You know, the Blogosphere is a wonderful place.
One night an ordinary woman sitting in her Sydney lounge room happens to mention she's struggling for inspiration for her very silly online drinking game, and the next thing you know people from all over the country, and indeed all over the world, are offering to help.
If only we could turn this energy to the forces of good!
But we can't - so let's keep it with the forces of silliness instead.
The latest in a continuing series of Stealing-Other-People's-Ideas-For-RSM is from KT at Kamsarmer who came up with the idea of "Famous Progeny".
Famous kids of famous parents. Sometimes they're human traffic accidents (Drew Barrymore, Lisa Presley). Sometimes they rise beyond anything one could have imagined from their early and weirdly vampiric youths (Angelina Jolie - John Voight's daughter). Sometimes they just seriously suck, no matter how much money and influence daddy or mummy can throw their way (Julio Iglesias junior, anyone?).
Without further ado, let's have at the young and pretty children of the formerly young and pretty, shall we?
(For newbies, the Root, Shoot or Marry Rules are here).
Famous boy-childs
Jakob Dylan, son of Bob
Not sure I'd really call him pretty but KT recommended him for the eyes, which are, without a doubt, piercing.
Kiefer Sutherland, son of Donald.
I can't look at him without thinking of Donald as the Watcher in the first Buffy the Vampire Slayer movie. What a shocker.
And finally, a special Australian inclusion, Julian McMahon
Son of the lovely Lady Sonia McMahon, she of the amazing split to the thigh dresses of the 1970s... Oh yeah, also the son of Sonia's husband, the Prime Minister Billy (Sir William) McMahon and former husband of Danniiiiii Minogue and therefore former brother-in-law of Our Kylie.
Famous girl-childs
Kate Hudson, daughter of Goldie Hawn
And isn't that a Goldie pose?
Liv Tyler, daughter of Steve Tyler (as all you Aerosmith obsessed women insist on telling me every time I mention her in either her elvish or human form)
And last, but not weirdest, Gwyneth Paltrow, daughter of Blythe Danner
Just a little note to the world here: is it really so bad to call your daughter Apple when your mother "Blythe" chooses to name you "Gwyneth"?? I'm just sayin'...
So off you go, players - root 'em, shoot 'em or marry 'em, and feel free to share your thoughts on the benefits -or otherwise - of being born to famous parents...
