James Purefoy cares about me: Ricky Gervais, not so much

@ rosalita54 Maybe.... Maybe not.. — James Purefoy (@JamesPurefoy) April 9, 2013 Okay, okay. I may be an old broad but I still get excited when I get a nice Tweet from a cool actor. James Purefoy, the star of The Following , had just wrapped the season and tweeted about it. The Following is a must see for anyone who loves serial killers, especially hot ones, which are in short supply these days. Purefoy's character, Joe Carroll, is a sinister killer, in the tradition of Charles Manson, who has a cult following of cops, nannies and fauxmosexuals. He's terrific in the role.

A self-professed athiest, Ricky only replies to hate Tweets from Godseekers. Apparently.

But when they got down and dirty at APEC, Barry showed Steve-o the hand. He might even have farted in his general direction. Not much of a bromance when you come right down to it. Harper seems not to understand how little Canada means to the rest of the world. Except for our comedy. And our music. And even in those arenas, the Brits are gaining on us. Goodbye SCTV , Hello, The Office . Goodbye David Foster . Hello Simon Cowell . About the only things Americans respect us for are our cheap drugs and our looney-tune acrobats. And Lorne Michaels. Anyway. Steve-o should take some tips from former prime ministers to improve our influence south of the border. The Yanks hated Trudeau. But damn it, they respected him. He shunned Reagan, but he dated Barbra Streisand. He was too cool. And left them wanting more. Mul...
