Maybe his wife was too busy saying "What's new pussycat?" when he was on the road to care.

This is my penis typing. Notice how legible it is, with each key deftly located and pressed?

Now, Tom Jones typing with his penis: aetaetaetaethgset8hbsfgvweh (that was the letter "a.")

Mystery of why she puts up with him solved!

I figure partners of famous people have an agreement. Each can sleep with whomever they want just don't flaunt it in the other person's face.

I have the urge to go watch "Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels" after watching this. I don't know why, maybe because he's so badass.

And then there's Marlene Dietrich and her husband, they had an open marriage. They not only slept with other people, they'd bring those people on vacation together. Sometimes Marlene brought a man, sometimes a woman, and her husband brought his girlfriend. Oh and she wrote letters to her husband about her various romances and lovers. Yes he was that cool with it.

But Tom's wife is all you'd ever want. She's the kind you'd like to flaunt and take to dinner.

People can have any sort of weird arrangement they like in their marriage; if it works for them, fine. But I don't want my man screwing around. I don't want to sleep with anyone else, but if he does, I DON'T EVER WANT TO FIND OUT ABOUT IT.

How many wives, after 52 years, can still use their husband's head as a scouring pad for the kitchen sink?

Yay! My 400th greenlight!

Hmm. This is relevant to my interests.

NOT.

The guy has had a long and great career, and manages to still be great while pushing 70.

In a business that's rife with drugs and alcohol, he's managed to stay reasonably sober. He's never attacked a paparazzi. He's been pretty liberal with spending time with his fans, and not just the sexy women fans that he's bonked.

He's pretty much a class act, and if his wife is ok with it, then more power to both of them! Relationships don't always fall into neat little categories.

Getting off my soapbox now, wishing I had a great singing voice and 12 inches downstairs.

Gawd what IS it about that man that makes me want to fark him 'til he's dead... or i'm dead? is that unusual?

I think his wife was seventeen or eighteen when they got married (he knocked her up). In other interviews he's done he claims that she's very shy and agoraphobic, literally hiding if he had people over. The only times she's been photographed with Tom is in airports. I saw a picture from a couple of years ago and she looked thirty years older than him. I saw another picture from the sixties and she didn't start out that great. But obviously he has feelings for her and this agreement works for them.

In shallower news, I'm glad he stopped dyeing his hair. And that accent ... sigh.

As Tom would say, "It's commonplace." Oh no, wait, "It's fairly average."
