In The Talkies - Sep. 27
What did you miss in the world of entertainment? The incomparable is that is the is?
#1.) New Jersey governor Fatty Arbuckle Chris Christie (I hope his middle name is Crispin) has made a big hullabaloo over axing the $420K tax credit due Jersey Shore for filming in the state. Smart move — there’s no way they can film a show called Jersey Shore anywhere other than Jersey! Right, Chris? Right?!
As a former accountant, there is no way the show’s budget even exceeds $420K, let alone qualifies for a $420K tax break. Here’s the deets:
$15,000 House Rental
$100 Italian Flag Garage Painters (Mexicans)
$12,000 Drinks at Karma
$25 Crocodilly
$100,000 Crew
Even factoring in cast and crew trips to the Seaside Waterworks, a raunchy waterpark and favorite of my family since 1993, the numbers just ain’t addin’ up, Crispin.
#2.) NBC is streaming episodes of Up All Night and Whitney online before they air on TV. That way, the people they fooled with those quirky banners about morning sex who were tricked into watching the premiere will not be counted by the number-crunching gremlin elves at Nielsen. Touchè, NBC! No wonder you’re #1 year after year!
#3.) Word on the street (that is, Santa Monica Boulevard, but not the part near Melrose with the trannies) is Eric Bana is in talks to star in Brilliant, a film about a less experienced thief who partners with more experienced thieves. This film is literally oozing with concept of the high variety. Also, a movie about the presidential elections called The Ides Of March is being released in the fall of a non-election year. So, we’re batting 50/50! or .500! Oh, shut up, Melrose trannies.
#4.) Finally, Chuck Sheen and Charlie Lorre (yes, they could switch monikers and still honor their birth names) have settled Chuck’s (Sheen, not Lorre) lawsuit accusing Charlie (Lorre, not Sheen) of firing him for destroying their show. Which would be like if I started writing dsgfslfhsdfhsdfsdfj all over this blog and my boss, which is really just a type-A version of myself that only comes out in mornings, was like, “You’re spouting nonsense. You’re fired!” And Type-B came out after breakfast at 1PM and was like, “You owe me.” Then my two selves fought a bitter war of attrition, neither realizing that they were only destroying themselves. Worst of all, neither caring…
And that’s the round-up.

Lia’s Dinner
Ultimately, we decided that dinner wasn’t a viable option. That’s fine, she’ll see everyone later and have a great time. She’s really looking forward to it.
