People who care a lot spend 10 days, most people do it in a week. But the fact is, we used to write 135 to 140 pages (per episode) ... There was so much in the shows that people could watch them a lot of times because they would forget the things that are in them ... And secondly, in the character Basil we nailed a certain kind of English lower-middle-class type who people are aware of and who, I think, does exist in quite a lot of people." — John Cleese, on Fawlty Towers. [Reuters]
  • "Just as what you are feeling in your life affects your acting, what you act in definitely affects what you are feeling in your life.

  • "Listen, I would love to tell you that I was this wonderfully smart and full-of-integrity kinda guy. But at the same time, man, I wanted to get laid. That was a big part of it! This is why I wanted to be different and why I wanted to have power and fame and money: because I wanted to be attractive to the opposite sex. I'd be lying to you if I didn't say that was a big part of it." — Michael Bublé. [Telegraph]

  • "Weight doesnt matter. At the end of the day everybody has a different standard for what turns them on. There are probably tons of men out there that find thick librarians smokin hottt! LOL. The way i dress represents who i am and i think everyone should just dress in whatever makes them feel good. And just for good measure, Wilkinson added, "And while im totally flattered u like the way i look and dress...i just hope u dont make other women feel like they have to wear a 'cloak' if they dont look like a Playmate!" — Kendra Wilkinson, in response to blog What Would Tyler Durden Do, which used a picture of her to write: "If a girl is built like Kendra, she should dress exactly like Kendra. Every day, all the time...If the girl isn't built like Kendra, um…I don't know. I guess maybe an invisibility cloak or something. What's the point to even being a girl if you're not gonna look like Kendra?" [Celebuzz]

<![CDATA[Awesome Clothes At Mysterious Movie Screening]]> I don't know much about Phoebe in Wonderland, which screened yesterday at Beverly Hills' Writers Guild Theater, but Jodie Foster, Felicity Huffman and various frighteningly poised children looked absolutely lovely.













The Good:
Loving Felicity Huffman's breezy, sunny (it can be both, right?) frock.


Why are these Fanning children - this is Elle - so ridiculously well-dressed?


Jodie Foster's all, yeah, I didn't even try...and look cool.


I am frightened of anyone this confident at...any age, but Mackenzie Milone certainly is working her cream shift!


The Bad:
Open neck is one thing. Off-the-shoulder is one thing. Looks-like-you-cut-it-yourself-too-big is quite another.


What Say You?
Dana Delaney: pretty or prissy?

Or maybe I've explored the heart of a woman, but it's been like skating on ice. You know, often you don't get to swim in it. It's an in-depth exploration, and kind of a close-up look at a woman, at all the different ways that she… I think in a way it's about love. You know?

I would defy anyone not to be affected by what is, I think, harassment really. I just think it's slightly below a moral code that I have as a man or as a human being.

  • "We pay millions and millions of dollars in tax. The thing that stung us [about the criticism] was the accusation of hypocrisy for my work as an activist. I can understand how people outside the country wouldn't understand how Ireland got to its prosperity but everybody in Ireland knows that there are some very clever people in the Government and in the Revenue who created a financial architecture that prospered the entire nation – it was a way of attracting people to this country who wouldn't normally do business here. And the financial services brought billions of dollars every year directly to the exchequer. What's actually hypocritical is the idea that then you couldn't use a financial services centre in Holland. The real question people need to ask about Ireland's tax policy is: ‘Was the nation a net gain benefactor?'

<![CDATA[Young Jodie Foster Extols The Educational Value Of The View-Master]]> Judging from this 1971 commercial, the View Master was such a fine toy it required not one, but two future Academy Award winners to sell it: Henry Fonda and a 9-year-old Jodie Foster.

Though the ad does feature two girls and a multi-ethnic cast, we question how progressive it really was, since the African-American girl's face is only shown for a split second. Why does the Peter Brady look-alike get all the screen time? Thanks to the reader who sent this tip. [Seriously? OMG!]

<![CDATA[Some Fashions At The Kids' Choice Awards Were Surprisingly Childish]]> Saturday night brought one of the events that, in my youth, I anticipated as anxiously as the winter holidays: The Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards. Lots of celebs! Lots of slime! Jack Black hosted the frenetically-paced activities and lots of celebrities brought the pretty. See: America Ferrera, left. Does she ever look bad? I also like how she played the pretty dress all casual with the wooden wedges, but that's neither here nor there. Also in attendance: Abigail Breslin, Cameron Diaz, Jordin Sparks, Jodie Foster, Amy Poehler, Ashlee Simpson, Hayden Panettiere, Rihanna and Miley Cyrus, who is looking less like a tween of late and more and more like a 50-something who's spent too much time in the tanning booth. Miley, and the other Good, Bad and Ugly, after the jump.

The Good: abigailbreslinkidschoice033.jpgYay for Abigail Breslin: She looks age appropriate and looks like she dressed herself. In other words, nothing really matches, but I'm totally down with it. camerondiazkidschoice0330.jpgCameron Diaz might be sporting a silly Samantha Jones haircut, but her dress is, like, cute. jordinsparkskidschoice0330.jpgAw, Jordin Sparks turned Chloe orange into Nickelodeon orange!

The Bad: amypoehler0330.jpgOh Amy Poehler, the contrived irony is killing me. ashleysimpsonkidschoice0330.jpgAshlee Simpson wins herself a "bad" award for appearing totally unrecognizable. (And wearing Chanel accessories.) haydenkidschoice0330.jpgI'm convinced that Hayden Panettiere owns 12 of the exact same dress in different colors. Sadly, none of them are tailored quite right. jodiefosterkidschoice0330.jpgGo ahead and hate on me: I just prefer Jodie Foster looking a little more polished. And not in a bootcut jean.

The Ugly: mileykidschoice0330.jpgMiley Cyrus? Or one of the Real Housewives? rihannakidschoice0330.jpgRihanna had her fucking legs insured: Why must she hide them in such unflattering pants?!

<![CDATA[The ShoWest Awards Had Some Tickety-Tacky Hot Tranny Messes]]> ShoWest is the trade show for the movie theatre industry. And because movie stars can't be movie stars unless they star in movies that get played in movie theatres, well, they need to show the ShoWest distributors a little love. In attendance at the trade show's awards ceremony last night? A series of big and small screen celebrities, including Sarah Jessica Parker, Abigail Breslin, Jodie Foster, Anne Hathaway, Kate Bosworth, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Christina Ricci, America Ferrera and Alexis Bledel (left).
