Val Kilmer, "King" of Mardi Gras?

It's Mardi Gras this week, and New Orleans has been living it up in honor of one the city's most famous holidays. It's not just Louisiana residents that are getting in on the action however. As Videogum reports, none other than Val "Iceman" Kilmer was on hand to help celebrate, decked out in a white skin-tight leotard and full Mardi Gras "king" regalia.

Mr. Kilmer apparently claimed the ceremonial honor of Bacchus in the city's annual Bacchus Parade. C'mon guys, let's not give Val a hard time. He was doing it for a good cause - Mr. Kilmer did stop by a local hospital to visit with sick children. An all-around good guy and quite a Mardi Gras king, don't you think??

Iceman is looking more like Frosty the snowman these days, eh? (Sorry, couldn't help that one - I see that photo and the one-liners are just nonstop).
I'm sure he's a lovely person, but you realize that if he runs for the New Mexico governor's job, this photo is an opponents dream. Expect to see it again and again.....

I see the moon.
I see the stars.
I see Kilmer's under drawers.

Top Gun is the best Val Kilmer movie they could think of?

he has found his place; gay wear; mediocre actor!!!!

Mediocre actor? I have to disagree. His portrayal of Doc Holiday in OK Corral was awesome as was Iceman in Top Gun. However, talent and beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Those are tights; there is no evidence that he is wearing a leotard in this picture.

Not for anything but has anyone else noticed a distinct likeness between Marlon Brando and Val Kilmer?

His best role as of late is as a corpse in a Polish western called "Dead Man's Bounty". Honest! I have a copy. And unlike most modern movies, the corpse is dead through the whole movie. Warning: it takes a true affectionado of Kilmer to watch this movie which will probably never make the Academy Awards.
