Sienna Miller and Ernest Borgnine’s Next Collaborative Effort



Sienna Miller has given birth to her first child who is the reincarnated soul of Ernest Borgnine. It’s got to be true. While the GI Joe star and her Pirate Radio boyfriend welcomed one little life into this world, another Hollywood bright light was extinguished.

Borgnine was 95-years-old. And for as much as people might remember him best for is Oscar winning turn in ‘Marty’ or for ‘McHale’s Navy,’ my memories of this strange little actor run the gambit from Cabbie in ‘Escape From New York’ to his appearance on Fox News four years ago when he told the world that his secret to a long life and a youthful complexion was that he masturbated… a lot!

But for some reason, the first thing I think about when someone mentions Borgnine’s name is Eugene Levy’s SCTV imitation of the extreme-eye-browed perpetually smiling and laughing actor.

Even though Borgnine was 95-years-old, I believe in my head and heart that he was not done doing whatever it is that he had to do on this planet. And, to carry on his silent mission, he will continue to do his important work through the growing being that will be BSM (Baby Sienna Miller.)

Eventually Miller’s child will grow up, sprout a single eye brow, and be able to explain to the universe the importance and deep seated relevance of Harry Dean Stanton. And the world will be grateful – especially Toby Maguire who will play Stanton in a made-for-TV movie sometime in the next 40-50 years.

After that performance, the birds will begin to sing again. The scorched skies will clear. Monkeys will fling nothing but grapes at each other. And the Jackson 5 will go on a holographic tour for the third time.

So thank you Ernest Borgnine. I’d say rest in peace but you are much too busy for that. And thank you and congratulations Sienna Miller. The more babies you produce with little bunny teeth, the better this planet will be.

Norah Jones is Back

There was a time in my life when I use to consume music instead of food. Ironically, when my career (in radio) got too busy or convoluted, 'my' music got lost in my life-mix that was dominated by the tunes I had to play to make a living. The Archies, Anne Murray, Celine Dion, Glass Tiger, Garth Brooks and Craig Ruhnke are currently NOT on my personal playlist. Sorry. I have sadly not schooled my five year old much in my world of musical misadventure. So through outside osmosis, Abi has unfortunately picked up on her own things including Justin Bieber. (For the longest time, she though he was singing "Baybit baybit baybit whoa!") She went through a Spice Girls phase (no) thanks to her grandmother and uncle. That was an unfortunate time in all of our lives -- especially since I was getting to the point where I could identify which Spice Girl was singing which lyric. P But I am trying to change that. And her education has to start with my re-education. Part o...

How to Get Chris Brown Rich

If you follow Chris Brown’s lead, there are just a couple of things that you have to do to climb the ladder of Forbes’ success just like he’s doing:   Have hit songs that no one can name or hum. Tattoo almost every part of your body in an effort to… oh… um… I don’t know – maybe to be Lil’ Wayne. Beat the hell of your ‘bitch’ and still manage to come out of it with a reputation of being the bad guy that’s not really all that bad at all. Share a name with practically every other Caucasian   guy that I personally know. Take pictures of your naked self in what had to a funhouse mirror that makes EVERYTHING seem too long and too thin and then claim innocence and bewilderment when that picture that you took with your phone mysteriously ended up on the internet.

Daydream Believer -- Davy Jones -- Dead at 66

The Monkees were a major part of my pop culture upbringing and an early introduction to rock and roll for so many Generation-X’rs. I would rush home from St. Patrick’s Separate School at the end of the day just to see the Pre-Fab Four’s show. And even though I personally was a Mickey Dolenz fan, Davy Jones owned the hearts of the group’s female fan base. Davy Jones passed away this morning. He suffered a heart attack in Florida. He was 66. I remember my father mocking me and questioning why I liked the show and the music. It was clear from the beginning that inspiration for The Monkees was born from the fanatical success of The Beatles – and that The Monkees were ‘cast’ in their roles as members of a band. In the sixties, there was little appreciation for their music by the industry – partially because Jones and Dolenz along with Michael Nesmith and Peter Tork had little to no control over the music. That would change. Nesmith and Tork were musicians. Jones, like Dolenz, was predomina...
