Mickey Rourke attempts to smoke the wrong side of a cigarette … on the red carpet for the premiere of The Wrestler.

Look, I’m the last person on earth to judge someone for smoking, but there’s something phenomenally classless about doing it on a red carpet. Admittedly, I kind of love when Simon Cowell walks the red carpet with a pack in his hands — although he is the only person on earth who can get away with it — but even Simon never actually lights up.

You’re so gross, Mickey.

   Smokers usually look so darn sexy, yet if they are serious about the habit they smell revoulting and are impossible to be around let along kiss. Bah.

     Next time you’re with a smoker get them to try the smokeless cigarettes, all the nicotine, no smell, second hand smoke, tar or lingering taste.
