Cloris Leachman Wants to Strap On Her Oscar with John Stamos
Filed under: Awards, Celebrities and Controversy, Newsstand, NSFW
First we had Sarah Silverman singing about f*cking Matt Damon, then Jimmy Kimmel had his turn with Damon's BFF, Ben Affleck. Now we have something even better: octogenarian actress and Academy Award-winner Cloris Leachman (who still looks damn good, thank you very much) getting all raunchy at a Comedy Central roast for Bob "Full House" Saget, threatening to get it on with "pretty boy" John Stamos on a "filthy bean bag chair" while using her Best Supporting Actress Oscar as a strap-on. There's a mental picture that'll take weeks to get out of your brain cells.
Maybe it's just the hilarity of seeing the stately Leachman talking about going after Stamos -- or perhaps even Jon Lovitz -- and then segueing seamlessly into a bit about performing a "reach-around" on Jack Benny that makes this so funny. I can't imagine it would have the same impact being said by, say, Tilda Swinton or Cate Blanchett. Anyhow, Leachman was way funnier than all the lame jokes about Saget having sex with the Olsen twins. She's still got it -- now, if only Tarantino would cast her in something as an ass-kicking, foul-mouthed granny ...

Cloris was so right on and hysterical. She did a lot for the aging population because she is in tune, full of life and fun, and bitingly witty. I wish she was my best friend!!!

She looks great!!! and funny as hell-one of the best on tyhe roast.... it's all about that old-school TIMING..
And -- another great commercial for a long-time vegetarian lifestyle. Laugh at it, make fun, ignore it, but bottom line is it works and she is reaping the benefits. And fellow vegetarian Benjamin Franklin had QUIITE a bit to say about older women and the bonuses that await those who venture there...!
