This just in: Jamaican-born disco diva & James Bond villainess Grace Jones "can't stand" Sarah Palin

Jamaican-born disco diva Grace Jones arrives at the Q music awards in London on October 6. Jones has said she was sorry Hillary Clinton had failed to make the cut in the US election and that she "can't stand" folksy vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin. (AFP/File/Max Nash)

3. I still have a tape I bought in 1988 of hers. I

will try to find it because I remember I really liked it. She also played a bit part in a movie with Harrison Ford and Betty Buckley set in France. I wish I could remember the name of that movie. One of the songs on the tape is in the movie.

4. I thought she was one of the best Bond villains in one of the worst Bond movies

Moore looked terrible...huffed and puffed his way through the film (he was always my least-favorite Bond anyway). Christopher Walken as the main bad guy sounds a lot better on paper...not exactly his greatest performance. Tanya Robert's acting...and I use that term loosely...made her Charlie's Angels gig look like Shakespeare in the Park.

But Grace was excellent.

7. I bloody ADORE Grace Jones. Huge part of my 70's/80's yoof...

SO LET IT BE SAID! IT'S OFFICIAL!!!

For all her wonderful wackyness, outrageousness, quirkyness, and fabulous music over the past thirty years, the Divine Miss Grace Jones has proved she's really not so "out there" after all; rather, she's JUST ONE OF US: she can smell the stink of a "fraud" "Woman" like Sarah Palin from an ocean away!

Of course, we always knew she was just one of us. Thank you Miss Jones.

8. When you lose the Grace Jones endorsement, you're screwed. There's no

coming back from that. Unless Ray Parker Jr. turns against you too.

12. Oh no! Not Ray Parker Jr.!!

LOL :rofl:

Between him and Grace Jones, that must be a grand total of what -- THREE hits??

Although "Pull Up to my Bumper, Baby" was QUITE the jam about 25 years ago... ((humming softly and boogying in my seat))
