So Jennifer Aniston ended up on the “Friends” set once again. Well, Jimmel Kimmel kind of made her do it. He wrote a script for a new episode and insisted that she return to the role that made her famous. And speaking of friends, a couple of hers showed up to help with the scene.
So I’m doing a little bit of a follow-up to my autograph gripe from a week and a half back. Though this one’s not a gripe. I just wanted to make mention that John Kricfalusi (Ren & Stimpy’s creator) was also at the Los Angeles Comic Book and Science Fiction Convention on August 17, 2014, not only signing autographs but also doing caricatures and original Ren & Stimpy artwork for the fans. Prices could reach up to $150 but since this man is an actual working artist (yes, I realize that actors are artists too) and he wasn’t just simply signing his name and smiling for the camera, I think his prices were very justified.
I’ve got a gripe.
I’m not a fan of when celebrities charge money for autographs. Mind you, I’m not speaking of the actors that once starred on one of your favorite shows back in the day and now sign autographs at these collector shows and Comic-Cons as a way to make some extra scratch to live on. Or the ones that sign and give the proceeds to charity. I’m speaking of the folks who are currently working actors, paid a good buck, and charge an exorbitantamount of money to sign their John Hancock for their fans.
Jeff Bridges channeled his inner “Dude” as he threw out (actually bowled it) the first pitch at Friday’s Dodgers Game (Aug.1 , 2014). He then proceeded to give it another go and pitched it the second time around.
On July 17, 2014 Justin Bieber decided it was a good idea to go cliff diving. Well… it wasn’t!

What can I say about Joan Rivers? She certainly knows how to remain in the public eye. I’ll give her this… she doesn’t give up. Here is a woman who says anything she feels like saying regardless of the consequences and makes no apologies for it. You have to kind of respect that in this sickening PC environment we’ve created for ourselves. Every week another public figure is apologizing for something stupid they’ve said that managed to insult one group or another. Right or wrong, no one ever just stands their ground. That is, except for Joan Rivers! She certainly goes for it. Love her or hate her, she’s still sticking around.
So what’s it like to be an audience member for the taping of a late night talk show? Well, let me tell you. For quite some time, I’ve meant to go see a live taping of “The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson” but it was always one of those things that I put off because I could do it anytime. But as soon as Ferguson announced his plans to leave the show by the end of the year, that thing I kept putting off became a ‘now or never’ situation.
Hey gang, I thought I’d throw up some of the videos from the White House Correspondents’ Dinner from last night (May 3, 2014). What I have here is Joel McHale’s performance along with President Obama’s routine and the Julie Louis-Dreyfus – Joe Biden bit. I’ve also included past videos of some of the other celebrities who have hosted this dinner. I just thought I’d throw them all in one place for your convenience. Enjoy!
Bryan Cranston (of “Breaking Bad” fame) was on Howard Stern’s radio program this morning to promote his new Broadway Play which begins this week (he plays former President Lyndon B. Johnson in “All the Way.”). Of course the subjects of “Breaking Bad” and the casting rumor of him playing Lex Luthor in the new “Superman” movie came up. And this being Stern, the topics of him getting crabs, having threesomes, and wishing death on an ex-psycho girlfriend worked its way into the conversation as well.
Where’s Waldo?
