Every once in a while, I come across a story that leaves me a little speechless.  This would be one of those times.

Salma Hayek is on the cover of April’s issue of InStyle and talking all about how her billionaire husband helped her through the devastating burden of figuring out what to wear.

François was my stylist,” Hayek, 42, tells InStyle for its April issue about the champagne Bottega Veneta gown she wore to the Golden Globes. It was Christmas and I was just overwhelmed with so many things to do. He said, ‘Let me help you. How can I help?’

And I said, ‘Well, I have to pick a dress for the Golden Globes,’  Hayek continues, recounting her conversation with hubby François Henri-Pinault, whose company PPR oversees Balenciaga, Gucci and YSL. So Bottega Veneta sent swatches and sketches, and François worked with the designer Tomas Maier, and he took care of everything.

A man picked out and designed this dress?  Well, that explains the neckline.

      Unfortunately, i read it and it’s mind numbing. I was stuck in my doctor’s waiting room for an hour and it was Salma or the Spanish People magazine. I am not fluent in Spanish.

      My husband loves her so much. If I wasn’t absolutely perfect sporting a great rack, I’d be mad.

    Salma Hayek is a freaking loony bin. I used to live in the town of Yelm, Wa, and that’s where the oh so mysterious J.Z. knight lives. This lady charges people a lot of money to come into her mansion, and watch her channel some ancient warrior (Ramtha) who killed millions of people and conquered a good portion of landmass. They’d do crazy stuff, too! Like have giant trucks full of salt water and transfer them to various trucks late at night.

    Anyways, you’ll occasionally see Salma in Yelm because she is a big follower of Ramtha. Check out this quote from her about Ramtha:
    “Having been a skeptic for most of my life, Ramtha has taught me about the possibilities we all have to influence reality using science to explain the mechanics in a way that finally makes sense to me. His technique on creating the day has been very effective in my life. ”

    I’m just trying to imagine the results if i asked my partner to organise an outfit for me.

    The Scientology talk is true, but I’ve met some weird Ramsters. I had a girl in my CP Chemistry class that said that when an apple turns brown that’s its blood. Also, she refused to be in the classroom when we used laptops to record our data because she said it was a portal for the government to invade her thoughts.

    They’re just crazy people in general. I doubt Salma Hayek is to the same extreme that many of them are, but she’s still one of them.
