Mickey Rourke at Voyeur nightclub supposedly dressed as The Joker for Halloween.

Am I missing something? Because I don’t remember Heath Ledger’s Joker looking anything like this.

Just what the hell is Mickey? Dead Mickey?  I see his eyes have Alice Cooper makeup, at least from what I can tell from underneath the glasses. Can anyone fill me in on this, because the paparazzi agency MUST be wrong about this. There is no way he is The Joker!

Mickey Rourke and his cut up knuckles

Mickey Rourke, simply put, is a man’s man.

Celebrities like Tom Cruise have paraffin soft hands with no calluses and perfectly manicured nails. But a man like Mickey Rourke has man’s hands. Tattoos, scars, a little blood, it’s all good.

He’s physically not the best looking man in Hollywood, no doubt. I mean the man looks like he injected cooking oil into his own face. (God bless ya, Mick!) However, he does have swagga. The women love him – and the men most certainly know better than to f*** with him. His career is sort of ironic, because he’s very anti-Hollywood. He’s a loner, and to some extent, an outcast. But that’s why I like him.

At the moment, there’s no bigger bad boy in Hollywood than Mickey Rourke.

Mickey, the dog loving, leather clad, velvet wearing has-been who’s made quite an impressive comeback. Those grandpa slippers have to go though, Mickster. They are so not conducive to your badboy image!

Despite the bad plastic surgery and stringy hair, he is a ladies man. He’s often spotted out at clubs with a smoke in one hand and sometimes a female companion in the other. However, he’s too cool to hold hands with the woman he is with, mind you. And If you’re taking his photo, he might just flip you the bird. But if you’re really lucky, he’ll bite the head off a rose…just because he’s cool like that.

Mickey Rourke spotted at Alto Nightclub in Soho (London) being dwarfed by his tall and leggy blonde date, Kristina.

They arrived at 1:30 AM and left two hours later. Kristina tried to link arms with Mickey but he told her he didn’t want to be photographed like that and walked off ahead of her.

Ha! Diss!

On a side note, girlfriend is sort of freaking me out with that intent gaze!

Mickey Rourke, as much as I love you, will you puh-leese cut that stringy mop on top of your head?

I know you’re a rebel and all, but a nice SHORT cut would truly make you look younger and maybe even a tad good looking. I think people would take you more serious as well. Not that any of those things matter to you..I’m just sayin’.

P.S. I think you should get some new ink to cover those old prison-grade tats, too!

Mickey Rourke and his adorable new Chihuahua puppy, Jaws, at LAX waiting for their bags near the terminals.

Mickey is so rad with his pups. They are treated like royalty and pampered incessantly – as they should be! You can bet that little guy is eating it up. Isn’t he adorable? He sort of looks like Yoda!

In my next life I want to be one of his dogs!

After losing his beloved 17-year-old Chihuahua last week, Mickey Rourke has already found himself another companion.

Jaws the Chihuahua is Rourke’s new little buddy and is seen here in his carrier at LAX.

Men who love dogs are hot.
