Anybody see Alexis Arquette on BBC 2's "Ruby" last night? For those who don't know, "Ruby" is a late-night talk show hosted by Ruby Wax, who is an incredibly witty and funny American comedienne. Not Jay Leno-funny but funny-funny. I believe she lives and works in Britain, and isn't too well-known in the States (is this true?). On her show she has dinner every night with three famous guests sitting across her. It's really intimate and different. There's not even an audience (I think). Anyway, last night she had CCA's brother-in-law at the table and he was quite funny too. He told about his biggest talent which was giving himself...euhm...a blowjob. He even demonstrated with a Perrier bottle. And he also had a funny anecdote about going along with Courtney and David to a zen-type therapist who was to help them quit smoking. "This guy cracked me up. He would like sneeze on them while mumbling some words and that was supposed to help them not smoke. Sometimes Courtney would be really desperate for a cigarette and call him, and he would sneeze on her through the phone." The other guest was Lucille Ball's daughter and the third one I don't remember. Also found this piece of info on Alexis: "Arquette posed as the Hindu god Krishna for a controversial cover for Genre Magazine (a gay men's publication)." Is he famous in America?

AFAIK. She's been living here about 20 years and is married to Ed Bye, veteran tv comedy producer/director. Some might say that is why she was featured in such programmes as Girls on Top (before they married) and Red Dwarf (since). Sceptical people unconvinced of her amazing acting talents, of course...

I think this dinner party show works much better than most of her previous efforts, to be fair.

which one? The loud one, or the one who makes films with CCA's colleague's husband?
