So, Joss Stone here is currently playing Anne of Cleves in The Tudors on Showtime (I don't know why I always have to call it, "The Tudors on Showtime" but I think it's because the ads always scream the "SHOWTIME" part so it really has wormed itself into my brain. You're welcome, Showtime). And the whole time I am watching her episodes, I keep thinking, "This is terrible casting." Anne of Cleves is supposed to be rather unattractive (although there is some disagreement about this by scholars, the SHOW is also implying that she is kind of gross-looking) but Joss Stone, whatever you may think of her, is a totally cute girl. So it sort of takes me out of the moment. As does the fact that Jonathan Rhys Meyers still has a six-pack even though Henry VIII is supposed to be like hugely fat at this point in history, but as far as that goes, I mostly just spend my time being grateful that Showtime has decided to go for abs over accuracy. Considering that The Tudors is a COMPLETE SOAP OPERA -- there is a dude with an eye patch and everything -- that was the right creative decision. Anyway, here is Ms Stone, out of her period garb:
SIGH. Honey, that looks like you bought it for $45.50 at one of those stores in the mall that carry solely mini-dresses made of flammable material. That's great for a night out with the girls (I guess -- at a certain point in one's life you sort of stop buying things that could catch on fire too easily but she's not there yet. I would wager Joss Stone may still be young enough that it seems like a good idea to take a flaming shot of Jager. Ah, youth. Enjoy it while it lasts) but a bit low budg-looking for Cannes, don't you think? Maybe next time, save this for Vegas and do Cannes up a little bit, kid.
