Pop Goes The T-Shirt

‘TIME now to mention two things that caught our eye in this week’s Enquirer.

Sharon Stone in Casino

First, we have noticed that, despite the constant news that Sharon Stone is in some way gorgeous, we who have seen Coronation Street note her startling resemblance to that show’s Deirdre Rashid.

Mentally remove Deirdre’s glasses, tussle her hair, take off her supportive knickers and you have Manchester’s very own basic instinct.

If that were not enough – and for many it is already too much – we’ve noticed another trend: the dad worship T-shirt.

In a previous week’s Enquirer, Elizabeth Jagger was pictured sporting a Ringo Starr T-shirt while on a date with Sean Lennon, the son of Ringo’s fellow former Beatle John Lennon.

(We know Ringo is not Sean’s dad, but the weird closeness to dad John is there.)

We now note how actress Selma Blair, who’s married to Ahmed Zappa, is wearing a T-shirt with a shot of Ahmed’s dad Frank Zappa on the front.

Which suggests that the cliche now runs: been there, done that, got the T-shirt…of your dad.

Which might not be the most wholesome image to look at while eyeing your girlfriend’s chest…’
