Harrison Ford's Fame Audit

Harrison Ford; Drawing - Fametracker.comAha! Fametracker posted its Fame Audit of Harrison Ford, with unerring timing after our Friday post, Harrison Ford, Gothamist Doesn't Know You Anymore. Gothamist wholeheartedly agrees with the audit, but would like that it's a testament to Ford's skill that he convincingly acts like he really likes Melanie Griffith in Working Girl.

Gothamist asked Fametracker if they had heard our cry; they gently told us no, mumble mumble great minds some something maybe. They did agree with the Melanie Griffith point. "We almost mentioned in the Fame Audit the fact that Harrison Ford had to sit and listen to one of the worse lines in movie history -- 'I've got a mind for business and a bod for sin' -- delivered by one of the worst actresses in movie history -- Melanie Griffith -- and he didn't crack up or anything. " Amen.

Re: Harrison Ford's "dumbest-looking earring in all the whole wide world," according to Fametracker.com.

Let us not forget about two sports celebrities who have sported stupid earrings for way, way too long: Barry Bonds and Lawrence Taylor. Then again, owning God-like athletic ability never meant God gave you fashion sense as well. Or, in the case of LT, common sense.

LT has at least had the sense to dangle something so horrifically revolting off his ear that it actually gave him personality (Think about Mr. T only wearing a tasteful single gold strand). Ford’s actions are more senseless because his earring actually detracts from his personality. I mean, Indiana Jones, with an earring. Think about it? Really think. How would Indiana Jones react to getting his ear pierced?

after seeing him walking down madison last week i can personally attest to the unhipness of his earring. first, it was quite large, which is definitely not cool- it accentuated his old man ears. second, it was in marked contrast to his short haircut- a jarring contrast.

Harrison Ford has long said that he will take any role as long as they pay his fee, regardless of how good (or bad) the scrip is. With an attitude like that, he almost deserves the stinker roles he's been getting lately.

Right - that's exactly why he won't do independent movies, so he's whoring himself with Josh Hartnett.

As for the earring, let me put it this way: Think about it as if your dad was getting an earring. Even if your dad is the coolest dad in the world, do you really want him to embarrass himself with an earring?

Holy jeez! I didn't realize he was in his sixties already! I figured 53, 54, maybe.

Also, to add insult to earring injury, Harrison has kids who are 37. And Calista is 38. Sorta ick, I think.

Yeah, sorta, but what's more disturbing is that it's Calista. Like Melissa Mathieson, she was cool, even though she had an affair with Francis Ford Coppola while she was baby-sitting Sofia and Roman.

i think harrison ford is the hottest guy on the planet and i love everything about him inclding his earing. i love you harrison!!
