the L.A. Times is worth about a million. Let the countdown to his public overdose begin.

In a plot to delay my champagne-popping and some old people's bedtimes, scientists are holding 2006 back by a second. The so-called "leap second" will allow the atomic clocks to adjust to changes in the Earth's rotation. Well, I don't care. At 11:59:59, I'm unleashing the cork regardless!

(That is, unless I'm already asleep. Then I don't care.)

Jake, I think you are being way too cynical. Anna Nicole totally loved Howard Marshall, it was just a lucky coincidence that he happened to be a billionaire.
