John Cleese & His New Girlfriend

68 year old John Cleese has split from his wife of 15 years and is now romantically involved with 34-year-old Veronica Smiley, an executive for Radar magazine. Here is what John had to say about Veronika:

‘She’s incredibly bright. I never thought I would be interested in somebody in marketing but she is so acute.’

Very nice. And how *incredibly bright* is Veronika?

‘I’m American and had never heard of Monty Python or Fawlty Towers, although I had seen A Fish Called Wanda.’

Let me see if I get this straight--she's a marketing rep for RADAR magazine and has never heard of Fawlty Towers or Monty Python? Yes, her brightness is lighting up my monitor.

Let's face it, the only thing bright about Veronika Smiley is her hideous skin. It's like she washes her face with acid and rinses with fire ants. Jesus, an animated devil is slightly less red.

Is she embarrassed?
