Villeneuve confirms retirement, forms country band
1997 world champion Jacques Villeneuve today confirmed his retirement from formula one, and announced his intention to form a country band, which he said would convene in Nashville as soon as possible to start work on an album of songs the French Canadian had penned.
‘It’s a long time overdue,’ Villeneuve told reporters, ‘and to be honest it’s a weight off my shoulders. I can now follow my real dreams and tour with my country rockabilly children’s punk psychedelic covers band.’ Villeneuve told reporters he would name his band Jacques Villeneuve and the British American wacky tobaccies, and said he and his band planned to tour the United States, Canada, and possibly the Williams factory in the New Year. ‘I’ve got loads of songs written we’re going to be recording over the next couple of weeks, I’m excited, pumped,’ the eccentric Indy 500 winner told journalists.
Villeneuve revealed a number of song titles in the press conference, and treated assembled journalists to an impromptu performance of a number of tunes he was preparing to record in Nashville later this month. One song he sang, which he called ‘Dave Richards you puke do you know who I am I’m Jacques Villeneuve blues’ went on for an extraordinary half hour, and included over 30 scathing verses with lyrics like ‘you puke / you make me vomit / argh / I’m going skiing / argh argh / shuttup / shuttup / let me drive please / I’ll do anything / please? Please? Argh argh’ and featured a stunning coda wherein Villeneuve set fire to his guitar and an effigy of a balding gray haired man with a beard and a sign on him which read ‘Dave’.
Another song Villeneuve debuted was called ‘You pi(o)llock, you said we’d win the championship in a couple of years, I’m going skiing, please please argh’ which included lyrics such as ‘you said you were my friend / you still are I guess / but you messed up / I did too I guess / oh well / hugs / wanna catch a movie / wanna fly to Monaco / wanna go skiing blues’.
Villeneuve rejected suggestions the songs were autobiographical, saying that they had no relationship to any current events in his life. ‘They were mainly inspired by flowers and bubbles and small puppy dogs’ the gruff thirty-something said.
Villeneuve refused to discuss comments 3 time formula one champion and motor mouth Jackie Stewart made earlier in the week that Villeneuve had no place in country music, and would be better off forming a hip hop group. ‘Jacques has no place in Nashville with Merle Haggard and George Jones and Dolly Parton and me; Van Morrison the Belfast cowboy and I are friends and also I own cowboy boots.’ The mad Scot made the comments during a press conference announcing he was forming his own group, a country and western band called Jackie and the George-Harrison-wrote-a-song-about-me’s, who would perform songs penned by the Scot, including tunes such as ‘Michael Schumacher should retire now,’ ‘I wish Montoya had won,’ ‘things were different in my day,’ ‘You know what they say about men in kilts,’ and the first single off the new album ‘Why formula one stunk after 1973’. Stewart told reporters his debut country album would be called dreamin’ ‘bout a better worl’ and would ‘piss all over Villeneuve’s counterfeit load of shit.’
‘I’ve already downloaded mp3 files of Jacques’ demos off the Internet, his songs are awful’ the insane criminal mastermind-like lunatic Scot said.
Villeneuve also refused to comment on Stewart’s other mid week claims that the Beatles had stolen all his best songs, that he had invented the Internet, and that he could have won more than three championships if he’d wanted to but he hadn’t wanted to so there. ‘I’ll be seeing Jackie at the top of the country charts. I eat mad Scotsmen for breakfast,’ the French Canadian said, before jumping on the Dave Richards effigy a couple more times.

Once again, lifted from another site

Touchstone Pictures announced yesterday that Spike Jonez's big toe has been signed to direct the movie of Jacques Villeneuve's life.
Rumours have been circulating for some time that Jacques was looking for a suitable vehicle, but few expected it to be a movie.
Little is known about the form that the movie will eventually take. But here at movierumours.com, we never let such a lack of facts get in the way. Here's what we have heard on the subject, exclusive to movierumours.com:
Who is in the line up to direct?
The Wachovski brothers are busy at the moment writing draft scripts. Having had their treatment for AC/DC Comics' "D For Dendvetta" rejected on the grounds that it is "too clever, not enough guns and where's the people surviving explosions and fighting", we hear that Columbia Pictures have taken up an option on their script for Marvellous Comics' "Spastic Man", a man who is taunted for being physically disadvantaged, but who turns into a regular blue collar nerd when subjected to bright light.
Everybody else appears to be out of the frame. The smart money is on Spike Jonez' big toe. The rest of his body is signed to direct the sequel to Harry Potter's "The Swinging Detective", the story of a writer with eczema who imagines himself as a man who can move his immobile body by swinging higher and higher, hallucinates being surrounded by Mugwumps, various other knockoffs of characters from "The Lord of The Rings" trilogy and "Alice in Wonderland", all set in the future. Are his hallucinations real? Is reality a dream? Breathtakingly original stuff, and none of that dark crap with the awful World War II British music in the BBC version.
Which actors are in the line up to star?
We hear that Robert Redford has signed already to play Craig Pollock. Rumor has it that Redford is taking this role seriously, spending up to half an hour getting his character's Scottish accent just right. Already talk is of an Academy Award nomination.
Haydn Christensen (Anakin Skywalker, Star Wars Episode I and II) has signed a contract to star as Jacques Villeneuve. Jacques had wanted Jack Nicholson to play the role, but executives said he was "too expensive" and "a bit on the old side... a bit like you Jacques." Jacques had then suggested Christian Slater, but executives said he was "getting a bit past it.. a bit like you again, eh, Jacques? We want to make money on this."
"Oh okay, that for sure is like me!" said Jacques. Allegedly.
The movie has the working title of "Undecent Proposal". This is what we have learned so far of the plot, exclusive to movierumors.com:
Jacques is with his girlfriend in a bar. Robert Redford (playing Craig Pollock) spots Jacques and his stunning girlfriend at a pool table. He asks Jacques to play a game of pool with him. Jacques, being a competitor, cannot resist.
As the two men play pool, his girlfriend looks on anxiously. Something is going on that has not been spoken.
Yet.
Redford, as Craig Pollock asks Haydn, playing the role of Jacques, what does he think of F1 racing.
Jacques says for sure it's a good sport, he'd love to race, but he wants to learn to ski.
Craig then casually mentions that he is a ski instructor. Jacques is impressed. To Jacques, this is the ultimate. Craig clearly has done all there is to do in life. He must be very, very rich, thinks Jacques. Jacques is falling for him.
Craig then makes Jacques an Undecent Proposal. "Suppose I were to offer you one million dollars to not have one night with your future wife, and instead let me screw your career?"
