TRIUMVIRATE OF AWESOME!!

Alan Alda.  Allison Janney.  Meryl Streep.  

"Opening night of the World Science Festival in New York is going to feature a more glittering lineup of stars than most Broadway shows. Meryl Streep, Amy Adams, Allison Janney, Liev Schreiber, David Morse and Bill Camp are among the actors coming together on June 1 at Alice Tully Hall to participate in a reading of a new play written by Alan Alda about the scientist Marie Curie." - NY Times

If you don't know me, you won't understand how huge this is.
Well...

Melancholia: a mental condition marked by persistent depression and ill-founded fears.

...or in my case, a mental condition marked by persistent dedication and ill-founded obsession.

... with Kiefer.

Which led me to create a google video email notification (during, I swear, a moment of legitimate research), which led me to see this trailer by the (insert adjective) Lars Von Trier.

MELANCHOLIA.

"How much love, sex, fun and friendship can a person take?"

The Big Chill was an 1983 film starring Kevin Kline, Glenn Close, and Jeff Goldblum - about a group of friends who get together for a weekend to mourn the loss of a friend, and reminisce about the college years, when radicalism and idealism were still a part of their lives.  Some have called it self-indulgent, elitist, and a tale of 60s-hippie-turned-80s-yuppie, but I call it, simply wonderful.

And Regina King, AKA Southland's Detective Adams and 24's Sandra Palmer (relax, I said Sandra, not Sherry) agrees as she will produce the all-black-cast remake for Screen Gems.

And He Even Uses The Loo!

Thankfully, despite recent news, JACK BAUER LIVES!

Jack Kiefer was spotted dining at NYC's Juniors earlier this week, while enthusiastically talking '24' movie with series producer, Ron Howard.

Also, every news source ever finds Kiefer's cheeseburger to be relevant.

Water for Elephants, and screaming fangirls

 I just got chills.

Which surprises me.  Because though I secretly enjoyed Remember Me, it's very embarassing to admit that I might be looking forward to something starring Robert Pattinson.  And yet...







P.S. Jen, give it a shot, Christoph Waltz is in it too.  And Reese.  But mostly Christoph Waltz.

The One with the Laminated Lists

While we're on the subject:

The subject is celebrity crushes we'd like to be on.

My last post mentioned my Celebrity Husband, Alan, which reminded me of a fantastic FRIENDS episode, The One with Frank Jr.

Ross: (to Isabella Rossellini) Hi! Hi, I’m Ross, you don’t know me, but I’m a big, big fan of yours. I mean, Blue Velvet, woo-oo hoo! Um, I was wondering if I could um, maybe buy you a cup of coffee?
Isabella: Aren’t you with that girl over there? (points at Rachel, who waves back)
Ross: Well, yeah, kinda. Um, but that’s okay, see we have an understanding, um, see we each have this list of five famous people, (gets his out) so I’m allowed to sleep with you. No, no, no, it’s flattery.
Isabella: (reading the list) I’m not on the list!
Ross: Um, see, but that’s not the final draft.
Isabella: It’s laminated!
Ross: Yeah, um, okay see, you were, you were on the list but my friend, Chandler (Chandler waves) brought up the very good point that you are international, so I bumped you for Wynona Rider, local.
Isabella: Y'know it’s ironic...
Ross: What?
Isabella: ...because I have a list of five goofy coffee house guys and yesterday I bumped you for that guy over there. (points at a guy and leaves)
Ross: (to the rest of the gang) We’re just gonna be friends.

Marry Me.

You guys don't know me too well yet, so I don't want to frighten you off, but in the interest of film spork introductions, I should introduce you to my husband. (After the jump...)

The Power of Three

The Holy Trinity have teamed up for a new film, penned by Sex and the City scribe Michael Patrick King, giving a behind-the-scenes look at the home shopping network.  Who you ask?
