Kevin Bacon Is A Dirty, Dirty Boy
In an industry where marriages are acquired and discarded as easily as a McDonald's cheeseburger, Kevin Bacon and his wife Kyra Sedgewick have made theirs last for twenty years. The secret?
The couple, who have been married for 20 years, were asked what kept them together as they arrived at the Screen Actors Guild awards last night with daughter Sosie, 16.
“You have to keep the fights clean and the sex dirty,” responded Kevin.
So THAT'S what I've been doing wrong all these years! I had it totally reversed! Thanks, Kevin! ;)
In other Kevin Bacon news, he's one of those who has lost a bundle in this whole Bernie Madoff mess:
Kevin Bacon doesn't have any projects lined up at the moment.And that may be a problem.
The actor, who was taken to the cleaners in Bernie Madoff's alleged Ponzi scheme, is coming to terms with his and wife Kyra Sedgwick's new, more modest financial situation.
"There are a lot of things I'm grateful for: my health, my family, my career, my family's health," he told Life & Style magazine last Friday. "We'll march on. We have to. There's nothing you can do about it."
Bacon, 51, says he was taken by surprise by money manager Madoff's financial implosion.
"I didn¹t see it coming," he said. "I don't have anything lined up right now, but I need to work, for obvious reasons."
Luckily, wife Kyra Sedgwick is gainfully employed in her hit TV series "The Closer," for which she earns a reported $300,000 per episode.
Yep, Kevin...welcome to the club, dude. Although I do feel for anyone who was swindled by that Madoff crook, I have to say that my cold, cynical heart tends to believe that Kevin's definition of "modest financial situation" and the definition adopted by those who purchase tickets to his movies might be an entirely different thing altogether. I mean, I get the feeling he's looking at having to downgrade to a bottle of wine worth $100, versus Joe Schmoe The Ragpicker from up the road having to downgrade from tap water to rainwater collected in a barrel.
So somebody hire the guy already. Footloose 2: Electric Boogaloo?
Don't be hatin', I like Kevin. I'm just sayin'.
(cookie for you if you can get through the rest of the day without the theme from Footloose playing in your head)
