Mika: Ready For His Close-Up

Quick update here. A faithful reader named Bogdan took the time to write in with a massive scoop on M. to the Hakkinen. According to some Romanian tabloid, the All-Time King of Speed is to co-star with some gal in a major motion picture called Luger, to be shot in the aforesaid country.

Bogdan explains:

“…Her appearance will be highlighted by a 4 wheel "jewel", a Ferrari from the '80's. And I quote again from the magazine, "She drives a car to match her beauty- a red ferrari. For such a car the blonde will have a matching partner, formula1 driver, Mika Hakkinen". Well I didn't really understand if H will drive the ferrari (ohh nooo) or if he will shoot the dumb blonde or throw rotten tomatoes at her. The article didn't say...”

Tomatoes or no, I feel certain that “Luger” will be liberally sprinkled with Palmes d’Or next year at Cannes. Can’t wait!

Here are some scans from the magazine, courtesy of Bogdan:
