While Rosenberg was at USC, she wrote a script. It got passed around a bunch of different offices, and a bunch of different people told her, We love this; we're not gonna make it, but let's get you an agent. Then suddenly, someone called saying, "Get me that script, get it to me right away, I need you to send it this weekend, hurry, hurry!"  

She explains:  

I'm like, Wow… This is fantastic! I send them the script, and then I go in to meet with one of them. Everyone in the agency wants to meet with me, and I'm going, This is amazing. And one of them says, Yeah, we just made a deal with your mother. And I'm going, Okay, my mother's been dead 10 years, so you guys are great!

As it turned out, they thought I was Joan Rivers' daughter, because her name was Melissa Rosenberg also. I had this nepotism going for me without being related to anyone. 

Rosenberg went on to write Step Up and to work on The O.C.; I'm thinking about changing my name to Dodai Winfrey, Dodai Bruckheimer or just "D. Goldwyn."

Not Being Joan Rivers' Daughter Led To 'Twilight,' 'Dexter' [The Wrap]

It's really tough to decide which is more awesome: The Indiana Jones who's been amputated at the waist? The "extremely articulated" Batman, whom one could misread as being "extremely articulate"? Sorta loving Dumbledore and his phoenix, but the best thing here is definitely the Ark of the Covenant business card holder. Thou shalt not gaze upon my fax number, or thy face wilt melt!

Surely you have a friend who hasn't let go of her My Little Pony love? Wouldn't she dig a diner? Or a pony with brushable hair and her own radio-controlled scooter?

Perhaps you have an evil little sister for whom this would be an appropriate present?

Severus Snape! Unfortunately, he looks like a nun with a bad (drug) habit.

Whether you know someone who loves Hitchcock or hates Barbie, this will be the right peck pick.

Twelve inch talking David Bowie from Labyrinth? Want! Love the part in the movie when he says, "Fear me. Love me. Do as I say… And I will be your slave."

So many choices here. Over on the left, there's Power Girl, who is "realistically proportioned." Here on the right there's the Barbie Wonder Woman. But down below, there's Amazon Warrior Wonder Woman, who comes without the cumbersome cape and bears a battle-ax and shield instead. Fierce!

Tons and tons of Beatles stuff says "Love, love me do."

Dude. Everything Lebowski-inspired except the white Russian. And stuff for Dexter fans, too!

Think you it odd, spending over $100 on a Yoda figure? Believe not in the force, you do. Understand not the awesomeness.

A fully-functioning R2D2 that guards your room and follows you around? Must-have.

It's unsettling that this figure allows you to take Heath Ledger's head off, no? Maybe this "fan" stuff goes too far. And the price is rather high.

Ah, yes. The Santa dreidel, "sure to confound and confuse both Jews and gentiles," makes everything better. And it's priced to move.
