Morning Mix: Sandra Bullock Unharmed in Car Crash

Why doesn't that Aussie newspaper just comp Harry Potter's personal ad?

"You: tall, blonde hair, blue eyes, radiant smile. Me: glasses, fiddling with my wand. Coffee, tea, or starf***ing? - reply Box 23792."

Re 'Spearswatch' item:

Take that Neil Patrick Harris... your 'anonymous' comment posted yesterday in Liz Kelly's Friday 'Highbrow' blog is officially no longer valid.

Zsa Zsa's hubby is quite a colourful character.

Sez Wikipedia: In July '07, he says three women asked him to pose for pictures with them, robbed him, stole his car keys, jewelry, wallet, driver's license and all his clothes and handcuffed him. He called LAPD using a cellphone; when they arrived, he was naked but "no handcuffs were found at the scene."

Sez IMDB: He & Zsa Zsa legally adopt men who pay millions for right to use the von Anhalt name.

Oh byoolin, you make Monday mornings semi-better.

Thanks for the semi-kind words, jelo. :-)

Memo to Mr. Fielder-Civil: Blake, baby, be stingy with the underwear pix of the lovely Ms. Stick-Insect, er, Winehouse. After you've traded the last of those for drugs, your new name will be Bottom Fielder-Civil.

Why is the Prince William thing in the rumor mill when it actually happened?

Quest's lawyer, Alan Abramson said:
"Mr. Quest did not realize that the park had a curfew and was returning to his hotel with friends. The matter is scheduled to be dismissed."

Um, yes, and the pocket full of meth? Mr. Quest did not realize that the meth was an illegal, highly addictive and very destructive drug?? Or what? And why didn't Mr. Quest just ask Race Bannon and Hadji?

Hey Liz Kelly, why no comment of the week last week? Or did I miss it somehow?

It's always good to see a Jonny Quest reference in the comments.

How many of you caught Ann Curry's faux pas this morning when she said good morning to Matt and Katie... (woops). She caught herself right away

Maybe Ann Curry knows something we don't.

Naw. Couldn't be that.

Ann Curry's 'faux pas' is showing up at NBC Studios every day.

That Ricky Gervais item needs a "(NSFW)" after it.

I miss Jonny Quest. Wasn't somebody who is now famous one of the cartoon voices? My mind goes to Casey Kasem, but I don't think that's right.

Rudy from "Cosby" playing a hooker? How Eve Plumb of her.

Maybe Ann Curry knows something we don't. (Nah.)

(Clearly, byoolin's comment about Ann Curry was in my head when I wrote that. Sorry to be a copycat.)

td, I'd have thought that the words "Ricky Gervais" next to "bares chest" is its own NSFW warning.

Gervais+bare chest+MAKEUP=fair warning.
Yikes!

I stand corrected, byoolin. My bad.

Okay, FINE. I'll go look. Wait here, I'll be right back.

I cannot believe nobody said anything about the unbuttoned leather pants.

ew. just ew. and that cheezy porn-star smile....

I'm a little bit embarassed to admit that I don't know who Ricky Gervais is. And after looking at the pics I don't want to know.

Harrison Ford: "I walked down Madison Avenue till I found the first jewelry store that pierced ears."

Which would explain the Hello Kitty dangle.

Nothing says misplaced mid-life crisis like earrings on a gray craggy old man. Except maybe a ponytail, tattoo, or girlfriend twenty-two years your junior.

Ricky Gervais was auditioning for The Burt Reynolds Story. They just didn't print the pictures with him wearing nothing but a football and a smile.

Still, go rent the British (original) "Office" now. Watch. See why the American version is really awful. See why Ricky Gervais is quite simply a genius.

Gervais is amazing. His little role in For Your Consideration overshadowed most of the other parts of the movie.

Cate Blanchette is amazing. Drop dead gorgeous. Three small boys, a somewhat frumpy looking husband whom she is nuts about, a theater they run together (that is also green, run by wind power, etc), stays out of clubs, etc. Just seems a normal human being who is mindblowingly talented (go now and rent Notes on a Scnadal if you want to see an amazing performance).

The Harrison Ford story is old news. He told everybody that story back in the 90's - right around the time he turned 50, I believe. In fact it might have been the year that he was People's sexiest man (the earring was mentioned in the article as it was displayed quite prominently in the pictures). I don't know why I remember this so well.....

Let's just be glad Harrison Ford wasn't walking down a different street, or else he might have ended up with a Prince Albert.

I nominate M for Comment Of The Week.

gervais' "extras" series is also incredible, as are his podcasts with steven merchant and karl pilkington.

Damn, M Street, that was a strong start. Well done.

Ricky Gervais' Extras is fantastic. The final episode was amazing.

And, if he had turned the corner from Madison Ave and walked into Greenwich Village after getting the Prince Albert, no one would need to call Harrison to ask if he had Prince Albert in a can.

for the more innocent among us:

Ricky Gervais??????

Is he the person, who in his younger days, served as the model for this?

Or is Ricky Gervais the model for this?

http://towleroad.typepad.com/towleroad/design/brawny3.html

Gervais is havin' a laugh. Rent the dvds for Extras and watch the special features -- he's not capable of being serious for more than 2 minutes at a time. The best was the feature on all the things he does to Nigel the editor. The guy's insane.

You all forgot to mention the Rock of Love reunion show last night. It was crrrrrazy!!! Daisy dropped the bomb that she was sleeping with Bret "the entire time" (which wasn't surprising, but I was glad that the whispers were confirmed). And apparently Bret "kicked Amber to the curb"?

Wow, what has my life become?

Ann Curry's father died last week (note that she was wearing black this morning). I, for one, will cut her some slack. Until next week.

I love Ricky Gervais. I'll bet he knows what a Prince Albert is. Is that the same thing as Lucky Pierre?

Catalina, I loved that reunion show--could not believe it when Daisy and Heather got into that hair pulling face scratching fight! But I missed the kicking Ambre to the curb part--please explain?

Guess Anna Kournikova is smarter than I gave her credit for. Though I find myself wondering about Iglesias' turnaround -- previously he said he didn't want to marry her. Which is it?

Okay, I give up. What's a lucky Pierre? My cat's name is Pierre and he's awesome, so I hope it's not something as skin-crawlingly gross as a Prince Albert! Talk about NSFW!!! NSF ... anything!

Ok, I checked out the def. for a Prince Albert... ah, ewwwww! But the best part was this, "Finally, be warned that wearing a ring in your urethra will often affect the urine stream -- you may need to sit down to pee."

Good gracious. Lucky Pierre is very innocent in comparison. Like imagine you have two very, very good friends, and they are the bread, and you are the filling in the sammich. So you're Lucky Pierre. In fact, probably club sammiches may be made, with multiple Luckies.

Californian, learn to use Urbandictionary.com

anon at 4:29, learn to use your manners

anon at 4:29, it's quite possible Urbandictionary.com is not avaiable to Californian at work. I have to wait until I get home to see it.

Man! That's the Nastypedia! And I searched for Prince Albert in a Can and nothing came back - guess that joke doesn't have as much staying power as the contemporary Prince Albert.

-- Young Tim Matheson was the voice of JOnny Quest.

-- Sad news for Gervais-philes: Karl will not agree to one last podcast. Check Gervais' website for sad details.

Tim Matheson! Thanks, odessasteps! I knew it was somebody hilarious like that.
