CHRISTINA RICCI APPRECIATION

So I was slightly drunk, with my best friend, at a haunted house a few weekends ago. You know, one of those fake ones they put together where you go to not be so much scared as harassed? Yes, the Conneaut Lake one in fact. something something levels of fear/hell something. I've never been to one before. They do a really nice job! It was fun. a lot of random people touching me and chainsaws breezing against my body. you know I loved that.

well, because of my intoxicated state, every time some person dressed up a ghoul or serial killer would jump out in front of me and be like BOOLA BOOLA BOOLA, I could think of one of two reactions:

a.) WHERE THE FUCK DID YOU PUT KE$HA
b.) CHRISTINA RICCI IS ON BROADWAY THIS WEEKEND! (I read this headline in the morning and for some reason, it just stayed with me).

Well I have done a lot of pondering on this issue, head-on-knuckles type. And I came to the conclusion: I LOVE CHRISTINA, I ALWAYS HAVE! especially this time of year- give my girl props for her roles as Wednesday Addams in the film revival of the series and her angsty turn in Casper, which is so still my favorite Halloween movie when I think about it. the end when they dance? oh my god oh my god I am still ten in places! swoon

She was such a pivotal child actress of the 90s. I mean, think about it! Mermaids, That Darn Cat. I feel like I grew up alongside of her, sorta.

Oh man, there used to be this show on MTV, I don't know if you remember it? anyway they would always pair these crazy fans up with the celebrities they were in love with. like I would get paired with Gwen, as an example (then there would be a restraining order issued). well they had this INSANE guy that was obsessed with Christina as Wednesday Addams, so MTV set them up and had them go to one of her movies together. Poor Christina! He was like ZOMGZOMGZOMGITSWEDNESDAY and dressed up just like her. and you could see her just staring at him, like :O I don't think she enjoyed it very much.

Since the 1990s, she's been able to transition very well to adult roles. Pumpkin, Monster, Penelope. nicely done, Christina! (coughcoughLilotakeanexamplefromthisgirl) and of course, BLACK SNAKE MOAN.

and now she's on Broadway with noted Useless Critic goddess Laura Linney, starring in Time Stands Still (she's getting awesome reviews!)
and a lot of actors (even if they are the shit in cinema) aspire to be on Broadway. or do live theater of some sort. I guess there is something to be said for the captive audience, an adrenaline rush film just does not offer.

so I'd like to salute Christina Ricci because I will always have a special place in my heart for her.

OMG THE MTV THING

anyway! she's also come out and said she's had a lot of confidence/body image problems recently. I'd like to dedicate this to her:

Give JR a Break

Recently, I've been reading some sites that have criticized James Roday, the lead actor on the USA show PSYCH for an apparent weight gain. But you know what? Who gives a flying fizzle stick if James Roday is slightly larger than he was 4 years ago. Apparently, it wasn't enough to scare away his current girlfriend/ co-star Maggie Lawson. (Who is one hell of a Catch!) And NO they are not engaged. That seems to be nothing more than a rumor, but there is a very high chance of it happening in the near future. Anyway, as long as PSYCH continues to entertain I don't mind about James Roday's waist. He, and Dule Hill, and Corbin Bernson too, can eat all the fried broccoli they want. The last episode of PSYCH wasn't so smashing, but I don't blame it on dietary issues. QATFYG: Are you keeping up with Psych? And who is hotter, James Roday or Maggie Lawson? (Trick Question but idk why) PS: If you have heard any more news on Roday and Lawson becoming Roday-Lawson, send it

No Time to Fuck: The Goldfrapp Essay

Konnichiwa! This is Irina Cummings and I'm here to discuss one of the most brilliant, innovative, and creative artists in the entire history of mankind: Goldfrapp – or as I like to call them , GODfrapp – the fantastique, highly inspirational, and sometimes criminally overlooked electronic music duo from London consisting of Alison Goldfrapp and Will Gregory, whose godly music has certainly influenced the vast majority of today's synthpop ladies, including Lady Gaga, Little Boots, La Roux, Annie and Florence + the Machine (not electro but still worth your while). They're primarily known for their mind-blowing music (which have spanned pretty much every style of electronic music – and some non-electronic as well), their abstract, sexually ambiguous – at times forthright – lyrics which are often not gender- specific , and their elaborate shows, not to mention the amazing visual aesthetics of their work, conjuring images that masterly complement

An Open Letter to the Actress: Milena Govich

Dear Milena Govich, Hey, how are you? What is up? Well, I assume you might get 5-7 fan letters a week, but I hope the glitter on my envelope stood out to you. In all seriousness, I have not been the most loyal fan of your filmography, but in the opening credits of the 2006 show, “Conviction,” I got to see you in your underwear. Ever since then, I have been one of your most active online stalkers (not a crime in all states I think). In the next letter, I promise to include an underwear photo for you, so we'll be even. Milena, I remember even back to the days when you worked on one of those other 200 Dick Wolf projects you did...what was the name of that show? “Law and Order.” Yes, that was it. You made history as playing the first female lead detective on the “Law and Order” original franchise for your role as Detective Cassidy. However, I will have to note your performance was strongly tainted when Chevy Chase guest-starred and gave you the nickname, “Detective Sugar-Tits.” At leas
