Audrey Hepburn! Shes so glamourous, but I guess im a little prejuduce because I love Audrey, shes my ultimate role model.
I suppose nothing good can last forever. After five great seasons, the hilarious spy spoof Get Smart ends on a not-so-high note.
That’s not to say that this isn’t a bad season, far from it, but here you can really see that the writers had done pretty much everything they could with the show. I know many point to Season Four (which you can read here ) as the beginning of the show’s downward turn, but none of the episodes in that season struck me as being weak, unlike this one.
Some of the episodes suffer from weak concepts, such as “The Apes of Rath,” which seems to be a bizarre take on Poe’s “Murders on the Rue Morgue”; or “Hello Columbus, Goodbye America,” about a descendant of Christopher Columbus who shows up with a document naming him rightful owner of the United States. And other episodes just feel weak in execution, especially the two-part “House of Max” where Max and 99 travel to London to investigate a series of crimes committed by wax dummies.
Would you believe…Barbara Feldon turned down the role of 99 on Get Smart?
It’s not a punchline but the answer is yes. She didn’t want to move from New York and didn’t want to be tied down for five years. Other actresses were tested but producers went back to her, saying she’d only be committed to two years. And, of course, she ended up playing the role for all five seasons on the spy comedy.
That’s just part of what Feldon disclosed in a 2007 an Archive of American Television interview. She also discussed her role in a guest shot on The Man From U.N.C.L.E. and how it was almost like preparing her for Get Smart. “You’re not asking me to repeat this silly script,” she says at one point about the U.N.C.L.E. episode, The Never-Never Affair, which is actually one of the best installments of that series.
“I’m sure Man From U.N.C.L.E. influenced Get Smart, she says. “I think Buck (Henry) once said it was just taking (it) a little further. There was the Bond series and there was Man From U.N.C.L.E. then you go all the way out.” Buck Henry collaborated with Mel Brooks on the pilot and would be story editor the show’s first two seasons.
All of the ’60s spy stuff starts shortly after the 18:00 mark of this video:

Christina Aguilera Is Washed Up
Christina Aguilera Is Washed Up
Here’s Christina Aguilera ringing in the New Year at Tao nightclub. We haven’t seen much Xtina, ever since she had kids, but this new look of hers isn’t working for me. Her funbags look deflated and the rest of her body looks like it belong to a 35 year old crack whore. I don’t even want to ask how much? See more pictures now!!!

Molly Sims Bikini Pictures
The last time I had pictures of Molly Sims on the site she was doing some weird sh#t with her puppies and I remember thinking that that was the end of her hotness. Well, I’m glad that she’s decided to prove me wrong by prancing around and shaking her ass in her little bikini. How thoughtful. See more pictures now!!!

Lindsay Lohan Swimsuit Pictures
If you ask me, there’s not much in this mixed up world more enjoyable than to watch a hot chick try on swimsuits in a sexy pair of heels. Here’s Lindsay Lohan and her delicious chesticles doing just that. I have to say that I’m impressed, if I were there I’d pay for the damn thing myself. After I came to, of course, because chances are all my blood would have quickly rushed from my head causing me to pass out like a gay guy at a Jonas Brothers concert See more pictures now!!!

Kate Hudson And Her Milky White Thighs!!
I don’t really know what Kate Hudson is doing in these pictures, but I’m glad she decided to do it in a short little skirt. I know it kinda looks like a sixty year old hippy’s sundress, but I like her sexy legs so who gives a shit. Although, a little sun wouldn’t hurt. I’m still annoyed that she hasn’t done something about her boobs, or lack there of. This is Hollywood baby, everybody does it. I wonder how many times she’s heard that before.

Amber Rose Is Out Of This World
Here’s Kanye West’s girlfriend/thing Amber Rose out in West Hollywood. I’m not going to lie, if Aliens touched down on Earth and they looked like this, I’d probably hit it, but for now the unknown scares me. Who am I kidding, I’d still hit that, as long as it doesn’t have teeth on its privates.
