Wierdness at the Globes

Tuesday January 13, 2009

It's just days into Mercury's retrograde in Aquarius, and celebs are letting it all hang out. At the Golden Globes, People Magazine reported on the Crazy Quotes like, I'm a tranny and Jennifer Lopez silencing the crowd with "Hello? Hello? Mama talking! Mama talking!" Comic actor Ricky Gervais zoomed across the taboo threshold, by making not one, but two jokes about the Holocaust. The first joke made more sense if you saw the episode of his show, The Extras, with guest star Kate Winslet. To the non-BBC watching audience, it was bizarre and off-color -- Gervais can thank Mercury retro as he tries to explain that.

Aquarius is a sign known to color outside the lines, blind to the usual agreed-upon conventions. At these awards events, the stars often look like they're just barely holding it together, and can't wait 'til it's over. But here we got a glimpse at the eccentricities they usually reserve for the after-party, courtesy of Mercury gone wild. It's never a dull moment when Aquarius is in the house, especially when spun in random directions by the trickster Mercury.
