Red Carpet Jane
Alert Janeite I. Miller sent us this bit of silliness, which amused us not a little.
Look out, Ashton & Demi, you’ve got competition for the title of Coolest Cougar Courtship! Having already conquered the hearts, minds and loins of thousands of sci-fi and soap opera fans, Nathan Fillion, the latest addition to ABC’s Desperate Housewives prime-time sudser, appears to be dipping his toe, among other things, into the literary world with his hot and heavy romance with 19th century novelist, Jane Austen.
Miss Austen, or as she prefers to be known these days, J.Aus. (sounds like “Joss”), may be nearly 200 years older than her new boytoy, but that age difference appears to be no impediment for the happy couple. After all, Fillion’s fans from his One Life to Live days know very well that Nate’s got a taste for mature women. Not to mention the fact that Miss Austen has clearly been spending some time with Ms. Moore’s “personal trainer” (*cough*plastic surgeon*cough*).
“Sounds like Joss,” indeed.

Oh my.
Does this count for listing Fillion as a Friend of Jane?
