In a week that's already seen the unlikely union of Steve Coogan and Courtney Love, anything's possible, and so here's another odd couple: George Galloway and Jane Fonda.
OK, not in quite the same way, but the Respect MP and the anti-(Vietnam) war activist turned keep fit fanatic are teaming up for a short speaking tour in the US.
Following on from his barnstorming senate appearance - and a quick UK speaking tour - the Bethnal Green & Bow MP is off on a 11 date speaking tour of the US.
Ms Fonda will only be there for two dates - and for anyone who hasn't already seen Barbarella, perhaps the better spectacle will come when Mr Galloway takes on journalist Christohper Hitchens - the man he called a drink-soaked former Trotskyist popinjay - in the New York debate.
