Hollywood fantasies
Eva RinaldiI know, I know. That scenario isn’t sexy enough to qualify as a fantasy. Maybe I could add him telling a joke about 1040 forms being ‘EZ.’ Would that spice it up enough?
Here’s the thing: I’ve been married for over 20 years to a man I desperately love. I don’t dream about running off with the likes of George Clooney — unless it’s to his home in Italy. From what I hear that place is sweet, right on a lake and everything. I’d take my husband, of course. We could both use some time to kick back, relax, and eat cannolis. George doesn’t even have to be there, although I hear he’s a great host and I bet he plays a mean game of charades.
So, I’m sorry. I’m boring. I’ll try harder next time. Maybe Brad Pitt re-wiring our chandelier? I could talk about his blue eyes sparkling in the light of the candelabra bulbs, his muscles bulging as he takes the fixture down….
Aw, man. Who am I kidding? I suck at this. I’ll leave the fantasies to someone more qualified. In the mean time, just know when I have that faraway look I’m dreaming of Colin Firth painting my bathroom.

Ooo, Janene, fantasies are good! While I like Brad and Colin, I must admit that George Clooney, especially in Italy, would be an ultimate panting, fawning, and near-death in happiness experience. He does that shy thing with his eyes, and his mouth has that who-am-I-kidding-I’m-gorgeous look. See what you’ve started?
Tee hee! Actually, I’ve never really fantasized about Brad or George. I like the funny ones. It’s weired, though. I don’t really have any steamy fantasies. It’s usually going out for coffee and goofing on passers by. I know. I’m weird.
I am a huge Jason Bateman fan. I just saw him in the movie Horrible Bosses. Laughing out loud hysterical. Fun fun.
Then you just HAVE to get Arrested Development on DVD if you haven’t seen the series yet. He’s awesome. Only role I didn’t like? When he was in Juno. Creepy!
You’re not boring, you’re just better behaved than the rest of us! I’m a huge Jason Bateman fan. I’d also like him to….do my taxes.
My absolute number one crush of all time is still Chazz Palminteri in his “A Bronx Tale” days.
Chazz Palminteri? You like ‘em tough! I always seem to go for the funny. My only exception is Colin Firth. He’s THE Mr. Darcy. Need I say more? (Oops. Exposing literary roots. Now people know I’m not cool.)
Yeah, and one day… after I’m published, and doing the talk show circuit… all anyone is going to want to ask me about is how I used to paint apartments and repair garbage disposals.
Sounds good enough to me
Ooh! Repairing garbage disposals? TELL ME MORE!!!
Love Jason Bateman, have since Silver Spoons…am I dating myself? Also, I have TOO many Hollywood fantasies to list here but the one that captures my heart is Ewan McGregor; and I am actually going to see a movie today that he is in. So I will on cloud 9 for days.
FYI: They are plans to make An Arrested Development movie. I loved that show and was really disappointed when it got cancelled.
Ewan McGregor? Excellent choice and I’m so pumpled about the Arrested Development movie! That was such an awesome series. When they cancelled it a little part of me died inside.
Well, last I heard -- about a year ago is that it was still in script form but I did see Jason Bateman on Inside the Actors Studio announce it and then did some research. I’ll keep you up to date with its progress. Come to me for all your movie details
That dude is hot. I certainly wouldn’t mind ruffling his hair up.
No, I mean literally walking up to him, giving it a quick ruffle and going on my merry way.
Also, congrats on being married for 20 years and still being able to stand each other. :p
I would love to ruffle his hair, too! We are on the same wavelength. And thanks for the congrats. I really got lucky. How my husband puts up with me, I don’t know.
Oh Janene and her fantasies
Bateman is a cutie! Boo’s comment made me laugh haha. I can clearly picture her walking to him and just ruffle and then walking away! So when will we be reading another fantasy?? hehe.
I agree, he’s a cutie. And he seems like he’d be a good, dependable friend, too. As for Boo’s comment — so true! I could SO seeing her do that!
Awright, all youse dames. Hands off George Clooney. He’s the sexiest man, after Cary Grant and Sean Connery, who ever lived, and if anybody’s going to fantasize about George it’s me. So you can have little-boy Bateman and I’ll take the silver-haired Fox!
Hee hee! Go ahead and take Clooney. Just promise me if you ever get invited to his home in Italy you’ll let me tag along. As for Cary Grant and Sean Connery? Such excellent taste, my dear!
Janene, I also suffer from fantasy-deprivation. I guess that’s the price one pays for contentment.
Ciao NP!!!
Well said, NP! It’s an affliction I can live with.
Loved your spin on Hollywood fantasies!! We may be content with our man, but hey who wouldn’t be delighted with the prospect of celebrity intervention for the mundane everyday chores….I would certainly appreciate the glitz
It would be fun, indeed! Think James Franco would do my laundry? That’d be cool.
Janene, my dear! I think it may be time for an intervention, if that’s what you want James Franco for. We can Help you!
I can see why you are writing comedy and not an aspiring Romance writer.
Haha! Excellent point, my dear!
