I don’t know what’s been distracting me for the last week, readers, but I just haven’t been remarkably interested in Bai Ling’s publishing a buddy-buddy picture with Mickey Rourke. (Probably because I’m simply not interested in Mickey Rourke.) If you’ve been keeping tabs on BL, though, you’ve witnessed the blogosphere foaming at the mouth in a tizzy over last Wednesday’s post, titled “Beautiful weekend colored my space……“

Perhaps the section of my brain devoted to all celebrity gossip mild to wild has been wholly absorbed by my fascination with uberdouchebag Ryan, but in regards to this Mickey Rourke-Bai Ling thing, I say, “So what?” Bai Ling’s single. Mickey Rourke is single. (I think?) Of course if it were me I would have taken more photos with Ralph Fiennes instead.

Bai Ling’s a big girl, though, she can take care of her own. Like a well-trained starlet, she’s turning this into teaser leverage for her book:

Its been hard for me the last few days, my phone keep ringing like crazy, but what did I do? just wish that I could tell the truth to the world, but sometimes you just can’t, maybe you have to wait for my book to come out and read, yes I am writing a book, more colors than 7 colors of the rainbow, more exciting stories than you would ever known, more odd turns will take your breath away, more roses will kiss the sexy red lips into your deep brian, just like my gifted life, special, yes special and especially with men……

More colors than 7 colors of the rainbow! I am so totally excited. I’ll take ten.

I have no idea what Mickey Rourke’s response to all of this is, but if he likes it then he should PUT A RING ON IT.*

*I hope this takes over as the new age version of “Carpe diem.”
