Harvey Pekar Has Died

Early this morning Harvey Pekar died. Harvey was the author of American Splendor. If you never read it, you really should pick up an issue of one of the best comic books ever written. If you never saw one of his many appearances on David Letterman, you missed great television. If you never saw the movie American Splendor starring Paul Giamatti, you missed one of the greatest movies of the last decade. (Thanks Jane)

Paul Giamiatti Calls Japanese Actor A Troll

Did you enjoy the movie Sideways? Sure you did. Most people did. In Japan though it wasn't as big of a hit, so some Japanese producers decided to do their own version. Instead of focusing just on wineries around Santa Barbara they decided to also include Napa and other wine regions in California. The remake was a big hit in Japan and also increased California wine sales in Japan.

The producers decided to offer Paul Giamatti a cameo in the movie, but he declined, saying, "I said no. I felt my career hasn't hit that low yet. I thought, 'What am I gonna play - the sushi chef or something?'" That is a really nice attitude to take. It is just a cameo. Actors do cameos all the time as favors and I think it would have been kind of cool to see him in it and probably would have made people watch the original Sideways again and possibly generated additional revenue for Giamatti. Maybe he could have done some commercials in Japan also and made some money. Accepting a cameo isn't going to hurt your career even in the worst movie of all time. It is a cameo, and nothing more.

Paul didn't just leave it at that though, he decided to trash the actor who played him in the remake. "They got a strange, little troll to play me." The strange troll, Giamatti is referring to is Fumiyo Kohinata. I don't know what mirror Paul uses every morning, but he isn't exactly the best looking guy to ever walk the earth. I also think that he has probably ruined any chance of any of his movies doing any kind of business in Japan. In the US we always remake Japanese movies, and I don't think I have ever heard of one of their original actors calling any of the actors in a remake a derogatory term.

Thanks LeeAnne.

Random Photos Part One

When I go to court, this is what everyone is wearing. You have to admit that Amy Winehouse is always full of surprises. I will also say that she actually looks healthy.
Bill Hader has been in the photos before, but I think this is the very first time anywhere in the blog for Kristen Wiig.
Brian Williams, his wife and daughter and a crooked tie.
Clive Owen was the man who started the recent velvet jacket revival, but he says he won't be wearing one anymore because his daughters hate it and think it is weird.
Does David Beckham ever take a bad picture? It is kind of depressing.
Ed Westwick in a much different kind of pose than we saw him last.
Iman at a Holt Renfrew in Toronto. She really needs to replace Heidi on Project Runway here in the US.
You know those fish that are attached to bigger fish so they can steal their food? That was my first thought when I saw this picture of Kim Kardashian and Reggie Bush.
Is he hiding Kate Moss' tail?
Kristen Stewart doing press for Adventureland
And what she decided to wear to the premiere.
How cheap is Mario Lopez? He took Eva Longoria out for her birthday to her own restaurant.
"OK, who wants to play the Princess and the leprechaun?"
Priyanka Chopra at some magazine launch. I just wanted an excuse to post her photo.
Paul Giamatti looks stunned to be recognized.
Russell Brand - Sydney
Look what we have here. Ryan Reynolds did his mandatory five minutes at the red carpet of Adventureland.
The first time I have seen Robin Roberts on a red carpet. She looks lovely.
I don't know why CBS needs their own magazine, but Roselyn Sanchez was out promoting it.
Sarah Jessica Parker on the set of her new movie.
Sienna Miller looking to see which guys have wedding rings on their fingers so she can make her choice.
Apparently Seth Rogen was a little nervous going through security. Check out the pit stains.
The Fray - Perth

Random Photos Part One

I want to make it clear that I am not reviving the whole reader photo thing right now. For those of you who have sent in your photos, I have them and am keeping them in a safe place while making little macaroni Christmas ornaments out of them. I figured I would take a little break until November and December and start that up again. However, if you just happened to be wandering through a bookstore yesterday and saw Paul Giamatti and convinced him to pose with you then it is actually news. Thus, you get your photo in the random photos. Of course, you should also let us know if he was buying porn or poetry, but the photo alone will do if any of that is not possible.

Hey, it's the other Lawrence brothers. In this case it is Andrew and Matthew.
Just in case you were wondering how you could possibly contribute to the world of horrific fashion mistakes, Ashley and Mary Kate Olsen are releasing a coffee table book. So buy a copy or two and let them keep living the high life. Now, in what is surely going to lead to a sibling rivalry, half the books have Ashley on the cover and Mary Kate on the back, while the other half of the books are reversed. Who will sell more copies?

One of my favorite US soccer players, Coby Jones. He was so fast. Too bad our team was always crap when he played.

Yeah, big deal. Lets see them do that with me up there.
Billy Idol - London
Have to admit that Alicia Silverstone looks great here. Still a television jinx of epic proportions but she looks good.
Speaking of looking good. I had about given up hope of Debi Mazar ever taking another great candid, but again I was wrong. Really nice.

Daniel Craig. Come on. Do you think I would leave the guy out if he was in town at a premiere.
I even gave him to you twice.
A rare sighting. Both of the brothers Masterson in the same photograph.
Meh. Just know that some of you are curious by nature, so thought I would throw them up there so you can see what they look like today. It's not like Christopher Knight and Adrianne Curry aren't promoting the hell out of themselves everyday, but just in case you wanted to see them, or throw darts at them, here they are.

Don't throw darts at Gary Cole though. Didn't even realize when I posted it, but you have a Brady above and a Brady below. That hasn't happened since the original television show when Greg and Marcia got it on.

Fabian, Frankie Avalon, Bobby Rydell - Morristown, NJ
Can you call an actress adorable, because Emma Stone looks just that.
Eva Longoria holding on to Kate Beckinsale for dear life so the photographer won't move on to someone else.
Is that a bad angle, or is Emile Hirsch getting himself a nice pair of man boobs. No worries Emile you get used to them, and can even find it strangely pleasurable.
Jill Hennessey - New York

I'm not sure why Jennifer Freeman (thanks lachick, I think you are right) even bothered getting dressed.
I swear it could be midnight in the middle of nowhere and if you ran into Jamie Foxx he would be wearing sunglasses.
One of the few couples in Hollywood I enjoy.
It's kind of odd to see Jon Bon Jovi surrounded by a bunch of guys larger than him. You always see him as larger than life on stage, but around football players, he looks so damn tiny. Not Tom Cruise tiny though.
Mariah Carey - Los Angeles

Luke Wilson remains in my top ten guys I would like to go drinking with.
Lindsay Lohan makes the lineup because she took off the damn leggings.
If you have always wanted to know what Leslie Bibb is like, this is a perfect example.
Jodie Sweetin is getting her own reality show, and for once, I think it is a good idea. I would actually be interested in following her around and showing us her life edited of course to put her into the best possible light in a series of staged maneuverings to make her life appear more interesting than it actually is.
Rent - New York

Quincy and Kidada. That is some love right there.
I love Maggie Q and don't understand why the rest of the world isn't with me on this one.
Michael Madsen back in Los Angeles. From what I understand he stayed off the booze at the after party last night.
No one even told me Mindy Kaling was going to be on Dave last night. Hopefully TiVo got it.
Whitney Heard should have that growth removed as soon as possible. They can be dangerous if left untreated.

I will let you come to your own conclusions about what Shanna Moakler was up to before this photo was taken.
In the oddest damn pairing of the day you have Sean Stewart and Lizzie Grubman.
I don't actually have any problems with Stephanie Pratt. The outfit, yes, but not her.
Both are gorgeous.
