Irrational Man Parker Posey

IT’S NOT NORMA DESMOND, IT’S PARKER POSEY

Parker Posey seems to be doing her best Norma Desmond imitation in this outfit at a screening of Woody Allen’s Irrational Man in New York. (Remember, Gloria Swanson played Norma in Sunset Boulevard, and her character often wore head wraps and gold lame.) Actually, Parker more closely resembles Katherine Hepburn and would be a perfect casting choice for Kate’s life story. Parker earned the title of Indie Queen in the 90’s, but she was so thrilled to be cast in Woody’s film, that she admits she burst into tears.

Caitlyn Jenner ESPY Awards Gender Reassignment

CAITLYN JENNER: WHAT DOES GENDER REASSIGMENT HAVE TO DO WITH SPORTS?

What on earth did Caitlyn Jenner do to deserve an ESPY award? ESPY stands for Excellence in Sports Performance Yearly. Is changing your sex considered a sports activity? Has the world gone MAD? It was gratifying to see the world champion US women’s soccer team onstage getting the attention they deserve. Apparently the ESPY producers feared the show would lack universal appeal or whatever, so they hauled in someone sure to attract curiosity (Jenner) followed by the sexy Kardashian/Jenner girls. (Above.) Remember, Jenner recently killed a woman and injured others due to inattentive driving. You’d think she’d want to keep a low profile. Jenner gave a nice speech but the honorable thing to do would have been to TURN DOWN the inappropriate award altogether.
