Is she Italian or Spanish?
She is a dual citizen of the US and Italy. She told Jon Stewart in an interview that she sometimes travels on her Italian passport.

My Cousin Vinny was a great movie, but she was also so adorable in Only You with Robert Downey jr.

Marisa Tomei was obviously made up to look the part of a mature stripper but she still has it going on . My question is WTF happened to Mickey Rourke's face ?
Rourke and Tomei are two of my favorite actors; that's why, even though it's a depressing movie, I'll watch The Wrestler again.

Here are some facts about Mickey Rourke:

He has been dealing with rage issues regarding his brutal step-father. Recently his step-father attempted to refute Rourke's claims of physical abuse and got promptly shot down by Rourke's sister and step-sister.

As he was gaining success in the 80's, Rourke started abusing drugs and alcohol. His solution to the problem was to give up acting and become a professional boxer - also directors could no longer tolerate his violent temper. In order to rehabilitate himself, Rourke had to hit rock bottom; that happened in 2002 when Rourke got knocked out by Chuck Zito at the Manhattan strip club Scores. Zito portrayed Chucky "The Enforcer" Pancamo in the HBO series Oz. Ever since that cathartic event Rourke has sought help for his rage and has taken acting seriously again.

Thank you Chuck:

My understanding is that it was Van Dam who Zito ko'ed at scores. Either way he knocking out movie tough guys which is always good with me. As for the lovely Marisa I would spank her monkey any day of the week.

Zito has talked about knocking out JCVD but he's kept silent about Rourke. Former Scores bouncer and now radio personality Gumba Johnny talked about it on the Howard Stern Show last month. Zito hasn't refuted his story. I asked my NJ cousin if there was any truth to the story and he said it was old news in NYC.

Speaking of Scores, is it true that they recently went bankrupt? I used to travel to NYC fairly often but found Scores way too snobbish for my taste.

I remember hearing that years ago too. Never knew if there was truth to it or not. I know for a fact that Rourke was an asshole back then. He had many episodes at his own club called the spot, which he owned in Miami. As far as Zito goes, he was a bit of a shit head in his day too. Had an attitude and fought allot. But he was also humbled badly about 10 years ago when a then 45 year old legionary boxer named Roberto Duran slapped him around outside a NYC night club.

She was also in a movie last year called, 'Before the Devil Knows You're Dead" where she's topless and lovely.

George Castanza was right all along. :) She is hot.
I think this was one of his easier calls. Still, it's scary how often George was right.

I'm much better looking and don't fight. I'm a lot more like this guy.
My 30 year old computer is acting up again. I saw two guys in that clip. Which one is you? Also, who should we get to play your girlfriend?

Do I seem cool enough to be Will Smith? Gee thanks! Fortunately, I'm like the other guy, the one with character. As to who would play my GF, well my last one looked a lot like a cross between Kelly Ripa and Claire Danes, though some might disagree.
