Two Thumbs Close-Up

Yet another reason to be disturbed by The Break-Up...

Flipping through Entertainment Weekly's "Exclusive!" first photo shoot of Jennifer Aniston & Vince Vaughn together, I was struck by something... odd. Maybe it's just me, but look at this picture (click here to embiggen):



See anything just a mite suggestive? Think Even Cowgirls Get the Blues. Or Vaughn's own Thumbsucker.

Give up? Here's a close-up, with only minor erasing to remove distracting elements:


All thumb

Do you see it now? Or is it just me?

Apparently, Vaughn "lost a piece of his thumb in a car wreck." Now we know which part of his anatomy they used to replace it (perhaps inspired by this classic film?).

Now, take another look at that Entertainment Weekly cover on your newstand or in your bathroom:



And look closer (with minor erasing):


A Swinger's finger?

The Godfather: Part Ewww!

On her majesty's secret service

Every time I see the trailer for The Break-Up, I get the creeps... and not because of how Vince Vaughn and Jon Favreau have let themselves go in the ten years since Swingers. No, what disturbs me is the part where Judy Davis tells Jennifer Aniston: "Go see Mischa, my personal waxer at the spa. Ask her for the Telly Savalas." Then Aniston, looking at herself naked in the mirror recites Kojak's catchphrase, "Who loves ya, baby?"

Now, Telly Savalas was Jennifer Aniston's godfather. So, you can see how her referring to the waxing of her most intimate of areas by the bald-headed actor's name would be somewhat godincestuous and therefore, creepy.

But hey, at least her godfather wasn't Gabe Kaplan.

Olé!

God bless The People's Choice Awards. They've done the impossible... brought Jennifer Aniston and Angelina Jolie together at last... for an all-out catfight to the death! Or to the Olay Total Effects Fans Favorite Look Award. One or the other. Too bad Gwyneth Paltrow couldn't nudge out Jennifer's TV-sister for the trifecta.

Also a pity (no pun intended): The People's Choice Awards inform winners in advance that they've won, so we'll be denied a reaction shot of the loser (if this lame award is even handed out during the actual ceremony). Still, A for effort, People's Choice. Way to stir stuff up!
