Drew Barrymore: The Ultimate Serial Monogamist

This is funny: Drew Barrymore Discusses 100th Boyfriend
Just the other day I was discussing DB with a friend (and who doesn't, all the time?) and it was decided that each person in the world will eventually get his or her chance to be in a monogamous relationship with Drew Barrymore for three years.

Is It Sam Lutfi or Sam Lufti? No Media Outlet Seems Sure

Not that it really matters whether any media outlet, anywhere, is spelling the name of Britney's latest Svengali correctly (or even consistently), but here's the final answer (or as far as I will go to get one):

Did you mean: sam lutfi

I Mean, Other Than, You Know, Super Tuesday

Uh, I read the Entire Internet today and this is really what everyone should have been talking about. (Link taken down for some reason and I'm not going to go searching for it, but it was a picture of Brittany Murphy's gigantic upper lip.)

I will never understand why celebrities (and regular rich ladies) don't just ask for A LITTLE TINY BIT of collagen or restylane in their lips. Nicole Kidman can afford to go back every two weeks. (Although it's likely that the smart ones DO just get a little bit and nobody notices to make fun of them on blogs.)

(Hi, this is what I'm thinking about. Welcome.)

And What About Corky?

Radar's Most Genuine Celebrities List - a great idea, slightly sullied by the appearance of Ivanka Trump and (seriously?) Kimora Lee Simmons.

Nick D'Agosto Joins the Cast of "Heroes"

10m_2The guy from Election and The Office continues his meteoric rise:

"The actor will play Claire's boyfriend, West, who is said to have "a very cool superpower."

I bet it's his face! I guess I have to start watching "Heroes." Also, everyone I know who has seen his movie "Rocket Science" (out 8/10) says it's really good.

This is Now a Nicholas D'Agosto Fan Site

10m_2Last night I was watching The Office finale with Stephanie, and (slight spoiler alert!) just at the moment when Jan grabs her (hot) assistant Hunter and tells him  good luck with his band and all that, I grabbed the remote, paused, and screamed "OH MY GOD THAT'S THE KID FROM 'ELECTION'!" and grabbed my laptop (this was exactly as fun for Steph as it sounds, I'm sure.)

I found him in the IMDB listing for Election, where he's credited, oddly enough, as "Larry Fouch (as Nick D'Agosto)"

When I found his IMDB page, there was no mention of The Office on it, but I was still 100% sure that it was the same kid. Each of the over 50 times I've seen "Election", I've always wondered what happened to the kid at the end, the one who counts the votes and says earnestly and profoundly  "It's a squeaker, Mr. M. I've got Tracy by a vote. Just one vote." I always thought he was really good in that part.

ANYway at the bottom of  his IMDB there was already a message board post saying "Credited in tonight's episode of "The Office" (and the show wasn't even over yet, I love the internet.) Anyway, the only point of this post is to come back later and say "Yeah, I was kind of the first person in the world to write about him? So, yeah."

More Administrative Assistant Hunter next season, please!

Also, the finale was awesome. I think Zulkey and I made our Team Pam and Team Karen shirts (sold out!) way too early.  Maybe we should make some more with "I think Pam is kind of a bitch" on the back of the Karen ones...

My Celebrity Encounters Part 2: Jack Black

(My Celebrity Encounters are about encounters I had with celebrities back when I was young and stupid and not cool enough to leave celebrities alone, which is what I do now, see: David's Law. But whatever, they happened, and I have a blog and a scanner, so here we go.)

I ask you: HOW THRILLED does Jack Black look to be with me backstage at a Tenacious D/Modest Mouse show at SXSW 2000?

Jack_black_sxsw

He was really nice to my friend Nubia and I when we waltzed backstage like we owned the place (we were actually walking by the green room and he invited us in), but he wouldn't let either of us kiss him on the cheek for the photo because of his girlfriend (at the time his girlfriend was the awesome comedian/writer/producer Laura Kightlinger.)

just you wait

300h Larry Birkhead: kind of loveable? But because he's retarded? You know? I get the feeling that he really, truly loved Anna Nicole Smith, and that he's lost without her, and that she was the Henry Higgins to his Eliza Doolittle. Poor Larry Birkhead. That is all.

Funniest Oscar Moment

Me: "Oh my GOD what IS that color?"

Friend: "It's black, Lindsay. They're black people."

(It was much greener on TV)

Also, Jess wants some free candles.

"I was in williamsburg before williamsburg was williamsburg"

The T Bird Show interviews Adrian Grenier in Williamsburg waiting for a car service. I would say something mean now but 1. the current season of Entourage is my favorite thing on TV and 2. Adrian seems actually kind of normal and cool and laid-back here, though all disclaimers regarding celebrities apply.

Funny Showbiz Show web-only video "Jessi Klein's Crush of the Week: Colin Farrell"

don't miss "johnny depp"

Last week, Kambri sent me to this amazing site where I was enthralled for, well, minutes, but that's a lot of web-enthrallment for me: celebrity lookalikes for hire. Like Unfortunate David Schwimmers 1:

And 2:

And Julia Roberts:

These aren't even close to being the funniest ones, I just got tired of uploading photos on a free site because of blogger sucking. The site must be fully explored to be appreciated.

UPDATE: Apparently this was on CityRag in April, I have no idea how I missed it!
