Jamie Lee Curtis is still smoking hot! And I did not know that Ernest Borgnine, Kirk Douglas, Jerry Lewis and Mickey Rooney were still alive. Amazing, they are getting to be the last of the Studio Contract Players left, I guess. ---

Not a bad lineup, all things considered. Nice touch having John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John next to each other. > [@aruvqan](#): > > Jamie Lee Curtis is still smoking hot!

Yes, but we can’t all divorce Ethel Merman, can we? > [@Pai325](#): > > Robert De Niro doesn’t look happy to be in the picture. Well, he’s got to be at least 30 feet from Martin Scorsese. It’s the furthest apart they’ve been in years. ---

> [@gaffa](#): > > 100th anniversary Photoshop collage. Call me a cynic, but if JJ Abrams’ head is twice the size of Tom Cruises…well, I guess that would explain a lot. I’m going to say it’s not a photoshop job. I worked at Paramount during it’s 90th and that wasn’t a collage. I don’t see Nimoy. Shatner is there and Chris Pine and Zach Quiznos are there together. Of course Takei is there but not next to Shatner. PS Tom Cruise is pretty short/small. PSS Brad Grey fired me. ---

Who the heck is Rosie Huntington-Whiteley? (oh, apparently she was in one of the _Transformers_ movie. No wonder I’ve never heard of her) ---

It’s been seventeen years since Scorsese and De Niro did a movie together. Nowadays, Scorsese hangs out with Leonardo DiCaprio. ---
