Skyblue and Alan Cumming

Chicago lingo enters the dictionary

"Apparently not content to simply hop and scotch their way all the way to the top, Chicago children over the years have added the unique bellow: Skyblue!"

I had no idea this was a chicago-only sort of thing. seriously. I remember 'skyblue' from when I used to hopscotch (like, 6 months ago) and, golly, you just can't play without it! seriously. what's the point? And what would you put in the arched area at the top of the hop-grid, if not skyblue?

while I'm reading the important parts of the news, I'm delighted to report that Alan Cumming <who has finally pushed Penn Jillette out of the number one spot on the 'most fuckable celebrity' list I've been keeping in my Sassy diary> will be starring in a 'radical' remake of romantic crime show, Hart To Hart.

according to Yahoo UK, Mr And Mr Nash will see Cumming play one half of an interior decorating couple who stumble upon murders.

Hollywood funnyman Steve Martin is developing the show for network ABC.

Martin, whose many on-screen credits include Father Of The Bride, told Variety: "I am proud to be part of Mr And Mr Nash, especially the part where it's a big hit."

Cumming, 37, once played an ultra-camp air hostess in BBC2 sitcom The High Life. But graduated to Hollywood after a celebrated stint on Broadway with musical Cabaret.

If I were any more excited, I'd jump up and down. but that would require physical exertion, so I'll just bounce gleefully in my mind.
