Ben Affleck is getting paid $1.8 million to star in spots for Lynx body spray, “demonstrating the magnetic effect the body spray has on women.” The ads will be shown in the UK, according to the Brit trade magazine Campaign.

From the website....

Did you know?
Women follow their nose when searching for a partner. A survey has found that women rate the smell of a man as more important than his looks as it apparently indicates how healthy he is – and therefore how healthy his offspring might be.

British men worry about their self image, with personal freshness, bad breath and body odour causing the most stress.

It's official, men are taking more of an interest in how they smell, look and attract the opposite sex - the male toiletries market is worth £422 million and increases by 2% each year.

With its coolly seductive fragrances and packaging, Lynx deodorant is now the UK’s top male grooming brand by coming up with a constant stream of out-there products to give young guys serious pulling power. It must be working because 8 million guys use a Lynx deodorant each day. And we’ve got proof that Lynx products will get the girls going – nearly half of all Lynx purchases are made by women!

I think he looks 40. And I actually think he looks pretty good. I mean, considering all the drugs he's done and everything.

On a marginally related note, I am reading Lunar Park by Bret Easton Ellis. I am finding it much more difficult to read than any of his prior works.

Maybe you need reading glasses?

IN other news...
This guy looks older (way) than 40.

SAN FRANCISCO - Actor Robert Downey Jr. married his girlfriend, Susan Levin, a movie producer he met on the set of the film “Gothika,” on Saturday, People magazine reported.

Wow. Tough crowd. He looks 40ish to me. Not too bad.

The Defamer had some nice Sebby-esque prose today in praise of the drug-addled Mr. Downey, which I recreate below. (Internal links omitted)

• The Sunday LAT goes long-form with Robert Downey, Jr, who’s willing to talk (and talk and talk) about his checkered (read: black tar heroin-abusing) past to promote his nth comeback in Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, a profile bearing a 70/30 drugs-to-plugs ratio. Given Downey’s gift for rambling on in colorful, confessional metaphors about What It’s Like to be a recovering addict/movie star, almost the entire article is a potential pullquote, but how could we resist one that starts with a teenage Downey, James Spader, and the Chateau?
  
  “When I came out here at 17, 18, staying at the Chateau with Jimmy Spader,” he says, “there was this understanding that everyone went completely off their rockers for the weekend, then pulled together for the work on Monday. And there was something not very genuine about that, and I had no intention of adhering to that whatsoever. It’s so funny to me,” he adds, “so passé, the hard-partying movie stars and starlets — it’s like demonstrating at a nuclear power plant that’s already been shut down and turned to natural gas.”
  
  We think this Downey/Spader/Chateau set-up could become “The Aristocrats” of the bathroom stall scene. See, it’s easy: “So there I was at the Chateau with a 17-year-old Downey and Jimmy Spader. Right in the middle of cooking up my spoon, a bellboy walks in. Spades and Bobby hold him down, he’s screaming for his mommy, promising not to tell anyone what he’s seen, but we’re all in our third straight day without sleep, so I inject him right in the ass. Poor kid died in Downey’s arms, and Spader spent the rest of the week parading around in nothing but the unlucky bastard’s bellhop jacket, but the Chateau, they were cool about it. They told his family he drowned in the pool and mailed the body back to Peoria. Hey, that’s drugs.” We think this is really going to catch on.

In a completely platonic, non-sexual brotherly love way, sts, npi, nttawwt, ymmv, etc.

What is "personal freshness" if not some combo of breath and body odors?

Good God.



Apparently, that's just the covering. The two holes in the Superdome are apparently pretty small.

Have you tried to read it, Mr. big shot? No pictures and lots of big words!

Someone shot another one. Still doesn't look like a Mexican goat sucker to me, but damn, those teeth are scary. I guess since there are (at least) two of them "mutant" can be ruled out.

Update: They caught one alive! News article here.

You live in a place where people lie about their age. Or else, the humidity here acts as an amazing preservative because the people around here who are 40+ look way way better than this. Drug use notwithstanding.

Has anyone continued to watch the Comeback, if for no other reason than it's on after Entourage and there's rarely something else worth watching? I've skipped a few episodes and have changed the channel in the middle of acutely embarrassing scenes, but last night there was finally some payoff.

After Paulie G makes an obnoxious remark that shows him to be the irredeemably contemptible fuckhead that he is, Val punches him in the stomach, causing him to vomit up the alcohol and pizza he's been shoveling down his gullet for the better part of the day.

I clapped and cheered. That woman had to do something to gain some of her cherished "dignity." Of course, because she's Valerie, he vomited ON HER, but it was still a victory. That, and the fact that they followed it her cringe-worth rendition of I Will Survive, were really perfect.

I agree. Also looking pretty good for his age is Duckie (Jon Cryer). I saw him at a silly eighties band show last night. Alas, he was not in Duckie garb or makeup.

Your str8 of the day.

Stupid slow internet -- I can't get the video to go. I wish they had a still picture.
