CB and I were just chatting about Ralph Fiennes and whether or not he’s creepy. CB is definitely in the “hell yes, that man is too good at playing creeps to not be one himself” category. I’m in the “but he’s so pretty, and so talented, he would marry me if he ever met me and I bet he’s a freak in the sack” category. I don’t really understand how people cannot love Ralph Fiennes, even after that unfortunate incident back in 2007 involving a flight attendant, a airplane bathroom, and no condom. Sigh. Never before had I wanted to be an unfortunate-looking flight attendant.

Anyway, my original immortal beloved Ralph is vacationing in St. Tropez with his dear friend Liam Neeson. I wonder who had the idea to vacation together? Did Liam ask Ralph to come, or did Ralph suggest a holiday? They seem to be having a good time – Ralph more than Liam, because Ralph seems to be smiling in most of these pictures. Ralph looks great in that blue shirt, too. Yummy.

It looks like they might have a couple of young women with them too – but I’m not jumping to conclusions. I think I see one of Liam’s sons, so those girls could be Liam’s sons’ girlfriends or friends. My favorites of this group of pictures are the ones of Ralph and Liam sitting under some kind of shade, looking at something out of frame. I like how they’re sitting together, pretty close. It says to me “We’re men, we gossip at the beach like everyone else, whatever.”

Ralph seems to have been a major part of Liam’s support system after Natasha’s death this past March. Ralph and Liam have been close friends since they worked together on Schindler’s List in 1992, and Ralph was also very close to Natasha. I think it’s really cool that Ralph’s stepped up in a big way to help Liam through a difficult time. And I just love a good bromance at the beach!

Owen Wilson and Woody Harrelson have a WEIRD relationship. And not a little weird, where maybe they call each other and talk on the phone for hours like teenage girls. But the kind of relationship where they strip off all their clothes and go swimming together. Well at least one of them does. Continuing on last week’s theme of the “bromance,” we have Woody Harrelson’s trip to visit friend Owen Wilson on the Florida set of “Marley & Me.” And what good is a vacation if you have to keep your pants on?

Woody Harrelson cools off in the hot Florida sun with an impromptu skinny dip with actor friend Owen Wilson. The Natural Born Killers star, 46, has been hanging out with the Wedding Crashers actor, 39, in Miami while Wilson films his latest movie Marley & Me in the Sunshine State. While Wilson seems content to bathe in his shorts, free spirit Harrelson strips off to his birthday suit as he leaps into the Atlantic.

On Saturday, the actors had front row seats to watch Serena Williams beat Serbia’s Jelena Jankovic, and reclaimed their prime position on Sunday to see Russia’s Nikolay Davydenko win against Spain’s Rafael Nadal. After spending hours under the blazing sun watching the centre court action, Harrelson couldn’t wait to get back to his Miami waterfront home and rid himself of his sweaty clothing.

After enjoying a dip in Miami Bay, Harrelson climbed out of the Atlantic for a naked work-out on his private dock. As he hoisted himself out of the water, Harrelson showed his tan wasn’t quite all over as he flashed his white backside. Despite his tan lines, the 46-year-old cut an impressive figure as he stretched and did press-ups in the nude.

By pretty much all accounts Owen Wilson is doing much better since his suicide attempt in August. But I can’t help but think that seeing Woody Harrelson’s naked ass doesn’t help things very much. Harrelson and Wilson have been close for a long time, and both seem to share an equally laid back approach to life. When describing an average day in his life, Harrelson noted, “’Every day I swim, I surf, climb coconut trees, play with my kids, eat mangoes. There’s no form to it, which I kind of like.” He and Wilson really are the hippie equivalent of Clooney and Pitt.
