Now that Britney Spears is a single woman again, she already has at least one potential beau: Hugh Hefner.

The 77-year-old Playboy founder said he's interested in adding the pop singer to his bevy of beautiful blonde girlfriends.

"Britney would make a great girlfriend," Hefner told Us Weekly magazine for its Jan. 19 issue.

"Picasso had his pink period and his blue period. I am in my blonde period right now," he said. "I think it's related to those early movies that had such a great influence on me when I was a kid."

Hefner said he'd also like to see the 22-year-old Spears appear as a Playmate, as well as Catherine Zeta-Jones.

"They really epitomize the type of beauty that we like in the magazine," he said.

Spears got married in an impromptu Las Vegas ceremony early Saturday morning, then filed for an annulment 55 hours later. The groom, Jason Allen Alexander, is a childhood friend of hers from Kentwood, La.

I have copies of all the Fawlty Towers shows and drive my wife nuts with them. They are always good for the restoration of ones sense of humor. BTW the Major and his extremely British explanation of the difference betweem the Indians and the West Indians was a classic.

the indians and the west indians? I missed that. Please let me know...

One night I was visiting my parents and we were watching the "Basil the Rat" episode. My mother and I were laughing so hard we woke my hard-of-hearing father; he was sleeping at the other end of the house.

I am glad to note that there are a few of us who have such an impeccable sense of humor.There is a video out by BBC (title:Fawlty Towers) that has an interview of Cleese. He goes into the creation and filming of the show. It is worth seeing.He talks about the actors and their contributions to the show.

Is that the one where he says that Basil Fawlty was a TERRIBLE PERSON ?
