I don't know why, but late last night I started contemplating the state of Hugh Grant's hair. How does he manage to have such a perfect coif with all the turmoil going on in his life? Cheating on the beautiful Liz Hurley with an african american hooker who looked like a transvestite? Flinging a can of beans at a nosy reporter? (did I get that right? I need a fact checker...any volunteers). Releasing mediocre movie after mediocre movie. Always being cast as the foppish love interest (although really Colin Firth is a MUCH better actor). Watching his former supermodel ex girlfriend go on to have an incredibly lavish post HG career and marriage. Continuing to play the lead in silly romantic comedies, and when straying from that path, being mocked in the press for his inability to act in any other manner….Granted, he was rather cute in "Love Actually"...but it wasn't that Hugh Grant himself is so compelling...no, not by any stretch....it's his HAIR! Do you ever get the sense that Hugh Grant, much like Tom Cruise, just plays himself in movie after movie?
His hair has a mind of its own. It always has that perfect little wave in the front, that casually tousled look that you and I know takes hours and gallons of mousse to achieve. The wave that screams “I am just too cute, and even though I’m a grown man, I continue to trade in on my cuteness”
Of course, I guess it doesn’t hurt that he has perfect teeth. He might be the only man in England with such perfect teeth.

Wait - Liz Hurley has a career?! Wow, that passed me by. I thought the only 'career' she had was scouting rich guys to marry and selling her recent wedding snaps to a magazine. Oh, and Hugh is not a bad actor at all. Granted (no pun intended), he is typecast as the romantic lead, but so what? He's the best at it. Colin Firth has tried, but he really doesn't come close.
LOL, well, point taken! You are very right! She makes a career of being beautiful, and dating rich guys.
And maybe you are right about Hugh not being a bad actor; I just think he's too pretty (and therefore I infer that he is vain). Colin Firth is manly yet sophisticated (he will ALWAYS be Mr. Darcy just as Timothy Dalton will always be Mr. Rochester)....
