G-Lea-ful.

One of my favorite parts of Glee is the true to form Tracey Flick-esque performance of Lea Michele, who plays the talented and driven Rachel.

It turns out that Lea is actually quite driven herself, and the 5'3'' Italian- me too- and Jewish (not so much) Broadway baby had quite the auditioning process for the show.

“The piano player messed up the song, and they were laughing so hard I had to tell them it was a serious scene and ask them to stop laughing. Ryan called me that night to say I was great. I was like, ‘Really? That was awful!’ ” On the way to her final audition, Lea got in a car crash just outside the studio. “I had to leave the smoking car on the street. I had glass in my hair and nicks all over my body.” She also feared internal bleeding. But never mind, she got to the audition. “That’s why I play Rachel,” she says. “Because I’m the one who ran with shards of glass in my hair. She wouldn’t let anything stop her.”

Aw that's really cute. Maybe really frightening. But Glee is Sept. 16th all the same, WATCH. It is amazing, trust.

Look Away

Okay, faint of heart should really look away, because this is our obscene. Truly.


Trust. The picture is less gross the smaller I make it.

Perez summed up the only question we can think of after seeing this;

"What does her getting naked have to do with gay rights????"

Her - the naked one- being Kim Zolciak of Housewives of Atlanta. Clearly, she's the trashiest of all of the housewives ever. Hell, Danielle (crazy as she was) might not be as TRASHY. Psychotic - yes. Trashy - no... well, -maybe.

That's a tough call. But, the NO H8 campaign people should not be proud of these pictures. She's a no one. Hell, this isn't even NeNe and we know she doesn't mind having her goodies in your face.
God, help us. Kim has a cross on this picture... We all know how holy she is.

Ahh...OUCH. That's all I can really say about this without throwing up.

Sunglasses, I Love You.

This is Rachel Bilson in Venice grabbing a bite at Rose 79 Cafè with her mother Janice on Monday. I would like to point out that I basically have those sunglasses. Just a little cheaper. But I have gone to extreme lengths for these glasses, to the point where you would think they were made of gold. Girls know- once you find a good pair of sunglasses, it's a miracle. Life is better through them.

Rachel is starring in New York, I Love You where her character, Molly, is involved in a lvoe triangle with real- life fiance Hayden Christensen, who plays a pickpocket, Ben, and Andy Garcia who plays a guy named Garry.

I...kind of can't wait to see this. It comes out nationwide on October 1st, so in a month!

Boring Town.

Why am I talking about boring Blake so much? This is Blake on set of her upcoming "crime thriller" The Town Monday morning. She plays...I don't really know, but I'm going to guess some kind of hot trailer trashy girl with a baby. Hoop earrings always equal Natalie Portman in Where the Heart Is. I do know that she is the sister of a bank robber.

This is being filmed in Boston, so naturally Ben Affleck is directing, and also starring in it.

September 19th.

Perfect boyfriend turned fiance John Krasinski was seen walking into LAX airport on Sunday. The sixth season of The Office premieres on Sept. 19th with "Gossip". So excited- it's going to be really ironic to blog about. Can't wait. I will be pulling out the shirt from last year. The one I spent four hours painting on the floor in my dorm with a pencil because I didn't have a brush that was small enough to do letters.

I really do amaze myself sometimes. Not necessarily in a good way.

Bonding Time.

Ok, so my roommate Michelle and I have bonding time watching MTV shows or the VH1 music countdown. Today Colbie Caillat was on and yes, was slightly annoying. She doesn't have the power to be more than that. But the interesting part was her new video for her single, "Fallin' for You".

I was so confused at first- Bobby Moynihan for Saturday Night Live plays her love interest in the video, and he is the most guido guy on the planet...I mean, you just have to watch for yourself. No way I can describe it. And it didn't help that VH1 cut off the beginning part where he comes to her trailer (yeah right) and she's all like, "oh, he's not my type..."

British Actors are Boring.

Welsh born actor Anthony Hopkins who is best known for his role in Silence of the Lambs, although around here he is better known for his role in the first Zorro movie. Love Sir Anthoney in that one.

I went to America years ago because I felt I didn't fit in here in England. I worked with some good people, like Judi Dench but I never fitted in to a group of actors. I was on the outside; I was like a sore thumb. I didn't have any friends who were actors at all; I never did. I was always on the outside.

Yeah- go America! We got Sir Anthony.

It was difficult being in London in this very strange acting community. All that, "Theatre darling" -- I just found it insufferable. It was f***ing boring. So I moved to America and did what I'd wanted to do my whole life -- make movies.

Sir Anthony and I have something in common- we hate theater people. I've only been in high school productions, but it's enough, trust. It was enough to make me drop my Improv class this semester. One class and I was like, hell no- I cannot work with these people. Tell them that while Le Mis WAS awesome, it did not change your life forever...just watch the jaws drop and the noses turn up- simultaneously. It's a feat.
