Mickey Rourke hearts Loki

mickeyoscars2Mickey Rourke has totally won me over.  I have not even seen The Wrestler but I hope he wins so he can dedicate it to his precious dog Loki who passed away six days ago.  The actor was wearing a Jean Paul Gautier suit with a special necklace that holds a picture of his beloved dog whom he had for 18 years.

“She’s the love of my life. She made it until six days ago. She left me at a time where after 18 years she knew I’d be alright,” said Rourke
“It’s bittersweet. I said to myself I’d rather have Loki for another two years than an Oscar. And I told her that. But she stayed as long as she could you know,” he added.

So sweet, he has my vote!

Mickey Rourke prefers gorilla over Love!

I have yet to see The Wrestler but Mickey Rourke is quickly becoming one of my favorite people!  Reports were flying all over the internet that the comeback kid had been secretly dating rocker Courtney Love.  While on the streets of London today Rourke was questioned about the alleged romance.

“I’d rather be on a deserted island with a gorilla,” Rourke told the reporters.

This guy just climbed about 40 notches in my book!

BAFTA Recap

As expected, “Slumdog Millionaire” cleaned up at the Bafta Awards this evening.  The Danny Boyle hit took home 7 awards including Best Film, Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Music, Best Cinemotography, Best Editing, and Best Sound.

Other big winners tonight were Kate Winslet who won the Best Actress BAFTA for her role in the film, “The Reader,” Mickey Rourke won the Best Actor BAFTA for his role in “The Wrestler,” Heath Ledger won the Best Supporting Actor award for his role of the Joker in “The Dark Knight,” and Penelope Cruz took home the Best Supporting Actress award for her role in the Woody Allen film, “Vicky Cristina Barcelona.”

The list of winners seems to be same at all the awards shows lately, so should we expect to see similar winning during the upcoming Oscars?

Evan Rachel Wood is not doing Mickey Rooney or Rourke!

erwmrI was not amused by these stories of Evan Rachel Wood messing around with her co-star Mickey Rourke.  They just seem too odd together.  What the hell do I know?  She did date Marilyn Manson.  Evan spoke exclusively to Rolling Stone Magazine about the alleged affair.

“I’m upset because I feel disrespected by the press and by Mr. Rourke, Just because I’m single doesn’t mean that you can take advantage of me. It’s unfair that the performances might suffer because of all of these distractions.”

She continued by saying this regarding her alleged affair with Mr. Rourke, “I’m not attracted to him, he’s too old for me. Nothing ever happened and nothing ever will.”

While I do like Evan, why is she blaming Rourke for the rumors?  I have not heard him say anything about her.  His rep spoke to US Weekly Magazine to set the record straight.

“There is absolutely no truth in these rumors,” his rep told Usmagazine.com Thursday. “Mickey and Evan became great friends during filming and remain friends, nothing more.”

After he reads her quote I doubt they will be any kind of friends at all!

Mickey Rourke & Bai Ling!

Ok, I really did not believe the rumors about Mickey Rourke and Bai Ling. Who on Earth wants to hook up with wacko Bai Ling?

These shots from January 12th show the couple together celebrating Rourke’s cover in L.A. Magazine at a  party held in his honor at the London Hotel. Bai stood right by her man while he gave his appreciation speech.

This is by far the weirdest couple in Hollyweird, for now.
