Truth Is Hotter Than Fiction

It's no secret than one of my main goals in life is to be stranded on an island with Chris Carmack (Jerri Blank and I have a lot in common -- "Oh, Laird!"). And regular readers probably remember that I'm obsessed with the case of George Smith, the hunky preppy who went missing on his honeymoon cruise after a night of drinking and fighting with his bombshell bride, Jennifer Hagel Smith. So when I saw Chris was (sort of) playing George in an original Lifetime Movie Network called "Deadly Honeymoon," you can be sure I tuned in.

It was surprisingly well done -- the performances were good and they use a lot of the facts in the case and then take it a step further to decide what really happened. Yet even with Carmack -- who is beginning to look more and more like Casper Van Diem as he hits his 30s -- playing the fictionalized George ("Trevor"_ and pretty Summer Glau as wife "Lindsey," I have to say that this has to be the first film based on true life where the Hollywood actors might not have been as good-looking as the real people since David BerĂ³n and Billy Warlock foolishly attempted to play Erik and Lyle Menendez in "Honor Thy Father and Mother: The True Story of the Menendez Murders."

Killer looks
