Happy National Record Store Day!

Posted: 16 Apr 2011 08:25 AM PDT

Today is Record Store Day, a holiday where all you have to do is a) go to a record store, if you can find one, and b) buy something. Though this isn’t a requirement, I strongly recommend using today as an excuse to watch Empire Records, the best movie about a record store ever.

Pia Toscano and Paul McDonald Have Mastered the Art of the 'Idol' Boot

Posted: 16 Apr 2011 07:33 AM PDT

Getting kicked off of American Idol sucks – you’ve lost your chance at the record deal prize offered up to the winner of the show. But every booted finalist’s role model is Jennifer Hudson, who rebounded from a surprise elimination in season 3 (eventual winner: Fantasia) to star in Dreamgirls and win an Oscar. The most recent bootees from this season of Idol, Pia Toscano (pictured) and Paul McDonald, clearly got a class in good PR. The strategy? Immediately hook up with someone famous so that your name stays out there.

Pia was kicked off last week, and although the judges said it wasn’t her time they were unable to save her and keep her around. Undeterred, she went out on a highly-publicized date with Dancing with the Stars pro Mark Ballas, and the paparazzi snapped photos of her shopping and “accidentally” running into her fans all over New York. And this week’s bootee, Paul, said in his exit interviews with the press that he is dating Twilight actress Nikki Reed. I wonder if they just happened to find really savvy publicists or if perhaps Jennifer Lopez gave them some behind-the-scenes expert advice. Either way, nice work, both of you!

Fan Fiction: What Neve Campbell Does When She's Not Starring in 'Scream' Movies

February 15, 2010

Riiiing!

The phone rings, and I jump only slightly. I read somewhere that after filming Psycho, Janet Leigh had to take a shower with the door open and a maid standing guard. What a diva. Sure, I’m a little jumpy after years of having strange voices call me up threatening to eviscerate me, but I wouldn’t make my maid stand by the phone. Just my assistant, Sabrina.

“Who is it?” I call out from the kitchen, where I’m hard at work over my newest crafting project. I sift through the pile of yarn, looking for the perfect shade of brown to match her hair. Too blond… too dark… here we go! Now, for the pins.

“It’s your publicist.” Sabrina walks into the kitchen and tosses me the phone. I almost drop it, it’s so small; am I the only person who thought life was easier when we were holding up brick-sized phones to our ears? “Hey,” I say into the tiny mouthpiece. “So what’s the word on Dancing with the Stars?”

“Neve, sweetie,” she starts, “it’s really a shame. See, you were the first person they thought of this season! But the producers realized that it would just be so unfair to the other contestants. Considering all the training you did for The Company, you know. You’re just too good!”

“I did train a lot,” I say distractedly, stabbing a pin into voodoo-doll-Jennifer-Love-Hewitt‘s boobs. I stick some in her legs for good measure. Now even if they call her up to be on DWTS, she won’t be able to dance her way out of a paper bag. That’ll show her — taking the Party of Five spin-off from me, that bitch. Why do you think I had that three-episode guest star on Medium? I had to find some way to beat Ghost Whisperer in the ratings.

Out of habit, I hang up without saying goodbye. “No go on Dancing with the Stars?” Sabrina asks sympathetically.

I shake my head and think back to the Simpsons episodes I did in 2009. I’m relevant, I’m relevant…

“Aw, I’m so sorry,” Sabrina says. “Do you want to hop in the car and stalk Mila Kunis for a little while?”

I manage a smile. “Thanks, but I’ll be OK. She’s probably already in New York anyway… shooting Black Swan at Lincoln Center… becoming best friends with Natalie Portman. At least, that’s what the Internet said. I don’t actually know what she’s up to. The Internet is great, isn’t it?”

Riiiing!

Famous 'All My Children' and 'One Life to Live' Alumni

Posted: 15 Apr 2011 01:40 PM PDT

Many hearts were broken – including ours – when ABC announced the cancellation of two of their long-running soaps, All My Children and One Life to Live. Though soaps get a reputation for being full of evil twins and demonic possessions (which, sometimes, they kinda are), soaps are also a breeding ground for young talent. In his episode of Inside the Actor’s Studio, Harrison Ford said that he admired soap actors because they have to memorize lots of dialogue in incredibly short amounts of time. Before we say goodbye to these two iconic shows (All My Children will conclude in September; One Life in January 2012), let’s take a look at some of the stars who got their stars in Pine Valley and Llanview.

  • Rebecca Budig
  • Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos
  • Nathan Fillion
  • Mischa Barton
  • Josh Duhamel
  • Phylicia Rashad
  • Ryan Phillippe
  • Amanda Seyfried
  • Sarah Michelle Gellar
  • Michelle Trachtenberg
  • Christian Slater
  • Marcia Cross
  • Melissa Leo
  • Laurence Fishburne
