Killing me softly

Actress Kate Beckinsale reports an interesting incident involving Hugh Jackman during the filming of Van Helsing. "He was naked in one of our scenes, and they had to wedge it all in so it wouldn't show, but it sort of all fell out, and his bits and pieces rested gently on my leg."

Rested gently? What! Not even a twitch?

She continued: "He's just the nicest man, a sane human being. It was, you know, my privilege." Words fail.

PS Kate's father Richard Beckinsale (who co-starred with Ronnie Barker in the classic British comedy Porridge) died in his thirties of a heart attack. Given the family's history of premature cardiac arrest, it it nothing short of a miracle that we still have Kate among us!

hahaha!  Bits and pieces!  The British are always so delicate about describing sex organs!

These last chapters are great, Louise!  As always, you're keeping it real! In spite of their immaturity, I like Francine and Junior and I'm glad they will get a chance to be a more important part of their dad's life and they will get to perhaps make up for some lost time. Ellery's work is his "big picture" and Ennis's girls are, in a way, his "big picture."   I think the girls, unfortunately, have picked up some manipulative behavior that is very common in children of divorce who have felt a sense of abandonment.  You've zeroed in on this perfectly.  I think that getting away from Alma, Sr. will be a good thing for both of them, as will being around Ellery's no-nonsense attitude!   :)  I think Ellery will provide a good balance to Ennis - who understandably has some guilt issues going on.  I also think that Edna will be a wonderful influence - I can see that she knows exactly how to handle the girls - especially Francine - loving but firm.!  :)  All these things, as well as going to college should help them develop some maturity and self-reliance.  (Note to Francine:   I love ya, honey, but pouting on a 19 year old?   Not a Good Thing!  ;D

The gifts were perfect!  I can't wait to see Ellery's gift to Ennis!!!! I'm guessing it's something rather, er, private?   :laugh:

If it is what I predicted, it is a very public gift!

Yeah, I just read a comment on LJ - must be along the lines of what your predicted!   :)  I had completely forgotten about that!  I think you're probably right - but, I can't help it, my mind just naturally heads toward the gutter when I'm around E&E (and J&N)!   :laugh: :laugh:

Oh, and thanks for the suggestions for more J&N storylines to Louise!  Keep 'em coming, David!!  (Personally, I'm dying to see the "I love you, Nicky" scene!  . . . . and the "Will you move in with me, Nicky" scene . . .  and the "I thought of something new I'd like to try tonight, Nicky" scene . . . . and, . . . well, you get the picture!
