Did you catch The Cure on the Leno show last night? I stayed up until 11:30 pm just to see them. I admit, I don’t know what to make of their new single. It didn’t seem to flow very well and left me feeling like The Cure I’ve known and loved for years is gone. Honestly, with each album, they get worse. And the ironic thing is that they were spitting out fantastic albums at a pace of once a year, and now when they have four year gaps between them, this is all they can come up with? I sincerely hope this is not an indication of the new album’s sound, or I’m going to be sorely disappointed. Oh, and Robert is looking quite chubby these days, although I still find him sexy.
Which leads me to a conversation I had with Joe today. I mentioned to him that Robert Smith is on my “freebie list”, which I got from a Friends episode (#305 – “The gang all consider what five celebrities would be on their “freebie list”–people they can sleep with without anyone getting upset”). In addition to Robert Smith, my list contains Nick Lachey, John Corbett, Jason Statham, and Will Ferrell. Not your typical list, I know. No Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise, or Mel Gibson. I almost said Ben Affleck, but there’s something about his personality that really bugs me, which is why he didn’t make the list.
To be honest, I was hard pressed to come up with enough guys to fill the list. I just think the majority of the men out there don’t “do it” for me. And the ones that used to, no longer do (like David Hasselhoff and Nicholas Cage). I could easily name attractive women in a much faster time frame. Not that I would ever want to sleep with a woman, but just for the hell of it, here’s my top 5 in terms of attractiveness. Keep in mind this has nothing to do with personality, although with the men I had to like what I knew about them personally before considering them: Kate Beckinsale, Katie Holmes, Sandra Bullock, Drew Barrymore, and Jessica Simpson.
So who’s on your list?
As some of you are aware, The Cure re-released Pictures of You on January 6th. I originally pre-ordered it from CD Universe but then cancelled it because I am cheap. I didn’t want to pay shipping on it and then pay for shipping again on the 27th when the b-sides box set I pre-ordered was released. I figured I’d just get both around the 27th to save the $3.
