Roger & Bai Ling - It's Love!


I just sort of stumbled upon this new interview between Roger Ebert and International Crazy Lady Bai Ling, and... just wow, way to make my day bright.

Roger is, in the first place, completely smitten with her, it just oozes off the page. And Bai Ling is just balls out insane, yet again.

I just have to include this excerpt:

"She starts gabbing away like we're old friends, and I want to catch up on what's been happening since our last sleepover.

"I am on reality TV! New VH1 show! Named 'But Can They Sing?' Celebrity super pop stars, can they sing? They give you four days to learn song. Models, actors, can you sing? I am on with Joey Pants, Larry Holmes, Morgan Fairchild and Carmine Gotti. I tell them, have no trouble with Sinatra. 'The Way You Look Tonight,' no problem! You know what they want me to sing? 'Like a Virgin!' My God! Not my style! Show plays Oct. 30, at [9] p.m." She makes sure I write that down. "Be sure to watch! You have to vote for me! Can vote by phone, Internet, every way."

OK, so that's a plug. But she has already turned the plug into the parody of a plug, and now she hurtles ahead: "One day, I am begging them Sinatra, Sinatra, and they say can I sing old American song, 'McDonald Has Farm.' My God! I never heard of it. They teach me. I like the pig part. Oink oink here!"

She laughs so cheerfully it is all I can do to watch the oinking and not what happens to her dress when she oinks."

There are no words.
