Ben Kingsley, gushing fanboy
By Spirit Fingers
Ben Kingsley has been so ebullient in his recent praise of the younger celebrities, I fear for the continued existence of the giant vein in his forehead.
On Mary-Kate Olsen:
“Mary-Kate is a genius,” he tells OK! mag. “She’s great company and a very good actor indeed.”
On Britney Spears:
She’s my role model, really. An inspiration, should I say?” He then goes on about his own “morning mantra,” which consists of him saying: “Give me, give me, give me, give me…” Before leaving, he says: “It starts my day, and my day gets better and better!”
Of the other tabloid covergirls he has remained tight-lipped for now, but let’s not allow that to stop the platitudes. Please, I invite you to insert your own Kingsleyism in the comments section. Here are some to get you started:
Paris Hilton: an angel from above..nay..a veritable goddess?
Lindsay Lohan: a paragon of virtue, quite simply, the best thing since sliced bread?
Mischa Barton: pure unadulterated joy to watch, even when wearing high-waisted jeans?

He’s goofing on us, right?

Are you sure this isn’t being said sarcastically?

Amazing that someone who played Gandhi can have this kind of consciousness–or lack thereof.

The Britney comment is most probably tongue in cheek
