His new date is 18 year old Lindsey Lohan. [http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/showbiz/articles/17202574](http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/showbiz/articles/17202574) Kinda creepy really, he is 50, she is 18. Ick. ---

Huh. I’m a little disturbed by the image of them not being able to keep their hands off each other. The pulling down of her pants to show her tattoo is skeezing me out a little too. Oh, well, I can’t say I wouldn’t go for her if I were 50… or 60, 70, or whenever I could, really. ---

Perfectly understandable on her end, considering the piece of work her father is turning out to be. You’ve got yer basic Freudian psychology experiment going on right here for the world to see. ---

Willis has been doing the rounds on late night doing the least enthusisastic promotions of his movies I’ve ever seen. His sangfroid demeanor might work for him while he’s acting, but it makes him look really unenthusiastic when talking about his movie. Maybe he needs a young girl to kick a little life back into him. ---

I’m proud of him too, _if this is true._ But let’s all take a deep breath and note that the OP’s source is a London tabloid. A London tabloid website, no less. ---

Pervy, but I guess they’re having fun. Not terribly shocking, and my friend will be glad to know that she’s into old dudes. haha. ---

Actually I was sort of using the word incorrectly. Willis seems not only stoic but depressed in the interviews I’ve seen him on (I’ve been watching alot of TV lately). Don’t know if that’s normal, as I’ve never seen him interviewed before the last few days. I don’t think he’s really getting anyone hyped to go see his movie though. ---

> [@Malodorous](#): > > Willis has been doing the rounds on late night doing the least enthusisastic promotions of his movies I’ve ever seen. It’s true, he does seem to be vaguely embarrassed to be contractually obligated to make an effort to promote _Hostage_. Who can blame him?\* I’m sure he’ll be a lot brighter on the circuit when he’s pushing _Sin City_. \*This rhetorical question might also be asked with regard to his rubbing up against Ms. Lohan. ---

Isn’t this the first time since his divorce that Willis has dated anyone who doesn’t look exactly like Demi Moore? At least he’s making progress of a sort. As for poor. poor Miss Lohan… this is sort of like watching a train that hasn’t wrecked yet, yes, it’s still technically on the tracks, but the engine is on fire and the conductor has leapt off and it’s going 140 MPH and five hundred yards ahead is a level crossing on which a tanker truck full of gasoline has stalled going one way, while going the other way there’s a stalled schoolbus full of crippled children who just came back from a field trip to the dynamite factory and they all bought souvenirs. Her story will not end up being a pretty one. ---
