    Kiddnapping Bernie Ecclestone's mother-in-law sounds like a spectacular fail. He strikes as the type who, if she were freed on the spot, wouldn't spring for cabfare home.

    He's is a 5'3" trolling looking dude, who is married to a nice-looking woman almost 50 years younger than him. If it was me, I'd figure $30 million is a small price to pay for my charmed life. She's getting at least that much when he kicks anyhow, right?

    Michael Caine could not accept his Academy Award in person because he was filming Jaws: The Revenge. Gotta love it.

    One could surmise the skills that got Michelle Johnson that part would not hold up over time. She did have a nice part in "Far and Away," though, the only other movie I can remember seeing her in.

    Demi Moore, OTOH, clearly had room to augment her skills.

    I believe that was his second wife. She was a fashion model, back in the day. I believe she was 6'3 and he was 5'3. She left him, leaving him to find a newer, younger wife:

    Michelle signed on to the last dying-gasp year of The Love Boat. She should have known better than to sign on to a series where Ted McGinley already had joined.

    Don't remember which bad movie he was talking about but someone asked him why in the world he accepted a role in it and if he'd seen it. His answer was something along the lines of:

    "I haven't seen it but I hear it's quite awful. However, I have seen the house I built with the check and it's quite lovely."

    Is Ecclestone the one who had a Nazi themed bondage party?
