The Shocker!

Hollywood is a place where anything can happen. Most people learn this the hard way AFTER they get herpes from a casting couch. Some people learn it by marrying Ahmet Zappa. I think the former is the more desirable "catch".

In news that is so shocking I can barely finish this morning's Mudslide and handful of Dexatrim - Selma Blair and Ahmet Zappa are divorcing after two years of marriage. I didn't laugh when I heard they got engaged after dating for a week. I didn't laugh when they got married after dating for six months. I didn't laugh when I watched "The Sweetest Thing" (mostly because I was too busy scowling and muttering "Somebody actually put money behind this piece of crap?"). I'll tell you when I laughed - when an article about said divorce referred to Ahmet Zappa as an "actor-rocker".

I don't want to split hair extensions here, but I'm pretty sure that in order to be an "actor-rocker" you have to both "act" and "rock" - two things that I've never witnessed Ahmet Zappa actually doing. If you ever had the misfortune of watching Dweezil's and his show "Happy Hour" on USA a few years back, you know what I'm talking about. It was like wearing a damp suit of armor and riding an electric porcupine, only less endurable.
