Bellissima

I googled Monica Bellucci this morning to see if she had got up to anything newsworthy lately. Let's see... let's see... Ahh, here we go: She may go to China next year to promote an Italian film festival. Gripping stuff as I am sure you will agree.

On a related note, Bellucci describes herself as a geisha.

Monica Bellucci begins, "I am a geisha, my work is fantastic. You're there like in a trance, you do things that you would never do, you're never cold even if you're completely naked; I usually cautious and fearful but there I become courageous." The actress says how she "never made a phone call to ask for a role. On the contrary, I love to play a destre, give shape to a character, a person. And turning someone else on excites me, to produce excitement in a man. Men can pay a woman to provoke pleasure. For women the issue is different. My naked body? I've never had problems."

Quite. Though I think something was lost in translation about "phoning in" a rôle.

This is all very fine and good but you know in 20 years she will look like Ernest Borgnine, right?

Thank you for this - yet I feel compelled to pass on a bit of wisdom I heard a few times over the years and which applies not only to Monica I'm sure but to everyone: "No matter how fetching she is, someone, somewhere, is tired of putting up with her crap."

I suspect Bellucci falls firmly into the "high maintenance" category.

I would sell my left foot for five minutes in her grasp.. then again, I'd do the same for a personal screening of teh Star Wars Holiday Special with Lucas...

Like all high performance items I've no doubt MB is high maintenance. And this would mean she is utterly unsuitable for flea castle...so send her out to slum it in Victoria. No maintenance at all. it would be very leveling for her.

It is a tough job but I am willing to take it on.
