Lea Thompson on Celebrity Duets
One of my favorite movies of all time is Some Kind of Wonderful. Love it! Eric Stoltz, Mary Stuart Masterson, and Lea Thompson in a love triangle for all the ages. Why don’t I own this movie?
Anyway, I’m flipping channels tonight and come across Celebrity Duets. Crazy little show hosted by Wayne Brady. I didn’t much like Wayne’s (can I call you Wayne?) talk show, but he does still crack me up.
Where was I? Oh yeah, Lea Thompson. So, there she is on my TV singing her little heart out, bare belly and all. I could make some comment about “at what age should you stop showing your belly,” but, since I’ve NEVER had that flat a belly, I’ll leave it to those of you who have room to talk. So, there she is, and it’s an odd moment seeing her singing up there with Cheech Marin, Alfonso Ribeiro (Hello, Carlton), Carly Patterson, Jai Rodriguez and others. Odd.
Two things I’ve learned from watching a bit of this show (Sorry. Not even for you, my readers, can I sit through the whole show.):
1. I’d still rather watch Lea Thompson in Some Kind of Wonderful or Back to the Future.
2. Celebrities look just as goofy as us regular folk dancing while they karaoke.
Okay, so I lied. I ended up watching the whole darn thing. After performing with Belinda Carlisle, Lea got kicked off the show. But it was way cute seeing her kids in the audience cheering for her.
Bit of Trivia: Lea Thompson, Eric Stoltz, and Mary Stuart Masterson have all appeared in Law & Order: Special Victims Unit.
