Jarvis Pulp: Time to stop fighting the hot

Britpop legends Pulp reunited on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon last night. They sounded good and nice but, man, frontman Jarvis Cocker is too old to fight the hot.

Here is Cocker, embracing his natural soap-opera-supervillan good looks in 1995:

And here's a screen grab from the video of last night's performance:
Eeeyikes. 

It's frustrating because there's still lots of hot there. Why is he fighting it? Dude is almost 50 years old. He needs to embrace every last ember while he can.

So what happened?
Jarvis didn't just fire his stylist - he divorced her. He split from wife Camille Bidault-Waddington in 2009. Sad times for fans of grooming. Because you know what? I'm such a big Jarvis Cocker fan I named my dog after him. Check out these pics of Jarvis the Cocker Spaniel. Here's a dog who knows how to maintain his glossy sheen.

Congratulations! You're having a Goldfish cracker.

Goldfish CrackersI can't say I'm surprised. Image by Crowbeak.Sasquatch via FlickrI don't want to tell people I'm pregnant before my first ultrasound because I don't want to tempt fate.

Even though I've taken, like, three pregnancy tests plus my doctor said I was for sure pregnant, you can never be too sure.

At the ultrasound, they could tell you that your guts are all full of amniotic fluid and pregnancy hormone but there's just a bunch of cysts and. No baby.

Your body's faking pregnancy.

Sucker.

Also: they could reveal that there is a baby in the fluid-filled fetal sac, but it's ectopic and now you are both going to explode and die.

There are all kinds of shitty scenarios that could come to light at the first ultrasound which could result in you having to turn around and revoke your pregnancy announcement and then people will think you're sterile and/or that you were just looking for attention.

And that you're an even bigger weirdo than they thought.

I'm afraid that they're going to tell me that my pregnancy is progressing quite nicely, that I'm pukey all day cause my hormones are totally kicking ass and they've helped me build one hell of a placenta, my boobs constantly feel like they've just been punched because my body's naturally preparing to nurture my offspring, and that the amniotic fluid surrounds the all-important baby.

But it is a baby goldfish.

And I look up on the monitor to see the ultrasound picture, and there it all is, my uterus, the sac, the fluids and shit, and then just a goldfish cracker.

And I say "Mmm. Looks tastee."

My husband's there, too. And the drive home is awkward.
