The Canadian Dream

FortuneWarren2.jpg

Approachable Canadian INXS front-man JD Fortune is learning to say "no" to fans who think they own him and "yes" to his celebrity girlfriend, fellow Canadian Estella Warren.

The 32-year-old singer is seeing fellow Canadian, actor Estella Warren, who stars as his love interest in the clip for the band's new single, Afterglow. Warren, best known for her role in the Planet of The Apes remake, gushed about Fortune in People last week.

She complimented his "acting" skills and said the pair were "really comfortable together and we joke around. ... He is so a rock star, but he's humble and he's beautiful and stunning and sexy and very natural and very talented," she said.

A point that was not clear to me: Estella does not star as JD's love interest in the video because she is his girlfriend. The two hooked up after he wanted her to play his girlfriend in the video. Rock on, JD.

I don't know that Estella is in a position to rate anybody's acting skills.

She and Marky Mark (sans Funky Bunch) owe all of us an apology for Planet of the Apes.

Let's add Tim Burton to the list of people who owe and apology for that one. It was breathtakingly awful.

I thought that "the Canadian Dream" was to be an American ...

Close, Bill. It's to be successful in America, without necessarily becoming American. That way you get to be twice as much of a finger-wagging pain in the ass. You can assume an air of superiority while dealing with the imperialist running-dog Yanquis and still look down upon your fellow Canucks who aren't talented enough to escape the Great White North.

Sort of a "transnationalist douchebag."

Estella is a genuine gal. Its nice to see her with a guy who's got a full head of hair!

You go girl!
