De Burgh Buys Chestbuster
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…”
