One thing I?ve learned as a husband is this: if your wife tells you her dress is yellow and it really is orange, like Home Depot orange, you say, ??honey, that?s a pretty YELLOW dress.?
There?s a reason why women live longer than us men. I?m just trying to catch up.
Armed with that knowledge, I held the hand of the pistol also known as Salma Hayek, helping her up the steps of our platform at last night?s ?Poseidon? premiere and told her she looked fabulous in her purple outfit.
Her beautiful dark eyes quickly narrowed as she gave me the LOOK and said, ?Tony, it?s blue?.
And for some reason I said, ?No?the carpet is blue, you are wearing purple. (The carpet was blue for the ?Poseidon? premiere-think: water.)
Suddenly, all my ?husband training? had gone out the ?window of reason? and left me framed into a situation where I was arguing colors with one of the most beautiful, talented and fun women in Hollywood.
Damn! Just lost six months off my life.
And, yes, the fun continued.
You see, in true husband idiocy, I dug myself a bigger hole.
Because I then asked Salma if she and ?Poseidon? star Josh Lucas were ?secretly married?. (They used to date?and are probably dating again.)
She gave me the LOOK…again?and then laughed.
I think she realized I?d lost yet another six months and she was going to live much longer than me?looking splendid in whatever she wears?in any color?especially purple.
