Americon Icon?
Call me a snob, but I normally don't watch all those competition programs such as Dancing with the Stars or American Idol. But ohhhh boy, I watched American Idol last night. For those old enough to remember, on occasion an ancient I-don't-give-a-shit Bette Davis, with a face contorted from strokes, would put on a big flowery hat and motor over to Burbank to appear on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson to say whatever the fuck came into her head. It was like this delicious train wreck and I was in my teens and after every appearance I just thought: "Now THAT is how I want to be in my autumn years." But I've changed my mind. Now I want to be Paula Abdul. Wasn't she glorious? I'd give anything to have all that hair piled on top of my head, sleep-deprived and drunk on live national television and just be sassy and say shit that had no relationship to reality.
