Well how about that - the way to Uma Thurman's heart doesn't involve drawing pictures of her digging your grave and tittering after all.
We'll be blown. Apparently if you want Uma Thurman to fall in love with you you should probably be a multimillionaire businessman who doesn't live in a car parked freakishly close to Uma Thurman's house. That's the tactic used by Arpad "Arki" Busson, anyway, and it's seemed to work for him.
That's because Uma Thurman and Arpad Busson have just announced their engagement. The news will come as a bitter to Uma Thurman's convicted stalker Jack Jordan, although it's not all bad news - he apparently hopes it'll be a long engagement so that he can turn up to the wedding with his special handmade confetti made from tiny little cutouts of disturbing headless brides.
Let this be a lesson to you all - you don't relentlessly stalk Uma Thurman with a series of disturbing gifts and nightmarish doodles and get away with it. Unless you mean that you'll go to jail if you stalk Uma Thurman, because if that's the case then yes, you probably will get away with it - just like Jack Jordan, the man recently found guilty of being Uma Thurman's crazy stalker. Rather than jail, Jack Jordan has been given three years probation and some outpatient psychiatric treatment. In addition to this, Jack Jordan has been banned from any contact with Uma Thurman for five years. Which means that the unveiling of his masterwork Man Falling Off Giant Razorblade Into Grave Dug By Giggling Bride Uma Thurman (Oil On Canvas) has been pushed back to 2013, a bitter blow to lovers of creepy deranged art everywhere.
Some shocking news - that bloke who kept sending Uma Thurman creepy love letters and visiting her all the time? Turns out he's a stalker. That was the decision reached by the jury in a New York court yesterday, anyway, where Uma Thurman's stalker Jack Jordan was found guilty of stalking and harassing Thurman and immediately jailed pending his sentencing next month. But who's the real criminal here? Is it the man who systematically terrorised Uma Thurman by sending her pictures of headless brides and telling her that her children don't actually exist, or is it society? What? The first one? Yeah, that probably makes sense, actually.
Nobody really knows what women want, but we know what Uma Thurman doesn't want - creepy pictures of headless brides sent to her. And that's kind of a shame, because that's precisely the thing that Uma Thurman's crazed stalker misunderstood fan crazed stalker Jack Jordan happened to send her. Uma Thurman finally got her chance to testify in her court case against alleged stalker Jack Jordan yesterday, and took the chance to list all of the disturbing stuff that he'd sent her in the past. And most could agree that Uma Thurman gave a good performance on the stand. OK, a decent performance. Nobody walked out during it, at least. So, you know, it did better than Paycheck.
You know when you tell a girl that you love her and if she doesn't love you back you'll kill yourself? Yeah, apparently not such a great tactic. Maybe that's where we've been going wrong all these years. And not just us, either - Uma Thurman's alleged stalker Jack Jordan has fallen foul of this weird quirk of female nature as well. In court yesterday, Uma Thurman's mother described a phone call with Jordan where he said he'd kill himself if he and her daughter weren't predestined to be together. And, surprisingly enough, this didn't end in Uma Thurman leaping into Jack Jordan's arms and yelling "Oh kiss me, you great big psychologically-deranged schnookie-noogs!" Women, huh? Can't live with them, can't disturb them to the point of shrieking hysteria.
Jack Jordan, you've let us down. All that time you were stalking Uma Thurman in a number of imaginatively creepy ways, we thought you were being illegal. And now your lawyer is saying that you weren't being illegal in an effort to keep you out of jail? That is very disappointing, Jack Jordan. Very disappointing indeed. But on the plus side, if Jack Jordan is acquitted of his Uma Thurman stalking charges, it basically means that we're all legally free to send the object of our obsession terrifying hand-drawn pictures of ourselves walking along a razorblade while they eeirly dig our graves. Good lord, Martine McCutcheon had better hope that Jack Jordan is found guilty.
You might classify drawing a picture of yourself walking along a razorblade while Uma Thurman digs your grave, or threatening to kill yourself if you ever see see Uma Thurman with another man as 'quite mental'.
But Jack Jordan certainly wouldn't, no sirree. And that's a shame, because he's the man who was arrested and stands accused of recently doing both of those things to Uma Thurman. But there's a lifeline - prosecutors have offered Jack Jordan a plea deal that would mean he'd get a reduced sentence if he admits guilt to the charges of stalking and attempted coercion. The only problem there is that Jack Jordan would be spending the reduced sentence locked up in a mental institution. And since he claims he isn't mental, Jack Jordan has decided to reject it. But, come on, liking Uma Thurman? And he claims he isn't crazy?
Another Monday, eh? And what are you going to do with it?
Are you going to treat it as a fresh start, inject a spring to your step and take on the world with new and vigoured confidence? Or are you going to waste time arsing around on the internet in order to avoid paying attention to a job you hate, before going home and drinking three bottles of cornershop red wine and getting stoned while watching Buffy DVDs? Is that what you're going to do? Is it?
Sure it is. But don't worry - it does allow you the chance to play hecklerspray's Celebrity Haiku Competition.
This week our subject is movie-star-type Uma Thurman. First, though, let's have a wee gander at last week's winner...
