Ricky Gervais' Botox dog

24-10-2008 06:00

Ricky Gervais claims he injected his dog with Botox.The 'Ghost Town' actor said the cosmetic treatment - which smoothes wrinkles - made it impossible for his beloved pet to move its face.He joked: "I gave my Labrador Botox injections, now it has a shiny face. It looks lovely. It can't smile or talk as well. Well, it could never really talk - dogs can't talk. "I never licked salt off its tummy though. You know like those salt lickers, people that work out, like I do, and go, 'I just need some salt.' I have never licked a dog's tummy."The British comedian - who claims he works out every day so he can "eat more cheese and wine" - is such a fan of cuddling canines that his dream would be to fly around wearing a jet-pack and hugging one of the animals.He added to BBC Radio 1: "If I had a jet-pack holding a small dog I would never want anything else in the whole world."People would shout, 'Look, there's little dog boy!'

Roberto: good grief man, get yourself a sense of humour. Do you think Ricky REALLY meant that he wants to fly around with a jetpack and a small dog? Perhaps it is a language problem? ... READ MORE

Good heavens. Will Americans believe everything? Are they really that stupid?

Apparently the answer is yes. To both questions......
