Flame-haired man-child will have Kate Beckinsale's soul
I'm just curious. What the hell is going on in this picture of Kate Beckinsale posing on le red carpet?
Kate looks amazing, as usual. But there, in the background. What is happening with the little man with the flaming red afro and carefully crossed arms staring Kate down? He scares the crap out of me, in the way that Suri "Devil Eyes" Cruise does.
I have a feeling we're going to be seeing this unfortunate child Photoshopped into different scenarios all over the Internet, like Disaster Girl. Remember her? She was just an innocent child standing in front of a house that caught fire, but soon she was responsible for everything from Lincoln's assassination to Britney Spears' disastrous 2007 VMA performance:
Don't try to tell me children aren't evil.

Wow, I totally missed the Disaster Girl meme, but that's terrifyingly creepy.
Yeah, I don't know what's up with the red-headed kid though. He definitely appears to look like he's up to know good.

Okay, so I read the post. Went on about my daily business and had to keep coming back to that picture. That can't be a real child. There is something very Chucky about him. Also a little 'My Buddy' dollish. I don't want to go to sleep tonight.

"he's up to know good"
adam, you're better than that.
hmac, i've looked @ this picture over and over. the kid totally seems like he's destined for fame on teh internets.

I'm glad you said it, Ed. I thought maybe Adam was trying to be clever in a way I didn't understand. Like "knowing good" means knowing Kate Beckinsale -- in that special way.
Ed and Clavius! are correct: Child is the devil's right hand.

I've never heard of this "Diaster Girl," but I find her and the red-haired man-child highly amusing. HIGHLY.

Apologies for my most grievous oversight.
I think it's safe for you to assume that I'll do my darnedest to never, ever make another typographical error.
You no how I roll.

Thanks Mike Oz and MsJoey.
I feel kind of bad for the kid, but, speaking as a fellow follically-challenged, red-haired American, the taunts can only make him stronger. So sayeth Firecrotch.

Congrats on the mention Hmac.
And why is it that all red headed boys are just plain freaky looking?
Posted by: Michael at January 5, 2009 12:04 PM
@Michael: Um. They're not, jerk.
Posted by: Heather at January 5, 2009 12:10 PM
I wouldn't necessarily say that the boy by himself is freaky looking. It's his presence at the red carpet, appearing to be alone and unconnected to those around him, standing on the barricade, with the expression on his face.
Posted by: adam at January 5, 2009 12:13 PM
@ Hmac.Ok, fine. All red head boys WITHOUT royal blood are freaky looking.
Sheesh.

Sorry for the "jerk" comment, Michael.

When did Ham Porter have a kid?
Was this kid there to pitch Kate a movie idea: "Sandlot the Next Generation"

I've been called worse things. Most I can't repost here.
And I wasn't offended, I took it as a compliment of sorts.
I do agree with you adam, that his presence there is unsettling. But redheaded boys have always freaked me out. I'm just glad that my italian genes dominated my irish genes in that aspect, otherwise I would have freaked myself out.
