From the Most Surreal News of the Day department, I read this morning that British shlock-meister Chris de Burgh has purchased the little latex alien that burst out of John Hurt’s chest during dinner on board the Nostromo.
He paid just under £29,875 at a London auction for the piece which was seen bursting from John Hurt’s chest. Auctioneers Bonhams had estimated the piece would fetch around £12,000.
I can just picture him waltzing around his palatial home with the little guy…”I have never seen you looking so lovely as you did tonight…”

He’s not British! To our shame he’s Irish. Lives in Dalkey and shagged his nanny. The wife stuck with him. Send his kids to a posh school that had to beg him for some money as they were about to go broke. He paid but demanded a seat on the board or something.
