I read that this was the first English-speaking role for the actor that played Gheorghe, which is amazing, since he was by far the easiest to understand of all the actors in the film. He worked on a farm for 2 weeks before the filming, which makes his realistic scenes with the animals that much more impressive. One question... how did he manage to keep his facial stubble so perfectly sexy out there in the fields?

I couldn't care less, but thought one of y'all might.

I finally watched it and enjoyed it. I don't know how it wound up on XVideo.com, but I'm glad I found it there.

Sending you all my personalized wishes for a happy day...

...which I serve on the backs and/or stomachs of firm, naked young men acting as coffee tables...

I thought @WilliamM meant to write Unlikely to happen... because the museums he mentioned are so full of people that the incident wouldn't have happened there.

Bored Russian museum guard drew eyes onto $1.4M painting on first day https://nypost.com/2022/02/10/museum-guard-doodled-eyes-on-1-4m-anna-leporskaya-painting/ A bored security guard in Russia damaged a prized $1.4 million painting of blank faces by doodling eyes onto them at a museum, according to reps from the art house. The 60-year-old guard allegedly drew the peepers on Anna Leporskaya’s avant-garde artwork, “Three Figures” with a pen during his first day of work at the Yeltsin Centre gallery in Yekaterinburg, a museum spokeswoman told The Guardian Wednesday. “His motives are still unknown but the administration believes it was some kind of a lapse in sanity,” said the exhibit’s curator Anna Reshetkina, adding that he used a ballpoint “Yeltsin Center-branded pen.” The security guard, who was not identified, was fired and charged with vandalism last week, The Age newspaper reported. It’s now expected to cost $4,600 to restore the 1930s painting, which had been on loan from the State Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow. “The ink has slightly penetrated into the paint layer, since the titanium white used to paint the faces is not covered with author’s varnish, as is often the case in abstract painting of that time,” Ivan Petrov wrote in Russia’s Art Newspaper, which was first to report the story. “Fortunately, the vandal drew with a pen without strong pressure, and therefore the relief of the strokes as a whole was not disturbed. The left figure also had a small crumble of the paint layer up to the underlying layer on the face.” Gallery-goers first noticed the faceless defacing in December but the city’s ministry of internal affairs initially deemed the damage “insignificant” and declined to press charges, according to The Guardian. But the country’s ministry of culture later complained to the prosecutor general’s office, and cops last week announced they’d launched an investigation. If found guilty, the guard could be sentenced to up to three months in jail.

Who doesn't ?

What's so confusing? Kate Jackson & Cheryl Ladd have never had a son-in-law who got Oscar nominations, so I wanted to see them pretend not to be seething with jealousy.

I’m upset that Jaclyn Smith’s son in law didn’t get nominated for writing or directing (for MASS, which I want to see when it streams for free)... Only because I wanted Kate Jackson and Cheryl Ladd to be jealous.

Sherri Shepherd to be named ‘permanent guest host’ of ‘Wendy Williams Show’ https://pagesix.com/2022/02/08/sherri-shepherd-named-permanent-guest-host-of-wendy-williams-show/ Sherri Shepherd is set to be named the “permanent guest host” of “The Wendy Williams Show” following her health hiatus in September 2021. Beginning September 2022, former “The View” co-host Shepherd, 54, will take over the series regularly, however one source tells Page Six that the move will not be forever. TMZ reports that producers will monitor Williams progress between now and September, which is when they would premiere the show’s 15th season. If the media maven is healthy enough to host by then, she’ll be welcomed back with open arms. If not, Shepherd will take over and producers will consider a name change for the talk show. A show rep has told Page Six that they don’t comment on speculation.

So that's what that aroma is... Let's see a cat do this... An 81-year-old Florida man who struggled to stay afloat after his wheelchair rolled into a lake has his beloved dog to thank for heroically summoning help during the ordeal. Harry Smith took the pooch, Sarah Jane, for a walk near the lake near their home on Southwest Twig Avenue in Port St. Lucie last week when his electric wheelchair lost traction, police said in a statement. It slid down an embankment and Smith was ejected into the water, where he fought to keep afloat. Sensing that her owner was in danger, Sarah Jane began barking loudly, alerting a couple of bystanders across the street who flagged a police officer who happened to be driving by. “Officer Doty exited his patrol vehicle and observed Mr. Smith was submerged up to his neck in the water,” police said. Good dog! Sarah Jane barked for help as Harry Smith into the Port St. Lucie lake. The two bystanders and the officer quickly joined forces to pull Smith out of the water and onto the bank, where he received medical attention and allowed to return home, police said. “Due to his electric wheelchair being damaged from falling in the water, Officer Doty and St. Lucie County Fire District assisted by pushing him back to his house,” according to the statement. “We are thankful for Mr. Smith’s dog and the 2 bystanders that helped save his life! And as the saying remains true…A man’s best friend is his dog,” police added. ‘Everybody in this neighborhood loves her,’ Smith said of his heroic hound, Sarah Jane. WPTV-TV Edward Suhling, one of the good Samaritans, told WPTV: “When we looked over here the dog was splashing in the water so we both ran over here and I jumped in the water. “Only his head was above the water. The wheelchair was in the water,” he added. Smith said he gave the hero dog a treat after the rescue. Officer Doty and a bystander helped wheel Smith home. “She’s such a good dog. Everybody in this neighborhood loves her, they all look out for her,” he told the station. “I love her, always have, always will.” Two days after the incident, the officer capped off an exciting week by welcoming his newborn son into the world, WPTV said.

Thieves are brazenly grabbing porterhouse steaks and other big-ticket items from well-stocked Manhattan food stores and selling their ill-gotten goods to bodegas in the Bronx and elsewhere. It’s a confluence of two hot-button issues: the sharply rising prices retailers — and their customers — are facing as inflation is stuck at 40-year highs and the smash-and-grab antics seen across the country as some say light-touch policing is encouraging theft. As for inflation, it’s so off the charts that tony grocer Citarella is now selling crab meat for $99 a pound — up from around $35 just six months ago. And as for the thefts? Some stores aren’t even stocking the highest-dollar items anymore — because the stuff is ripe for shoplifters. “I am not going near that stuff,” Victor Colello, Morton Williams’ director of meat and fish buying says of the ever-more-pricey crab. “It’s too expensive and will just sit on the shelves or walk out the door.” He cites the supply-chain issues that are gumming up the works across the world — and helping to drive up prices: fish and other seafood stuck on ships in port and soaring demand amid staffing problems. Higher gas prices add to transportation costs and trickle down to the sticker price, too. At Morton Williams, Colello calculates that an 8-ounce lobster tail now costs $32 a pound, wholesale — which would be around $60 a pound retail. Prices across the store are up 30% to 60% in just the past month, he says. And sales are down 15% to 20%. So he’s just staying away from most of the higher-end seafood, he says. “You see it for yourself. The prices are nuts. What are you supposed to eat? That’s why shoplifting is so bad,” he said. Avi Kaner, the CEO and co-owner of Morton Williams said in his 25 years with the grocer, he’s never seen as much theft. “They are coming in with garbage bags to steal for profit and sell the goods to unscrupulous businesses,” he said, alleging that much of the pilfered stuff ends up on shelves at smaller bodegas in the Bronx and elsewhere. Colello, Kaner’s meat and fish director, said this past Saturday, they nabbed a guy stealing $150 worth of porterhouse steaks and $200 worth of candles. “He said that supermarkets and bodega owners in the Bronx and elsewhere pay $5 per for each steak and candle,” Colello claimed. Meanwhile, the costs are driving paying customers away from fish and other seafood, the grocers contend — just as people turned back to the kitchen and cooking during the pandemic. “People were buying fish like crazy,” Colello said. “But now they are shying away from fish. It’s just too expensive. In my 10 years as director of buying, I have never raised so many prices like this. In the last three months, I’ve raised more prices than I have in the last 10 years.” https://nypost.com/2022/02/07/stolen-gourmet-steaks-and-seafood-hightailed-off-to-bronx-bodegas/
