Kevin Bacon Needs A Job

Somebody give Kevin Bacon a job! And not a blow job! Well, unless you're going to pay top dollar for it. Seriously, can't they write him into the Footloose remake? Or maybe a network can buy BACON'D? Something! Kevin is just not bringing home the bacon the way he used to (GONG!). The bitch needs money.

Kevin and his wife person, Kyra Sedgwick, found themselves swindled by Bernie Madoff. They say they lost everything but the money in their checking accounts and their houses. Kevin told Life & Style that he needs work, "We'll march on. We have to. There's nothing you can do about it. You can't change what happened. Things could be worse. You remember that, and you go on with your life. I didn't see it coming. I don't have anything lined up right now, but I need to work, for obvious reasons."

Kyra has money coming in from The Closer. But Kevin's last gig was that Frosty Snowman/Nixon movie.

Ok, what about a Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon game show hosted by the man himself. I'd watch that shit. Let's play it now! Shall we? I'll start:

1. I know a bitch.
2. This bitch knows Justin Theroux's dog sitter.
3. Justin Theroux's dog sitter obviously knows Justin Theroux.
4. Justin Theroux was in Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle with Shia LaDouche.
5. Shia LaDouche was in New York, I Love You with KEVIN BACON!

Voila. I am separated from Kevin Bacon by 5 degrees. It's your turn. You can use this hot website to help you. I'm sure all of you will beat my ass. 5 is pretty weak.

I have a picture of my wife's (1) great aunt (2) having cocktails with Roger Moore (3) who voice acted with Neve Campbell (4) in Agent Crush, who was in Wild things with Senor BACON (5).

UPDATE: ok fine: I went to dinner several times with my wife's great aunt. So i knew her (1), she knew him (2), who worked with her (3), who screwed over the man himself in the movie Wild Things (4). One less.

hahaha. Clever but a tad tenuous. You could just say, "I saw Footloose," then.

It came from the movie "Six Degrees of Separation" with Will Smith and Donald Sutherland. The theory was that everyone in the world is separated from everyone else by, at most, 6 degrees. Interesting movie. Kevin Bacon rhymes with 'Separation'. I could Google the Kevin Bacon thing and find out who started it but that would leave nothing for you to do. :)

Anyone know how the 6 Degrees of Kevin Bacon started? The fact that website exists almost scares me. It's the lovechild of fear and awe, really.

Yup, you win!

What would be really cool is if we could calculate 6 degrees of MK.

Angel i, are you sure? If you know someone who had a brush with someone famous, you just plug in the famous person's name and count 2 extra, for yourself and your friend. I have people who have met David Duchovny, Mel Gibson and Anthony Hopkins, so that also puts me within 6 degrees of Bacon. That's a nifty little gadget!

Speaking not only as an adviser in the financial industry but also as a person that actually gives a shit about other people, Bernie Madoff should be strung up by his balls, tarred, feathered, and then beat to death by every person that he fucked over.
