More Celebs Want You to Get Out and Vote
Wednesday, October 29th, 2008You guys wanna know something awful?
Like, totally horrible?
After all my encouragement to get you guys to register and vote, I’m not going to be able to vote!
And, no, it’s not because of that recent felony conviction for looking so good it should be illegal. (ZING!)
I haven’t been back to LA since I left rather suddenly in February, and I’ve been missing my friends there a lot lately, and I wanted to get back to see everyone before the holiday madness began. So, without thinking about it, I booked a flight earlier this week to go there next week. And today it hit me that I’m totally not going to be able to vote now! I’ll be in California on Election Day! I’m registered in Washington, and I’m too late to do an early ballot! See? All the celebrity PSAs in the world can’t prevent me from being a total fucking moron.
Update: Never mind! My friend told me I was too late for early voting but he was wrong! Washington will still allow me to do early voting if I drive my ass down to Renton and do it in person. So I AM VOTING! WOO HOO!
R.I.P. Estelle Reiner
Wednesday, October 29th, 2008We lost an important piece of Americana this weekend.
Estelle Reiner, the wife of Carl Reiner and mother of Rob Reiner, was also an accomplished painter, jazz singer and antiwar activist.
But you know her?
As the “I’ll have what she’s having” lady from the Meg Ryan orgasm scene in When Harry Met Sally.
Estelle passed away at her home in Beverly Hills on Saturday at the age of 94.
You will be missed, Estelle, but — rest assured — never forgotten.
Quotables
Wednesday, October 29th, 2008“No one wants to see an old hooker. Do they?”
Julia Roberts, when asked on Monday about the possibility of doing a Pretty Woman sequel.
Of course they do, Julia. Denise Richards’ reality show got picked up for a second season, didn’t it?
Selena Gomez Is Movin’ on Up!
Wednesday, October 29th, 2008In their rushed efforts to create a new Miley Cyrus before the original’s sex tape leaks, Disney appears to have greenlit a Wizards of Waverly Place film, which will throw relative newcomer Selena Gomez onto the big screen and deeper into the hearts of pre-teen America.
Selena also continues to hawk her Shia LaBeouf crush, repeating her request that he make an appearance on her show. “I’m, like, begging, but it’s not happening. I know I’m a nerd! Please, Shia, come on my show!”
Wonder what Nick Jonas thinks of all this nonsense. He’s probably too busy worrying about his big-screen debut, co-starring a flatulent dog. OMG! COULD WE GET MILEY CYRUS TO PLAY THE DOG???? That would be so awesome.
Bond Premiere!
Wednesday, October 29th, 2008Hi, guys! Sorry I was gone all afternoon. I was very busy getting me and Leo ready for Halloween. Leo is going to be a ladybug. Why? Because it was all that Target had in his size. Also: it comes with a little hat with antennae, and, honestly, how can you pass up an opportunity to make your dog wear a little hat with antennae? Leo is wearing it right now and he looks absolutely precious, if a tad bit miserable.
I am going as Luna Lovegood from Harry Potter. I have no idea who Luna Lovegood is. I have never read a a Harry Potter book nor seen a Harry Potter movie. Actually, I should amend that: I have never seen a Harry Potter movie sober. The whole Film.com office is going as Harry Potter characters, and this is my involvement. My coworkers seem to think I look like this person. Nothing could be less true. I have a way better rack than that chick. My idea for us was that our movies editor, Laremy, should go as “Caremy Bradshaw,” and then all the girls would go as Charlotte, Samantha and Miranda and our bald boss, Mike, would go as Stanford. I even offered to create Laremy’s “Caremy” costume. It was a very good idea, just not in anyone else’s mind. So of course I’m being all whiny about this, like, “How am I supposed to make some Harry Potter chick slutty? It’s not Halloween if I can’t be slutty,” and the guys in the office were all like, “Dude, we trust that you’ll figure something out.” So I go to the costume shop today to buy my long blond Luna Lovegood wig, and, much to my surprise, they already have a slutty Harry Potter girl costume for sale. It barely even covers my ass cheeks! SUCCESS! Of course, I’m supposed to be on Team Ravenclaw or some shit and the costume is in some other team’s colors so I had to go to Target and buy a blue and silver tie so I could be all Ravenclaw4Life. And that is where I found the ladybug costume for Leo. So basically I am going as slutty and my dog is going as homosexual. Perfect.
Here are some photos from the new Bond flick’s premiere in London. They are NOWHERE NEAR AS AWESOME as my photos will be on Friday.
GET. READY. AMERICA.
Barack Obama and Mario Lopez, Together At Last
Wednesday, October 29th, 2008Just days before the election, Barack Obama has opted to sit down with Mario Lopez for an episode of Extra! airing on Thursday, where he will talk about “his mother, and his workout.”
Now, if he wanted to secure the undecided vote, he would be asking Mario Lopez the tough questions, like why he’s such a fucking tool, and how in God’s name he keeps getting work.
