I found this in a Reuters news story today, and it's creepy! It's about "Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist":<BR/><BR/>---------------------------<BR/>Cera's character Nick, is not much different than Cera.<BR/><BR/>"He is kind of guileless. He doesn't seem like a jerk," Kat Dennings (Norah) told Reuters in a joint interview with Cera.<BR/><BR/>"<B>He doesn't have lesions or active sores or something</B>," Cera said.<BR/><BR/>"<B>Not on his fingers</B>," Dennings joked.<BR/>---------------------------BinkyMhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10614778057889777804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37309174.post-50857103140725091172008-10-05T07:04:00.000-07:002008-10-05T07:04:00.000-07:00binky, i thought of helio right away since a couple of hints pointed to him (i thought), but he's in his 30's so i think a different clue eliminates him.Mollyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01812795614613905032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37309174.post-38130276644439988022008-10-04T21:05:00.000-07:002008-10-04T21:05:00.000-07:00Michael Phelps doesn't fit the blind, as Finnegan Furrow-Brow is "starting to dabble in all kinds of crossover activities." All Phelps does is swim. Michael Cera, for example, has done TV and movies, and has directed, produced, and written, too. (Those are "cross-over activities.")<BR/><BR/>Other examples of "cross-over activities" would be someone who sings and has a clothing line and sells a perfume (JLo), or raps and produces and sells champagne (Puff Daddy).BinkyMhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10614778057889777804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37309174.post-9245879518670220042008-10-04T19:48:00.000-07:002008-10-04T19:48:00.000-07:00Michael Phelps, because of the "newly minted megamoney and magnified status" and by giving out the names of Cristiano Ronaldo and Roger Federer means it could be an athlete.Abigaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04415373168201847227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37309174.post-80383137669338470572008-10-04T13:26:00.000-07:002008-10-04T13:26:00.000-07:00@miss x: Some of the best people in the world have herpes.

Not Michael Cera. He's such a cute kid (and good actor). <BR/><BR/>Guess I can't be too upset since I'll never be his woman. It just makes me feel bad for him.Miss Xhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10918229465332823787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37309174.post-34030906415807533302008-10-04T12:34:00.000-07:002008-10-04T12:34:00.000-07:00@Leia: You've won me over, finally. I chewed on Michael Cera all night, but rejected him for (a) being painfully shy (assuming that would make him a virgin), (b) not passing my name recognition test (if my family members don't know the name, he's not big enough), and, (c) I simply don't think of actors going from TV to movies (or vice versa as "crossing over" because they're *still actors*. But let's look at how he DOES fit:<BR/><BR/>1. "He's been in the spotlight for years" (since 2003)<BR/>2. He's "a younger-type dude" (he's 20)<BR/>3. He has a "tight ass and adorable smile"<BR/>4. He has "newly minted megamoney and magnified status" from "Juno" and "Superbad"<BR/>5. He "isn't exactly a traditional knockout stud" (no kidding!)<BR/>6. The "cojones" reference: his name is Spanish (it means "wax")<BR/>7. He's so polite, it's as if he were raised by Emily Post. I can totally see him admitting to having herpes.<BR/><BR/>He's 20; Jesse McCartney is 21. Puts them in the same sandbox. I'm sold, and feel we can put this one to bed! (But not in the same one as Michael Cera, lest we catch herpes!)<BR/><BR/>Way to go to all the people who suggested Michael Cera (poor l'il fella!)BinkyMhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10614778057889777804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37309174.post-24206113777162282712008-10-04T11:50:00.000-07:002008-10-04T11:50:00.000-07:00you guys. seriously. <BR/>it's michael cera.Leiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02922089087030753219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37309174.post-57837115690151217922008-10-04T08:55:00.000-07:002008-10-04T08:55:00.000-07:00Thanks to today's news, I found one which fits: Helio Castroneves. He won the Indianapolis 500 in both 2001 and 2002, the first since Al Unser in 1971. He *really* came to our attention when he won "Dancing with the Stars," which has a massive audience, and is a cross-over activity (unlike endorsement commercials, something most big athletes do), and he's Brazilian, which fits the "cojones" clue.<BR/><BR/>And he's pretty damned unattractive, though he has a terrific smile, unlike Michael Phelps, who's simply horrifying to look at (unless you put a bag over his head).BinkyMhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10614778057889777804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37309174.post-20416967084228332802008-10-04T08:27:00.000-07:002008-10-04T08:27:00.000-07:00MP has a great body (which we saw in a constant state of undress because he swims!), phenomenal success and the 'rocky-esque' backstory- many an athlete has scored big time with a lot less assets:-)<BR/><BR/>I thought him straight away. Teds blind makes no entertainer (singer/actor) refs, and the clues given as said in above posts fit an athlete very well. He is the most famous athlete coming out of summer 08 (and there have been other successes, but Phelp's have really caught headlines) and everything post-Beijing is a crossover activity.<BR/><BR/>I read posts on ONTD from some colleagues at UM where he used to train- one of the girls said he passed on an std to her friend. sorry, this one is signed and sealed!<BR/><BR/>Bless him though- at least he pre-warns, despite knowing he could miss out.gillianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06689346287281847731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37309174.post-77548680975306941412008-10-04T01:26:00.000-07:002008-10-04T01:26:00.000-07:00LOL. Michael Phelps is a hottie?! No, No, No, No, and a thousand times again NO! He is astoundingly unattractive (great body, but he doesnt walk around with his clothes off all the time so who cares?) and he seems like a sleazy asshole. <BR/><BR/>My first thought was Shia, but dont really know...and dont really care much about this one!MissBlisshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05653991317026311471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37309174.post-88325722412089260332008-10-03T20:43:00.000-07:002008-10-03T20:43:00.000-07:00In looking at the "Ain't"s, we have a man from Portugal who has done nothing of a cross-over nature, one from Spain who likewise hasn't done anything outside his field (thse would seem to match only the "cojones" hint), and a singer who's done TV (meets the "cross-over" requirement).<BR/><BR/>So I'm liking the sporty Spaniard theory happygrl floated. While I've dug up some Hispanic boxers who are the right age and have ugly mugs, they don't otherwise fit the blind (no cross-over work, their acreers haven't suddenly blown up, their names aren't recognized outside of boxing, etc).<BR/><BR/>But perhaps I'm looking in the wrong place: perhaps it's someone Hispanic who played a sports figure in a movie or TV show? Since two thirds of our "Ain't"s are Spanish and sports-related, those wouldseem to be clues.<BR/><BR/>@white lorelei: "there are certain ways he smiles that are adorable": Yeah.

Maybe it's the Gaelic psuedonym Ted picked. Finnegan Furrowedbrow sure sounds as if he comes from Ireland or Scotland. Plus, there are those hints at unconventional handsomeness and sex symbol status, the reference to new fame, etc. Am I seriously the only one? Is there a reason why he wouldn't be the pick? He's single and probably gets a bunch of lady attention. <BR/><BR/>Of course, this is also Ted's, so who really knows the source, or the reliability? But the blind could be about a ceramic unicorn collection-owning closeted megasuperduperstar who has secret sex with dwarves in the shower and I'd still try to guess it. *shrugs.* It's a Friday ritual!Ernestinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13320405041881711286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37309174.post-80069266668535672162008-10-03T15:56:00.000-07:002008-10-03T15:56:00.000-07:00I'm going with Phelps, because I refuse to believe that Rafa has the herp.Jaidenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05142326193461815115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37309174.post-6908194244311465892008-10-03T15:52:00.000-07:002008-10-03T15:52:00.000-07:00Robert Pattinson? <BR/><BR/>Will be in Twilight movie, and formerly from Harry Potter movie.<BR/><BR/>In Twilight, he's a vampire which is threatening.<BR/><BR/>All the teens love the Twilight series.Gwynnethehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18379599221562764408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37309174.post-48503989278229011822008-10-03T15:48:00.000-07:002008-10-03T15:48:00.000-07:00Hey -- I think Michael Phelps is adorable, seriously.
