Bobcat Goldthwait's early career was probably more defined by his unique manor of speaking than it was for his comedy, but that didn't stop him from developing into one of the most multitalented people in Hollywood.

A hot lap in racing typically refers to the speed of the car, unless it's being driven by the "Leading Lady of racing" Danica Patrick, in which case the phrase takes on an entirely new meaning. You know what we're talking about if you saw last year's Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue because a bikini-clad Danica was once again featured inside.
